move script to pkg dir, add hint to script in pkg def
remove unneeded script deps
add extended bash error checking
rename DIR -> TMPDIR
remove TMPDIR on exit
strip whitespace, simplify comments
gpg2 -> gpg
latesttagelectrs -> latest
tmpdir: don't use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is often in RAM and shouldn't be used for larger
workloads like repo downlaods
verify fingerprint of the imported key
remove trailing '-' in output
simplify output
Hide --fetch-key output
Output is not relevant to user, looks better without it
More accurately describe ./get-sha256 function
User might think that ./get-sha256 automatically updates sha256 in default.nix
Fetch key from sks keyservers instead of keybase.io
Using --recv-key simplifies getting the right key, and only the
right key, greatly. I try to refrain from using sks keyservers,
but the certificate spamming attack shouldn't be an issue in this
case because we create a temporary keychain just for the
verificaiton.
remove unneeded cargoDepsHook
Make clang nativeBuildInput instead of buildInput
Use buildRustPackage instead of buildRustCrate (via crate2nix).
buildRustPackage builds the whole executable and its libraries in a
single `cargo build` process.
With the create2nix approach each library is built in a separate derivation,
directly using rustc instead of the cargo wrapper.
Benefits of buildRustPackage:
- Much simpler to maintain
- Package derivation evaluates much faster
Benefits of crate2nix:
- Build can be distributed over multiple build hosts
- Better sharing of common dependencies between different builds
- More fine-grained rebuilding on build failures
In nixpkgs buildRustPackage is used for almost all Rust pkgs, it's
also a better fit for our use case.
