Also add a wrapper generator that allows adding the plugins back conveniently and corresponding documentation in the package notes section of the nixpkgs manual.

<varname>name</varname> is the name of the patch (which is included in

the kernel’s <varname>meta.description</varname> attribute),
|

<varname>patch</varname> is the patch itself (possibly compressed),

Intel wireless chipsets), then NixOS doesn’t have to build the

<para>The Nix expressions for the X.org packages reside in

<filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/default.nix</filename>. This file is

automatically generated from lists of tarballs in an X.org release.
|

As such it should not be modified directly; rather, you should modify

the lists, the generator script or the file

<filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/overrides.nix</filename>, in which you
|

can override or add to the derivations produced by the

For each of the tarballs in the <filename>.list</filename> files, the

script downloads it, unpacks it, and searches its

<filename>configure.ac</filename> and <filename>*.pc.in</filename>
|

files for dependencies. This information is used to generate

<filename>default.nix</filename>. The generator caches downloaded
|

tarballs between runs. Pay close attention to the <literal>NOT FOUND:

<replaceable>name</replaceable></literal> messages at the end of the
|
||
run, since they may indicate missing dependencies. (Some might be
|
||
optional dependencies, however.)</para>
|

|

<para>A file like <filename>tarballs-7.5.list</filename> contains all

<para>If the expression for a package requires derivation attributes

<para>
|

The Nix expressions related to the Eclipse platform and IDE are in
|
||
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse"><filename>pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse</filename></link>.

</para>

<para>
|
||
Nixpkgs provides a number of packages that will install Eclipse in
|
||
its various forms, these range from the bare-bones Eclipse
|
||
Platform to the more fully featured Eclipse SDK or Scala-IDE
|
||
packages and multiple version are often available. It is possible
|
||
to list available Eclipse packages by issuing the command:
|
||
|
||
<screen>
|
||
$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses --description
|
||
</screen>
|
||
|
||
Once an Eclipse variant is installed it can be run using the
|
||
<command>eclipse</command> command, as expected. From within
|
||
Eclipse it is then possible to install plugins in the usual manner
|
||
by either manually specifying an Eclipse update site or by
|
||
installing the Marketplace Client plugin and using it to discover
|
||
and install other plugins. This installation method provides an
|
||
Eclipse installation that closely resemble a manually installed
|
||
Eclipse.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you prefer to install plugins in a more declarative manner then
|
||
Nixpkgs also offer a number of Eclipse plugins that can be
|
||
installed in an <emphasis>Eclipse environment</emphasis>. This
|
||
type of environment is created using the function
|
||
<varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> found inside the
|
||
<varname>nixpkgs.eclipses</varname> attribute set. This function
|
||
takes as argument <literal>{ eclipse, plugins ? [], jvmArgs ? []
|
||
}</literal> where <varname>eclipse</varname> is a one of the
|
||
Eclipse packages described above, <varname>plugins</varname> is a
|
||
list of plugin derivations, and <varname>jvmArgs</varname> is a
|
||
list of arguments given to the JVM running the Eclipse. For
|
||
example, say you wish to install the latest Eclipse Platform with
|
||
the popular Eclipse Color Theme plugin and also allow Eclipse to
|
||
use more RAM. You could then add
|
||
|
||
<screen>
|
||
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
|
||
myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
|
||
eclipse = eclipse-platform;
|
||
jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
|
||
plugins = [ plugins.color-theme ];
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</screen>
|
||
|
||
to your Nixpkgs configuration
|
||
(<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>) and install it by
|
||
running <command>nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA
|
||
myEclipse</command> and afterward run Eclipse as usual. It is
|
||
possible to find out which plugins are available for installation
|
||
using <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> by running
|
||
|
||
<screen>
|
||
$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses.plugins --description
|
||
</screen>
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If there is a need to install plugins that are not available in
|
||
Nixpkgs then it may be possible to define these plugins outside
|
||
Nixpkgs using the <varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> and
|
||
<varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> functions found in the
|
||
<varname>nixpkgs.eclipses.plugins</varname> attribute set. Use the
|
||
<varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> function to install a
|
||
plugin distributed as an Eclipse update site. This function takes
|
||
<literal>{ name, src }</literal> as argument where
|
||
<literal>src</literal> indicates the Eclipse update site archive.
|
||
All Eclipse features and plugins within the downloaded update site
|
||
will be installed. When an update site archive is not available
|
||
then the <varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> function can be
|
||
used to install a plugin that consists of a pair of feature and
|
||
plugin JARs. This function takes an argument <literal>{ name,
|
||
srcFeature, srcPlugin }</literal> where
|
||
<literal>srcFeature</literal> and <literal>srcPlugin</literal> are
|
||
the feature and plugin JARs, respectively.
|
||
</para>

functions we have

<link xlink:href="http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.nl/2013/09/composing-fhs-compatible-chroot.html">here</link>.

This allows us to have binaries in the expected paths without disrupting the system,

and to avoid patching them to work in a non FHS environment.

There is no java in steam chrootenv by default. If you get a message like
|

<programlisting>/home/foo/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/towns/towns.sh: line 1: java: command not found</programlisting>
|
||
You need to add
|
||
<programlisting> steam.override { withJava = true; };</programlisting>
|
||
to your configuration.

The FHS-compatible chroot used for steam can also be used to run

other linux games that expect a FHS environment.

To do it, add

The Emacs package comes with some extra helpers to make it easier to
|
||
configure. <varname>emacsWithPackages</varname> allows you to manage
|
||
packages from ELPA. This means that you will not have to install
|
||
that packages from within Emacs. For instance, if you wanted to use
|
||
<literal>company</literal>, <literal>counsel</literal>,
|
||
<literal>flycheck</literal>, <literal>ivy</literal>,
|
||
<literal>magit</literal>, <literal>projectile</literal>, and
|
||
<literal>use-package</literal> you could use this as a
|
||
<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename> override:

You can install it like any other packages via <command>nix-env -iA
|
||
myEmacs</command>. However, this will only install those packages.
|
||
It will not <literal>configure</literal> them for us. To do this, we
|
||
need to provide a configuration file. Luckily, it is possible to do
|
||
this from within Nix! By modifying the above example, we can make
|
||
Emacs load a custom config file. The key is to create a package that
|
||
provide a <filename>default.el</filename> file in
|
||
<filename>/share/emacs/site-start/</filename>. Emacs knows to load
|
||
this file automatically when it starts.

This provides a fairly full Emacs start file. It will load in

addition to the user's presonal config. You can always disable it by

Weechat can currently be configured to include your choice of plugins.
|
||
To make use of this functionality, install an expression that overrides its configuration such as
|
||
<programlisting>weechat.override {configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
|
||
plugins = with availablePlugins; [ python perl ];
|
||
}
|

}</programlisting>

<para>
|

The plugins currently available are <literal>python</literal>,
|
||
<literal>perl</literal>, <literal>ruby</literal>, <literal>guile</literal>,
|
||
<literal>tcl</literal> and <literal>lua</literal>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|

The python plugin allows the addition of extra libraries. For instance,
|
||
the <literal>inotify.py</literal> script in weechat-scripts requires
|
||
D-Bus or libnotify, and the <literal>fish.py</literal> script requires
|
||
pycrypto. To use these scripts, use the <literal>python</literal>
|
||
plugin's <literal>withPackages</literal> attribute:
|
||
<programlisting>weechat.override {configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
|
||
plugins = with availablePlugins; [
|
||
(python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pycrypto python-dbus ]))
