# Fetchers {#chap-pkgs-fetchers}
Building software with Nix often requires downloading source code and other files from the internet.
To this end, Nixpkgs provides *fetchers*: functions to obtain remote sources via various protocols and services.
To this end, we use functions that we call _fetchers_, which obtain remote sources via various protocols and services.
Nix provides built-in fetchers such as [`builtins.fetchTarball`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html#builtins-fetchTarball).
Nixpkgs provides its own fetchers, which work differently:
Nixpkgs fetchers differ from built-in fetchers such as [`builtins.fetchTarball`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html#builtins-fetchTarball):
- A built-in fetcher will download and cache files at evaluation time and produce a [store path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary#gloss-store-path).
A Nixpkgs fetcher will create a ([fixed-output](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary#gloss-fixed-output-derivation)) [derivation](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/derivations), and files are downloaded at build time.
A Nixpkgs fetcher will create a ([fixed-output](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary#gloss-fixed-output-derivation)) [derivation](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary#gloss-derivation), and files are downloaded at build time.
- Built-in fetchers will invalidate their cache after [`tarball-ttl`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file#conf-tarball-ttl) expires, and will require network activity to check if the cache entry is up to date.
Nixpkgs fetchers only re-download if the specified hash changes or the store object is not otherwise available.
Nixpkgs fetchers only re-download if the specified hash changes or the store object is not available.
- Built-in fetchers do not use [substituters](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file#conf-substituters).
Derivations produced by Nixpkgs fetchers will use any configured binary cache transparently.
This significantly reduces the time needed to evaluate the entirety of Nixpkgs, and allows [Hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra) to retain and re-distribute sources used by Nixpkgs in the [public binary cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
For these reasons, built-in fetchers are not allowed in Nixpkgs source code.
This significantly reduces the time needed to evaluate Nixpkgs, and allows [Hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra) to retain and re-distribute sources used by Nixpkgs in the [public binary cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
For these reasons, Nix's built-in fetchers are not allowed in Nixpkgs.
The following table shows an overview of the differences:
The following table summarises the differences:
| Fetchers | Download | Output | Cache | Re-download when |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| `builtins.fetch*` | evaluation time | store path | `/nix/store`, `~/.cache/nix` | `tarball-ttl` expires, cache miss in `~/.cache/nix`, output store object not in local store |
| `pkgs.fetch*` | build time | derivation | `/nix/store`, substituters | output store object not available |
:::{.tip}
`pkgs.fetchFrom*` helpers retrieve _snapshots_ of version-controlled sources, as opposed to the entire version history, which is more efficient.
`pkgs.fetchgit` by default also has the same behaviour, but can be changed through specific attributes given to it.
:::
## Caveats {#chap-pkgs-fetchers-caveats}
The fact that the hash belongs to the Nix derivation output and not the file itself can lead to confusion.
For example, consider the following fetcher:
Because Nixpkgs fetchers are fixed-output derivations, an [output hash](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/advanced-attributes#adv-attr-outputHash) has to be specified, usually indirectly through a `hash` attribute.
This hash refers to the derivation output, which can be different from the remote source itself!
```nix
fetchurl {
url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.0.tar.gz";
hash = "sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=";
};
```
This has the following implications that you should be aware of:
A common mistake is to update a fetcher’s URL, or a version parameter, without updating the hash.
- Use Nix (or Nix-aware) tooling to produce the output hash.
```nix
fetchurl {
url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.1.tar.gz";
hash = "sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=";
};
```
- When changing any fetcher parameters, always update the output hash.
Use one of the methods from [](#sec-pkgs-fetchers-updating-source-hashes).
Otherwise, existing store objects that match the output hash will be re-used rather than fetching new content.
**This will reuse the old contents**.
Remember to invalidate the hash argument, in this case by setting the `hash` attribute to an empty string.
:::{.note}
A similar problem arises while testing changes to a fetcher's implementation.
If the output of the derivation already exists in the Nix store, test failures can go undetected.
The [`invalidateFetcherByDrvHash`](#tester-invalidateFetcherByDrvHash) function helps prevent reusing cached derivations.
:::
```nix
fetchurl {
url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.1.tar.gz";
## Updating source hashes {#sec-pkgs-fetchers-updating-source-hashes}
There are several ways to obtain the hash corresponding to a remote source.
Unless you understand how the fetcher you're using calculates the hash from the downloaded contents, you should use [the fake hash method](#sec-pkgs-fetchers-updating-source-hashes-fakehash-method).
1. []{#sec-pkgs-fetchers-updating-source-hashes-fakehash-method} The fake hash method: In your package recipe, set the hash to one of
- `""`
- `lib.fakeHash`
- `lib.fakeSha256`
- `lib.fakeSha512`
Attempt to build, extract the calculated hashes from error messages, and put them into the recipe.
:::{.warning}
You must use one of these four fake hashes and not some arbitrarily-chosen hash.
See [](#sec-pkgs-fetchers-secure-hashes) for details.
:::
:::{.example #ex-fetchers-update-fod-hash}
# Update source hash with the fake hash method
Consider the following recipe that produces a plain file:
```nix
{ fetchurl }:
fetchurl {
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05/.version";
hash = "sha256-ZHl1emidXVojm83LCVrwULpwIzKE/mYwfztVkvpruOM=";
}
```
A common mistake is to update a fetcher parameter, such as `url`, without updating the hash:
```nix
{ fetchurl }:
fetchurl {
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/23.11/.version";
hash = "sha256-ZHl1emidXVojm83LCVrwULpwIzKE/mYwfztVkvpruOM=";
}
```
**This will produce the same output as before!**
Set the hash to an empty string:
```nix
{ fetchurl }:
fetchurl {
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/23.11/.version";
hash = "";
};
```
}
```
Use the resulting error message to determine the correct hash.
When building the package, use the error message to determine the correct hash:
```
error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/path/to/my.drv':
```shell
$ nix-build
(some output removed for clarity)
error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/7yynn53jpc93l76z9zdjj4xdxgynawcw-version.drv':
specified: sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
got: sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=
```
got: sha256-BZqI7r0MNP29yGH5+yW2tjU9OOpOCEvwWKrWCv5CQ0I=
error: build of '/nix/store/bqdjcw5ij5ymfbm41dq230chk9hdhqff-version.drv' failed
```

2. Prefetch the source with [`nix-prefetch-<type> <URL>`](https://search.nixos.org/packages?buckets={%22package_attr_set%22%3A[%22No%20package%20set%22]%2C%22package_license_set%22%3A[]%2C%22package_maintainers_set%22%3A[]%2C%22package_platforms%22%3A[]}&query=nix-prefetch), where `<type>` is one of
- `url`
- `git`
- `hg`
- `cvs`
- `bzr`
- `svn`
The hash is printed to stdout.
3. Prefetch by package source (with `nix-prefetch-url '<nixpkgs>' -A <package>.src`, where `<package>` is package attribute name).
The hash is printed to stdout.
This works well when you've upgraded the existing package version and want to find out new hash, but is useless if the package can't be accessed by attribute or the package has multiple sources (`.srcs`, architecture-dependent sources, etc).
4. Upstream hash: use it when upstream provides `sha256` or `sha512`.
Don't use it when upstream provides `md5`, compute `sha256` instead.
A little nuance is that `nix-prefetch-*` tools produce hashes with the `nix32` encoding (a Nix-specific base32 adaptation), but upstream usually provides hexadecimal (`base16`) encoding.
Fetchers understand both formats.
Nixpkgs does not standardise on any one format.
You can convert between hash formats with [`nix-hash`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-hash).
5. Extract the hash from a local source archive with `sha256sum`.
Use `nix-prefetch-url file:///path/to/archive` if you want the custom Nix `base32` hash.
## Obtaining hashes securely {#sec-pkgs-fetchers-secure-hashes}
It's always a good idea to avoid Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks when downloading source contents.
Otherwise, you could unknowingly download malware instead of the intended source, and instead of the actual source hash, you'll end up using the hash of malware.
Here are security considerations for this scenario:
- `http://` URLs are not secure to prefetch hashes.
- Upstream hashes should be obtained via a secure protocol.
- `https://` URLs give you more protections when using `nix-prefetch-*` or for upstream hashes.
- `https://` URLs are secure when using the [fake hash method](#sec-pkgs-fetchers-updating-source-hashes-fakehash-method) *only if* you use one of the listed fake hashes.
If you use any other hash, the download will be exposed to MITM attacks even if you use HTTPS URLs.
In more concrete terms, if you use any other hash, the [`--insecure` flag](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-k) will be passed to the underlying call to `curl` when downloading content.

`pkgs.nix-gitignore` exports a number of functions, but you'll most likely need either `gitignoreSource` or `gitignoreSourcePure`. 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.
```nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:

nix-gitignore.gitignoreSource [] ./source
src = nix-gitignore.gitignoreSource [] ./source;
# Simplest version

src = nix-gitignore.gitignoreSource "supplemental-ignores\n" ./source;

nix-gitignore.gitignoreSourcePure "ignore-this\nignore-that\n" ./source
src = nix-gitignore.gitignoreSourcePure "ignore-this\nignore-that\n" ./source;

nix-gitignore.gitignoreSourcePure ["ignore-this\nignore-that\n", ~/.gitignore] ./source

# It also accepts a list (of strings and paths) that will be concatenated

{

This hook will make a build pause instead of stopping when a failure happens. It prevents nix from cleaning up the build environment immediately and allows the user to attach to a build environment using the `cntr` command. Upon build error it will print instructions on how to use `cntr`, which can be used to enter the environment for debugging. Installing cntr and running the command will provide shell access to the build sandbox of failed build. At `/var/lib/cntr` the sandboxed filesystem is mounted. All commands and files of the system are still accessible within the shell. To execute commands from the sandbox use the cntr exec subcommand. `cntr` is only supported on Linux-based platforms. To use it first add `cntr` to your `environment.systemPackages` on NixOS or alternatively to the root user on non-NixOS systems. Then in the package that is supposed to be inspected, add `breakpointHook` to `nativeBuildInputs`.
```nix
nativeBuildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];
{
nativeBuildInputs = [ breakpointHook ];

When a build failure happens there will be an instruction printed that shows how to attach with `cntr` to the build sandbox.

The `installShellCompletion` function takes one or more paths to shell completion files. By default it will autodetect the shell type from the completion file extension, but you may also specify it by passing one of `--bash`, `--fish`, or `--zsh`. These flags apply to all paths listed after them (up until another shell flag is given). Each path may also have a custom installation name provided by providing a flag `--name NAME` before the path. If this flag is not provided, zsh completions will be renamed automatically such that `foobar.zsh` becomes `_foobar`. A root name may be provided for all paths using the flag `--cmd NAME`; this synthesizes the appropriate name depending on the shell (e.g. `--cmd foo` will synthesize the name `foo.bash` for bash and `_foo` for zsh). The path may also be a fifo or named fd (such as produced by `<(cmd)`), in which case the shell and name must be provided.

To avoid costly file system access when locating icons, GTK, [as well as Qt](https://woboq.com/blog/qicon-reads-gtk-icon-cache-in-qt57.html), can rely on `icon-theme.cache` files from the themes' top-level directories. These files are generated using `gtk-update-icon-cache`, which is expected to be run whenever an icon is added or removed to an icon theme (typically an application icon into `hicolor` theme) and some programs do indeed run this after icon installation. However, since packages are installed into their own prefix by Nix, this would lead to conflicts. For that reason, `gtk3` provides a [setup hook](#ssec-gnome-hooks-gtk-drop-icon-theme-cache) that will clean the file from installation. Since most applications only ship their own icon that will be loaded on start-up, it should not affect them too much. On the other hand, icon themes are much larger and more widely used so we need to cache them. Because we recommend installing icon themes globally, we will generate the cache files from all packages in a profile using a NixOS module. You can enable the cache generation using `gtk.iconCache.enable` option if your desktop environment does not already do that.

Perl packages from CPAN are defined in [pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix) rather than `pkgs/all-packages.nix`. Most Perl packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here directly, rather than having a separate function for each package called from `perl-packages.nix`.

Some plugins require overrides in order to function properly. Overrides are placed in [overrides.nix](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/vim/plugins/overrides.nix). Overrides are most often required when a plugin requires some dependencies, or extra steps are required during the build process. For example `deoplete-fish` requires both `deoplete-nvim` and `vim-fish`, and so the following override was added:
```nix
deoplete-fish = super.deoplete-fish.overrideAttrs(old: {
{
deoplete-fish = super.deoplete-fish.overrideAttrs(old: {

});
});
}
```
Sometimes plugins require an override that must be changed when the plugin is updated. This can cause issues when Vim plugins are auto-updated but the associated override isn't updated. For these plugins, the override should be written so that it specifies all information required to install the plugin, and running `./update.py` doesn't change the derivation for the plugin. Manually updating the override is required to update these types of plugins. An example of such a plugin is `LanguageClient-neovim`.

In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It tries to cover most cases by default behavior. You can find the source separated in `<nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh>`; it’s relatively well-readable. The whole machinery is triggered by defining the `outputs` attribute to contain the list of desired output names (strings).
```nix
outputs = [ "bin" "dev" "out" "doc" ];
{
outputs = [ "bin" "dev" "out" "doc" ];
}
```
Often such a single line is enough. For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output. Typically you also want to have the main `out` output, as it catches any files that didn’t get elsewhere.

::: {.tip}
A common pattern is to use the [`nix-update-script`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/common-updater/nix-update.nix) attribute provided in Nixpkgs, which runs [`nix-update`](https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update):
```nix
passthru.updateScript = nix-update-script { };
{
passthru.updateScript = nix-update-script { };
}
```
For simple packages, this is often enough, and will ensure that the package is updated automatically by [`nixpkgs-update`](https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs-update) when a new version is released. The [update bot](https://nix-community.org/update-bot) runs periodically to attempt to automatically update packages, and will run `passthru.updateScript` if set. While not strictly necessary if the project is listed on [Repology](https://repology.org), using `nix-update-script` allows the package to update via many more sources (e.g. GitHub releases).

This script attempts to automatically convert option descriptions from
DocBook syntax to markdown. Naturally this process is incomplete and
imperfect, so any changes generated by this script MUST be reviewed.
Possible problems include: incorrectly replaced tags, badly formatted
markdown, DocBook tags this script doesn't recognize remaining in the
output and crashing the docs build, incorrect escaping of markdown
metacharacters, incorrect unescaping of XML entities—and the list goes on.
Always review the generated changes!
Some known limitations:
- Does not transform literalDocBook items
- Replacements can occur in non-option code, such as string literals
