Some extensions depend on other extensions. Previously, these had to
be added manually to the list of included extensions, or we got a
cryptic error message pointing to strings-with-deps.nix, which wasn't
very helpful. This makes sure all required extensions are included in
the set from which textClosureList chooses its snippets.
Rework withExtensions / buildEnv to handle currently enabled
extensions better and make them compatible with override. They now
accept a function with the named arguments enabled and all, where
enabled is a list of currently enabled extensions and all is the set
of all extensions. This gives us several nice properties:
- You always get the right version of the list of currently enabled
extensions
- Invocations chain
- It works well with overridden PHP packages - you always get the
correct versions of extensions
As a contrived example of what's possible, you can add ImageMagick,
then override the version and disable fpm, then disable cgi, and
lastly remove the zip extension like this:
{ pkgs ? (import <nixpkgs>) {} }:
with pkgs;
let
phpWithImagick = php74.withExtensions ({ all, enabled }: enabled ++ [ all.imagick ]);
phpWithImagickWithoutFpm743 = phpWithImagick.override {
version = "7.4.3";
sha256 = "wVF7pJV4+y3MZMc6Ptx21PxQfEp6xjmYFYTMfTtMbRQ=";
fpmSupport = false;
};
phpWithImagickWithoutFpmZip743 = phpWithImagickWithoutFpm743.withExtensions (
{ enabled, all }:
lib.filter (e: e != all.zip) enabled);
phpWithImagickWithoutFpmZipCgi743 = phpWithImagickWithoutFpmZip743.override {
cgiSupport = false;
};

For disabling tests when overriding, use `.overridePythonAttrs`.

This reverts commit 35812875a4455e2636eb24ddaf702faa4767fafa.
only very few people followed the strict policy in the last 5 years. the
maintainers accept backports without reason when it's obvious, so i
updated the policy to reflect that
Instead of hardcoding all nss modules that are added into nsswitch,
there are now options exposed.
This allows users to add own nss modules (I had this issue with
winbindd, for example).
Also, nss modules could be moved to their NixOS modules which would
make the nsswitch module slimmer.
As the lists are now handled by the modules system, we can use mkOrder
to ensure a proper order as well as mkForce to override one specific
database type instead of the entire file.
