Nix's own flake: Dedup and memoize more 
- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs.

- The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static.

- DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.

Improve hacking.md 
- Refer to current version in readme
- Split into flakes and non-flakes section
- Change order to move nix-build to the end, since people often start
  with it in the beginning.
- Use proper "Note" syntax
- Add notes about editor integration
- Move information about target platforms and stdenvs into separate
  sections

Merge pull request #5588 from tweag/balsoft/xdg 
Follow XDG Base Directory standard
 2023-02-10 18:05:50 +01:00
Alexander Bantyev
2384d36083
A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standard 
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:

- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels

This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:

- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels

If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

153ee460c5 primop: add readFileType, optimize readDir 
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.

This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.

Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.

unsafeDiscardReferences 
Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning
an output for runtime references.

    __structuredAttrs = true;
    outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;

This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.

Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.

0251d44cc2 Make ./mk/run-test.sh work by itself; add mk/debug-test.sh 
First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread
between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a
little easier.

This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to
debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling.
See the updated manual for details.

b8a1ff98c1 use HTML anchors for config parameters 
this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown`
neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML.

this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors
would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.

Post build hook signing (#7408) 
* docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks

The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build
hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned
store paths being copied into binary caches. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details.

Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all
locally-built derivations with the private key.

8e0946e8df Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options 
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:

- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
  repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.

If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

f7ab93b068 manual: build action -> build task 
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build
task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it
is built. also it's easier to pronounce.

proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how
to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will
be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data
structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a
serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).

1ec8810687 Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths 
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a
`nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around
with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix
language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

84bdb0e3ad address review feedback 
Mainly:
- Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as
  a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will
  not quickly grow stale.
- Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about
  "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make
  a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests.
- Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the
  installer test section.
