This barfed with
error: [json.exception.type_error.302] type must be string, but is array
on `nix build github:malt3/bazel-env#bazel-env` because it has a `exportReferencesGraph` with a value like `["string",...["string"]]`.
(cherry picked from commit 94f410b628)
Firstly, this is now available on darwin where the default in llvm 19.
Secondly, this leads to very weird segfaults when building with newer nixpkgs for some reason.
(It's UB after all).
This appears when building with the following:
mesonComponentOverrides = finalAttrs: prevAttrs: {
mesonBuildType = "debugoptimized";
dontStrip = true;
doCheck = false;
separateDebugInfo = false;
preConfigure = (prevAttrs.preConfigure or "") + ''
case "$mesonBuildType" in
release|minsize|debugoptimized) appendToVar mesonFlags "-Db_lto=true" ;;
*) appendToVar mesonFlags "-Db_lto=false" ;;
esac
'';
};
And with the following nixpkgs input:
nix build ".#nix-cli" -L --override-input nixpkgs "https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/unstable/nixos-25.11pre870157.7df7ff7d8e00/nixexprs.tar.xz"

This broke invocations like:
NIX_SSHOPTS='-p2222 -oUserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no' nix copy /nix/store/......-foo --to ssh-ng://root@localhost
In Nix 2.30.2, fakeSSH was enabled when the "thing I want to connect to"
was plain old "localhost". Previously, this check was written as:
, fakeSSH(host == "localhost")
Given the above invocation, `host` would have been `root@localhost`, and
thus `fakeSSH` would be `false` because `root@localhost` != `localhost`.
However, since 49ba06175e, `authority.host`
returned _just_ the host (`localhost`, no user) and erroneously enabled
`fakeSSH` in this case, causing `NIX_SSHOPTS` to be ignored (since,
when `fakeSSH` is `true`, `SSHMaster::startCommand` doesn't call
`addCommonSSHOpts`).
`authority.to_string()` accurately returns the expected `root@localhost`
format (given the above invocation), fixing this.
These are helper programs that execute derivations for specified
system types (e.g. using QEMU to emulate another system type).
To use, set `external-builders`:
external-builders = [{"systems": ["aarch64-linux"], "program": "/path/to/external-builder.py"}]
The external builder gets one command line argument, the path to a JSON file containing all necessary information about the derivation:
{
"args": [...],
"builder": "/nix/store/kwcyvgdg98n98hqapaz8sw92pc2s78x6-bash-5.2p37/bin/bash",

"HOME": "/homeless-shelter",
...
},
"realStoreDir": "/tmp/nix/nix/store",
"storeDir": "/nix/store",
"tmpDir": "/tmp/nix-shell.dzQ2hE/nix-build-patchelf-0.14.3.drv-46/build",
