@Artturin Is there an easy way to measure the delta in the closure size?

@Artturin Is there an easy way to measure the delta in the closure size?

this doesn't change the closure size much (atleast for a minimal-ish system assuming i did the comparison correctly) but instead reduces the dependency tree size ( reducing compilation times if compiling from ex staging)

nixos/modules/config/no-x-libs.nix

Can we please add an option instead of overwriting packages to null? This would for example break if we access libXpm.version.

Suggested change

gd = super.gd.override { libXpm = null; };

gd = super.gd.override { withXorg = false; };

Let me create a PR that adds a proper option for this.

FYI you motivated to try this again especially for my simd branch and I created the following PRs:

roberth · 2022-12-07T11:38:01Z

ghostscript_headless: init #204977

I'm not doing this through the NixOS no-x-libs overlay, because this should improve many packages that have no business having graphical libraries in their build closure, saving many rebuilds, regardless of whether the user wants to optimize for a non-graphical system configuration.

Artturin · 2022-12-10T19:54:29Z

wait until https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=204426 is in master

SuperSandro2000 · 2022-12-22T00:42:02Z

Why not merge this into staging?

Needed to create a new PR because force pushing that one almost deadlocked my computer. #211428

all-packages: change -nox overrides to callPackage's so there is no infinite recursion when replacing the package with a overlay

Izorkin · 2023-01-20T19:56:07Z

This PR causes this error:

error: infinite recursion encountered

       at /home/user/works/src-nix/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:20695:3:

        20694|
        20695|   libdevil-nox = libdevil.override {
             |   ^
        20696|     inherit (darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks) OpenGL;

-      gpsd = super.gpsd.override { guiSupport = false; };
      imagemagick = super.imagemagick.override { libX11Support = false; libXtSupport = false; };
      imagemagickBig = super.imagemagickBig.override { libX11Support = false; libXtSupport = false; };
+      libdevil = super.libdevil-nox;


libdevil -> libdevil-nox -> libdevil -> libdevil-nox ...

changing this back to

libdevil-nox = callPackage ../development/libraries/libdevil { inherit (darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks) OpenGL; withXorg = false; };

will work

Thanks, working!

Ahh, sorry, messed this up when rebasing.

Thanks @SuperSandro2000
