The license of CompCert is not a generic "INRIA" license. It is "INRIA Non-Commercial
Agreement for the CompCert verified compiler". As unfortunate as it may seem, this
is a non-free license (clearly mentioned as such in its preamble). See also #20256.
This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.
I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)
Two notable advantages to this approach:
1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:
+ diff master fixed-lib
11764a11765,11766
> .types.defaultFunctor
> .types.defaultTypeMerge
11774a11777,11778
> .types.isOptionType
> .types.isType
11781a11786
> .types.mkOptionType
11788a11794
> .types.setType
11795a11802
> .types.types
This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.
Test script (run with nix-repl in the PATH):
#!/bin/sh
set -eux
repl() {
suff=${1:-}
echo "(import ./lib)$suff" \
| nix-repl 2>&1
}
attrs_to_check() {
repl "${1:-}" \
| tr ';' $'\n' \
| grep "\.\.\." \
| cut -d' ' -f2 \
| sed -e "s/^/${1:-}./" \
| sort
}
summ() {
repl "${1:-}" \
| tr ' ' $'\n' \
| sort \
| uniq
}
deep_summ() {
suff="${1:-}"
depth="${2:-4}"
depth=$((depth - 1))
summ "$suff"
for attr in $(attrs_to_check "$suff" | grep -v "types.types"); do
if [ $depth -eq 0 ]; then
summ "$attr" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
else
deep_summ "$attr" "$depth" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
fi
done
}
(
cd nixpkgs
#git add .
#git commit -m "Auto-commit, sorry" || true
git checkout fixed-lib
deep_summ > ../fixed-lib
git checkout master
deep_summ > ../master
)
if diff master fixed-lib; then
echo "SHALLOW MATCH!"
fi
(
cd nixpkgs
git checkout fixed-lib
repl .types
)
The notion (not-ion) window manager [1], plus optional (defaulted to
true) Xft/pango support (via [2]). Defined a license (notion uses a
modified LGPL).
As per [3], changes:
1. renamed option from pango -> xft, better to reflect the actual
nature of the patch;
2. modified the patch to replace the postPatch changes to system-autodeteck.mk;
3. commited the patch to the nixpkgs repo;
4. removed 'fallbackFont' as an option. Use a sensible default, instead.
Many stylistic changes, thanks to @lethalman.

This allows licenses like the Amazon Software License to be identified
properly while still preventing packages with those licenses from
being distributed in the Nixpkgs/NixOS channels.
