As nixpkgs expands its list of supported platforms, new system tuples are added.
Therefore we need to adjust the test suite regularly in order to cover newly
added platforms. For this purpose, the test suite checks the platforms it verifies
against a list of system tuples generated from nixpkgs. This list needs to be
updated manually, so running the test suite doesn’t depend on Nix being available.
To check if any new platforms need to be covered, do the following:
Run ./test/data/regenerate-all-system-tuples.sh /path/to/nixpkgs/checkout.
If no local nixpkgs is given, <nixpkgs> will be used.
Run the test suite: cabal v2-test.
If the test suite fails, add test cases for all missing system tuples.
In all cases, change the dates of last update in test/hspec.hs and
src/Distribution/Nixpkgs/Meta.hs to the current day.
Changes
Revision history for distribution-nixpkgs
1.7.0.1
Adapt test suite to changed representation of some Platforms in Cabal 3.8.
Update test data to include new nixpkgs architectures rx, microblaze and
microblazeel.
The distribution-nixpkgs repository has been merged into the
cabal2nix repository.
All URLs in the cabal file have been updated and the distribution-nixpkgs
repository will be archived.
1.7.0
Distribution.Nixpkgs.Meta
pPrint (x :: Meta) now renders every maintainer as a full attribute
path instead of using with.
API breaking change: Changed types for all platform related fields /
lenses of Meta, i.e. platforms and hydraPlatforms.
They are now wrapped in a Maybe. If Nothing, the respective attribute
is not rendered.
Instead of Platform we now use NixpkgsPlatform which may also be a
NixpkgsPlatformGroup, like lib.platforms.linux, in addition to the
wrapped Platform in NixpkgsPlatformSingle.
API breaking change: Add new fields / lenses to Meta:
badPlatforms: Allows setting a list of unsupported platforms, works
similarly to the platform / hydraPlatform lenses.
mainProgram: Allows setting the (base-)name of the main binary of a
derivation. Not rendered if Nothing.
API breaking change: Remove allKnownPlatforms, its previous use can be
replaced using badPlatforms.
Added nixpkgsPlatformFromString which parses a specific format used by
hackage2nix’s config files into either NixpkgsPlatformSingle or
NixpkgsPlatformGroup.
Language.Nix.PrettyPrinting: Added new helpers, listattrDoc and
toAscListSortedOn.
1.6.2
Expect MonadFailDesugaring (or equivalent behavior) to be the default,
requiring GHC >= 8.6.1. Adds support for GHC 9.2.1 (rc1).
1.6.1
Distribution.Nixpkgs.Meta: support aarch64-darwin
Render Platform AArch64 OSX to "aarch64-darwin"
Add Platform AArch64 OSX to allKnownPlatforms
1.6.0
Distribution.Nixpkgs.PackageMap
readNixpkgPackageMap: instead of a list of arguments to pass to
nix-env, take path to nixpkgs and an optional nix expression
to pass to it as arguments.
readNixpkgPackageMap: populate PackageMap with all attribute
paths that point to derivations instead of just one per derivation.
This fixes resolve not finding certain identifiers if there were
two attributes pointing to the same derivation in nixpkgs. See also
#9.
