There has been a new major version, so it seems good to upgrade.
I had to drop two plugins:
- `asciidoctor-latex` seems dead, and hasn't had any commits since 2015.
- `asciidoctor-bespoke` also hasn't been updated for over a year, and
doesn't seem to be compatible with the new version.
A recent upgrade of cargo-vendor changed its output slightly, which
broke all cargoSha256 hashes in nixpkgs.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60668 for more information.
Since then, a few hashes have been fixed in master by hand, but there
were a lot still to do, so I did all of the ones left over with some
scripts I wrote.
The one hash I wasn’t able to update was habitat's, because it’s
currently broken and the build doesn’t get far enough to produce a
hash anyway.
Remove UnicodeCollate dependency, which is part of Perl 5.28 and
does not exist separately anymore.
Add PerlIO::utf8_strict, which lack thereof Biber complains about
during build.
texlive attribute was accidentally added in attrset wrapped with
stdenv.lib.optionalAttrs (!stdenv.isDarwin)
Fixes: dbc2c1c4b8 ('texlive: add missing perl dependencies for latexindent')
Initial language.{dat,def} configuration files provided by
`texlive.hyphen-base` may declare languages that were not part of the
combined packages. Those are filtered out by a sed script that had few
problems:
1) The sed script was generated from a list of potentially non-unique
packages. Every repetition of a select and print clause would produce a
copy of a language declaration in the output file. This became a problem
for update to the 2018-final, the fmtutil would crash from too much
German hyphenation.
2) The select clauses were ambiguous: both '^% from hyphen' and
'^% from hyphen-welsh' will match a line 'from hyphen-welsh'.
mkUniqueOutPaths used to produce empty paths for dummy packages, this
version strips those out. This does not affect `pkgList.bin` at all, but
`pkgList.nonbin` is affected, so this is not exactly a refactoring. It
should not harm to have a cleaner `paths`.
Also, original comment said "here we deal with those dummy packages
needed for hyphenation filtering". This doesn't seem to be true, the
packages that were really filtered are actually metapackages that
represent collections. I also could not find any dummy packages even in
the originally committed version.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
Use this patch until something like it is in the upstream repository.
Without it, the current date is used for the man pages, which makes them
non-reproducible.
repstopdf is supposed to be a symlink to epstopdf. Then epstopdf looks
at "$0" to detect when restricted mode needs to be enabled. Unfortunately
our wrapper will drop all intermediate symlinks, which messes up "$0".
Restricted mode appears to be a security feature, so a test is
introduced to verify that the wrapper works as expected.
The automake file was patched but `automake` not run.
Also since the texk/web2c folder is not in autoconfig's
SUBDIRS the autoreconfHook has to be run in there.
Completely fixes#46376
This seems like a known issue as other distributions (ArchLinux here)
have patches fixing the issue.
This hopefully fixes more than one dependant builds for ZHF 18.09.
Otherwise they will have to be generated by users lazily,
which is probably not the right trade-off.
Noticed this because lack of formats was causing problems
on a few documents since they will (a TL2018 change, I believe)
attempt to be written to the nix build user's ~/.texlive2018.
This commit rebuilds texlive 2017 with the final release of 2017. As described
in these issues [1][2][3], the upstream CTAN mirrors are a continuously moving
rolling release without historical archives.
This particular FTP server is also a rolling release folling CTAN for the latest
version, but it has snapshots of the final texlive releases; it appears that the
2017 distribution has been unmodified since texlive-2018 was released earlier
this year.
Along the way, we needed to fix several issues:
- xindy: if $HOME is unset, it will try to mkdir /homeless-shelter, which fails
due to insufficient permissions.
- scheme-infraonly: this scheme had symlinks into other releases that were
read-only, so it couldn't patch and modify the scripts. This commit removes it
for now, but that's not a particularly satisfying solution. Ideas?
This also adds some documentation on the upgrade process to prepare for
texlive-2018 [4].
This commit also replaces the sha1 hashes with upstream's standard sha512 hashes.
It appears the motivation for the shorter hashes was to save disk space in the
derivations; in master, the size of this directory is 1012K; in this commit it
is 1600K. The difference is not particularly large, and the downsides to using
our own sha1 hashes are:
- More nix code to maintain
- Multi-step upgrade process for maintainers: the maintainer first has to
download all upstream tarballs by sha512 hash, then run the fix script, then
rebuild with sha1 hashes.
- Less transparent. If we use the upstream sha512 hashes, any user can
immediately verify that the hashes we're providing match upstream, or match
the snapshot in time.
- Easier to debug. Since upstream is rolling and packages may disappear or fail
to build, it's useful to be able to determine if the sha mismatch is because
of an update or not; if we have a sha1 mismatch and no tarball to pull, we
can't figure out which sha512sum would have produced that sha1.
- Less trust required. Due to the above, users don't have to trust the
content-addressed mirrors on IPFS and @veprbl's servers as much.
- Easier to cobble together a source distribution from a variety of sources. It
seems some FTP servers have more/less than others, or older/newer packages. If
we know what we're looking for beforehand and we're just missing a few
packages whose hashes match the advertised hashes upstream, it's easier to find.

Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
