Nixpkgs: Deprecate explicit setting of `phases = [...]`

[dezgeg]

Doing stuff like phases = [ "unpackPhase" "buildPhase" "installPhase" ]; is a bad idea, because:

• Semi-important but not crucial phases like fixupPhase are almost always forgotten, leading to things like:
  
  
  
  • huge closures due to not running patchelf --shrink-rpath
  
  
  • uncompressed manpages
  
  
• It breaks setup hooks that want to add their own phases (e.g. autoreconfHook which appends to preConfigurePhases)

We should either undocument phases or at least write that it's a bad idea, and replace all the following with proper dontBuild etc. flags:

Or maybe just document to not forget about fixupPhase?

[globin]

I'm very in favour of this!

[oxij]

As an author of osmctools expression I want to note that at least some
of those uses are legit.

I agree that adding fixupPhase there (or pretty much to any expression
lacking it) wouldn't hurt.

But I think that explicitly disabling all the phases when you don't want
them is a pain in the ass (and would require a lot of maintenance when
stdenv adds a phase).

I'd prefer a solution where hooks and fixupPhase are not "phases" but
some special things you are not supposed to touch. To me they seem to be
more of "prePhases" and "postPhases" things than "phases".

[disassembler]

If touching phases directly is deprecated, how would you go about reordering phases without manually touching the phases attribute? I'm thinking of things like python where checkInstall does tests before the installation phase, but a test requiring calling of an exucution a shell command generated (and wrapped) in the install phase that isn't created until after the install phase?

Not doable for 18.09.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
