The update script would only fetch the few grammars listed in the
tree-sitter repository previously. But the tree-sitter github orga has
a rather large amount of officially supported grammars.
Thus we change the script to query the github APIs for repositories
instead (up to 100 this is supported without paging).
Since the repository list also contains some that are not grammars,
there is a bash script which lists all repos we are aware of and the
ones we want to ignore. It will make sure we don’t forget any
repositories in the future, by comparing to the actual list with jq.
The tree-sitter build closure is pretty lean by default, but the
optional web-ui requires emscripten to compile the web interface
javascript/wasm code.
This is clearly not worth the increase in build closure size, and
since emscripten is broken more often than not, let’s patch it out by
default. If somebody /really/ needs the web-ui, there is a
`webUISupport` flag.
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
Includes some bugfixes/cleanups to the scripts and packaging, a run of the
updater, a bump of the version, an upgrade to the newer cargo fetcher in #79975,
and gets the web assembly portion to compile successfully.
Fixes#75863
Changes the default fetcher in the Rust Platform to be the newer
`fetchCargoTarball`, and changes every application using the current default to
instead opt out.
This commit does not change any hashes or cause any rebuilds. Once integrated,
we will start deleting the opt-outs and recomputing hashes.
See #79975 for details.
