... by moving our stuff out of the way from upstream's
`nixComponents` and `nixDependencies` attrsets.
(I prefer not to use overlays, but let's make it work this way
first)
Some of the maintainer attribute names got changed in nixos-unstable
(e.g. "edolstra" is now "eelco") but we want this flake to work on
nixos-24.11. So just get rid of them.
Doing this makes catching non-obvious bugs easier. GHA CI workload is
already a concern and there isn't much benefit in running the tests with
and without sanitizers at the same time, so UBSAN is enabled for default
checks.
This change doesn't affect production builds in any way, but is rather a
step in the direction of improving automated testing during development.
Relates to #10969.
- Multiple choices of stdenv are handled more consistently, especially for the dev
shells which were previously not done correctly.
- Some stray nix code was moving into the `packaging` directory
Just now there is a dependency on cachix, which means we cannot test
the installer in CI if forks do not have the necessary secrets set up.
We replace this with a simple http server that serves the installer and
can be both used in CI and locally.
We *could* use a "native" manual instead - ie reusing a native
`nixpkgsFor.${buildPlatform}`, but this works, and also
works for possible cases where we have a custom or patched build tool.
It had gotten rather big. Hopefully we'll eventually have some generic
infra for a "multi-package dev shell" and not need so much code for
this, but until then it's better in a separate file.
Meson-ify a few things, scripts, completions, etc. Should make our Meson
build complete except for docs.

We are currently building Nix twice in the main GHA CI job, which is
frequently timing out. Obviously, we want this to be fast, so only do
the main build for now.
This ensures just `nix build`-ing the flake doesn't forget to run all
tests. One can still specifiy specific attributes to just build one
thing.

As discussed in our meeting, we should use a simplified version for the
libraries without the date or commit hash. This will make rebuilding a
lot faster in many cases.
Progress on #10379

This seems to have been the intent all along.
The odd combination of unit tests, but no functional tests caused a
build error where some data for the unit test was source-filtered out.
Apparently. It's unclear to me why that happened, so I'm proposing this
alternate "fix" to get the buildNoTests to pass.
It would be nice to test more configurations, but this mode of building
is on the way out anyway, so let's just make it pass and see what
configurations make sense to test as part of the meson migration.
