Делаем AppImage средствами Nix

«И что это я, в самом деле, всё про QEMU да про QEMU? Давайте я вам лучше про AppImage расскажу. Короче, случай из жизни nix». (c)

Для сборки QEMU с своими доработками (новые машины, tcg-code-quality, i2c-remote-master, GPIO наружу через GUSE и прочее) у каждого коллеги свой путь: кто-то собирает сам, кто-то берёт готовый бинарник у соседа, кто-то сидит на дистрибутиве, где glib на три года старше, чем нужно, а студенты вообще не хотят ничего собирать сами...

Хотелось простого: один файл, который скачал, сделал chmod +x и запустил. На любом x86_64 Linux, без root, без установки пакетов и без «а у меня не собирается». При этом сама сборка должна быть воспроизводимой, а не «собрано на ноутбуке у Пети».

Ниже история о том, как из этого получился небольшой flake, который собирает QEMU через Nix и упаковывает его в AppImage. Здесь я покажу как подписывать образы, обновлять их дельтами и подсовывать QEMU свою, экспериментальную libfuse так, чтобы она использовалась только для QEMU.

Rare love letters to French aristocrat shed light on Louis XVI maritime mystery

‘Miracle’ cache of letters written by French scientist who died in ill-fated La Pérouse mission give personal account of 1785 voyage

As he prepared to climb the scaffolding to be publicly executed by guillotine on 21 January 1793, Louis XVI is reported to have asked: “Is there news of Monsieur de la Pérouse?”

He was referring to Jean-François de Galaup, the count of Pérouse, a naval officer and navigator whom the French king had dispatched in 1785 on a round-the-world scientific mission to rival discoveries made by the English explorer Captain James Cook.

The shocking rise of rib remodelling: ‘I wanted that hourglass shape’

It involves the fracturing of a patient’s ribs, before they spend three months laced into a corset. Some of those who have had this cosmetic procedure say it is like being ‘hit by a bus’. Why is it becoming more popular?

Daniela Cesin was 14 when she began thinking about her looks. “I was a little bit chubby and I started to work out at home and lose weight. I saw the difference in my body: my abs, the muscles in my arms, and I started liking it,” she says. By 31, she had the slim, toned body she had hoped for, but something was still missing. “I wanted to have that guitar hourglass shape.”

In August, Cesin travelled from Miami, where she has lived for the past 15 years, to her native Venezuela for liposuction and a fat transfer to her hips. She met her cosmetic surgeon for the first time the day before the procedure, and he realised she didn’t have enough fat to go ahead with it. Instead, he offered to perform RibXcar: a rib remodelling surgery that would involve fracturing three of her lower ribs on each side and binding them in a corset for three months, to set the ribs in a new position and give her a wasplike waist.
