Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Changed

The values in the nixopts attribute to nixpkgs_package are now subject to location expansion. Any instance of $(location LABEL) in the nixopts attribute will be expanded to the file path of the file referenced by LABEL. To pass a plain $ to Nix it must be escaped as $$. See #132.

0.7.0 - 2020-04-20

Added

Define rules_nixpkgs_dependencies in //nixpkgs:repositories.bzl.
Define nixpkgs_go_configure in //nixpkgs:toolchains/go.bzl
nixpkgs_package now has a quiet attribute.

Changed

The constraint value for targets to detect whether Nix is available on the current platform is now called @//nixpkgs/constraints:support_nix. The associated constraint setting is @//nixpkgs/constraints:nix. The old constraint @//nixpkgs/constraints:nixpkgs constraint setting is still available. But it is highly recommended to migrate to the new constraint setting, and update platform definitions accordingly. This is a breaking change for users of nixpkgs_python_configure.
Show Nix output by default, like in releases prior to v0.6.

Fixed

nixpkgs_local_repository now correctly invalidates the cache when Nix source files change. See #123.

0.6.0 - 2019-11-14

Added

Check nix_file_deps and fail on undeclared dependencies (breaking change). See #76 and #86.
Define a nixpkgs platform constraint. See #97.
Define nixpkgs_python_configure. See #97.
Define nixpkgs_sh_posix_configure to generate rules_sh POSIX toolchain. See #95.

Changed

Hide Nix output, following Bazel best practices for a quiet build.
Disable implicit nixpkgs configuration loading (breaking change). See #83.

Fixed

Improve distributed caching by not leaking user specific Bazel cache directory, see #67.

0.5.2 - 2019-01-28

Added

nixpkgs_package now has a new optional argument fail_not_supported allowing the rule to not fail on Windows (when set to False)
nixpkgs_cc_configure now has a new optional argument nixopts which propagates extra arguments to the nix-build calls.

Fixed

The nixpkgs_package is now a no-op on non nixpkgs-supported platforms instead of throwing an error.

0.5.1 - 2018-12-18

Changed

nixpkgs_package now has a new optional argument nixopts allowing to pass extra arguments to the nix-build calls

Fixed

The various nix_* rules are now only triggered when one of their dependency has changed and not each time the WORKSPACE is modified
The nixpkgs_cc_configure macro is now much faster
nixpkgs_cc_configure is now a no-op on non nixpkgs-supported platforms instead of throwing an error
The lib filegroup provided in the default BUILD file for nixpkgs_package now also works on MacOS

0.4.1 - 2018-11-17

Added

nixpkgs_cc_configure rule to tell Bazel to configure a toolchain from tools found in the given Nixpkgs repository, instead of from tools found in the ambient environment.
nixpkgs_local_repository rule. Works like nixpkgs_git_repository but takes a checked-in Nix file or Nix expression as input.

Changed

The repository attribute is no longer deprecated. Most rules support both repository and repositories as attributes.

Fixed

Short repository labels work again. That is, you can say repository = "@nixpkgs" as a short form for repository = "@nixpkgs//:default.nix".

0.3.1 - 2018-10-24

Fixed

repositories is no longer a required argument to nixpkgs_package.

0.3 - 2018-10-23

Added

nixpkgks_package now supports referencing arbitrarily named nix files. A bug previously only made it possible to reference default.nix files.

Removed

The path attribute has been removed. See Migration section in README.md for instructions.

Changed

nixpkgs_packages does not accept implicit <nixpkgs> version. See #25.

[0.2.3] - 2018-07-01

Added

sha256 attribute to nixpkgs_git_repository.
Ability to point to a Nixpkgs fork via the new remote attribute to nixpkgs_git_repository.
