| | | | | As mentioned in #79975, the default on `legacyCargoFetcher` if left unspecified is now `false`.

| * doc: consistent formatting on python manual sectionBenjamin Hipple2020-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No material changes to docs, but trying to sanitize them for consistent readability prior to looking at #75837. - Use `*` for lists instead of `-`. I have no opinion one way or the other, but the latter was only used in 1-2 places. - Pad the code blocks with whitespace. - Wrap to 80 characters, except for a few 1-liners that were only slightly over.

| * | fetchcargo: use flat tar.gz file for vendored src instead of recursive hash dirBenjamin Hipple2020-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has several advantages: 1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store. 2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages. 3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache. 4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes). 5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work. 6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time src dependencies are tarred up. Disadvantages are: 1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build. As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented behavior that change the `cargoSha256`. If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.

| | | | | | | | | | | Updating section about imperative use of ad-hoc virtual-environments for use of pythons built-in `venv` module via venvShellHook. Also trying to make it a bit friendlier to beginners by adding a bit more explanation to the code snippet and some remarks old-school virtualenv.

* buildGoModule: support impure modules (#76532)zimbatm2019-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | When modSha256 is null, disable the nix sandbox instead of using a fixed-output derivation. This requires the nix-daemon to have `sandbox = relaxed` set in their config to work properly. Because the output is (hopefully) deterministic based on the inputs, this should give a reproducible output. This is useful for development outside of nixpkgs where re-generating the modSha256 on each mod.sum changes is cumbersome. Don't use this in nixpkgs! This is why null is not the default value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has the same motivation as fetchFromGitHub/fetchFromGitLab -- it's cheaper to download a tarball of a single revision than it is to download a whole history. I could have gone with domain/group/repo, like fetchFromGitLab, but it would have made implementation more difficult, and this syntax means it's a drop-in replacement for fetchgit, so I decided it wasn't worth it.
