## Writing good commit messages
In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.

where <replaceable>PACKAGE</replaceable> is package attribute name). Hash
is printed to stdout.
</para>
<para>
This works well when you've upgraded existing package version and want to
find out new hash, but is useless if package can't be accessed by
attribute or package has multiple sources (<literal>.srcs</literal>,
architecture-dependent sources, etc).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Upstream provided hash: use it when upstream provides
<literal>sha256</literal> or <literal>sha512</literal> (when upstream
provides <literal>md5</literal>, don't use it, compute
<literal>sha256</literal> instead).
</para>
<para>
A little nuance is that <literal>nix-prefetch-*</literal> tools produce
hash encoded with <literal>base32</literal>, but upstream usually provides
hexadecimal (<literal>base16</literal>) encoding. Fetchers understand both
formats. Nixpkgs does not standardize on any one format.
</para>
<para>
You can convert between formats with nix-hash, for example:
<screen>
$ nix-hash --type sha256 --to-base32 <replaceable>HASH</replaceable>
</screen>

Extracting hash from local source tarball can be done with

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Fake hash: set fake hash in package expression, perform build and extract
correct hash from error Nix prints.
</para>
<para>
For package updates it is enough to change one symbol to make hash fake.
For new packages, you can use <literal>lib.fakeSha256</literal>,
<literal>lib.fakeSha512</literal> or any other fake hash.
</para>
<para>
This is last resort method when reconstructing source URL is non-trivial
and <literal>nix-prefetch-url -A</literal> isn't applicable (for example,
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d2ab091dd308b99e4912b805a5eb088dd536adb9/pkgs/applications/video/kodi/default.nix#L73">
one of <literal>kodi</literal> dependencies</link>). The easiest way then
would be replace hash with a fake one and rebuild. Nix build will fail and
error message will contain desired hash.

<title>Obtaining hashes securely</title>
<para>
Let's say Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) sits close to your network. Then instead
of fetching source you can fetch malware, and instead of source hash you
get hash of malware. Here are security considerations for this scenario:

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>https://</literal> URLs are not secure in method 5. When
obtaining hashes with fake hash method, TLS checks are disabled. So
refetch source hash from several different networks to exclude MITM
scenario. Alternatively, use fake hash method to make Nix error, but
instead of extracting hash from error, extract
<literal>https://</literal> URL and prefetch it with method 1.

"Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another
type of machine. For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to
type of machine. For example, a typical use of cross-compilation is to
compile programs for embedded devices. These devices often don't have the
computing power and memory to compile their own programs. One might think
that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages
to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments
even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine. Nixpkgs is
increasingly adopting the opinion that packages should be written with
cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by
minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is

A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the
host and target platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of
"host platform" and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists
while both packages are running on a single host platform.
A run time dependency between two packages requires that their host
platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of "host platform"
and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists while both packages
are running on a single host platform.
</para>
<para>
A build time dependency, however, implies a shift in platforms between the
depending package and the depended-on package. The meaning of a build time
dependency is that to build the depending package we need to be able to run
the depended-on's package. The depending package's build platform is
therefore equal to the depended-on package's host platform. Analogously,
the depending package's host platform is equal to the depended-on package's
target platform.
A build time dependency, however, has a shift in platforms between the
depending package and the depended-on package. "build time dependency"
means that to build the depending package we need to be able to run the
depended-on's package. The depending package's build platform is therefore
equal to the depended-on package's host platform.
</para>
<para>
In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the
three platforms for all its transitive dependencies. This is the most
important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will
be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
If both the dependency and depending packages aren't compilers or other
machine-code-producing tools, we're done. And indeed
<varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>
have covered these simpler build-time and run-time (respectively) changes
for many years. But if the dependency does produce machine code, we might
need to worry about its target platform too. In principle, that target
platform might be any of the depending package's build, host, or target
platforms, but we prohibit dependencies from a "later" platform to an
earlier platform to limit confusion because we've never seen a legitimate
use for them.
</para>
<para>
Some examples will probably make this clearer. If a package is being built
with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of
<literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would
have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those
packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of
<literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>. In other words, it should take two
"rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a
fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no
longer changes. Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only
rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide
with native packages.
Finally, if the depending package is a compiler or other
machine-code-producing tool, it might need dependencies that run at "emit
time". This is for compilers that (regrettably) insist on being built
together with their source langauges' standard libraries. Assuming build !=
host != target, a run-time dependency of the standard library cannot be run
at the compiler's build time or run time, but only at the run time of code
emitted by the compiler.
</para>
<note>
<para>
The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding
window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build
cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
</para>
</note>
<para>
How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that
build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build
time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time. Now, for
most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly. Instead,
one can use the six (<emphasis>gasp</emphasis>) attributes used for
specifying dependencies as documented in
<xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-dependencies"/>. We "splice" together the
run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>,
and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls
the right derivation out. This splicing can be skipped when not cross
compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross
compiling. Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works
with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname>
needed. For now, feel free to use either method.
Putting this all together, that means we have dependencies in the form
"host → target", in at most the following six combinations:
<table>
<caption>Possible dependency types</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Dependency's host platform</th>
<th>Dependency's target platform</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>build</td>
<td>build</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>build</td>
<td>host</td>

<td>target</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>host</td>
<td>host</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>host</td>
<td>target</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>target</td>
<td>target</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</para>
<note>
<para>
There is also a "backlink" <varname>targetPackages</varname>, yielding a
package set whose <varname>buildPackages</varname> is the current package
set. This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build
systems. Please do not use this unless you are absolutely sure you are
packaging such a compiler and there is no other way.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Some examples will make this table clearer. Suppose there's some package
that is being built with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal>
platform triple of <literal>(foo, bar, baz)</literal>. If it has a
build-time library dependency, that would be a "host → build" dependency
with a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, *)</literal> (the target platform is
irrelevant). If it needs a compiler to be built, that would be a "build →
host" dependency with a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, *)</literal> (the
target platform is irrelevant). That compiler, would be built with another
compiler, also "build → host" dependency, with a triple of <literal>(foo,
foo, foo)</literal>.

If one explores nixpkgs, they will see derivations with names like
<literal>gccCross</literal>. Such <literal>*Cross</literal> derivations is
a holdover from before we properly distinguished between the host and
target platforms —the derivation with "Cross" in the name covered the
<literal>build = host != target</literal> case, while the other covered the
<literal>host = target</literal>, with build platform the same or not based
on whether one was using its <literal>.nativeDrv</literal> or
<literal>.crossDrv</literal>. This ugliness will disappear soon.
The categorizes of dependencies developed in
<xref
linkend="ssec-cross-dependency-categorization"/> are specified as
lists of derivations given to <varname>mkDerivation</varname>, as
documented in <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-dependencies"/>. In short,
each list of dependencies for "host → target" of "foo → bar" is called
<varname>depsFooBar</varname>, with exceptions for backwards
compatibility that <varname>depsBuildHost</varname> is instead called
<varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname> and <varname>depsHostTarget</varname>
is instead called <varname>buildInputs</varname>. Nixpkgs is now structured
so that each <varname>depsFooBar</varname> is automatically taken from
<varname>pkgsFooBar</varname>. (These <varname>pkgsFooBar</varname>s are
quite new, so there is no special case for
<varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname> and <varname>buildInputs</varname>.)
For example, <varname>pkgsBuildHost.gcc</varname> should be used at
build-time, while <varname>pkgsHostTarget.gcc</varname> should be used at
run-time.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Now, for most of Nixpkgs's history, there were no
<varname>pkgsFooBar</varname> attributes, and most packages have not been
refactored to use it explicitly. Prior to those, there were just
<varname>buildPackages</varname>, <varname>pkgs</varname>, and
<varname>targetPackages</varname>. Those are now redefined as aliases to
<varname>pkgsBuildHost</varname>, <varname>pkgsHostTarget</varname>, and
<varname>pkgsTargetTarget</varname>. It is acceptable, even
recommended, to use them for libraries to show that the host platform is
irrelevant.
</para>
<para>
But before that, there was just <varname>pkgs</varname>, even though both
<varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>
existed. [Cross barely worked, and those were implemented with some hacks
on <varname>mkDerivation</varname> to override dependencies.] What this
means is the vast majority of packages do not use any explicit package set
to populate their dependencies, just using whatever
<varname>callPackage</varname> gives them even if they do correctly sort
their dependencies into the multiple lists described above. And indeed,
asking that users both sort their dependencies, <emphasis>and</emphasis>
take them from the right attribute set, is both too onerous and redundant,
so the recommended approach (for now) is to continue just categorizing by
list and not using an explicit package set.
</para>
<para>
To make this work, we "splice" together the six
<varname>pkgsFooBar</varname> package sets and have
<varname>callPackage</varname> actually take its arguments from that. This
is currently implemented in <filename>pkgs/top-level/splice.nix</filename>.
<varname>mkDerivation</varname> then, for each dependency attribute, pulls
the right derivation out from the splice. This splicing can be skipped when
not cross-compiling as the package sets are the same, but still is a bit
slow for cross-compiling. We'd like to do something better, but haven't
come up with anything yet.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ssec-bootstrapping">
<title>Bootstrapping</title>
<para>
Each of the package sets described above come from a single bootstrapping
stage. While <filename>pkgs/top-level/default.nix</filename>, coordinates
the composition of stages at a high level,
<filename>pkgs/top-level/stage.nix</filename> "ties the knot" (creates the
fixed point) of each stage. The package sets are defined per-stage however,
so they can be thought of as edges between stages (the nodes) in a graph.
Compositions like <literal>pkgsBuildTarget.targetPackages</literal> can be
thought of as paths to this graph.
</para>
<para>
While there are many package sets, and thus many edges, the stages can also
be arranged in a linear chain. In other words, many of the edges are
redundant as far as connectivity is concerned. This hinges on the type of
bootstrapping we do. Currently for cross it is:
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>(native, native, native)</literal>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>(native, native, foreign)</literal>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>(native, foreign, foreign)</literal>
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
In each stage, <varname>pkgsBuildHost</varname> refers the the previous
stage, <varname>pkgsBuildBuild</varname> refers to the one before that, and
<varname>pkgsHostTarget</varname> refers to the current one, and
<varname>pkgsTargetTarget</varname> refers to the next one. When there is
no previous or next stage, they instead refer to the current stage. Note
how all the invariants regarding the mapping between dependency and depending
packages' build host and target platforms are preserved.
<varname>pkgsBuildTarget</varname> and <varname>pkgsHostHost</varname> are
more complex in that the stage fitting the requirements isn't always a
fixed chain of "prevs" and "nexts" away (modulo the "saturating"
self-references at the ends). We just special case each instead. All the primary
edges are implemented is in <filename>pkgs/stdenv/booter.nix</filename>,
and secondarily aliases in <filename>pkgs/top-level/stage.nix</filename>.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Note the native stages are bootstrapped in legacy ways that predate the
current cross implementation. This is why the the bootstrapping stages
leading up to the final stages are ignored inthe previous paragraph.
</para>
</note>
<para>
If one looks at the 3 platform triples, one can see that they overlap such
that one could put them together into a chain like:
<programlisting>
(native, native, native, foreign, foreign)
</programlisting>
If one imagines the saturating self references at the end being replaced
with infinite stages, and then overlays those platform triples, one ends up
with the infinite tuple:
<programlisting>
(native..., native, native, native, foreign, foreign, foreign...)
</programlisting>
On can then imagine any sequence of platforms such that there are bootstrap
stages with their 3 platforms determined by "sliding a window" that is the
3 tuple through the sequence. This was the original model for
bootstrapping. Without a target platform (assume a better world where all
compilers are multi-target and all standard libraries are built in their
own derivation), this is sufficient. Conversely if one wishes to cross
compile "faster", with a "Canadian Cross" bootstraping stage where
<literal>build != host != target</literal>, more bootstrapping stages are
needed since no sliding window providess the pesky
<varname>pkgsBuildTarget</varname> package set since it skips the Canadian
cross stage's "host".
</para>
<note>
<para>
It is much better to refer to <varname>buildPackages</varname> than
<varname>targetPackages</varname>, or more broadly package sets that do
not mention "target". There are three reasons for this.
</para>
<para>
First, it is because bootstrapping stages do not have a unique
<varname>targetPackages</varname>. For example a <literal>(x86-linux,
x86-linux, arm-linux)</literal> and <literal>(x86-linux, x86-linux,
x86-windows)</literal> package set both have a <literal>(x86-linux,
x86-linux, x86-linux)</literal> package set. Because there is no canonical
<varname>targetPackages</varname> for such a native (<literal>build ==
host == target</literal>) package set, we set their
<varname>targetPackages</varname>
</para>
<para>
Second, it is because this is a frequent source of hard-to-follow
"infinite recursions" / cycles. When only package sets that don't mention
target are used, the package set forms a directed acyclic graph. This
means that all cycles that exist are confined to one stage. This means
they are a lot smaller, and easier to follow in the code or a backtrace. It
also means they are present in native and cross builds alike, and so more
likely to be caught by CI and other users.
</para>
<para>
Thirdly, it is because everything target-mentioning only exists to
accommodate compilers with lousy build systems that insist on the compiler
itself and standard library being built together. Of course that is bad
because bigger derivations means longer rebuilds. It is also problematic because
it tends to make the standard libraries less like other libraries than
they could be, complicating code and build systems alike. Because of the
other problems, and because of these innate disadvantages, compilers ought
to be packaged another way where possible.
</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>
If one explores Nixpkgs, they will see derivations with names like
<literal>gccCross</literal>. Such <literal>*Cross</literal> derivations is
a holdover from before we properly distinguished between the host and
target platforms—the derivation with "Cross" in the name covered the
<literal>build = host != target</literal> case, while the other covered
the <literal>host = target</literal>, with build platform the same or not
based on whether one was using its <literal>.nativeDrv</literal> or
<literal>.crossDrv</literal>. This ugliness will disappear soon.

<title>Functions reference</title>
<para>
The nixpkgs repository has several utility functions to manipulate Nix
expressions.
</para>
<section xml:id="sec-overrides">
<title>Overriding</title>
<para>
Sometimes one wants to override parts of <literal>nixpkgs</literal>, e.g.
derivation attributes, the results of derivations or even the whole package
set.
</para>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
<para>
The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
</para>
<para>
Example usages:
<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
<programlisting>import pkgs.path { overlays = [ (self: super: {
foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };
})]};</programlisting>
<programlisting>mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
}</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a
function call with some default arguments, usually a derivation. Using
<varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with the
given new arguments.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideAttrs">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideAttrs</title>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> allows overriding the
attribute set passed to a <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> call,
producing a new derivation based on the original one. This function is
available on all derivations produced by the
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, which is most packages in
the nixpkgs expression <varname>pkgs</varname>.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>helloWithDebug = pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
separateDebugInfo = true;
});</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the above example, the <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> attribute is
overridden to be true, thus building debug info for
<varname>helloWithDebug</varname>, while all other attributes will be
retained from the original <varname>hello</varname> package.
</para>
<para>
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is conventionally used to refer to
the attr set originally passed to <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Note that <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> is processed only by the
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, not the generated, raw
Nix derivation. Thus, using <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> will not
work in this case, as it overrides only the attributes of the final
derivation. It is for this reason that <varname>overrideAttrs</varname>
should be preferred in (almost) all cases to
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname>, i.e. to allow using
<varname>sdenv.mkDerivation</varname> to process input arguments, as well
as the fact that it is easier to use (you can use the same attribute names
you see in your Nix code, instead of the ones generated (e.g.
<varname>buildInputs</varname> vs <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>,
and involves less typing.
</para>
</note>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideDerivation">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideDerivation</title>
<warning>
<para>
You should prefer <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> in almost all cases,
see its documentation for the reasons why.
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> is not deprecated and will continue
to work, but is less nice to use and does not have as many abilities as
<varname>overrideAttrs</varname>.
</para>
</warning>
<warning>
<para>
Do not use this function in Nixpkgs as it evaluates a Derivation before
modifying it, which breaks package abstraction and removes error-checking
of function arguments. In addition, this evaluation-per-function
application incurs a performance penalty, which can become a problem if
many overrides are used. It is only intended for ad-hoc customisation,
such as in <filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>.
</para>
</warning>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> creates a new derivation
based on an existing one by overriding the original's attributes with the
attribute set produced by the specified function. This function is
available on all derivations defined using the
<varname>makeOverridable</varname> function. Most standard
derivation-producing functions, such as
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>, are defined using this function,
which means most packages in the nixpkgs expression,
<varname>pkgs</varname>, have this function.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (oldAttrs: {
name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
src = fetchurl {
url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
};
patches = [];
});</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the above example, the <varname>name</varname>, <varname>src</varname>,
and <varname>patches</varname> of the derivation will be overridden, while
all other attributes will be retained from the original derivation.
</para>
<para>
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute
set of the original derivation.
</para>
<note>
<para>
A package's attributes are evaluated *before* being modified by the
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function. For example, the
<varname>name</varname> attribute reference in <varname>url =
"mirror://gnu/hello/${name}.tar.gz";</varname> is filled-in *before* the
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function modifies the attribute set.
This means that overriding the <varname>name</varname> attribute, in this
example, *will not* change the value of the <varname>url</varname>
attribute. Instead, we need to override both the <varname>name</varname>
*and* <varname>url</varname> attributes.
</para>
</note>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-lib-makeOverridable">
<title>lib.makeOverridable</title>
<para>
The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used to make the
result of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for
functions that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>f = { a, b }: { result = a+b; }
c = lib.makeOverridable f { a = 1; b = 2; }</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> is the value of the <varname>f</varname>
function applied with some default arguments. Hence the value of
<varname>c.result</varname> is <literal>3</literal>, in this example.
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional
functions, like <link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which
can be used to override the default arguments. In this example the value of
<varname>(c.override { a = 4; }).result</varname> is 6.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-generators">
<title>Generators</title>
<para>
Generators are functions that create file formats from nix data structures,
e. g. for configuration files. There are generators available for:
<literal>INI</literal>, <literal>JSON</literal> and <literal>YAML</literal>
</para>
<para>
All generators follow a similar call interface: <code>generatorName
configFunctions data</code>, where <literal>configFunctions</literal> is an
attrset of user-defined functions that format nested parts of the content.
They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set
manually. An example is <code>mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]"
] name)</code> from the <literal>INI</literal> generator. It receives the
name of a section and sanitizes it. The default
<literal>mkSectionName</literal> escapes <literal>[</literal> and
<literal>]</literal> with a backslash.
</para>
<para>
Generators can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the file format required by
your application/service. One example is an INI-file format which uses
<literal>: </literal> as separator, the strings
<literal>"yes"</literal>/<literal>"no"</literal> as boolean values and
requires all string values to be quoted:
</para>
<programlisting>
with lib;
let
customToINI = generators.toINI {
# specifies how to format a key/value pair
mkKeyValue = generators.mkKeyValueDefault {
# specifies the generated string for a subset of nix values
mkValueString = v:
if v == true then ''"yes"''
else if v == false then ''"no"''
else if isString v then ''"${v}"''
# and delegats all other values to the default generator
else generators.mkValueStringDefault {} v;
} ":";
};
# the INI file can now be given as plain old nix values
in customToINI {
main = {
pushinfo = true;
autopush = false;
host = "localhost";
port = 42;
};
mergetool = {
merge = "diff3";
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
This will produce the following INI file as nix string:
</para>
<programlisting>
[main]
autopush:"no"
host:"localhost"
port:42
pushinfo:"yes"
str\:ange:"very::strange"
[mergetool]
merge:"diff3"
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
Nix store paths can be converted to strings by enclosing a derivation
attribute like so: <code>"${drv}"</code>.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Detailed documentation for each generator can be found in
<literal>lib/generators.nix</literal>.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-debug">
<title>Debugging Nix Expressions</title>
<para>
Nix is a unityped, dynamic language, this means every value can potentially
appear anywhere. Since it is also non-strict, evaluation order and what
ultimately is evaluated might surprise you. Therefore it is important to be
able to debug nix expressions.
</para>
<para>
In the <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> file you will find a number of
functions that help (pretty-)printing values while evaluation is runnnig.
You can even specify how deep these values should be printed recursively,
and transform them on the fly. Please consult the docstrings in
<literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> for usage information.
</para>

<section xml:id="sec-fhs-environments">
<title>buildFHSUserEnv</title>

<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> provides a way to build and run
FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. It creates an isolated root with bound

needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or

<title>Debugging Nix Expressions</title>

Nix is a unityped, dynamic language, this means every value can potentially
appear anywhere. Since it is also non-strict, evaluation order and what
ultimately is evaluated might surprise you. Therefore it is important to be
able to debug nix expressions.
</para>
<para>
In the <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> file you will find a number of
functions that help (pretty-)printing values while evaluation is runnnig. You
can even specify how deep these values should be printed recursively, and
transform them on the fly. Please consult the docstrings in

<para>
Increasing the <varname>maxLayers</varname> increases the number of layers

</para>
<para>
Modern Docker installations support up to 128 layers, however older
versions support as few as 42.

<para>
If the produced image will not be extended by other Docker builds, it is

it will be impossible to extend the image further.
</para>
<para>
The first (<literal>maxLayers-2</literal>) most "popular" paths will have
their own individual layers, then layer #<literal>maxLayers-1</literal>
will contain all the remaining "unpopular" paths, and finally layer
#<literal>maxLayers</literal> will contain the Image configuration.

<title>Fetcher functions</title>
<para>
When using Nix, you will frequently need to download source code and other
files from the internet. Nixpkgs comes with a few helper functions that allow
you to fetch fixed-output derivations in a structured way.
</para>
<para>
The two fetcher primitives are <function>fetchurl</function> and
<function>fetchzip</function>. Both of these have two required arguments, a
URL and a hash. The hash is typically <literal>sha256</literal>, although
many more hash algorithms are supported. Nixpkgs contributors are currently
recommended to use <literal>sha256</literal>. This hash will be used by Nix
to identify your source. A typical usage of fetchurl is provided below.
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "hello";
src = fetchurl {
url = "http://www.example.org/hello.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111";
};
}
]]></programlisting>
<para>
The main difference between <function>fetchurl</function> and
<function>fetchzip</function> is in how they store the contents.
<function>fetchurl</function> will store the unaltered contents of the URL
within the Nix store. <function>fetchzip</function> on the other hand will
decompress the archive for you, making files and directories directly
accessible in the future. <function>fetchzip</function> can only be used with
archives. Despite the name, <function>fetchzip</function> is not limited to
.zip files and can also be used with any tarball.
</para>
<para>
<function>fetchpatch</function> works very similarly to
<function>fetchurl</function> with the same arguments expected. It expects
patch files as a source and and performs normalization on them before
computing the checksum. For example it will remove comments or other unstable
parts that are sometimes added by version control systems and can change over
time.
</para>
<para>
Other fetcher functions allow you to add source code directly from a VCS such
as subversion or git. These are mostly straightforward names based on the
name of the command used with the VCS system. Because they give you a working
repository, they act most like <function>fetchzip</function>.

<title>Generators</title>
<para>
Generators are functions that create file formats from nix data structures,
e. g. for configuration files. There are generators available for:
<literal>INI</literal>, <literal>JSON</literal> and <literal>YAML</literal>
</para>
<para>
All generators follow a similar call interface: <code>generatorName
configFunctions data</code>, where <literal>configFunctions</literal> is an
attrset of user-defined functions that format nested parts of the content.
They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set manually.
An example is <code>mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]" ]
name)</code> from the <literal>INI</literal> generator. It receives the name
of a section and sanitizes it. The default <literal>mkSectionName</literal>
escapes <literal>[</literal> and <literal>]</literal> with a backslash.
</para>
<para>
Generators can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the file format required by
your application/service. One example is an INI-file format which uses
<literal>: </literal> as separator, the strings
<literal>"yes"</literal>/<literal>"no"</literal> as boolean values and
requires all string values to be quoted:
</para>
<programlisting>
with lib;
let
customToINI = generators.toINI {
# specifies how to format a key/value pair
mkKeyValue = generators.mkKeyValueDefault {
# specifies the generated string for a subset of nix values
mkValueString = v:
if v == true then ''"yes"''
else if v == false then ''"no"''
else if isString v then ''"${v}"''
# and delegats all other values to the default generator
else generators.mkValueStringDefault {} v;
} ":";
};
# the INI file can now be given as plain old nix values
in customToINI {
main = {
pushinfo = true;
autopush = false;
host = "localhost";
port = 42;
};
mergetool = {
merge = "diff3";
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
This will produce the following INI file as nix string:
</para>
<programlisting>
[main]
autopush:"no"
host:"localhost"
port:42
pushinfo:"yes"
str\:ange:"very::strange"
[mergetool]
merge:"diff3"
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
Nix store paths can be converted to strings by enclosing a derivation
attribute like so: <code>"${drv}"</code>.
</para>

<para>
Detailed documentation for each generator can be found in
<literal>lib/generators.nix</literal>.

<function>pkgs.nix-gitignore</function> is a function that acts similarly to
<literal>builtins.filterSource</literal> but also allows filtering with the
help of the gitignore format.

<section xml:id="sec-pkgs-nix-gitignore-usage">
<title>Usage</title>
<para>
<literal>pkgs.nix-gitignore</literal> exports a number of functions, but
you'll most likely need either <literal>gitignoreSource</literal> or
<literal>gitignoreSourcePure</literal>. As their first argument, they both
accept either 1. a file with gitignore lines or 2. a string with gitignore
lines, or 3. a list of either of the two. They will be concatenated into a
single big string.

These functions are derived from the <literal>Filter</literal> functions by

<para>
Those filter functions accept the same arguments the
<literal>builtins.filterSource</literal> function would pass to its filters,
thus <literal>fn: gitignoreFilterSourcePure fn ""</literal> should be
extensionally equivalent to <literal>filterSource</literal>. The file is
blacklisted iff it's blacklisted by either your filter or the
gitignoreFilter.

<title>Overriding</title>
<para>
Sometimes one wants to override parts of <literal>nixpkgs</literal>, e.g.
derivation attributes, the results of derivations.
</para>
<para>
These functions are used to make changes to packages, returning only single
packages. <link xlink:href="#chap-overlays">Overlays</link>, on the other
hand, can be used to combine the overridden packages across the entire
package set of Nixpkgs.
</para>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
<para>
The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
</para>
<para>
Example usages:
<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
<!-- TODO: move below programlisting to a new section about extending and overlays
and reference it
-->
<programlisting>
import pkgs.path { overlays = [ (self: super: {
foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };
})]};
</programlisting>
<programlisting>
mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
}
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a
function call with some default arguments, usually a derivation. Using
<varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with the
given new arguments.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideAttrs">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideAttrs</title>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> allows overriding the
attribute set passed to a <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> call,
producing a new derivation based on the original one. This function is
available on all derivations produced by the
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, which is most packages in
the nixpkgs expression <varname>pkgs</varname>.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>
helloWithDebug = pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
separateDebugInfo = true;
});
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the above example, the <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> attribute is
overridden to be true, thus building debug info for
<varname>helloWithDebug</varname>, while all other attributes will be
retained from the original <varname>hello</varname> package.
</para>
<para>
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is conventionally used to refer to
the attr set originally passed to <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Note that <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> is processed only by the
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, not the generated, raw Nix
derivation. Thus, using <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> will not work
in this case, as it overrides only the attributes of the final derivation.
It is for this reason that <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> should be
preferred in (almost) all cases to <varname>overrideDerivation</varname>,
i.e. to allow using <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> to process input
arguments, as well as the fact that it is easier to use (you can use the
same attribute names you see in your Nix code, instead of the ones
generated (e.g. <varname>buildInputs</varname> vs
<varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>), and it involves less typing).
</para>
</note>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideDerivation">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideDerivation</title>
<warning>
<para>
You should prefer <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> in almost all cases, see
its documentation for the reasons why.
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> is not deprecated and will continue
to work, but is less nice to use and does not have as many abilities as
<varname>overrideAttrs</varname>.
</para>
</warning>
<warning>
<para>
Do not use this function in Nixpkgs as it evaluates a Derivation before
modifying it, which breaks package abstraction and removes error-checking
of function arguments. In addition, this evaluation-per-function
application incurs a performance penalty, which can become a problem if
many overrides are used. It is only intended for ad-hoc customisation, such
as in <filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>.
</para>
</warning>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> creates a new derivation
based on an existing one by overriding the original's attributes with the
attribute set produced by the specified function. This function is available
on all derivations defined using the <varname>makeOverridable</varname>
function. Most standard derivation-producing functions, such as
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>, are defined using this function,
which means most packages in the nixpkgs expression,
<varname>pkgs</varname>, have this function.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>
mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (oldAttrs: {
name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
src = fetchurl {
url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
};
patches = [];
});
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the above example, the <varname>name</varname>, <varname>src</varname>,
and <varname>patches</varname> of the derivation will be overridden, while
all other attributes will be retained from the original derivation.
</para>
<para>
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute
set of the original derivation.
</para>
<note>
<para>
A package's attributes are evaluated *before* being modified by the
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function. For example, the
<varname>name</varname> attribute reference in <varname>url =
"mirror://gnu/hello/${name}.tar.gz";</varname> is filled-in *before* the
<varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function modifies the attribute set.
This means that overriding the <varname>name</varname> attribute, in this
example, *will not* change the value of the <varname>url</varname>
attribute. Instead, we need to override both the <varname>name</varname>
*and* <varname>url</varname> attributes.
</para>
</note>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-lib-makeOverridable">
<title>lib.makeOverridable</title>
<para>
The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used to make the
result of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for
functions that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>
f = { a, b }: { result = a+b; };
c = lib.makeOverridable f { a = 1; b = 2; };
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> is the value of the <varname>f</varname>
function applied with some default arguments. Hence the value of
<varname>c.result</varname> is <literal>3</literal>, in this example.
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional
functions, like <link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which can
be used to override the default arguments. In this example the value of
<varname>(c.override { a = 4; }).result</varname> is 6.

Nixpkgs provides a couple of functions that help with building derivations.
The most important one, <function>stdenv.mkDerivation</function>, has already
been documented above. The following functions wrap
<function>stdenv.mkDerivation</function>, making it easier to use in certain
cases.
</para>
<variablelist>

<term>
<literal>runCommand</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This takes three arguments, <literal>name</literal>,
<literal>env</literal>, and <literal>buildCommand</literal>.
<literal>name</literal> is just the name that Nix will append to the store
path in the same way that <literal>stdenv.mkDerivation</literal> uses its
<literal>name</literal> attribute. <literal>env</literal> is an attribute
set specifying environment variables that will be set for this derivation.
These attributes are then passed to the wrapped
<literal>stdenv.mkDerivation</literal>. <literal>buildCommand</literal>
specifies the commands that will be run to create this derivation. Note
that you will need to create <literal>$out</literal> for Nix to register
the command as successful.
</para>
<para>
An example of using <literal>runCommand</literal> is provided below.
</para>
<programlisting>
(import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}).runCommand "my-example" {} ''

<listitem>
<para>
These functions write <literal>text</literal> to the Nix store. This is
useful for creating scripts from Nix expressions.
<literal>writeTextFile</literal> takes an attribute set and expects two
arguments, <literal>name</literal> and <literal>text</literal>.
<literal>name</literal> corresponds to the name used in the Nix store
path. <literal>text</literal> will be the contents of the file. You can
also set <literal>executable</literal> to true to make this file have the
executable bit set.
</para>
<para>
Many more commands wrap <literal>writeTextFile</literal> including
<literal>writeText</literal>, <literal>writeTextDir</literal>,
<literal>writeScript</literal>, and <literal>writeScriptBin</literal>.
These are convenience functions over <literal>writeTextFile</literal>.

<varlistentry>
<term>
<literal>symlinkJoin</literal>

<listitem>
<para>
This can be used to put many derivations into the same directory
structure. It works by creating a new derivation and adding symlinks to
each of the paths listed. It expects two arguments,
<literal>name</literal>, and <literal>paths</literal>.
<literal>name</literal> is the name used in the Nix store path for the
created derivation. <literal>paths</literal> is a list of paths that will

# Android
The Android build environment provides three major features and a number of
supporting features.
Deploying an Android SDK installation with plugins
--------------------------------------------------
The first use case is deploying the SDK with a desired set of plugins or subsets
of an SDK.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
androidComposition = androidenv.composeAndroidPackages {
toolsVersion = "25.2.5";
platformToolsVersion = "27.0.1";
buildToolsVersions = [ "27.0.3" ];
includeEmulator = false;
emulatorVersion = "27.2.0";
platformVersions = [ "24" ];
includeSources = false;
includeDocs = false;
includeSystemImages = false;
systemImageTypes = [ "default" ];
abiVersions = [ "armeabi-v7a" ];
lldbVersions = [ "2.0.2558144" ];
cmakeVersions = [ "3.6.4111459" ];
includeNDK = false;
ndkVersion = "16.1.4479499";
useGoogleAPIs = false;
useGoogleTVAddOns = false;
includeExtras = [
"extras;google;gcm"
];
};
in
androidComposition.androidsdk
```
The above function invocation states that we want an Android SDK with the above
specified plugin versions. By default, most plugins are disabled. Notable
exceptions are the tools, platform-tools and build-tools sub packages.
The following parameters are supported:
* `toolsVersion`, specifies the version of the tools package to use
* `platformsToolsVersion` specifies the version of the `platform-tools` plugin
* `buildToolsVersion` specifies the versions of the `build-tools` plugins to
use.
* `includeEmulator` specifies whether to deploy the emulator package (`false`
by default). When enabled, the version of the emulator to deploy can be
specified by setting the `emulatorVersion` parameter.
* `includeDocs` specifies whether the documentation catalog should be included.
* `lldbVersions` specifies what LLDB versions should be deployed.
* `cmakeVersions` specifies which CMake versions should be deployed.
* `includeNDK` specifies that the Android NDK bundle should be included.
Defaults to: `false`.
* `ndkVersion` specifies the NDK version that we want to use.
* `includeExtras` is an array of identifier strings referring to arbitrary
add-on packages that should be installed.
* `platformVersions` specifies which platform SDK versions should be included.
For each platform version that has been specified, we can apply the following
options:
* `includeSystemImages` specifies whether a system image for each platform SDK
should be included.
* `includeSources` specifies whether the sources for each SDK version should be
included.
* `useGoogleAPIs` specifies that for each selected platform version the
Google API should be included.
* `useGoogleTVAddOns` specifies that for each selected platform version the
Google TV add-on should be included.
For each requested system image we can specify the following options:
* `systemImageTypes` specifies what kind of system images should be included.
Defaults to: `default`.
* `abiVersions` specifies what kind of ABI version of each system image should
be included. Defaults to: `armeabi-v7a`.
Most of the function arguments have reasonable default settings.
When building the above expression with:
```bash
$ nix-build
```
The Android SDK gets deployed with all desired plugin versions.
We can also deploy subsets of the Android SDK. For example, to only the the
`platform-tools` package, you can evaluate the following expression:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
androidComposition = androidenv.composeAndroidPackages {
# ...
};
in
androidComposition.platform-tools
```
Using predefine Android package compositions
--------------------------------------------
In addition to composing an Android package set manually, it is also possible
to use a predefined composition that contains all basic packages for a specific
Android version, such as version 9.0 (API-level 28).
The following Nix expression can be used to deploy the entire SDK with all basic
plugins:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0.androidsdk
```
It is also possible to use one plugin only:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0.platform-tools
```
Building an Android application
-------------------------------
In addition to the SDK, it is also possible to build an Ant-based Android
project and automatically deploy all the Android plugins that a project
requires.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.buildApp {
name = "MyAndroidApp";
src = ./myappsources;
release = true;
# If release is set to true, you need to specify the following parameters
keyStore = ./keystore;
keyAlias = "myfirstapp";
keyStorePassword = "mykeystore";
keyAliasPassword = "myfirstapp";
# Any Android SDK parameters that install all the relevant plugins that a
# build requires
platformVersions = [ "24" ];
# When we include the NDK, then ndk-build is invoked before Ant gets invoked
includeNDK = true;
}
```
Aside from the app-specific build parameters (`name`, `src`, `release` and
keystore parameters), the `buildApp {}` function supports all the function
parameters that the SDK composition function (the function shown in the
previous section) supports.
This build function is particularly useful when it is desired to use
[Hydra](http://nixos.org/hydra): the Nix-based continuous integration solution
to build Android apps. An Android APK gets exposed as a build product and can be
installed on any Android device with a web browser by navigating to the build
result page.
Spawning emulator instances
---------------------------
For testing purposes, it can also be quite convenient to automatically generate
scripts that spawn emulator instances with all desired configuration settings.
An emulator spawn script can be configured by invoking the `emulateApp {}`
function:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.emulateApp {
name = "emulate-MyAndroidApp";
platformVersion = "24";
abiVersion = "armeabi-v7a"; # mips, x86 or x86_64
systemImageType = "default";
useGoogleAPIs = false;
}
```
It is also possible to specify an APK to deploy inside the emulator
and the package and activity names to launch it:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.emulateApp {
name = "emulate-MyAndroidApp";
platformVersion = "24";
abiVersion = "armeabi-v7a"; # mips, x86 or x86_64
systemImageType = "default";
useGoogleAPIs = false;
app = ./MyApp.apk;
package = "MyApp";
activity = "MainActivity";
}
```
In addition to prebuilt APKs, you can also bind the APK parameter to a
`buildApp {}` function invocation shown in the previous example.
Querying the available versions of each plugin
----------------------------------------------
When using any of the previously shown functions, it may be a bit inconvenient
to find out what options are supported, since the Android SDK provides many
plugins.
A shell script in the `pkgs/development/mobile/androidenv/` sub directory can be used to retrieve all
possible options:
```bash
sh ./querypackages.sh packages build-tools
```
The above command-line instruction queries all build-tools versions in the
generated `packages.nix` expression.
Updating the generated expressions
----------------------------------
Most of the Nix expressions are generated from XML files that the Android
package manager uses. To update the expressions run the `generate.sh` script
that is stored in the `pkgs/development/mobile/androidenv/` sub directory:
```bash
sh ./generate.sh
```

Idris packages
==============
# Idris packages
This directory contains build rules for idris packages. In addition,
it contains several functions to build and compose those packages.
Everything is exposed to the user via the `idrisPackages` attribute.
## Installing Idris
callPackage
------------
The easiest way to get a working idris version is to install the `idris` attribute:
This is like the normal nixpkgs callPackage function, specialized to
idris packages.
```
$ # On NixOS
$ nix-env -i nixos.idris
$ # On non-NixOS
$ nix-env -i nixpkgs.idris
```
builtins
---------
This however only provides the `prelude` and `base` libraries. To install additional libraries:
This is a list of all of the libraries that come packaged with Idris
itself.
```
$ nix-env -iE 'pkgs: pkgs.idrisPackages.with-packages (with pkgs.idrisPackages; [ contrib pruviloj ])'
```
build-idris-package
--------------------
To see all available Idris packages:
```
$ # On NixOS
$ nix-env -qaPA nixos.idrisPackages
$ # On non-NixOS
$ nix-env -qaPA nixpkgs.idrisPackages
```
A function to build an idris package. Its sole argument is a set like
you might pass to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, except `build-idris-package`
sets several attributes for you. See `build-idris-package.nix` for
details.
Similarly, entering a `nix-shell`:
```
$ nix-shell -p 'idrisPackages.with-packages (with idrisPackages; [ contrib pruviloj ])'
```
build-builtin-package
----------------------
## Starting Idris with library support
A version of `build-idris-package` specialized to builtin libraries.
Mostly for internal use.
To have access to these libraries in idris, call it with an argument `-p <library name>` for each library:
with-packages
-------------
```
$ nix-shell -p 'idrisPackages.with-packages (with idrisPackages; [ contrib pruviloj ])'
[nix-shell:~]$ idris -p contrib -p pruviloj
```
Bundle idris together with a list of packages. Because idris currently
only supports a single directory in its library path, you must include
all desired libraries here, including `prelude` and `base`.
A listing of all available packages the Idris binary has access to is available via `--listlibs`:
```
$ idris --listlibs
00prelude-idx.ibc
pruviloj
base
contrib
prelude
00pruviloj-idx.ibc
00base-idx.ibc
00contrib-idx.ibc
```
## Building an Idris project with Nix
As an example of how a Nix expression for an Idris package can be created, here is the one for `idrisPackages.yaml`:
```nix
{ build-idris-package
, fetchFromGitHub
, contrib
, lightyear
, lib
}:
build-idris-package {
name = "yaml";
version = "2018-01-25";
# This is the .ipkg file that should be built, defaults to the package name
# In this case it should build `Yaml.ipkg` instead of `yaml.ipkg`
# This is only necessary because the yaml packages ipkg file is
# different from its package name here.
ipkgName = "Yaml";
# Idris dependencies to provide for the build
idrisDeps = [ contrib lightyear ];
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "Heather";
repo = "Idris.Yaml";
rev = "5afa51ffc839844862b8316faba3bafa15656db4";
sha256 = "1g4pi0swmg214kndj85hj50ccmckni7piprsxfdzdfhg87s0avw7";
};
meta = {
description = "Idris YAML lib";
homepage = https://github.com/Heather/Idris.Yaml;
license = lib.licenses.mit;
maintainers = [ lib.maintainers.brainrape ];
};
}
```
Assuming this file is saved as `yaml.nix`, it's buildable using
```
$ nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).idrisPackages.callPackage ./yaml.nix {}'
```
Or it's possible to use
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
{
yaml = idrisPackages.callPackage ./yaml.nix {};
}
```
in another file (say `default.nix`) to be able to build it with
```
$ nix-build -A yaml
```

title: iOS
author: Sander van der Burg
date: 2018-11-18

# iOS
This component is basically a wrapper/workaround that makes it possible to
expose an Xcode installation as a Nix package by means of symlinking to the
relevant executables on the host system.
Since Xcode can't be packaged with Nix, nor we can publish it as a Nix package
(because of its license) this is basically the only integration strategy
making it possible to do iOS application builds that integrate with other
components of the Nix ecosystem
The primary objective of this project is to use the Nix expression language to
specify how iOS apps can be built from source code, and to automatically spawn
iOS simulator instances for testing.
This component also makes it possible to use [Hydra](http://nixos.org/hydra),
the Nix-based continuous integration server to regularly build iOS apps and to
do wireless ad-hoc installations of enterprise IPAs on iOS devices through
Hydra.
The Xcode build environment implements a number of features.
Deploying a proxy component wrapper exposing Xcode
--------------------------------------------------
The first use case is deploying a Nix package that provides symlinks to the Xcode
installation on the host system. This package can be used as a build input to
any build function implemented in the Nix expression language that requires
Xcode.
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcodeenv.composeXcodeWrapper {
version = "9.2";
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
By deploying the above expression with `nix-build` and inspecting its content
you will notice that several Xcode-related executables are exposed as a Nix
package:
```bash
$ ls result/bin
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 94 1 jan 1970 Simulator -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Simulator
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 17 1 jan 1970 codesign -> /usr/bin/codesign
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 17 1 jan 1970 security -> /usr/bin/security
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 21 1 jan 1970 xcode-select -> /usr/bin/xcode-select
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 61 1 jan 1970 xcodebuild -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 14 1 jan 1970 xcrun -> /usr/bin/xcrun
```
Building an iOS application
---------------------------
We can build an iOS app executable for the simulator, or an IPA/xcarchive file
for release purposes, e.g. ad-hoc, enterprise or store installations, by
executing the `xcodeenv.buildApp {}` function:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcodeenv.buildApp {
name = "MyApp";
src = ./myappsources;
sdkVersion = "11.2";
target = null; # Corresponds to the name of the app by default
configuration = null; # Release for release builds, Debug for debug builds
scheme = null; # -scheme will correspond to the app name by default
sdk = null; # null will set it to 'iphonesimulator` for simulator builds or `iphoneos` to real builds
xcodeFlags = "";
release = true;
certificateFile = ./mycertificate.p12;
certificatePassword = "secret";
provisioningProfile = ./myprovisioning.profile;
signMethod = "ad-hoc"; # 'enterprise' or 'store'
generateIPA = true;
generateXCArchive = false;
enableWirelessDistribution = true;
installURL = "/installipa.php";
bundleId = "mycompany.myapp";
appVersion = "1.0";
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
The above function takes a variety of parameters:
* The `name` and `src` parameters are mandatory and specify the name of the app
and the location where the source code resides
* `sdkVersion` specifies which version of the iOS SDK to use.
It also possile to adjust the `xcodebuild` parameters. This is only needed in
rare circumstances. In most cases the default values should suffice:
* Specifies which `xcodebuild` target to build. By default it takes the target
that has the same name as the app.
* The `configuration` parameter can be overridden if desired. By default, it
will do a debug build for the simulator and a release build for real devices.
* The `scheme` parameter specifies which `-scheme` parameter to propagate to
`xcodebuild`. By default, it corresponds to the app name.
* The `sdk` parameter specifies which SDK to use. By default, it picks
`iphonesimulator` for simulator builds and `iphoneos` for release builds.
* The `xcodeFlags` parameter specifies arbitrary command line parameters that
should be propagated to `xcodebuild`.
By default, builds are carried out for the iOS simulator. To do release builds
(builds for real iOS devices), you must set the `release` parameter to `true`.
In addition, you need to set the following parameters:
* `certificateFile` refers to a P12 certificate file.
* `certificatePassword` specifies the password of the P12 certificate.
* `provisioningProfile` refers to the provision profile needed to sign the app
* `signMethod` should refer to `ad-hoc` for signing the app with an ad-hoc
certificate, `enterprise` for enterprise certificates and `app-store` for App
store certificates.
* `generateIPA` specifies that we want to produce an IPA file (this is probably
what you want)
* `generateXCArchive` specifies thet we want to produce an xcarchive file.
When building IPA files on Hydra and when it is desired to allow iOS devices to
install IPAs by browsing to the Hydra build products page, you can enable the
`enableWirelessDistribution` parameter.
When enabled, you need to configure the following options:
* The `installURL` parameter refers to the URL of a PHP script that composes the
`itms-services://` URL allowing iOS devices to install the IPA file.
* `bundleId` refers to the bundle ID value of the app
* `appVersion` refers to the app's version number
To use wireless adhoc distributions, you must also install the corresponding
PHP script on a web server (see section: 'Installing the PHP script for wireless
ad hoc installations from Hydra' for more information).
In addition to the build parameters, you can also specify any parameters that
the `xcodeenv.composeXcodeWrapper {}` function takes. For example, the
`xcodeBaseDir` parameter can be overridden to refer to a different Xcode
version.
Spawning simulator instances
----------------------------
In addition to building iOS apps, we can also automatically spawn simulator
instances:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcode.simulateApp {
name = "simulate";
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
The above expression produces a script that starts the simulator from the
provided Xcode installation. The script can be started as follows:
```bash
./result/bin/run-test-simulator
```
By default, the script will show an overview of UDID for all available simulator
instances and asks you to pick one. You can also provide a UDID as a
command-line parameter to launch an instance automatically:
```bash
./result/bin/run-test-simulator 5C93129D-CF39-4B1A-955F-15180C3BD4B8
```
You can also extend the simulator script to automatically deploy and launch an
app in the requested simulator instance:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcode.simulateApp {
name = "simulate";
bundleId = "mycompany.myapp";
app = xcode.buildApp {
# ...
};
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
By providing the result of an `xcode.buildApp {}` function and configuring the
app bundle id, the app gets deployed automatically and started.

#### Handling dependencies
Our example, `toolz`, does not have any dependencies on other Python
packages or system libraries. According to the manual, `buildPythonPackage`
uses the arguments `buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` to specify dependencies. If something is
exclusively a build-time dependency, then the dependency should be included as a
`buildInput`, but if it is (also) a runtime dependency, then it should be added
to `propagatedBuildInputs`. Test dependencies are considered build-time dependencies.

#### `buildPythonApplication` function

The difference is that `buildPythonPackage` by default prefixes the names of the packages with the version of the interpreter.
Because this is irrelevant for applications, the prefix is omitted.
The `buildPythonApplication` function is practically the same as
`buildPythonPackage`. The main purpose of this function is to build a Python
package where one is interested only in the executables, and not importable
modules. For that reason, when adding this package to a `python.buildEnv`, the
modules won't be made available.
Another difference is that `buildPythonPackage` by default prefixes the names of
the packages with the version of the interpreter. Because this is irrelevant for
applications, the prefix is omitted.
When packaging a python application with `buildPythonApplication`, it should be
called with `callPackage` and passed `python` or `pythonPackages` (possibly
specifying an interpreter version), like this:

This is then added to `all-packages.nix` just as any other application would be.

### How to use Intel's MKL with numpy and scipy?
A `site.cfg` is created that configures BLAS based on the `blas` parameter
of the `numpy` derivation. By passing in `mkl`, `numpy` and packages depending
on `numpy` will be built with `mkl`.
The following is an overlay that configures `numpy` to use `mkl`:
```nix
self: super: {
python37 = super.python37.override {
packageOverrides = python-self: python-super: {
numpy = python-super.numpy.override {
blas = super.pkgs.mkl;
};
};
};
}
```
`mkl` requires an `openmp` implementation when running with multiple processors.
By default, `mkl` will use Intel's `iomp` implementation if no other is
specified, but this is a runtime-only dependency and binary compatible with the
LLVM implementation. To use that one instead, Intel recommends users set it with
`LD_PRELOAD`.
Note that `mkl` is only available on `x86_64-{linux,darwin}` platforms;
moreover, Hydra is not building and distributing pre-compiled binaries using it.
### What inputs do `setup_requires`, `install_requires` and `tests_require` map to?
In a `setup.py` or `setup.cfg` it is common to declare dependencies:
* `setup_requires` corresponds to `nativeBuildInputs`
* `install_requires` corresponds to `propagatedBuildInputs`
* `tests_require` corresponds to `checkInputs`
## Contributing
### Contributing guidelines
@ -1068,4 +1143,5 @@ Following rules are desired to be respected:
* Make sure libraries build for all Python interpreters.
* By default we enable tests. Make sure the tests are found and, in the case of libraries, are passing for all interpreters. If certain tests fail they can be disabled individually. Try to avoid disabling the tests altogether. In any case, when you disable tests, leave a comment explaining why.
* Commit names of Python libraries should reflect that they are Python libraries, so write for example `pythonPackages.numpy: 1.11 -> 1.12`.
* Attribute names in `python-packages.nix` should be normalized according to [PEP 0503](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0503/#normalized-names).
This means that characters should be converted to lowercase and `.` and `_` should be replaced by a single `-` (foo-bar-baz instead of Foo__Bar.baz )

# Titanium
The Nixpkgs repository contains facilities to deploy a variety of versions of
the [Titanium SDK](https://www.appcelerator.com) versions, a cross-platform
mobile app development framework using JavaScript as an implementation language,
and includes a function abstraction making it possible to build Titanium
applications for Android and iOS devices from source code.
Not all Titanium features supported -- currently, it can only be used to build
Android and iOS apps.
Building a Titanium app
-----------------------
We can build a Titanium app from source for Android or iOS and for debugging or
release purposes by invoking the `titaniumenv.buildApp {}` function:
```nix
titaniumenv.buildApp {
name = "myapp";
src = ./myappsource;
preBuild = "";
target = "android"; # or 'iphone'
tiVersion = "7.1.0.GA";
release = true;
androidsdkArgs = {
platformVersions = [ "25" "26" ];
};
androidKeyStore = ./keystore;
androidKeyAlias = "myfirstapp";
androidKeyStorePassword = "secret";
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
xcodewrapperArgs = {
version = "9.3";
};
iosMobileProvisioningProfile = ./myprovisioning.profile;
iosCertificateName = "My Company";
iosCertificate = ./mycertificate.p12;
iosCertificatePassword = "secret";
iosVersion = "11.3";
iosBuildStore = false;
enableWirelessDistribution = true;
installURL = "/installipa.php";
}
```
The `titaniumenv.buildApp {}` function takes the following parameters:
* The `name` parameter refers to the name in the Nix store.
* The `src` parameter refers to the source code location of the app that needs
to be built.
* `preRebuild` contains optional build instructions that are carried out before
the build starts.
* `target` indicates for which device the app must be built. Currently only
'android' and 'iphone' (for iOS) are supported.
* `tiVersion` can be used to optionally override the requested Titanium version
in `tiapp.xml`. If not specified, it will use the version in `tiapp.xml`.
* `release` should be set to true when building an app for submission to the
Google Playstore or Apple Appstore. Otherwise, it should be false.
When the `target` has been set to `android`, we can configure the following
parameters:
* The `androidSdkArgs` parameter refers to an attribute set that propagates all
parameters to the `androidenv.composeAndroidPackages {}` function. This can
be used to install all relevant Android plugins that may be needed to perform
the Android build. If no parameters are given, it will deploy the platform
SDKs for API-levels 25 and 26 by default.
When the `release` parameter has been set to true, you need to provide
parameters to sign the app:
* `androidKeyStore` is the path to the keystore file
* `androidKeyAlias` is the key alias
* `androidKeyStorePassword` refers to the password to open the keystore file.
When the `target` has been set to `iphone`, we can configure the following
parameters:
* The `xcodeBaseDir` parameter refers to the location where Xcode has been
installed. When none value is given, the above value is the default.
* The `xcodewrapperArgs` parameter passes arbitrary parameters to the
`xcodeenv.composeXcodeWrapper {}` function. This can, for example, be used
to adjust the default version of Xcode.
When `release` has been set to true, you also need to provide the following
parameters:
* `iosMobileProvisioningProfile` refers to a mobile provisioning profile needed
for signing.
* `iosCertificateName` refers to the company name in the P12 certificate.
* `iosCertificate` refers to the path to the P12 file.
* `iosCertificatePassword` contains the password to open the P12 file.
* `iosVersion` refers to the iOS SDK version to use. It defaults to the latest
version.
* `iosBuildStore` should be set to `true` when building for the Apple Appstore
submission. For enterprise or ad-hoc builds it should be set to `false`.
When `enableWirelessDistribution` has been enabled, you must also provide the
path of the PHP script (`installURL`) (that is included with the iOS build
environment) to enable wireless ad-hoc installations.
Emulating or simulating the app
-------------------------------
It is also possible to simulate the correspond iOS simulator build by using
`xcodeenv.simulateApp {}` and emulate an Android APK by using
`androidenv.emulateApp {}`.

# User's Guide to Vim Plugins/Addons/Bundles/Scripts in Nixpkgs
You'll get a vim(-your-suffix) in PATH also loading the plugins you want.
Both Neovim and Vim can be configured to include your favorite plugins
and additional libraries.
Loading can be deferred; see examples.
Vim packages, VAM (=vim-addon-manager) and Pathogen are supported to load
packages.
At the moment we support three different methods for managing plugins:
- Vim packages (*recommend*)
- VAM (=vim-addon-manager)
- Pathogen
- vim-plug
## Custom configuration
@ -17,6 +23,7 @@ Adding custom .vimrc lines can be done using the following code:
```
vim_configurable.customize {
# `name` specifies the name of the executable and package

@ -25,9 +32,38 @@ vim_configurable.customize {
}
```
## Vim packages
This configuration is used when vim is invoked with the command specified as name, in this case `vim-with-plugins`.
To store you plugins in Vim packages the following example can be used:
For Neovim the `configure` argument can be overridden to achieve the same:
```
neovim.override {
configure = {
customRC = ''
# here your custom configuration goes!
'';
};
}
```
If you want to use `neovim-qt` as a graphical editor, you can configure it by overriding neovim in an overlay
or passing it an overridden neovimn:
```
neovim-qt.override {
neovim = neovim.override {
configure = {
customRC = ''
# your custom configuration
'';
};
};
}
```
## Managing plugins with Vim packages

# manually loadable by calling `:packadd $plugin-name`
# however, if a vim plugin has a dependency that is not explicitly listed in
# opt that dependency will always be added to start to avoid confusion.
opt = [ phpCompletion elm-vim ];
# To automatically load a plugin when opening a filetype, add vimrc lines like:
# autocmd FileType php :packadd phpCompletion
}
};
};
}
```
## VAM
`myVimPackage` is an arbitrary name for the generated package. You can choose any name you like.
For Neovim the syntax is:
### dependencies by Vim plugins
```
neovim.override {
configure = {
customRC = ''
# here your custom configuration goes!
'';
packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
# see examples below how to use custom packages
start = [ ];
# If a vim plugin has a dependency that is not explicitly listed in
# opt that dependency will always be added to start to avoid confusion.
opt = [ ];
};
};
}
```
The resulting package can be added to `packageOverrides` in `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` to make it installable:
```
{
packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
myVim = vim_configurable.customize {
# `name` specifies the name of the executable and package
name = "vim-with-plugins";
# add here code from the example section
};
myNeovim = neovim.override {
configure = {
# add here code from the example section
};
};
};
}
```
After that you can install your special grafted `myVim` or `myNeovim` packages.
## Managing plugins with vim-plug
To use [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) to manage your Vim
plugins the following example can be used:
```
vim_configurable.customize {
vimrcConfig.packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
# loaded on launch
plug.plugins = [ youcompleteme fugitive phpCompletion elm-vim ];
};
}
```
For Neovim the syntax is:
```
neovim.override {
configure = {
customRC = ''
# here your custom configuration goes!
'';
plug.plugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [
vim-go
];
};
}

## Adding new plugins to nixpkgs
In `pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/vim-plugin-names` we store the plugin names
for all vim plugins we automatically generate plugins for.
The format of this file `github username/github repository`:
For example https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree becomes `scrooloose/nerdtree`.
After adding your plugin to this file run the `./update.py` in the same folder.
This will updated a file called `generated.nix` and make your plugin accessible in the
`vimPlugins` attribute set (`vimPlugins.nerdtree` in our example).
If additional steps to the build process of the plugin are required, add an
override to the `pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/default.nix` in the same directory.
## Important repositories
- [vim-pi](https://bitbucket.org/vimcommunity/vim-pi) is a plugin repository
from VAM plugin manager meant to be used by others as well used by

# mkShell
pkgs.mkShell is a special kind of derivation that is only useful when using
it combined with nix-shell. It will in fact fail to instantiate when invoked
with nix-build.
## Usage
```nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
# this will make all the build inputs from hello and gnutar available to the shell environment
inputsFrom = with pkgs; [ hello gnutar ];
buildInputs = [ pkgs.gnumake ];
}

# composableDerivation basically mixes these features:
# - fix function
# - mergeAttrBy
# - provides shortcuts for "options" such as "--enable-foo" and adding
# buildInputs, see php example
#
# It predates styles which are common today, such as
# * the config attr
# * mkDerivation.override feature
# * overrideDerivation (lib/customization.nix)
#
# Some of the most more important usage examples (which could be rewritten if it was important):
# * php
# * postgis
# * vim_configurable
#
# A minimal example illustrating most features would look like this:
# let base = composableDerivation { (fixed: let inherit (fixed.fixed) name in {
# src = fetchurl {
# }
# buildInputs = [A];
# preConfigre = "echo ${name}";
# # attention, "name" attr is missing, thus you cannot instantiate "base".
# }
# in {
# # These all add name attribute, thus you can instantiate those:
# v1 = base.merge ({ name = "foo-add-B"; buildInputs = [B]; }); // B gets merged into buildInputs
# v2 = base.merge ({ name = "mix-in-pre-configure-lines" preConfigre = ""; });
# v3 = base.replace ({ name = "foo-no-A-only-B;" buildInputs = [B]; });
# }
#
# So yes, you can think about it being something like nixos modules, and
# you'd be merging "features" in one at a time using .merge or .replace
# Thanks Shea for telling me that I rethink the documentation ..
#
# issues:
# * its complicated to understand
# * some "features" such as exact merge behaviour are buried in mergeAttrBy
# and defaultOverridableDelayableArgs assuming the default behaviour does
# the right thing in the common case
# * Eelco once said using such fix style functions are slow to evaluate
# * Too quick & dirty. Hard to understand for others. The benefit was that
# you were able to create a kernel builder like base derivation and replace
# / add patches the way you want without having to declare function arguments
#
# nice features:
# declaring "optional features" is modular. For instance:
# flags.curl = {
# configureFlags = ["--with-curl=${curl.dev}" "--with-curlwrappers"];
# buildInputs = [curl openssl];
# };
# flags.other = { .. }
# (Example taken from PHP)
#
# alternative styles / related features:
# * Eg see function supporting building the kernel
# * versionedDerivation (discussion about this is still going on - or ended)
# * composedArgsAndFun
# * mkDerivation.override
# * overrideDerivation
# * using { .., *Support ? false }: like configurable options.
# To find those examples use grep
#
# To sum up: It exists for historical reasons - and for most commonly used
# tasks the alternatives should be used
