mudlet: 3.0.0-delta -> 4.0.3 (fixes broken package) #68158

pstn · 2019-09-05T17:56:17Z

Motivation for this change

mudlet has been broken for a while now. I managed to fix and upgrade it to the most recent version.

I added myself as a maintainer since nobody else seems to have interest in that package any more.

Thanks to @abbradar for the help and the patch to upstream.

The current maintainer has been inactive for quite some time, so please consider reviewing this even if you are not them.

+      --set LUA_CPATH "${luaFileSystemPath};${luaZipPath};${lrexlibPath};${luasqlitePath};${luayajlPath};${luaUtf8Path}" \
+      --prefix LUA_PATH : "$NIX_LUA_PATH" \


have you tried using an environment instead? luaEnv = lua.withPackages(p: [luaFileSystemPath ...]). Will make the path simpler and indenpendant of the lua version, like one could override with lua52 and still have the paths valid instead of luaUtf8Path = "${luautf8}/lib/lua/5.1/?.so";

I didn't because I didn't know about that method. You are right. It's way cleaner.
I couldn't get rid of all dependencies on the lua version, but I moved that version in a variable at the top for easier maintenance and discovery.

Scratch that. Got it working by overwriting the lua version in all-packages.nix.

Removed a few dependencies that became unneeded but I forgot to clean up.

+  WITH_UPDATER = "NO";

+  preConfigure = ''


Perhaps this is not needed now that we use withPackages?

preConfigure removed.

  ];

-  preConfigure = "cd src";
+  WITH_FONTS = false;


Use "NO" here too for consistency and because I'm not sure false would work but "NO" is used by AUR package.

@teto, can you check Lua stuff once more just in case before we merge?

may be best for the patch to live in nixpkgs ?

They already merged it upstream actually: Mudlet/Mudlet@6306f99

I had it in nixpkgs but @abbradar wanted me to pull it from their repo.

I think i like it better this way because you could access more information about the patch when you know how to handle the link.

the issue is that url points towards @abbradar url. so if he deletes his fork or the branch, the package will stop compiling. If the patch were in nixpkgs then we are in control. Referencing the upstreaming patch should be fine as if their commit disappear, it means we will have problems anyway.

Ah, got it. fetching the patch from mudlet/mudlet now.

there are too many changes in the lua generated packages list. I wonder if some of them are linked with the luarocks update.
Many seem to have changed to luafr.org, which is a mirror of the luarocks server. Are you based in france by any chance @pstn ? This is something I need to fix in luarocks2nix Meanwhile you could just restrict the changes in in generated-packages.nix to only the changes you need (with git add -p).

Dependency for mudlet >= 4.0

pstn · 2019-09-07T10:32:42Z

No, I'm in Germany.

I did discard all the unneeded changes in both commits. Thanks for your help.

teto · 2019-09-07T11:06:21Z

No, it's me thanking you ! I wanted this package to use lua environments for at least a year but fixing it proved too difficult. Not only did you do it but you also found some issue in how the lua packages are generated. I have a fix I will submit soon.
The last thing I would like to see before merging is to fetch the patch from the mudlet's repo. Thanks for keeping up with us.

Fixed broken package.

not sure why it's stuck, I ran a nix-review on x86-64 and it worked. Merging. Thanks to all those involved.
