Cut down on the number of system images that need to be fetched by just
supporting packages from the last 5 years. Still test the last 10 years
of APIs without images.
When using `buildNodeModules` to create `node_modules` commands like `npm install` & `npm add` that writes packages & executables needs to be used with `--package-lock-only`.
It's confusing to have a polymorphic behavior for nvimSkipModule and it
is an implementation detail.
Let's not force ourselves to keep supporting both types and just support
lists, which imply plural in nixpkgs (e.g. "lib.optional" vs "lib.optionals").
Support and showcase just the list format to avoid confusion.
By replacing upstream's pg_config binary with a shell script, we:
- gain the ability to run pg_config easily when cross-compiling,
- can remove the fake pg_config in the default output,
- can remove the pg_config wrapper script dealing with special cases.
Some 20 years ago, pg_config *was* a shell script upstream, too. It was
changed to a binary, when it was made "relocatable", so it would return
paths depending on the location of the "postgres" binary. However, this
is exactly the thing that just hurts us in nixpkgs - we don't want those
paths to change, we want them to always point at the right outputs. By
writing the script ourselves, this becomes a lot less painful.
This approach means more lines of codes, but all of them are dead simple
and we have a lot less complexity overall.
Additionally, pg_config is now made a separate derivation, only exposed
as "postgresql.pg_config". This has the nice side-effect, that all users
of postgresql and libpq in nixpkgs must be very *explicit* about their
dependency on pg_config. This gives a lot more visibility into the state
of affairs regarding pkg-config support for libpq, which ultimately is
the much better solution.
testTarget takes a space separated list of test suites to run. We itnroduce a new testTargets argument that instead takes a list, and add a backwards compatibility shim
Cargo 1.84.0 broke fetchCargoTarball hashes, so fetchCargoTarball is
not long for this world. Tell people to use fetchCargoVendor, which
Nixpkgs is currently in the process of switching to across the tree.
* doc/neovim: better document the wrappers
there is new wrapper interface `wrapNeovimUnstable` in development intended to be
easier to use than the old `wrapNeovim`. It provides new fancy features that we would like to
leverage/advertise
The interface is not definitive yet so we provide a translation layer
to avoid breaking user configurations such that `wrapNeovim` still works.
This explains why we document both at the moment with the goal to remove
the old one once we ciment the interface.
