2023-01-16multi-outputs.sh: Improve _assignFirst error messageRobert Hensing1-1/+1
Closes #16182 This improves the error message Error: _assignFirst found no valid variant! which occurred when the set of outputs was not sufficient to set the various outputDev, outputBin, etc variables. Specifically, this would mean that "out" is not among the outputs, which is valid for a derivation. This changes the message to something like error: _assignFirst: could not find a non-empty variable to assign to outputDev. The following variables were all unset or empty: dev out. If you did not define an "out" output, make sure to define all the specific required outputs: define an output for one of the unset variables. While this isn't a full explanation of what stdenv can and can not do, I think it's vast improvement over the 0 bits of information that it used to provide. This at least gives a clue as to what's going on, and even suggests a fix, although probably multiple such fixes are required in an instance where someone starts with a no-out derivation from scratch (and decide to persist).

manual: update meta-attributes section
2022-12-04doc: use sri hash syntaxColin Arnott1-2/+2
The nixpkgs manual contains references to both sri hash and explicit sha256 attributes. This is at best confusing to new users. Since the final destination is exclusive use of sri hashes, see nixos/rfcs#131, might as well push new users in that direction gently. Notable exceptions to sri hash support are builtins.fetchTarball, cataclysm-dda, coq, dockerTools.pullimage, elixir.override, and fetchCrate. None, other than builtins.fetchTarball, are fundamentally incompatible, but all currently accept explicit sha256 attributes as input. Because adding backwards compatibility is out of scope for this change, they have been left intact, but migration to sri format has been made for any using old hash formats. All hashes have been manually tested to be accurate, and updates were only made for missing upstream artefacts or bugs.
2022-12-03manual: update meta-attributes sectionArnout Engelen1-48/+2
Promote the `maintainers = with maintainers; [ ]` syntax as that is most common in nixpkgs, and remove the `nix-env` example which doesn't work like that anymore.

2022-11-04lib/systems: Support FreeBSDJohn Ericson1-2/+2
A tricky thing about FreeBSD is that there is no stable ABI across versions. That means that putting in the version as part of the config string is paramount. We have a parsed represenation that separates name versus version to accomplish this. We include FreeBSD versions 12 and 13 to demonstrate how it works.

gcc: enable stripping for cross-compilers
2022-07-25setup-hooks/strip.sh: add strip{All,Debug}ListTarget variablesSergei Trofimovich1-0/+8
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to allow special stripping directories just for Target. The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own strip tools accordingly.
