* Merge pull request #47238 from obsidiansystems/overrideScope-orderJohn Ericson2018-09-24
|\ | | | | lib: Deprecate `overrideScope` in lieu of `overrideScope'` taking arguments in the conventional order
| * lib: Make `overrideScope'` which takes arguments in the conventional orderJohn Ericson2018-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `overrideScope` bound by `makeScope` (via special `callPackage`) took an override in the form `super: self { … }`. But this is dangerously close to the `self: super { … }` form used by *everything* else, even other definitions of `overrideScope`! Since that implementation did not even share any code either until I changed it recently in 3cf43547f4be03d1d6eb0bbfc557e2dbc13b4095, this inconsistency is almost certainly an oversight and not intentional. Unfortunately, just as the inconstency is hard to debug if one just assumes the conventional order, any sudden fix would break existing overrides in the same hard-to-debug way. So instead of changing the definition a new `overrideScope'` with the conventional order is added, and old `overrideScope` deprecated with a warning saying to use `overrideScope'` instead. That will hopefully get people to stop using `overrideScope`, freeing our hand to change or remove it in the future.
* | doc: Don't mention top-level `{build, host, target}Platform`John Ericson2018-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For technical reasons, we cannot easily add a warning to top-level definitions, so 2a6e4ae49a891adc7c0562fda08b17d60beb1b4f and e51f736076548459f36a1250de4bf6867f880b66 reverted the deprecation. But we can still remove mention of the would-be deprecated definitions to steer people towards using the preferred alternatives.

* | dockerTools.buildImage: support impure datesGraham Christensen2018-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because dates are an impurity, by default buildImage will use a static date of one second past the UNIX Epoch. This can be a bit frustrating when listing docker images in the CLI: $ docker image list REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE hello latest 08c791c7846e 48 years ago 25.2MB If you want to trade the purity for a better user experience, you can set created to now. pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage { name = "hello"; tag = "latest"; created = "now"; contents = pkgs.hello; config.Cmd = [ "/bin/hello" ]; } and now the Docker CLI will display a reasonable date and sort the images as expected: $ docker image list REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE hello latest de2bf4786de6 About a minute ago 25.2MB

See https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster Detailed instructions how to activate this IBus engine on your desktop can be found in the upstream docs: https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html A simple VM with the Gnome3 desktop and activated `ibus' looks like this: ```nix { emojipicker = { pkgs, ... }: { services.xserver = { enable = true; desktopManager.gnome3.enable = true; desktopManager.xterm.enable = false; }; users.extraUsers.vm = { password = "vm"; isNormalUser = true; }; i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines = [ pkgs.ibus-engines.typing-booster ]; i18n.inputMethod.enabled = "ibus"; virtualisation.memorySize = 2048; }; } ``` Fixes #38721

* | vim-plugins: rewrite updaterJörg Thalheim2018-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new python script has been added to replace the aged viml-based updater. The new updater has the following advantages: - use rss feeds to check for updates quicker - parallel downloads & better caching - uses proper override mechanism instead of text substitution - update generated files in-place instead of having to insert updated plugins manually Automatically reading `dependencies` from the plugins directory has been not re-implemented. This has been mostly been used by Mark Weber's plugins, which seem to no longer receive regular updates. This could be implemented in future as required.

| * | weechat: 2.1 -> 2.2; improve package configurationMaximilian Bosch2018-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function inside a `weechat.override` expression. The package can be configured like this: ``` with import <nixpkgs> { }; weechat.override { plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: { plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins; init = '' /set foo bar /server add freenode chat.freenode.org ''; scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ]; }; } ``` All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`. The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be `builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default. Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless` (introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't know when we can/should remove them, but this at least gets people to stop using them. The preferred alternatives also date back to 17.09 so writing forward-compatable code without extra conditions is easy. Beginning with these as they are the least controversial.
