With meson 0.47.0 (or 0.47.1, or git) things are very wrong re:rpath handling resulting in at best missing libs but even corrupt binaries :(. When we run patchelf it masks the problem by removing obviously busted paths. Which is probably why this wasn't noticed immediately. Unfortunately the binary already has a long series of paths scribbled in a space intended for a much smaller string; in my testing it was something like lengths were 67 with 300+ written to it. I think we've reported the relevant issues upstream, but unfortunately it appears our patches are what introduces the overwrite/corruption (by no longer being correct in what they assume) This doesn't look so bad to fix but it's not something I can spend more time on at the moment. -- Interestingly the overwritten string data (because it is scribbled past the bounds) remains in the binary and is why we're suddenly seeing unexpected references in various builds -- notably this is is the reason we're seeing the "extra-utils" breakage that entirely crippled NixOS on master (and probably on staging before?). Fixes #43650. This reverts commit 305ac4dade5758c58e8ab1666ad0197fd305828d. (cherry picked from commit 273d68eff8f7b6cd4ebed3718e5078a0f43cb55d) Signed-off-by: Domen Kožar <domen@dev.si>
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
