2021-08-14nixpkgs-docs: when to prefer passthru.tests over installCheckPhaseArnout Engelen3-2/+46
And mention you can have either lightweight 'package' or more heavyweight 'NixOS' (module) tests. This was suggested at https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/issues/260#issuecomment-821287971 and discussed further at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/119731

Trying to reuse the update scripts used by kakoune/vim to provide the user with an unified convergence. Some stuff doesn't work yet (parallel download, caching) but I (anyone else welcome to try too) will improve it in other PRs.

2021-07-14doc/coding-conventions: Increase passthru test timeout 3s -> 60sRobert Hensing1-1/+1
3s is too small a margin for a loaded slow system to start a bloated program. This leads to problems when tests are written on decent dev hardware but later run on build farms of potentially slower hardware, particularly in the case of non x86. The chance of needing the timeout is actually very small, so those rare 57s are a reasonable price to pay for fewer timeouts on build farms, each of which should be investigated and usually fixed by increasing the timeout.

2021-07-06Link to Libera, Matrix instead of FreenodeslotThe1-1/+1
The project has moved away from Freenode as an IRC network[1], and there is now a quite large channel on Libera. As such, we should point users towards that instead. This also changes all examples to refer to libera instead of freenode as, with the recent deletion of all freenode channels, it is perhaps where most communities are to be found nowadays. Finally, also link to the official Matrix room[2] as an alternative to IRC.

2021-06-11stdenv: introduce dontAddStaticConfigureFlagsAlyssa Ross1-1/+7
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared, without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_ in pkgs/top-level/static.nix. It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix. This is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv options. So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags. With this mechanism, a package that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.

2021-06-10nixos/*: replace alsa* aliasesVladimír Čunát1-2/+2
The attributes got renamed in PR #126440 and in some places this caused evaluation errors, e.g. the tarball job was saying (locally) > attribute 'alsaUtils' missing, at /build/source/nixos/modules/services/audio/alsa.nix:6:4 and I suspect that trunk-combined jobset's failure to evaluate was also caused.
