2021-11-04treewide: Fix unsafe concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, round 2Anders Kaseorg1-1/+1
Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted. (See #67234, for example.) Fix this throughout the tree. Followup to #76804. Fixes #144646. Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>

2021-06-07doc: Use markdown syntax for xrefsJan Tojnar1-1/+1
Syntax is taken from MyST: https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/syntax.html#targets-and-cross-referencing
2021-06-07doc: prepare for commonmarkJan Tojnar2-7/+7
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly. Notably: - Line breaks in lists behave differently. - Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75 - The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit. - Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist While at it, I also fixed the following issues: - ShellSesssion was used - Removed some pointless docbook tags.

2021-01-11doc: stdenv.lib -> libProfpatsch1-2/+2
Part of: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938 Changing the documentation to not refer to stdenv.lib is the first step to make people use it directly.
2020-11-30tree-wide: do not use pkgs.extend in nixpkgszimbatm1-0/+1
Each invocation of pkgs.extends adds 130MB of allocation to the hydra evaluator. We are already struggling with the amount of memory nixpkgs requires. `pkgs.extend` is a useful escape-hatch, but should be not be used inside of nixpkgs directly.
