2017-01-20doc: improve hardening docsFranz Pletz1-3/+11
Fixes #18887.
2016-10-11stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variableProfpatsch1-5/+4
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName` instead. Basically all usages did something like `$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged. Fixed the implementation and all invocations.
2016-10-08stdenv: document makeWrapperProfpatsch1-0/+44
Add function documentation to `makeWrapper`. Also add user documentation to the nixpkgs manual.

2016-06-25Revert "stdenv: introduce baseHash() to replace stripHash()"zimbatm1-17/+13

2016-06-25stdenv: introduce baseHash() to replace stripHash()zimbatm1-13/+17
stripHash uses a global variable to communicate it's computation results, but it's not necessary. You can just pipe to stdout in a subshell. A function mostly behaves like just another command. baseHash() also introduces a suffix-stripping capability since it's something the users of the function tend to use.
2016-06-21doc: Update stripHash documentationTom Boettcher1-4/+18
The documentation now matches the behavior of the function.

2015-09-17Enable separate debug infoEelco Dolstra1-0/+28
You can now pass separateDebugInfo = true; to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to make sense of core dumps, etc.

Without this stdenv change it seems difficult to fix some glib's gsettings issues, as the folders in question may (not) be created in installPhase.
