Package patches
Each package follows the GnuTLS layout:
default.nixapplies the patch through the package overlay.- A descriptive
.patchfile contains the standalone upstream source change. README.mdexplains the problem, scope, reproduction, upstream status, Nix integration, and recorded validation limits.- Companion
verify-*tools live beside the patch when needed; otherwise the README gives commands for the package's existing tests.
Keep package-specific evidence in its directory. Patch headers explain the
change independently of Nix, and default.nix preserves existing patches.
| Package | Repair |
|---|---|
| Abseil | Public BMI2 header in Electron, Deno, and Signal's vendored copies |
| GnuTLS | Wait for the UDP server socket before connecting |
| Prometheus | Complete parsing before inspecting the test editor state |
| pytest-xdist | Check worker replacements and allow startup on loaded builders |
| SciPy | Account for floating-point rounding in STFT tests |
Local NixOS integration
The x86-64-v3 optional module
imports this directory's default.nix directly, so the patch
overlay applies only to hosts using that package set. Prometheus patches its
separate assets derivation; Python packages use pythonPackagesExtensions.
The pytest-xdist directory also owns its outer-worker limit and remote-worker event timeout. These package overrides add no skipped tests. Existing nixpkgs exclusions remain separate from these repairs.
The review used Python 3.14.7 and the pinned x86-64-v3 package set. Host-flake evaluation verified patch wiring, Python install checks, and Prometheus's reference to the patched assets. No complete NixOS rebuild was performed. Individual READMEs distinguish package builds, focused tests, and checks that have not been run.
