+# How to contribute
+
+Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
+under the terms of [COPYING](../COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
+
+## Opening issues
+
+* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
+* Make sure there is no open issue on the topic
+* [Submit a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/new/choose) by choosing the kind of topic and fill out the template
+
+## Submitting changes
+
+* Format the commit messages in the following way:
+
+  ```
+  (pkg-name | nixos/<module>): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
+
+  (Motivation for change. Additional information.)
+  ```
+
+  For consistency, there should not be a period at the end of the commit message's summary line (the first line of the commit message).
+
+  Examples:
+
+  * nginx: init at 2.0.1
+  * firefox: 54.0.1 -> 55.0
+  * nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option
+
+    Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo.
+  * nixos/nginx: refactor config generation
+
+    The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
+
+* `meta.description` should:
+  * Be capitalized.
+  * Not start with the package name.
+  * Not have a period at the end.
+* `meta.license` must be set and fit the upstream license.
+  * If there is no upstream license, `meta.license` should default to `stdenv.lib.licenses.unfree`.
+* `meta.maintainers` must be set.
+
+See the nixpkgs manual for more details on [standard meta-attributes](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-standard-meta-attributes) and on how to [submit changes to nixpkgs](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-submitting-changes).
+
+## Writing good commit messages
+
+In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list/Discourse archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.
+
+For package version upgrades and such a one-line commit message is usually sufficient.
+
+## Backporting changes
+
+Follow these steps to backport a change into a release branch in compliance with the [commit policy](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#submitting-changes-stable-release-branches).
+
+1. Take note of the commits in which the change was introduced into `master` branch.
+2. Check out the target _release branch_, e.g. `release-20.03`. Do not use a _channel branch_ like `nixos-20.03` or `nixpkgs-20.03`.
+3. Create a branch for your change, e.g. `git checkout -b backport`.
+4. When the reason to backport is not obvious from the original commit message, use `git cherry-pick -xe <original commit>` and add a reason. Otherwise use `git cherry-pick -x <original commit>`. That's fine for minor version updates that only include security and bug fixes, commits that fixes an otherwise broken package or similar.
+5. Push to GitHub and open a backport pull request. Make sure to select the release branch (e.g. `release-20.03`) as the target branch of the pull request, and link to the pull request in which the original change was comitted to `master`. The pull request title should be the commit title with the release version as prefix, e.g. `[20.03]`.

-title: ''
-labels: [ '0.kind: enhancement', '6.topic: reproducible builds' ]
-assignees: ''
-
----
-
-Building this package twice does not produce the bit-by-bit identical result each time, making it harder to detect CI breaches. You can read more about this at https://reproducible-builds.org/ .
-
-Fixing bit-by-bit reproducibility also has additional advantages, such as avoiding hard-to-reproduce bugs, making content-addressed storage more effective and reducing rebuilds in such systems.
-
-### Steps To Reproduce
-
-```
-nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A ... --check --keep-failed
-```
-
-You can use `diffoscope` to analyze the differences in the output of the two builds.
-
-To view the build log of the build that produced the artifact in the binary cache:

-```
-nix-store --read-log $(nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A ...)

-- Thanks for your contribution!
-- Our stale bot will never close an issue or PR.
-- To remove the stale label, just leave a new comment.
-- _How to find the right people to ping?_ → [`git blame`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) to the rescue! (or GitHub's history and blame buttons.)

-
-## Suggestions for PRs
-
-1. GitHub sometimes doesn't notify people who commented / reviewed a PR previously, when you (force) push commits. If you have addressed the reviews you can [officially ask for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from those who commented to you or anyone else.
-2. If it is unfinished but you plan to finish it, please mark it as a draft.
-3. If you don't expect to work on it any time soon, closing it with a short comment may encourage someone else to pick up your work.
-4. To get things rolling again, rebase the PR against the target branch and address valid comments.
-5. If you need a review to move forward, ask in [the Discourse thread for PRs that need help](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604).
-6. If all you need is a merge, check the git history to find and [request reviews](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from people who usually merge related contributions.
-
-## Suggestions for issues
-
-1. If it is resolved (either for you personally, or in general), please consider closing it.
-2. If this might still be an issue, but you are not interested in promoting its resolution, please consider closing it while encouraging others to take over and reopen an issue if they care enough.
-3. If you still have interest in resolving it, try to ping somebody who you believe might have an interest in the topic. Consider discussing the problem in [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
-4. As with all open source projects, your best option is to submit a Pull Request that addresses this issue. We :heart: this attitude!
-
-**Memorandum on closing issues**
-
-Don't be afraid to close an issue that holds valuable information. Closed issues stay in the system for people to search, read, cross-reference, or even reopen--nothing is lost! Closing obsolete issues is an important way to help maintainers focus their time and effort.

+    Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for your contributions.
+
+    Nixpkgs is a busy repository, and unfortunately sometimes PRs get left behind for too long. Nevertheless, we'd like to help committers reach the PRs that are still important. This PR has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.
+
+    If this is still important to you and you'd like to remove the stale label, we ask that you leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me".  But there's a bit more you can do:
+
+    If you received an approval by an unprivileged maintainer and you are just waiting for a merge, you can @ mention someone with merge permissions and ask them to help. You might be able to find someone relevant by using [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) on the relevant files, or via [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file). You can see if someone's a member of the [nixpkgs-committers](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-committers) team, by hovering with the mouse over their username on the web interface, or by searching them directly on [the list](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-committers).
+
+    If your PR wasn't reviewed at all, it might help to find someone who's perhaps a user of the package or module you are changing, or alternatively, ask once more for a review by the maintainer of the package/module this is about. If you don't know any, you can use [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) on the relevant files, or [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file) to find someone who touched the relevant files in the past.
+
+    If your PR has had reviews and nevertheless got stale, make sure you've responded to all of the reviewer's requests / questions. Usually when PR authors show responsibility and dedication, reviewers (privileged or not) show dedication as well. If you've pushed a change, it's possible the reviewer wasn't notified about your push via email, so you can always [officially request them for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review), or just @ mention them and say you've addressed their comments.
+
+    Lastly, you can always ask for help at [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/), or more specifically, [at this thread](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604) or at [#nixos' IRC channel](https://webchat.freenode.net/#nixos).

+issues:
+  markComment: |
+    Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.
+
+    To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.
+
+    The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it.
+
+    If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) or [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file) on the relevant files to find them.

-# How to contribute
-
-Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
-under the terms of [COPYING](COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
-
-## Opening issues
-
-* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
-* Make sure there is no open issue on the topic
-* [Submit a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/new/choose) by choosing the kind of topic and fill out the template
-
-## Submitting changes
-
-Read the ["Submitting changes"](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-submitting-changes) section of the nixpkgs manual. It explains how to write, test, and iterate on your change, and which branch to base your pull request against.
-
-Below is a short excerpt of some points in there:
-
-* Format the commit messages in the following way:
-
-  ```
-  (pkg-name | nixos/<module>): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
-
-  (Motivation for change. Link to release notes. Additional information.)
-  ```
-
-  For consistency, there should not be a period at the end of the commit message's summary line (the first line of the commit message).
-
-  Examples:
-
-  * nginx: init at 2.0.1
-  * firefox: 54.0.1 -> 55.0
-    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/55.0/releasenotes/
-  * nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option
-
-    Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo.
-  * nixos/nginx: refactor config generation
-
-    The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
-
-* `meta.description` should:
-  * Be short, just one sentence.
-  * Be capitalized.
-  * Not start with the package name.
-    * More generally, it should not refer to the package name.
-  * Not end with a period (or any punctuation for that matter).
-* `meta.license` must be set and fit the upstream license.
-  * If there is no upstream license, `meta.license` should default to `lib.licenses.unfree`.
-  * If in doubt, try to contact the upstream developers for clarification.
-* `meta.maintainers` must be set.
-
-See the nixpkgs manual for more details on [standard meta-attributes](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-standard-meta-attributes).
-
-## Writing good commit messages
-
-In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list/Discourse archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.
-
-Package version upgrades usually allow for simpler commit messages, including attribute name, old and new version, as well as a reference to the relevant release notes/changelog. Every once in a while a package upgrade requires more extensive changes, and that subsequently warrants a more verbose message.
-
-Pull requests should not be squash merged in order to keep complete commit messages and GPG signatures intact and must not be when the change doesn't make sense as a single commit.
-This means that, when addressing review comments in order to keep the pull request in an always mergeable status, you will sometimes need to rewrite your branch's history and then force-push it with `git push --force-with-lease`.
-Useful git commands that can help a lot with this are `git commit --patch --amend` and `git rebase --interactive`. For more details consult the git man pages or online resources like [git-rebase.io](https://git-rebase.io/) or [The Pro Git Book](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History).
-
-## Rebasing between branches (i.e. from master to staging)
-
-From time to time, changes between branches must be rebased, for example, if the
-number of new rebuilds they would cause is too large for the target branch. When
-rebasing, care must be taken to include only the intended changes, otherwise
-many CODEOWNERS will be inadvertently requested for review.  To achieve this,
-rebasing should not be performed directly on the target branch, but on the merge
-base between the current and target branch.
-
-In the following example, we assume that the current branch, called `feature`,
-is based on `master`, and we rebase it onto the merge base between
-`master` and `staging` so that the PR can eventually be retargeted to
-`staging` without causing a mess. The example uses `upstream` as the remote for `NixOS/nixpkgs.git`
-while `origin` is the remote you are pushing to.
-
-
-```console
-# Rebase your commits onto the common merge base
-git rebase --onto upstream/staging... upstream/master
-# Force push your changes
-git push origin feature --force-with-lease
-```
-
-The syntax `upstream/staging...` is equivalent to `upstream/staging...HEAD` and
-stands for the merge base between `upstream/staging` and `HEAD` (hence between
-`upstream/staging` and `upstream/master`).
-
-Then change the base branch in the GitHub PR using the *Edit* button in the upper
-right corner, and switch from `master` to `staging`. *After* the PR has been
-retargeted it might be necessary to do a final rebase onto the target branch, to
-resolve any outstanding merge conflicts.
-
-```console
-# Rebase onto target branch
-git rebase upstream/staging
-# Review and fixup possible conflicts
-git status
-# Force push your changes
-git push origin feature --force-with-lease
-```
-
-## Backporting changes
-
-Follow these steps to backport a change into a release branch in compliance with the [commit policy](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#submitting-changes-stable-release-branches).
-
-You can add a label such as `backport release-22.11` to a PR, so that merging it will
-automatically create a backport (via [a GitHub Action](.github/workflows/backport.yml)).
-This also works for PR's that have already been merged, and might take a couple of minutes to trigger.
-
-You can also create the backport manually:
-
-1. Take note of the commits in which the change was introduced into `master` branch.
-2. Check out the target _release branch_, e.g. `release-22.11`. Do not use a _channel branch_ like `nixos-22.11` or `nixpkgs-22.11-darwin`.
-3. Create a branch for your change, e.g. `git checkout -b backport`.
-4. When the reason to backport is not obvious from the original commit message, use `git cherry-pick -xe <original commit>` and add a reason. Otherwise use `git cherry-pick -x <original commit>`. That's fine for minor version updates that only include security and bug fixes, commits that fixes an otherwise broken package or similar. Please also ensure the commits exists on the master branch; in the case of squashed or rebased merges, the commit hash will change and the new commits can be found in the merge message at the bottom of the master pull request.
-5. Push to GitHub and open a backport pull request. Make sure to select the release branch (e.g. `release-22.11`) as the target branch of the pull request, and link to the pull request in which the original change was committed to `master`. The pull request title should be the commit title with the release version as prefix, e.g. `[22.11]`.
-6. When the backport pull request is merged and you have the necessary privileges you can also replace the label `9.needs: port to stable` with `8.has: port to stable` on the original pull request. This way maintainers can keep track of missing backports easier.
-
-## Criteria for Backporting changes
-
-Anything that does not cause user or downstream dependency regressions can be backported. This includes:
-- New Packages / Modules
-- Security / Patch updates
-- Version updates which include new functionality (but no breaking changes)
-- Services which require a client to be up-to-date regardless. (E.g. `spotify`, `steam`, or `discord`)
-- Security critical applications (E.g. `firefox`)
-
-## Generating 23.05 Release Notes
-<!--
-note: title unchanged even though we don't need regeneration because extant
-PRs will link here. definitely change the title for 23.11 though.
--->
-
-Documentation in nixpkgs is transitioning to a markdown-centric workflow. In the past release notes required a translation step to convert from markdown to a compatible docbook document, but this is no longer necessary.
-
-Steps for updating 23.05 Release notes:
-
-1. Edit `nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2305.section.md` with the desired changes
-2. Commit changes to `rl-2305.section.md`.

-# Fetchers {#chap-pkgs-fetchers}
-
-Building software with Nix often requires downloading source code and other files from the internet.
-`nixpkgs` provides *fetchers* for different protocols and services. Fetchers are functions that simplify downloading files.
-
-## Caveats
-
-Fetchers create [fixed output derivations](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#fixed-output-drvs) from downloaded files.
-Nix can reuse the downloaded files via the hash of the resulting derivation.
-
-The fact that the hash belongs to the Nix derivation output and not the file itself can lead to confusion.
-For example, consider the following fetcher:
-
-```nix
-fetchurl {
-  url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.0.tar.gz";
-  hash = "sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=";
-};
-```
-
-A common mistake is to update a fetcher’s URL, or a version parameter, without updating the hash.
-
-```nix
-fetchurl {
-  url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.1.tar.gz";
-  hash = "sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=";
-};
-```
-
-**This will reuse the old contents**.
-Remember to invalidate the hash argument, in this case by setting the `hash` attribute to an empty string.
-
-```nix
-fetchurl {
-  url = "http://www.example.org/hello-1.1.tar.gz";
-  hash = "";
-};
-```
-
-Use the resulting error message to determine the correct hash.
-
-```
-error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/path/to/my.drv':
-         specified: sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
-            got:    sha256-lTeyxzJNQeMdu1IVdovNMtgn77jRIhSybLdMbTkf2Ww=
-```
-
-A similar problem arises while testing changes to a fetcher's implementation. If the output of the derivation already exists in the Nix store, test failures can go undetected. The [`invalidateFetcherByDrvHash`](#tester-invalidateFetcherByDrvHash) function helps prevent reusing cached derivations.
-
-## `fetchurl` and `fetchzip` {#fetchurl}
-
-Two basic fetchers are `fetchurl` and `fetchzip`. Both of these have two required arguments, a URL and a hash. The hash is typically `hash`, although many more hash algorithms are supported. Nixpkgs contributors are currently recommended to use `hash`. This hash will be used by Nix to identify your source. A typical usage of `fetchurl` is provided below.
-
-```nix
-{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
-
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "hello";
-  src = fetchurl {
-    url = "http://www.example.org/hello.tar.gz";
-    hash = "sha256-BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB=";
-  };
-}
-```
-
-The main difference between `fetchurl` and `fetchzip` is in how they store the contents. `fetchurl` will store the unaltered contents of the URL within the Nix store. `fetchzip` on the other hand, will decompress the archive for you, making files and directories directly accessible in the future. `fetchzip` can only be used with archives. Despite the name, `fetchzip` is not limited to .zip files and can also be used with any tarball.
-
-## `fetchpatch` {#fetchpatch}
-
-`fetchpatch` works very similarly to `fetchurl` with the same arguments expected. It expects patch files as a source and performs normalization on them before computing the checksum. For example, it will remove comments or other unstable parts that are sometimes added by version control systems and can change over time.
-
-- `relative`: Similar to using `git-diff`'s `--relative` flag, only keep changes inside the specified directory, making paths relative to it.
-- `stripLen`: Remove the first `stripLen` components of pathnames in the patch.
-- `extraPrefix`: Prefix pathnames by this string.
-- `excludes`: Exclude files matching these patterns (applies after the above arguments).
-- `includes`: Include only files matching these patterns (applies after the above arguments).
-- `revert`: Revert the patch.
-
-Note that because the checksum is computed after applying these effects, using or modifying these arguments will have no effect unless the `hash` argument is changed as well.
-
-
-Most other fetchers return a directory rather than a single file.
-
-## `fetchsvn` {#fetchsvn}
-
-Used with Subversion. Expects `url` to a Subversion directory, `rev`, and `hash`.
-
-## `fetchgit` {#fetchgit}
-
-Used with Git. Expects `url` to a Git repo, `rev`, and `hash`. `rev` in this case can be full the git commit id (SHA1 hash) or a tag name like `refs/tags/v1.0`.
-
-Additionally, the following optional arguments can be given: `fetchSubmodules = true` makes `fetchgit` also fetch the submodules of a repository. If `deepClone` is set to true, the entire repository is cloned as opposing to just creating a shallow clone. `deepClone = true` also implies `leaveDotGit = true` which means that the `.git` directory of the clone won't be removed after checkout.
-
-If only parts of the repository are needed, `sparseCheckout` can be used. This will prevent git from fetching unnecessary blobs from server, see [git sparse-checkout](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout) for more information:
-
-```nix
-{ stdenv, fetchgit }:
-
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "hello";
-  src = fetchgit {
-    url = "https://...";
-    sparseCheckout = [
-      "directory/to/be/included"
-      "another/directory"
-    ];
-    hash = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=";
-  };
-}
-```
-
-## `fetchfossil` {#fetchfossil}
-
-Used with Fossil. Expects `url` to a Fossil archive, `rev`, and `hash`.
-
-## `fetchcvs` {#fetchcvs}
-
-Used with CVS. Expects `cvsRoot`, `tag`, and `hash`.
-
-## `fetchhg` {#fetchhg}
-
-Used with Mercurial. Expects `url`, `rev`, and `hash`.
-
-A number of fetcher functions wrap part of `fetchurl` and `fetchzip`. They are mainly convenience functions intended for commonly used destinations of source code in Nixpkgs. These wrapper fetchers are listed below.
-
-## `fetchFromGitea` {#fetchfromgitea}
-
-`fetchFromGitea` expects five arguments. `domain` is the gitea server name. `owner` is a string corresponding to the Gitea user or organization that controls this repository. `repo` corresponds to the name of the software repository. These are located at the top of every Gitea HTML page as `owner`/`repo`. `rev` corresponds to the Git commit hash or tag (e.g `v1.0`) that will be downloaded from Git. Finally, `hash` corresponds to the hash of the extracted directory. Again, other hash algorithms are also available but `hash` is currently preferred.
-
-## `fetchFromGitHub` {#fetchfromgithub}
-
-`fetchFromGitHub` expects four arguments. `owner` is a string corresponding to the GitHub user or organization that controls this repository. `repo` corresponds to the name of the software repository. These are located at the top of every GitHub HTML page as `owner`/`repo`. `rev` corresponds to the Git commit hash or tag (e.g `v1.0`) that will be downloaded from Git. Finally, `hash` corresponds to the hash of the extracted directory. Again, other hash algorithms are also available, but `hash` is currently preferred.
-
-`fetchFromGitHub` uses `fetchzip` to download the source archive generated by GitHub for the specified revision. If `leaveDotGit`, `deepClone` or `fetchSubmodules` are set to `true`, `fetchFromGitHub` will use `fetchgit` instead. Refer to its section for documentation of these options.
-
-## `fetchFromGitLab` {#fetchfromgitlab}
-
-This is used with GitLab repositories. The arguments expected are very similar to `fetchFromGitHub` above.
-
-## `fetchFromGitiles` {#fetchfromgitiles}
-
-This is used with Gitiles repositories. The arguments expected are similar to `fetchgit`.
-
-## `fetchFromBitbucket` {#fetchfrombitbucket}
-
-This is used with BitBucket repositories. The arguments expected are very similar to fetchFromGitHub above.
-
-## `fetchFromSavannah` {#fetchfromsavannah}
-
-This is used with Savannah repositories. The arguments expected are very similar to `fetchFromGitHub` above.
-
-## `fetchFromRepoOrCz` {#fetchfromrepoorcz}
-
-This is used with repo.or.cz repositories. The arguments expected are very similar to `fetchFromGitHub` above.
-
-## `fetchFromSourcehut` {#fetchfromsourcehut}
-
-This is used with sourcehut repositories. Similar to `fetchFromGitHub` above,
-it expects `owner`, `repo`, `rev` and `hash`, but don't forget the tilde (~)
-in front of the username! Expected arguments also include `vc` ("git" (default)
-or "hg"), `domain` and `fetchSubmodules`.
-
-If `fetchSubmodules` is `true`, `fetchFromSourcehut` uses `fetchgit`
-or `fetchhg` with `fetchSubmodules` or `fetchSubrepos` set to `true`,
-respectively. Otherwise, the fetcher uses `fetchzip`.
-
-## `requireFile` {#requirefile}
-
-`requireFile` allows requesting files that cannot be fetched automatically, but whose content is known.
-This is a useful last-resort workaround for license restrictions that prohibit redistribution, or for downloads that are only accessible after authenticating interactively in a browser.
-If the requested file is present in the Nix store, the resulting derivation will not be built, because its expected output is already available.
-Otherwise, the builder will run, but fail with a message explaining to the user how to provide the file. The following code, for example:
-
-```
-requireFile {
-  name = "jdk-${version}_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz";
-  url = "https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html";
-  sha256 = "94bd34f85ee38d3ef59e5289ec7450b9443b924c55625661fffe66b03f2c8de2";
-}
-```
-results in this error message:
-```
-***
-Unfortunately, we cannot download file jdk-11.0.10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz automatically.
-Please go to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html to download it yourself, and add it to the Nix store
-using either
-  nix-store --add-fixed sha256 jdk-11.0.10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
-or
-  nix-prefetch-url --type sha256 file:///path/to/jdk-11.0.10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

+  The main difference between <function>fetchurl</function> and <function>fetchzip</function> is in how they store the contents. <function>fetchurl</function> will store the unaltered contents of the URL within the Nix store. <function>fetchzip</function> on the other hand will decompress the archive for you, making files and directories directly accessible in the future. <function>fetchzip</function> can only be used with archives. Despite the name, <function>fetchzip</function> is not limited to .zip files and can also be used with any tarball.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  <function>fetchpatch</function> works very similarly to <function>fetchurl</function> with the same arguments expected. It expects patch files as a source and and performs normalization on them before computing the checksum. For example it will remove comments or other unstable parts that are sometimes added by version control systems and can change over time.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  Other fetcher functions allow you to add source code directly from a VCS such as subversion or git. These are mostly straightforward names based on the name of the command used with the VCS system. Because they give you a working repository, they act most like <function>fetchzip</function>.

-- `extraPkgs` allows you to pass a function to include additional packages inside the FHS environment your AppImage is going to run in. There are a few ways to learn which dependencies an application needs:
-  - Looking through the extracted AppImage files, reading its scripts and running `patchelf` and `ldd` on its executables. This can also be done in `appimage-run`, by setting `APPIMAGE_DEBUG_EXEC=bash`.
-  - Running `strace -vfefile` on the wrapped executable, looking for libraries that can't be found.

-# pkgs.mkBinaryCache {#sec-pkgs-binary-cache}
-
-`pkgs.mkBinaryCache` is a function for creating Nix flat-file binary caches. Such a cache exists as a directory on disk, and can be used as a Nix substituter by passing `--substituter file:///path/to/cache` to Nix commands.
-
-Nix packages are most commonly shared between machines using [HTTP, SSH, or S3](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/package-management/sharing-packages.html), but a flat-file binary cache can still be useful in some situations. For example, you can copy it directly to another machine, or make it available on a network file system. It can also be a convenient way to make some Nix packages available inside a container via bind-mounting.
-
-Note that this function is meant for advanced use-cases. The more idiomatic way to work with flat-file binary caches is via the [nix-copy-closure](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-copy-closure.html) command. You may also want to consider [dockerTools](#sec-pkgs-dockerTools) for your containerization needs.
-
-## Example
-
-The following derivation will construct a flat-file binary cache containing the closure of `hello`.
-
-```nix
-mkBinaryCache {
-  rootPaths = [hello];
-}
-```
-
-- `rootPaths` specifies a list of root derivations. The transitive closure of these derivations' outputs will be copied into the cache.
-
-Here's an example of building and using the cache.
-
-Build the cache on one machine, `host1`:
-
-```shellSession
-nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; mkBinaryCache { rootPaths = [hello]; }'
-```
-
-```shellSession
-/nix/store/cc0562q828rnjqjyfj23d5q162gb424g-binary-cache
-```
-
-Copy the resulting directory to the other machine, `host2`:
-
-```shellSession
-scp result host2:/tmp/hello-cache
-```
-
-Substitute the derivation using the flat-file binary cache on the other machine, `host2`:
-```shellSession
-nix-build -A hello '<nixpkgs>' \
-  --option require-sigs false \
-  --option trusted-substituters file:///tmp/hello-cache \
-  --option substituters file:///tmp/hello-cache
-```

-# pkgs.dockerTools {#sec-pkgs-dockerTools}
-
-`pkgs.dockerTools` is a set of functions for creating and manipulating Docker images according to the [Docker Image Specification v1.2.0](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.2.md#docker-image-specification-v120). Docker itself is not used to perform any of the operations done by these functions.
-
-## buildImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildImage}
-
-This function is analogous to the `docker build` command, in that it can be used to build a Docker-compatible repository tarball containing a single image with one or multiple layers. As such, the result is suitable for being loaded in Docker with `docker load`.
-
-The parameters of `buildImage` with relative example values are described below:
-
-[]{#ex-dockerTools-buildImage}
-[]{#ex-dockerTools-buildImage-runAsRoot}
-
-```nix
-buildImage {
-  name = "redis";
-  tag = "latest";
-
-  fromImage = someBaseImage;
-  fromImageName = null;
-  fromImageTag = "latest";
-
-  copyToRoot = pkgs.buildEnv {
-    name = "image-root";
-    paths = [ pkgs.redis ];
-    pathsToLink = [ "/bin" ];
-  };
-
-  runAsRoot = ''
-    #!${pkgs.runtimeShell}
-    mkdir -p /data
-  '';
-
-  config = {
-    Cmd = [ "/bin/redis-server" ];
-    WorkingDir = "/data";
-    Volumes = { "/data" = { }; };
-  };
-
-  diskSize = 1024;
-  buildVMMemorySize = 512;
-}
-```
-
-The above example will build a Docker image `redis/latest` from the given base image. Loading and running this image in Docker results in `redis-server` being started automatically.
-
-- `name` specifies the name of the resulting image. This is the only required argument for `buildImage`.
-
-- `tag` specifies the tag of the resulting image. By default it's `null`, which indicates that the nix output hash will be used as tag.
-
-- `fromImage` is the repository tarball containing the base image. It must be a valid Docker image, such as exported by `docker save`. By default it's `null`, which can be seen as equivalent to `FROM scratch` of a `Dockerfile`.
-
-- `fromImageName` can be used to further specify the base image within the repository, in case it contains multiple images. By default it's `null`, in which case `buildImage` will peek the first image available in the repository.
-
-- `fromImageTag` can be used to further specify the tag of the base image within the repository, in case an image contains multiple tags. By default it's `null`, in which case `buildImage` will peek the first tag available for the base image.
-
-- `copyToRoot` is a derivation that will be copied in the new layer of the resulting image. This can be similarly seen as `ADD contents/ /` in a `Dockerfile`. By default it's `null`.
-
-- `runAsRoot` is a bash script that will run as root in an environment that overlays the existing layers of the base image with the new resulting layer, including the previously copied `contents` derivation. This can be similarly seen as `RUN ...` in a `Dockerfile`.
-
-> **_NOTE:_** Using this parameter requires the `kvm` device to be available.
-
-- `config` is used to specify the configuration of the containers that will be started off the built image in Docker. The available options are listed in the [Docker Image Specification v1.2.0](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.2.md#image-json-field-descriptions).
-
-- `architecture` is _optional_ and used to specify the image architecture, this is useful for multi-architecture builds that don't need cross compiling. If not specified it will default to `hostPlatform`.
-
-- `diskSize` is used to specify the disk size of the VM used to build the image in megabytes. By default it's 1024 MiB.
-
-- `buildVMMemorySize` is used to specify the memory size of the VM to build the image in megabytes. By default it's 512 MiB.
-
-After the new layer has been created, its closure (to which `contents`, `config` and `runAsRoot` contribute) will be copied in the layer itself. Only new dependencies that are not already in the existing layers will be copied.
-
-At the end of the process, only one new single layer will be produced and added to the resulting image.
-
-The resulting repository will only list the single image `image/tag`. In the case of [the `buildImage` example](#ex-dockerTools-buildImage), it would be `redis/latest`.
-
-It is possible to inspect the arguments with which an image was built using its `buildArgs` attribute.
-
-> **_NOTE:_** If you see errors similar to `getProtocolByName: does not exist (no such protocol name: tcp)` you may need to add `pkgs.iana-etc` to `contents`.
-
-> **_NOTE:_** If you see errors similar to `Error_Protocol ("certificate has unknown CA",True,UnknownCa)` you may need to add `pkgs.cacert` to `contents`.
-
-By default `buildImage` will use a static date of one second past the UNIX Epoch. This allows `buildImage` to produce binary reproducible images. When listing images with `docker images`, the newly created images will be listed like this:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ docker images
-REPOSITORY   TAG      IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE
-hello        latest   08c791c7846e   48 years ago   25.2MB
-```
-
-You can break binary reproducibility but have a sorted, meaningful `CREATED` column by setting `created` to `now`.
-
-```nix
-pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage {
-  name = "hello";
-  tag = "latest";
-  created = "now";
-  copyToRoot = pkgs.buildEnv {
-    name = "image-root";
-    paths = [ pkgs.hello ];
-    pathsToLink = [ "/bin" ];
-  };
-
-  config.Cmd = [ "/bin/hello" ];
-}
-```
-
-Now the Docker CLI will display a reasonable date and sort the images as expected:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ docker images
-REPOSITORY   TAG      IMAGE ID       CREATED              SIZE
-hello        latest   de2bf4786de6   About a minute ago   25.2MB
-```
-
-However, the produced images will not be binary reproducible.
-
-## buildLayeredImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildLayeredImage}
-
-Create a Docker image with many of the store paths being on their own layer to improve sharing between images. The image is realized into the Nix store as a gzipped tarball. Depending on the intended usage, many users might prefer to use `streamLayeredImage` instead, which this function uses internally.
-
-`name`
-
-: The name of the resulting image.
-
-`tag` _optional_
-
-: Tag of the generated image.
-
-    *Default:* the output path's hash
-
-`fromImage` _optional_
-
-: The repository tarball containing the base image. It must be a valid Docker image, such as one exported by `docker save`.
-
-    *Default:* `null`, which can be seen as equivalent to `FROM scratch` of a `Dockerfile`.
-
-`contents` _optional_
-
-: Top-level paths in the container. Either a single derivation, or a list of derivations.
-
-    *Default:* `[]`
-
-`config` _optional_
-
-`architecture` is _optional_ and used to specify the image architecture, this is useful for multi-architecture builds that don't need cross compiling. If not specified it will default to `hostPlatform`.
-
-: Run-time configuration of the container. A full list of the options available is in the [Docker Image Specification v1.2.0](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.2.md#image-json-field-descriptions).
-
-    *Default:* `{}`
-
-`created` _optional_
-
-: Date and time the layers were created. Follows the same `now` exception supported by `buildImage`.
-
-    *Default:* `1970-01-01T00:00:01Z`
-
-`maxLayers` _optional_
-
-: Maximum number of layers to create.
-
-    *Default:* `100`
-
-    *Maximum:* `125`
-
-`extraCommands` _optional_
-
-: Shell commands to run while building the final layer, without access to most of the layer contents. Changes to this layer are "on top" of all the other layers, so can create additional directories and files.
-
-`fakeRootCommands` _optional_
-
-: Shell commands to run while creating the archive for the final layer in a fakeroot environment. Unlike `extraCommands`, you can run `chown` to change the owners of the files in the archive, changing fakeroot's state instead of the real filesystem. The latter would require privileges that the build user does not have. Static binaries do not interact with the fakeroot environment. By default all files in the archive will be owned by root.
-
-`enableFakechroot` _optional_
-
-: Whether to run in `fakeRootCommands` in `fakechroot`, making programs behave as though `/` is the root of the image being created, while files in the Nix store are available as usual. This allows scripts that perform installation in `/` to work as expected. Considering that `fakechroot` is implemented via the same mechanism as `fakeroot`, the same caveats apply.
-
-    *Default:* `false`
-
-### Behavior of `contents` in the final image {#dockerTools-buildLayeredImage-arg-contents}
-
-Each path directly listed in `contents` will have a symlink in the root of the image.
-
-For example:
-
-```nix
-pkgs.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage {
-  name = "hello";
-  contents = [ pkgs.hello ];
-}
-```
-
-will create symlinks for all the paths in the `hello` package:
-
-```ShellSession
-/bin/hello -> /nix/store/h1zb1padqbbb7jicsvkmrym3r6snphxg-hello-2.10/bin/hello
-/share/info/hello.info -> /nix/store/h1zb1padqbbb7jicsvkmrym3r6snphxg-hello-2.10/share/info/hello.info
-/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo -> /nix/store/h1zb1padqbbb7jicsvkmrym3r6snphxg-hello-2.10/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo
-```
-
-### Automatic inclusion of `config` references {#dockerTools-buildLayeredImage-arg-config}
-
-The closure of `config` is automatically included in the closure of the final image.
-
-This allows you to make very simple Docker images with very little code. This container will start up and run `hello`:
-
-```nix
-pkgs.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage {
-  name = "hello";
-  config.Cmd = [ "${pkgs.hello}/bin/hello" ];
-}
-```
-
-### Adjusting `maxLayers` {#dockerTools-buildLayeredImage-arg-maxLayers}
-
-Increasing the `maxLayers` increases the number of layers which have a chance to be shared between different images.
-
-Modern Docker installations support up to 128 layers, but older versions support as few as 42.
-
-If the produced image will not be extended by other Docker builds, it is safe to set `maxLayers` to `128`. However, it will be impossible to extend the image further.
-
-The first (`maxLayers-2`) most "popular" paths will have their own individual layers, then layer \#`maxLayers-1` will contain all the remaining "unpopular" paths, and finally layer \#`maxLayers` will contain the Image configuration.
-
-Docker's Layers are not inherently ordered, they are content-addressable and are not explicitly layered until they are composed in to an Image.
-
-## streamLayeredImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-streamLayeredImage}
-
-Builds a script which, when run, will stream an uncompressed tarball of a Docker image to stdout. The arguments to this function are as for `buildLayeredImage`. This method of constructing an image does not realize the image into the Nix store, so it saves on IO and disk/cache space, particularly with large images.
-
-The image produced by running the output script can be piped directly into `docker load`, to load it into the local docker daemon:
-
-```ShellSession
-$(nix-build) | docker load
-```
-
-Alternatively, the image be piped via `gzip` into `skopeo`, e.g., to copy it into a registry:
-
-```ShellSession
-$(nix-build) | gzip --fast | skopeo copy docker-archive:/dev/stdin docker://some_docker_registry/myimage:tag
-```
-
-## pullImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-fetchFromRegistry}
-
-This function is analogous to the `docker pull` command, in that it can be used to pull a Docker image from a Docker registry. By default [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) is used to pull images.
-
-Its parameters are described in the example below:
-
-```nix
-pullImage {
-  imageName = "nixos/nix";
-  imageDigest =
-    "sha256:473a2b527958665554806aea24d0131bacec46d23af09fef4598eeab331850fa";
-  finalImageName = "nix";
-  finalImageTag = "2.11.1";
-  sha256 = "sha256-qvhj+Hlmviz+KEBVmsyPIzTB3QlVAFzwAY1zDPIBGxc=";
-  os = "linux";
-  arch = "x86_64";
-}
-```
-
-- `imageName` specifies the name of the image to be downloaded, which can also include the registry namespace (e.g. `nixos`). This argument is required.
-
-- `imageDigest` specifies the digest of the image to be downloaded. This argument is required.
-
-- `finalImageName`, if specified, this is the name of the image to be created. Note it is never used to fetch the image since we prefer to rely on the immutable digest ID. By default it's equal to `imageName`.
-
-- `finalImageTag`, if specified, this is the tag of the image to be created. Note it is never used to fetch the image since we prefer to rely on the immutable digest ID. By default it's `latest`.
-
-- `sha256` is the checksum of the whole fetched image. This argument is required.
-
-- `os`, if specified, is the operating system of the fetched image. By default it's `linux`.
-
-- `arch`, if specified, is the cpu architecture of the fetched image. By default it's `x86_64`.
-
-`nix-prefetch-docker` command can be used to get required image parameters:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix run nixpkgs.nix-prefetch-docker -c nix-prefetch-docker --image-name mysql --image-tag 5
-```
-
-Since a given `imageName` may transparently refer to a manifest list of images which support multiple architectures and/or operating systems, you can supply the `--os` and `--arch` arguments to specify exactly which image you want. By default it will match the OS and architecture of the host the command is run on.
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix-prefetch-docker --image-name mysql --image-tag 5 --arch x86_64 --os linux
-```
-
-Desired image name and tag can be set using `--final-image-name` and `--final-image-tag` arguments:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix-prefetch-docker --image-name mysql --image-tag 5 --final-image-name eu.gcr.io/my-project/mysql --final-image-tag prod
-```
-
-## exportImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-exportImage}
-
-This function is analogous to the `docker export` command, in that it can be used to flatten a Docker image that contains multiple layers. It is in fact the result of the merge of all the layers of the image. As such, the result is suitable for being imported in Docker with `docker import`.
-
-> **_NOTE:_** Using this function requires the `kvm` device to be available.
-
-The parameters of `exportImage` are the following:
-
-```nix
-exportImage {
-  fromImage = someLayeredImage;
-  fromImageName = null;
-  fromImageTag = null;
-
-  name = someLayeredImage.name;
-}
-```
-
-The parameters relative to the base image have the same synopsis as described in [buildImage](#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildImage), except that `fromImage` is the only required argument in this case.
-
-The `name` argument is the name of the derivation output, which defaults to `fromImage.name`.
-
-## Environment Helpers {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-helpers}
-
-Some packages expect certain files to be available globally.
-When building an image from scratch (i.e. without `fromImage`), these files are missing.
-`pkgs.dockerTools` provides some helpers to set up an environment with the necessary files.
-You can include them in `copyToRoot` like this:
-
-```nix
-buildImage {
-  name = "environment-example";
-  copyToRoot = with pkgs.dockerTools; [
-    usrBinEnv
-    binSh
-    caCertificates
-    fakeNss
-  ];
-}
-```
-
-### usrBinEnv {#sssec-pkgs-dockerTools-helpers-usrBinEnv}
-
-This provides the `env` utility at `/usr/bin/env`.
-
-### binSh {#sssec-pkgs-dockerTools-helpers-binSh}
-
-This provides `bashInteractive` at `/bin/sh`.
-
-### caCertificates {#sssec-pkgs-dockerTools-helpers-caCertificates}
-
-This sets up `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`.
-
-### fakeNss {#sssec-pkgs-dockerTools-helpers-fakeNss}
-
-Provides `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` that contain root and nobody.
-Useful when packaging binaries that insist on using nss to look up
-username/groups (like nginx).
-
-### shadowSetup {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-shadowSetup}
-
-This constant string is a helper for setting up the base files for managing users and groups, only if such files don't exist already. It is suitable for being used in a [`buildImage` `runAsRoot`](#ex-dockerTools-buildImage-runAsRoot) script for cases like in the example below:
-
-```nix
-buildImage {
-  name = "shadow-basic";
-
-  runAsRoot = ''
-    #!${pkgs.runtimeShell}
-    ${pkgs.dockerTools.shadowSetup}
-    groupadd -r redis
-    useradd -r -g redis redis
-    mkdir /data
-    chown redis:redis /data
-  '';
-}
-```
-
-Creating base files like `/etc/passwd` or `/etc/login.defs` is necessary for shadow-utils to manipulate users and groups.
-
-## fakeNss {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-fakeNss}
-
-If your primary goal is providing a basic skeleton for user lookups to work,
-and/or a lesser privileged user, adding `pkgs.fakeNss` to
-the container image root might be the better choice than a custom script
-running `useradd` and friends.
-
-It provides a `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group`, containing `root` and `nobody`
-users and groups.
-
-It also provides a `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, configuring NSS host resolution to
-first check `/etc/hosts`, before checking DNS, as the default in the absence of
-a config file (`dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files`) is quite unexpected.
-
-You can pair it with `binSh`, which provides `bin/sh` as a symlink
-to `bashInteractive` (as `/bin/sh` is configured as a shell).
-
-```nix
-buildImage {
-  name = "shadow-basic";
-
-  copyToRoot = pkgs.buildEnv {
-    name = "image-root";
-    paths = [ binSh pkgs.fakeNss ];
-    pathsToLink = [ "/bin" "/etc" "/var" ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-## buildNixShellImage {#ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildNixShellImage}
-
-Create a Docker image that sets up an environment similar to that of running `nix-shell` on a derivation.
-When run in Docker, this environment somewhat resembles the Nix sandbox typically used by `nix-build`, with a major difference being that access to the internet is allowed.
-It additionally also behaves like an interactive `nix-shell`, running things like `shellHook` and setting an interactive prompt.
-If the derivation is fully buildable (i.e. `nix-build` can be used on it), running `buildDerivation` inside such a Docker image will build the derivation, with all its outputs being available in the correct `/nix/store` paths, pointed to by the respective environment variables like `$out`, etc.
-
-::: {.warning}
-The behavior doesn't match `nix-shell` or `nix-build` exactly and this function is known not to work correctly for e.g. fixed-output derivations, content-addressed derivations, impure derivations and other special types of derivations.
-:::
-
-### Arguments
-
-`drv`
-
-: The derivation on which to base the Docker image.
-
-    Adding packages to the Docker image is possible by e.g. extending the list of `nativeBuildInputs` of this derivation like
-
-    ```nix
-    buildNixShellImage {
-      drv = someDrv.overrideAttrs (old: {
-        nativeBuildInputs = old.nativeBuildInputs or [] ++ [
-          somethingExtra
-        ];
-      });
-      # ...
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Similarly, you can extend the image initialization script by extending `shellHook`
-
-`name` _optional_
-
-: The name of the resulting image.
-
-    *Default:* `drv.name + "-env"`
-
-`tag` _optional_
-
-: Tag of the generated image.
-
-    *Default:* the resulting image derivation output path's hash
-
-`uid`/`gid` _optional_
-
-: The user/group ID to run the container as. This is like a `nixbld` build user.
-
-    *Default:* 1000/1000
-
-`homeDirectory` _optional_
-
-: The home directory of the user the container is running as
-
-    *Default:* `/build`
-
-`shell` _optional_
-
-: The path to the `bash` binary to use as the shell. This shell is started when running the image.
-
-    *Default:* `pkgs.bashInteractive + "/bin/bash"`
-
-`command` _optional_
-
-: Run this command in the environment of the derivation, in an interactive shell. See the `--command` option in the [`nix-shell` documentation](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-shell.html?highlight=nix-shell#options).
-
-    *Default:* (none)
-
-`run` _optional_
-
-: Same as `command`, but runs the command in a non-interactive shell instead. See the `--run` option in the [`nix-shell` documentation](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-shell.html?highlight=nix-shell#options).
-
-    *Default:* (none)
-
-### Example
-
-The following shows how to build the `pkgs.hello` package inside a Docker container built with `buildNixShellImage`.
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-dockerTools.buildNixShellImage {
-  drv = hello;
-}
-```
-
-Build the derivation:
-
-```console
-nix-build hello.nix
-```
-
-    these 8 derivations will be built:
-      /nix/store/xmw3a5ln29rdalavcxk1w3m4zb2n7kk6-nix-shell-rc.drv
-    ...
-    Creating layer 56 from paths: ['/nix/store/crpnj8ssz0va2q0p5ibv9i6k6n52gcya-stdenv-linux']
-    Creating layer 57 with customisation...
-    Adding manifests...
-    Done.
-    /nix/store/cpyn1lc897ghx0rhr2xy49jvyn52bazv-hello-2.12-env.tar.gz
-
-Load the image:
-
-```console
-docker load -i result
-```
-
-    0d9f4c4cd109: Loading layer [==================================================>]   2.56MB/2.56MB
-    ...
-    ab1d897c0697: Loading layer [==================================================>]  10.24kB/10.24kB
-    Loaded image: hello-2.12-env:pgj9h98nal555415faa43vsydg161bdz
-
-Run the container:
-
-```console
-docker run -it hello-2.12-env:pgj9h98nal555415faa43vsydg161bdz
-```
-
-    [nix-shell:/build]$
-
-In the running container, run the build:
-
-```console
-buildDerivation
-```
-
-    unpacking sources
-    unpacking source archive /nix/store/8nqv6kshb3vs5q5bs2k600xpj5bkavkc-hello-2.12.tar.gz
-    ...
-    patching script interpreter paths in /nix/store/z5wwy5nagzy15gag42vv61c2agdpz2f2-hello-2.12
-    checking for references to /build/ in /nix/store/z5wwy5nagzy15gag42vv61c2agdpz2f2-hello-2.12...
-
-Check the build result:
-
-```console
-$out/bin/hello

-# `<nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix>` {#sec-make-disk-image}
-
-`<nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix>` is a function to create _disk images_ in multiple formats: raw, QCOW2 (QEMU), QCOW2-Compressed (compressed version), VDI (VirtualBox), VPC (VirtualPC).
-
-This function can create images in two ways:
-
-- using `cptofs` without any virtual machine to create a Nix store disk image,
-- using a virtual machine to create a full NixOS installation.
-
-When testing early-boot or lifecycle parts of NixOS such as a bootloader or multiple generations, it is necessary to opt for a full NixOS system installation.
-Whereas for many web servers, applications, it is possible to work with a Nix store only disk image and is faster to build.
-
-NixOS tests also use this function when preparing the VM. The `cptofs` method is used when `virtualisation.useBootLoader` is false (the default). Otherwise the second method is used.
-
-## Features
-
-For reference, read the function signature source code for documentation on arguments: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix>.
-Features are separated in various sections depending on if you opt for a Nix-store only image or a full NixOS image.
-
-### Common
-
-- arbitrary NixOS configuration
-- automatic or bound disk size: `diskSize` parameter, `additionalSpace` can be set when `diskSize` is `auto` to add a constant of disk space
-- multiple partition table layouts: EFI, legacy, legacy + GPT, hybrid, none through `partitionTableType` parameter
-- OVMF or EFI firmwares and variables templates can be customized
-- root filesystem `fsType` can be customized to whatever `mkfs.${fsType}` exist during operations
-- root filesystem label can be customized, defaults to `nix-store` if it's a Nix store image, otherwise `nixpkgs/nixos`
-- arbitrary code can be executed after disk image was produced with `postVM`
-- the current nixpkgs can be realized as a channel in the disk image, which will change the hash of the image when the sources are updated
-- additional store paths can be provided through `additionalPaths`
-
-### Full NixOS image
-
-- arbitrary contents with permissions can be placed in the target filesystem using `contents`
-- a `/etc/nixpkgs/nixos/configuration.nix` can be provided through `configFile`
-- bootloaders are supported
-- EFI variables can be mutated during image production and the result is exposed in `$out`
-- boot partition size when partition table is `efi` or `hybrid`
-
-### On bit-to-bit reproducibility
-
-Images are **NOT** deterministic, please do not hesitate to try to fix this, source of determinisms are (not exhaustive) :
-
-- bootloader installation have timestamps
-- SQLite Nix store database contain registration times
-- `/etc/shadow` is in a non-deterministic order
-
-A `deterministic` flag is available for best efforts determinism.
-
-## Usage
-
-To produce a Nix-store only image:
-```nix
-let
-  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
-  lib = pkgs.lib;
-  make-disk-image = import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix>;
-in
-  make-disk-image {
-    inherit pkgs lib;
-    config = {};
-    additionalPaths = [ ];
-    format = "qcow2";
-    onlyNixStore = true;
-    partitionTableType = "none";
-    installBootLoader = false;
-    touchEFIVars = false;
-    diskSize = "auto";
-    additionalSpace = "0M"; # Defaults to 512M.
-    copyChannel = false;
-  }
-```
-
-Some arguments can be left out, they are shown explicitly for the sake of the example.
-
-Building this derivation will provide a QCOW2 disk image containing only the Nix store and its registration information.
-
-To produce a NixOS installation image disk with UEFI and bootloader installed:
-```nix
-let
-  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
-  lib = pkgs.lib;
-  make-disk-image = import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix>;
-  evalConfig = import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix>;
-in
-  make-disk-image {
-    inherit pkgs lib;
-    config = evalConfig {
-      modules = [
-        {
-          fileSystems."/" = { device = "/dev/vda"; fsType = "ext4"; autoFormat = true; };
-          boot.grub.device = "/dev/vda";
-        }
-      ];
-    };
-    format = "qcow2";
-    onlyNixStore = false;
-    partitionTableType = "legacy+gpt";
-    installBootLoader = true;
-    touchEFIVars = true;
-    diskSize = "auto";
-    additionalSpace = "0M"; # Defaults to 512M.
-    copyChannel = false;

-# pkgs.ociTools {#sec-pkgs-ociTools}
-
-`pkgs.ociTools` is a set of functions for creating containers according to the [OCI container specification v1.0.0](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec). Beyond that, it makes no assumptions about the container runner you choose to use to run the created container.
-
-## buildContainer {#ssec-pkgs-ociTools-buildContainer}
-
-This function creates a simple OCI container that runs a single command inside of it. An OCI container consists of a `config.json` and a rootfs directory. The nix store of the container will contain all referenced dependencies of the given command.
-
-The parameters of `buildContainer` with an example value are described below:
-
-```nix
-buildContainer {
-  args = [
-    (with pkgs;
-      writeScript "run.sh" ''
-        #!${bash}/bin/bash

-      source = "/var/lib/mydata";
-      options = [ "bind" ];
-    };
-  };
-
-  readonly = false;
-}
-```
-
-- `args` specifies a set of arguments to run inside the container. This is the only required argument for `buildContainer`. All referenced packages inside the derivation will be made available inside the container.
-
-- `mounts` specifies additional mount points chosen by the user. By default only a minimal set of necessary filesystems are mounted into the container (e.g procfs, cgroupfs)
-
-- `readonly` makes the container's rootfs read-only if it is set to true. The default value is false `false`.

-# pkgs.portableService {#sec-pkgs-portableService}
-
-`pkgs.portableService` is a function to create _portable service images_,
-as read-only, immutable, `squashfs` archives.
-
-systemd supports a concept of [Portable Services](https://systemd.io/PORTABLE_SERVICES/).
-Portable Services are a delivery method for system services that uses two specific features of container management:
-
-* Applications are bundled. I.e. multiple services, their binaries and
-  all their dependencies are packaged in an image, and are run directly from it.
-* Stricter default security policies, i.e. sandboxing of applications.
-
-This allows using Nix to build images which can be run on many recent Linux distributions.
-
-The primary tool for interacting with Portable Services is `portablectl`,
-and they are managed by the `systemd-portabled` system service.
-
-::: {.note}
-Portable services are supported starting with systemd 239 (released on 2018-06-22).
-:::
-
-A very simple example of using `portableService` is described below:
-
-[]{#ex-pkgs-portableService}
-
-```nix
-pkgs.portableService {
-  pname = "demo";
-  version = "1.0";
-  units = [ demo-service demo-socket ];
-}
-```
-
-The above example will build an squashfs archive image in `result/$pname_$version.raw`. The image will contain the
-file system structure as required by the portable service specification, and a subset of the Nix store with all the
-dependencies of the two derivations in the `units` list.
-`units` must be a list of derivations, and their names must be prefixed with the service name (`"demo"` in this case).
-Otherwise `systemd-portabled` will ignore them.
-
-::: {.note}
-The `.raw` file extension of the image is required by the portable services specification.
-:::
-
-Some other options available are:
-- `description`, `homepage`
-
-  Are added to the `/etc/os-release` in the image and are shown by the portable services tooling.
-  Default to empty values, not added to os-release.
-- `symlinks`
-
-  A list of attribute sets {object, symlink}. Symlinks will be created  in the root filesystem of the image to
-  objects in the Nix store. Defaults to an empty list.
-- `contents`
-
-  A list of additional derivations to be included in the image Nix store, as-is. Defaults to an empty list.
-- `squashfsTools`
-
-  Defaults to `pkgs.squashfsTools`, allows you to override the package that provides `mksquashfs`.
-- `squash-compression`, `squash-block-size`
-
-  Options to `mksquashfs`. Default to `"xz -Xdict-size 100%"` and `"1M"` respectively.
-
-A typical usage of `symlinks` would be:
-```nix
-  symlinks = [
-    { object = "${pkgs.cacert}/etc/ssl"; symlink = "/etc/ssl"; }
-    { object = "${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash"; symlink = "/bin/sh"; }
-    { object = "${pkgs.php}/bin/php"; symlink = "/usr/bin/php"; }
-  ];
-```
-to create these symlinks for legacy applications that assume them existing globally.
-
-Once the image is created, and deployed on a host in `/var/lib/portables/`, you can attach the image and run the service. As root run:
-```console
-portablectl attach demo_1.0.raw
-systemctl enable --now demo.socket
-systemctl enable --now demo.service
-```
-::: {.note}
-See the [man page](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/portablectl.html) of `portablectl` for more info on its usage.

-
-The Nix expressions related to the Eclipse platform and IDE are in [`pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse).
-
-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:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses --description
-```
-
-Once an Eclipse variant is installed, it can be run using the `eclipse` 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.
-
-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 _Eclipse environment_. This type of environment is created using the function `eclipseWithPlugins` found inside the `nixpkgs.eclipses` attribute set. This function takes as argument `{ eclipse, plugins ? [], jvmArgs ? [] }` where `eclipse` is a one of the Eclipse packages described above, `plugins` is a list of plugin derivations, and `jvmArgs` 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:
-
-```nix
-packageOverrides = pkgs: {
-  myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
-    eclipse = eclipse-platform;
-    jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
-    plugins = [ plugins.color-theme ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-to your Nixpkgs configuration (`~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`) and install it by running `nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA myEclipse` and afterward run Eclipse as usual. It is possible to find out which plugins are available for installation using `eclipseWithPlugins` by running:
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses.plugins --description
-```
-
-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 `buildEclipseUpdateSite` and `buildEclipsePlugin` functions found in the `nixpkgs.eclipses.plugins` attribute set. Use the `buildEclipseUpdateSite` function to install a plugin distributed as an Eclipse update site. This function takes `{ name, src }` as argument, where `src` 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 `buildEclipsePlugin` function can be used to install a plugin that consists of a pair of feature and plugin JARs. This function takes an argument `{ name, srcFeature, srcPlugin }` where `srcFeature` and `srcPlugin` are the feature and plugin JARs, respectively.
-
-Expanding the previous example with two plugins using the above functions, we have:
-
-```nix
-packageOverrides = pkgs: {
-  myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
-    eclipse = eclipse-platform;
-    jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
-    plugins = [
-      plugins.color-theme

+  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>
+<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -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

+  to your Nixpkgs configuration (<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>) and install it by running <command>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -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

+ <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.

-The Emacs package comes with some extra helpers to make it easier to configure. `emacs.pkgs.withPackages` 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 `company` `counsel`, `flycheck`, `ivy`, `magit`, `projectile`, and `use-package` you could use this as a `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` override:
-
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
-    myEmacs = emacs.pkgs.withPackages (epkgs: (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [

-  }
-}
-```
-
-You can install it like any other packages via `nix-env -iA myEmacs`. However, this will only install those packages. It will not `configure` 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 provides a `default.el` file in `/share/emacs/site-start/`. Emacs knows to load this file automatically when it starts.

-If `nixExtensions != null`, then all manually installed add-ons will be uninstalled from your browser profile.
-To view available enterprise policies, visit [enterprise policies](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#enterprisepoliciesenabled)
-or type into the Firefox URL bar: `about:policies#documentation`.
-Nix installed add-ons do not have a valid signature, which is why signature verification is disabled. This does not compromise security because downloaded add-ons are checksummed and manual add-ons can't be installed. Also, make sure that the `name` field of `fetchFirefoxAddon` is unique. If you remove an add-on from the `nixExtensions` array, rebuild and start Firefox: the removed add-on will be completely removed with all of its settings.
-
-## Troubleshooting {#sec-firefox-troubleshooting}
-If add-ons are marked as broken or the signature is invalid, make sure you have Firefox ESR installed. Normal Firefox does not provide the ability anymore to disable signature verification for add-ons thus nix add-ons get disabled by the normal Firefox binary.
-
-If add-ons do not appear installed despite being defined in your nix configuration file, reset the local add-on state of your Firefox profile by clicking `Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Refresh Firefox`. This can happen if you switch from manual add-on mode to nix add-on mode and then back to manual mode and then again to nix add-on mode.

-# FUSE {#sec-fuse}
-
-Some packages rely on
-[FUSE](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fuse.html) to provide
-support for additional filesystems not supported by the kernel.
-
-In general, FUSE software are primarily developed for Linux but many of them can
-also run on macOS. Nixpkgs supports FUSE packages on macOS, but it requires
-[macFUSE](https://osxfuse.github.io) to be installed outside of Nix. macFUSE
-currently isn't packaged in Nixpkgs mainly because it includes a kernel
-extension, which isn't supported by Nix outside of NixOS.
-
-If a package fails to run on macOS with an error message similar to the
-following, it's a likely sign that you need to have macFUSE installed.
-
-    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib
-    Referenced from: /nix/store/w8bi72bssv0bnxhwfw3xr1mvn7myf37x-sshfs-fuse-2.10/bin/sshfs

-
-Package maintainers may often encounter the following error when building FUSE
-packages on macOS:
-
-    checking for fuse.h... no
-    configure: error: No fuse.h found.
-
-This happens on autoconf based projects that use `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` or
-`AC_CHECK_LIBS` to detect libfuse, and will occur even when the `fuse` package
-is included in `buildInputs`. It happens because libfuse headers throw an error
-on macOS if the `FUSE_USE_VERSION` macro is undefined. Many projects do define
-`FUSE_USE_VERSION`, but only inside C source files. This results in the above
-error at configure time because the configure script would attempt to compile
-sample FUSE programs without defining `FUSE_USE_VERSION`.
-
-There are two possible solutions for this problem in Nixpkgs:
-
-1. Pass `FUSE_USE_VERSION` to the configure script by adding
-   `CFLAGS=-DFUSE_USE_VERSION=25` in `configureFlags`. The actual value would
-   have to match the definition used in the upstream source code.
-2. Remove `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` / `AC_CHECK_LIBS` for libfuse.
-
-However, a better solution might be to fix the build script upstream to use
-`PKG_CHECK_MODULES` instead. This approach wouldn't suffer from the problem that
-`AC_CHECK_HEADERS`/`AC_CHECK_LIBS` has at the price of introducing a dependency
-on pkg-config.

-# Linux kernel {#sec-linux-kernel}
-
-The Nix expressions to build the Linux kernel are in [`pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel).
-
-The function that builds the kernel has an argument `kernelPatches` which should be a list of `{name, patch, extraConfig}` attribute sets, where `name` is the name of the patch (which is included in the kernel’s `meta.description` attribute), `patch` is the patch itself (possibly compressed), and `extraConfig` (optional) is a string specifying extra options to be concatenated to the kernel configuration file (`.config`).
-
-The kernel derivation exports an attribute `features` specifying whether optional functionality is or isn’t enabled. This is used in NixOS to implement kernel-specific behaviour. For instance, if the kernel has the `iwlwifi` feature (i.e., has built-in support for Intel wireless chipsets), then NixOS doesn’t have to build the external `iwlwifi` package:
-
-```nix
-modulesTree = [kernel]
-  ++ pkgs.lib.optional (!kernel.features ? iwlwifi) kernelPackages.iwlwifi
-  ++ ...;
-```
-
-How to add a new (major) version of the Linux kernel to Nixpkgs:
-
-1.  Copy the old Nix expression (e.g., `linux-2.6.21.nix`) to the new one (e.g., `linux-2.6.22.nix`) and update it.
-
-2.  Add the new kernel to the `kernels` attribute set in `linux-kernels.nix` (e.g., create an attribute `kernel_2_6_22`).
-
-3.  Now we’re going to update the kernel configuration. First unpack the kernel. Then for each supported platform (`i686`, `x86_64`, `uml`) do the following:
-
-    1.  Make a copy from the old config (e.g., `config-2.6.21-i686-smp`) to the new one (e.g., `config-2.6.22-i686-smp`).
-
-    2.  Copy the config file for this platform (e.g., `config-2.6.22-i686-smp`) to `.config` in the kernel source tree.
-
-    3.  Run `make oldconfig ARCH={i386,x86_64,um}` and answer all questions. (For the uml configuration, also add `SHELL=bash`.) Make sure to keep the configuration consistent between platforms (i.e., don’t enable some feature on `i686` and disable it on `x86_64`).
-
-    4.  If needed, you can also run `make menuconfig`:
-
-        ```ShellSession
-        $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA ncurses
-        $ export NIX_CFLAGS_LINK=-lncurses
-        $ make menuconfig ARCH=arch
-        ```
-
-    5.  Copy `.config` over the new config file (e.g., `config-2.6.22-i686-smp`).
-
-4.  Test building the kernel: `nix-build -A linuxKernel.kernels.kernel_2_6_22`. If it compiles, ship it! For extra credit, try booting NixOS with it.
-
-5.  It may be that the new kernel requires updating the external kernel modules and kernel-dependent packages listed in the `linuxPackagesFor` function in `linux-kernels.nix` (such as the NVIDIA drivers, AUFS, etc.). If the updated packages aren’t backwards compatible with older kernels, you may need to keep the older versions around.

-## ETags on static files served from the Nix store {#sec-nginx-etag}
-
-HTTP has a couple of different mechanisms for caching to prevent clients from having to download the same content repeatedly if a resource has not changed since the last time it was requested. When nginx is used as a server for static files, it implements the caching mechanism based on the [`Last-Modified`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Last-Modified) response header automatically; unfortunately, it works by using filesystem timestamps to determine the value of the `Last-Modified` header. This doesn't give the desired behavior when the file is in the Nix store because all file timestamps are set to 0 (for reasons related to build reproducibility).
-
-Fortunately, HTTP supports an alternative (and more effective) caching mechanism: the [`ETag`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/ETag) response header. The value of the `ETag` header specifies some identifier for the particular content that the server is sending (e.g., a hash). When a client makes a second request for the same resource, it sends that value back in an `If-None-Match` header. If the ETag value is unchanged, then the server does not need to resend the content.
-
-As of NixOS 19.09, the nginx package in Nixpkgs is patched such that when nginx serves a file out of `/nix/store`, the hash in the store path is used as the `ETag` header in the HTTP response, thus providing proper caching functionality. This happens automatically; you do not need to do modify any configuration to get this behavior.

-OpenGL support varies depending on which hardware is used and which drivers are available and loaded.
-
-Broadly, we support both GL vendors: Mesa and NVIDIA.
-
-## NixOS Desktop {#nixos-desktop}
-
-The NixOS desktop or other non-headless configurations are the primary target for OpenGL libraries and applications. The current solution for discovering which drivers are available is based on [libglvnd](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/glvnd/libglvnd). `libglvnd` performs "vendor-neutral dispatch", trying a variety of techniques to find the system's GL implementation. In practice, this will be either via standard GLX for X11 users or EGL for Wayland users, and supporting either NVIDIA or Mesa extensions.
-
-## Nix on GNU/Linux {#nix-on-gnulinux}

-If you are using a non-NixOS GNU/Linux/X11 desktop with free software video drivers, consider launching OpenGL-dependent programs from Nixpkgs with Nixpkgs versions of `libglvnd` and `mesa.drivers` in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. For Mesa drivers, the Linux kernel version doesn't have to match nixpkgs.
-
-For proprietary video drivers, you might have luck with also adding the corresponding video driver package.

-## Steam in Nix {#sec-steam-nix}
-
-Steam is distributed as a `.deb` file, for now only as an i686 package (the amd64 package only has documentation). When unpacked, it has a script called `steam` that in Ubuntu (their target distro) would go to `/usr/bin`. When run for the first time, this script copies some files to the user's home, which include another script that is the ultimate responsible for launching the steam binary, which is also in `$HOME`.
-
-Nix problems and constraints:
-
-- We don't have `/bin/bash` and many scripts point there. Same thing for `/usr/bin/python`.
-- We don't have the dynamic loader in `/lib`.
-- The `steam.sh` script in `$HOME` cannot be patched, as it is checked and rewritten by steam.
-- The steam binary cannot be patched, it's also checked.
-
-The current approach to deploy Steam in NixOS is composing a FHS-compatible chroot environment, as documented [here](http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.nl/2013/09/composing-fhs-compatible-chroot.html). 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.
-
-## How to play {#sec-steam-play}
-
-Use `programs.steam.enable = true;` if you want to add steam to `systemPackages` and also enable a few workarounds as well as Steam controller support or other Steam supported controllers such as the DualShock 4 or Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
-
-## Troubleshooting {#sec-steam-troub}
-
-- **Steam fails to start. What do I do?**
-
-  Try to run
-
-  ```ShellSession
-  strace steam
-  ```
-
-  to see what is causing steam to fail.
-
-- **Using the FOSS Radeon or nouveau (nvidia) drivers**
-
-  - The `newStdcpp` parameter was removed since NixOS 17.09 and should not be needed anymore.
-  - Steam ships statically linked with a version of `libcrypto` that conflicts with the one dynamically loaded by radeonsi_dri.so. If you get the error:
-
-    ```
-    steam.sh: line 713: 7842 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-    ```
-
-    have a look at [this pull request](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/20269).
-
-- **Java**
-
-  1. There is no java in steam chrootenv by default. If you get a message like:
-
-    ```
-    /home/foo/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/towns/towns.sh: line 1: java: command not found
-    ```
-
-    you need to add:
-
-    ```nix
-    steam.override { withJava = true; };
-    ```
-
-## steam-run {#sec-steam-run}
-
-The FHS-compatible chroot used for Steam can also be used to run other Linux games that expect a FHS environment. To use it, install the `steam-run` package and run the game with:
-
-```
-steam-run ./foo

-# Urxvt {#sec-urxvt}
-
-Urxvt, also known as rxvt-unicode, is a highly customizable terminal emulator.
-
-## Configuring urxvt {#sec-urxvt-conf}
-
-In `nixpkgs`, urxvt is provided by the package `rxvt-unicode`. It can be configured to include your choice of plugins, reducing its closure size from the default configuration which includes all available plugins. To make use of this functionality, use an overlay or directly install an expression that overrides its configuration, such as:
-
-```nix
-rxvt-unicode.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    plugins = with availablePlugins; [ perls resize-font vtwheel ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-If the `configure` function returns an attrset without the `plugins` attribute, `availablePlugins` will be used automatically.
-
-In order to add plugins but also keep all default plugins installed, it is possible to use the following method:
-
-```nix
-rxvt-unicode.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    plugins = (builtins.attrValues availablePlugins) ++ [ custom-plugin ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-To get a list of all the plugins available, open the Nix REPL and run
-
-```ShellSession
-$ nix repl
-:l <nixpkgs>
-map (p: p.name) pkgs.rxvt-unicode.plugins
-```
-
-Alternatively, if your shell is bash or zsh and have completion enabled, simply type `nixpkgs.rxvt-unicode.plugins.<tab>`.
-
-In addition to `plugins` the options `extraDeps` and `perlDeps` can be used to install extra packages. `extraDeps` can be used, for example, to provide `xsel` (a clipboard manager) to the clipboard plugin, without installing it globally:
-
-```nix
-rxvt-unicode.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    pluginsDeps = [ xsel ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-`perlDeps` is a handy way to provide Perl packages to your custom plugins (in `$HOME/.urxvt/ext`). For example, if you need `AnyEvent` you can do:
-
-```nix
-rxvt-unicode.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    perlDeps = with perlPackages; [ AnyEvent ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-## Packaging urxvt plugins {#sec-urxvt-pkg}
-
-Urxvt plugins resides in `pkgs/applications/misc/rxvt-unicode-plugins`. To add a new plugin, create an expression in a subdirectory and add the package to the set in `pkgs/applications/misc/rxvt-unicode-plugins/default.nix`.
-
-A plugin can be any kind of derivation, the only requirement is that it should always install perl scripts in `$out/lib/urxvt/perl`. Look for existing plugins for examples.
-
-If the plugin is itself a Perl package that needs to be imported from other plugins or scripts, add the following passthrough:
-
-```nix
-passthru.perlPackages = [ "self" ];
-```
-
-This will make the urxvt wrapper pick up the dependency and set up the Perl path accordingly.

-# WeeChat {#sec-weechat}
-
-WeeChat can be configured to include your choice of plugins, reducing its closure size from the default configuration which includes all available plugins. To make use of this functionality, install an expression that overrides its configuration, such as:
-
-```nix
-weechat.override {configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
-    plugins = with availablePlugins; [ python perl ];
-  }
-}
-```
-
-If the `configure` function returns an attrset without the `plugins` attribute, `availablePlugins` will be used automatically.
-
-The plugins currently available are `python`, `perl`, `ruby`, `guile`, `tcl` and `lua`.
-
-The Python and Perl plugins allows the addition of extra libraries. For instance, the `inotify.py` script in `weechat-scripts` requires D-Bus or libnotify, and the `fish.py` script requires `pycrypto`. To use these scripts, use the plugin's `withPackages` attribute:
-
-```nix
-weechat.override { configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
-    plugins = with availablePlugins; [
-            (python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pycrypto python-dbus ]))
-        ];
-    };
-}
-```
-
-In order to also keep all default plugins installed, it is possible to use the following method:
-
-```nix
-weechat.override { configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-  plugins = builtins.attrValues (availablePlugins // {
-    python = availablePlugins.python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pycrypto python-dbus ]);
-  });
-}; }
-```
-
-WeeChat allows to set defaults on startup using the `--run-command`. The `configure` method can be used to pass commands to the program:
-
-```nix
-weechat.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    init = ''
-      /set foo bar
-      /server add libera irc.libera.chat
-    '';
-  };
-}
-```
-
-Further values can be added to the list of commands when running `weechat --run-command "your-commands"`.
-
-Additionally, it's possible to specify scripts to be loaded when starting `weechat`. These will be loaded before the commands from `init`:
-
-```nix
-weechat.override {
-  configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
-    scripts = with pkgs.weechatScripts; [
-      weechat-xmpp weechat-matrix-bridge wee-slack
-    ];
-    init = ''
-      /set plugins.var.python.jabber.key "val"
-    '':
-  };
-}
-```
-
-In `nixpkgs` there's a subpackage which contains derivations for WeeChat scripts. Such derivations expect a `passthru.scripts` attribute, which contains a list of all scripts inside the store path. Furthermore, all scripts have to live in `$out/share`. An exemplary derivation looks like this:
-
-```nix
-{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
-
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "exemplary-weechat-script";
-  src = fetchurl {
-    url = "https://scripts.tld/your-scripts.tar.gz";
-    hash = "...";
-  };
-  passthru.scripts = [ "foo.py" "bar.lua" ];
-  installPhase = ''
-    mkdir $out/share
-    cp foo.py $out/share
-    cp bar.lua $out/share
-  '';

+  In <literal>nixpkgs</literal> there's a subpackage which contains derivations for WeeChat scripts. Such derivations expect a <literal>passthru.scripts</literal> attribute which contains a list of all scripts inside the store path. Furthermore all scripts have to live in <literal>$out/share</literal>. An exemplary derivation looks like this:
+<programlisting>{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
+
+stdenv.mkDerivation {
+  name = "exemplary-weechat-script";
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = "https://scripts.tld/your-scripts.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "...";
+  };
+  passthru.scripts = [ "foo.py" "bar.lua" ];
+  installPhase = ''
+    mkdir $out/share
+    cp foo.py $out/share
+    cp bar.lua $out/share
+  '';
