stdenv: print message if structuredAttrs is enabled
stdenv: add _append
reduces the chance of a user doing it wrong
fix nix develop issue
output hooks don't work yet in nix develop though
making $outputs be the same on non-structuredAttrs and structuredAttrs
is too much trouble.
lets instead make a function that gets the output names
reading environment file '/nix/store/2x7m69a2sm2kh0r6v0q5s9z1dh41m4xf-xz-5.2.5-env-bin'
nix: src/nix/develop.cc:299: std::string Common::makeRcScript(nix::ref<nix::Store>, const BuildEnvironment&, const Path&): Assertion `outputs != buildEnvironment.vars.end()' failed.
use a function to get all output names instead of using $outputs
copy env functionality from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/76732/commits
*Flags implies a list

the makeInstalledTests function in `nixos/tests/installed-tests/default.nix` isn't available outside of nixpkgs so
it's not a breaking change
The sole consumer in Nixpkgs of `releaseTools.antBuild` is
`pkgs/development/libraries/junit`, which has been broken since
2015-09-08. The sole consumer in Nixpkgs of `junit` is
`pkgs/development/libraries/junixsocket`, which hasn't built due to
`junit` since 2015-09-08. All three are removed due to their obvious
lack of use.
All other packages in Nixpkgs depending on junit consume
`pkgs/development/java-modules/junit`, which is not broken.
Any downstreams that have kept using these `junit` or `junixsocket`
packages since 2015-09-08 have basically already vendored the packages
via patching them, so no aliases are provided.
Somewhere after #110628, which replaced stdenv.lib with lib, up to
bug #134572, lib got removed from the argument list, breaking any
invocations of debBuild. This adds it back.
Without this fix, I can no longer build anything with releaseTools.nixBuild {}. A job typically fails with:
$ nix-build release.nix -A build.basic.x86_64-linux --show-trace
error: while evaluating the attribute 'lib' of the derivation 'libnixxml-0.1pre1234' at /home/sander/teststuff/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/release/nix-build.nix:89:5:
cannot coerce a set to a string, at /home/sander/teststuff/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/release/nix-build.nix:89:5
This is caused by the fact that `lib' is propagated as a parameter, which is a function. Functions cannot be converted to strings.
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.
Checkinstall had two problems:
1. when it was called without a version (e.g. with a derivation created
by fetchFromGitHub) it would use `src` as debian version, which caused
dpkg to fail
2. when dpkg failed, it would invoke the pager with the log, which hangs
the build
So now
1. the default version is the dummy `0.0.0`
2. the used pager is `cat`
