When installing a lua package that depends on luarocks, luarocks was not capable of recognizing the luarocks module: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/316009 . As explained here https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/issues/1659, luarocks needs a manifest to recognize the package. I first attempted to generate a manifest with `luarocks-admin make-manifest` on our current manual luarocks derivation but this ended up being too hackish as the `make-manifest` requires a .rockspec or .rock to work, which we had not. It seemed simpled to just rename the current manual luarocks derivation to luarocks_bootstrap in order to break cyclic dependencies in buildLuarocksPackage and add a generated luarocks derivation. Previously it was impossible to test luarocks because of the cyclic dependency but we will now be able to test the generated derivation.
Maintainer scripts
This folder contains various executable scripts for nixpkgs maintainers, and supporting data or nixlang files as needed. These scripts generally aren't a stable interface and may changed or be removed.
What follows is a (very incomplete) overview of available scripts.
Metadata
check-by-name.sh
An alias for pkgs/test/check-by-name/run-local.sh, see documentation.
get-maintainer.sh
get-maintainer.sh [selector] value returns a JSON object describing
a given nixpkgs maintainer, equivalent to lib.maintainers.${x} // { handle = x; }.
This allows looking up a maintainer's attrset (including GitHub and Matrix
handles, email address etc.) based on any of their handles, more correctly and
robustly than text search through maintainers-list.nix.
❯ ./get-maintainer.sh nicoo
{
"email": "nicoo@debian.org",
"github": "nbraud",
"githubId": 1155801,
"keys": [
{
"fingerprint": "E44E 9EA5 4B8E 256A FB73 49D3 EC9D 3708 72BC 7A8C"
}
],
"name": "nicoo",
"handle": "nicoo"
}
❯ ./get-maintainer.sh name 'Silvan Mosberger'
{
"email": "contact@infinisil.com",
"github": "infinisil",
"githubId": 20525370,
"keys": [
{
"fingerprint": "6C2B 55D4 4E04 8266 6B7D DA1A 422E 9EDA E015 7170"
}
],
"matrix": "@infinisil:matrix.org",
"name": "Silvan Mosberger",
"handle": "infinisil"
}
The maintainer is designated by a selector which must be one of:
handle(default): the maintainer's attribute name inlib.maintainers;email,name,github,githubId,matrix,name: attributes of the maintainer's object, matched exactly; seemaintainer-list.nixfor the fields' definition.
