This reverts commit PR #167947.
Flakes aren't standardised and the `lib` namespace shouldn't be
polluted with utilities that serve only experimental uses.
This patch causes the autodetection code in lib/systems/platforms.nix
to return {} if it cannot detect the platform and one of the
platform.nix-detection-provided attributes (linux-kernel, gcc, and
rustc) are accessed, rather than silently assuming the "pc" platform
as was previously done.
It is definitely safe to assume that code using these attributes is
prepared to deal with `gcc` and `rustc` not being defined, because
many of the working entries in this file don't define it.
Regarding `linux-kernel` the situation is less certain, but some code
(`lib/systems/default.nix` for example) is already designed to deal
with that attribute being missing. At worst it would result in an
"attribute not found" error.
While adding mips64el bootstrap support to nixpkgs, the silent
assumption that mips64el routers are actually Intel PCs caused
significant frustration. This commit removes that assumption in order
to save people who port nixpkgs to new platforms in the future from
this frustration.
For other platforms like Intel and ARM, we can do
e.g. lib.platforms.aarch64 to get only the 64-bit ARM platorms, but
until now there were no equivalents for RISC-V.
Probably being the most prominent document demonstrating the problem,
configuration.nix(5) describes various types in plural, e.g.
- ` Type: list of strings`
- ` Type: list of systemd options`
However, there are other cases where appending "s" to the inner type
effectively changes the type, e.g.
- ```
Type: list of string matching the pattern
[a-zA-Z0-9@%:_.\-]+[.](service|socket|device|mount|automount|swap|target|path|timer|scope|slice)s
```
This should've read "list of string[s]..." but instead changes the
regular expression.
Simply drop the best-effort plural in favour of correctness and
simplicity rather than adding more grammar related logic/trying to fix
this.
* lib/strings: optimise hasInfix function
* lib/strings: optimise hasInfix further using regex
* rstudio: call hasInfix with a string
* lib/strings: remove let from hasInfix

This commit creates flakes.nix, which is a library containing functions
which relate to interacting with flakes. It also moves related functions
from trivial.nix into it.
This is essentially a copy of the function of the same name, from
flake-compat. callLocklessFlake is useful when trying to utilise a
flake.nix without a lock file, often for when you want to create a
subflake from within a parent flake.

This allows other module system consumers to
disable these docs via option merging.
For instance arion uses asciidoc instead of
docbook so that would look awful.
This commit adds an `isPower64` predicate to the two existing
predicates for this architecture (`isPower` and `isPowerPC`).
Note that `isPowerPC` matches only 32-bit machines, whereas `isPower`
matches both 64-bit and 32-bit machines. Prior to this commit there
was no single `isXXX` predicate for `powerpc64le`.
Documents the _module.args option, motivated by many usages in Flakes,
especially with the deprecation of extraArgs
(78ada83361)
The documentation rendering for this option had to be handled a bit
specially, since it's not declared in nixos/modules like all the other
NixOS options.

This uses the levenshtein distance to look through all possible
arguments to find ones that are close to what was requested:
error: Function in /home/infinisil/src/nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/text/ripgrep/default.nix
called without required argument "fetchFromGithub",
did you mean "fetchFromGitHub" or "fetchFromGitLab"?
With https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3468 (in current nixUnstable) the error
message becomes even better, adding line location info
Adds some functions related to string similarity:
- lib.strings.commonPrefixLength
- lib.strings.commonSuffixLength
- lib.strings.levenshtein
- lib.strings.levenshteinAtMost
types.optionSet has been deprecated for almost 10 years now
(0e333688ce)! A removal
was already attempted in 2019
(27982b408e), but it was promptly
reinstantiated since some third-party uses were discovered
(f531ce75e4178c6867cc1d0f7fec96b2d5c3f1cb).
It's finally time to remove it for good :)
The current logic assumes that everything that isn't a derivation is a
store path, but it can also be something that's *coercible* to a store
path, like a flake input.
Unnecessary uses of `lib.toDerivation` result in errors in pure evaluation
mode when `builtins.storePath` is disabled.
Also document what a `package` is.
