The last use of `kernelMajor` in Nixpkgs was removed in 2018.
Even then, I'm not positive it was actually in an exercised code path.
AFAIUI this is now totally redundant and useless as it really was meant
for the 2.4 -> 2.6 transition.
split comes from builtins, not lib.
error: attribute 'split' missing, at /nix/path/nixpkgs/lib/sources.nix:4:4
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
I think there was a silent (i.e. semantic) merge conflict between PR #101139 and
PR #100456. This commit should fix the error, which manifests as follows:
error: undefined variable 'boolToString' at /home/kkini/src/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix:552:42
Nix can perform static scope checking, but whenever code is inside
a `with` expression, the analysis breaks down, because it can't
know statically what's in the attribute set whose attributes were
brought into scope. In those cases, Nix has to assume that
everything works out.
Except it doesnt. Removing `with` from lib/ revealed an undefined
variable in an error message.
If that doesn't convince you that we're better off without `with`,
I can tell you that this PR results in a 3% evaluation performance
improvement because Nix can look up local variables by index.
This adds up with applications like the module system.
Furthermore, removing `with` makes the binding site of each
variable obvious, which helps with comprehension.
Add a friendly function to easily return a flattened list of files
within a directory.
This is useful if you want to easily iterate or concatSep the list of
files all found within a directory.
(i.e. when constructing Java's CLASSPATH)

If multiple definitions are passed, this evaluates them all as if they
were the only one, for a better error message. In particular this won't
show module-internal properties like `_type = "override"` and co.
- These symbols can be confusing for those not familiar with them
- There's no harm in making these more obvious
- Terminals may not print them correctly either
Also changes the function argument printing slightly to be more obvious
