The goal is to support libeditline AND libreadline and let the user
decide at compile time which one to use.
Add a compile time option to use libreadline instead of
libeditline. If compiled against libreadline completion functionality
is lost because of a incompatibility between libeditlines and
libreadlines completion function. Completion with libreadline is
possible and can be added later.
To use libreadline instead of libeditline the environment
variables 'EDITLINE_LIBS' and 'EDITLINE_CFLAGS' have to been set
during the ./configure step.
Example:
EDITLINE_LIBS="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhistory.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so"
EDITLINE_CFLAGS="-DREADLINE"
The reason for this change is that for example on Debian already three
different editline libraries exist but none of those is compatible the
flavor used by nix. My hope is that with this change it would be
easier to port nix to systems that have already libreadline available.
Previously, config would only be read from XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This change
allows reading config from additional directories, which enables e.g.
per-project binary caches or chroot stores with the help of direnv.
The use of TransferManager has several issues, including that it
doesn't allow setting a Content-Encoding without a patch, and it
doesn't handle exceptions in worker threads (causing termination on
memory allocation failure).
Fixes#2493.
This commit partially reverts 48662d151b. When
copying from an older store (in my case a store running Nix 1.11.7), nix would
throw errors about there being no hash. This is fixed by recalculating the hash.
In structured-attributes derivations, you can now specify per-output
checks such as:
outputChecks."out" = {
# The closure of 'out' must not be larger than 256 MiB.
maxClosureSize = 256 * 1024 * 1024;
# It must not refer to C compiler or to the 'dev' output.
disallowedRequisites = [ stdenv.cc "dev" ];
};
outputChecks."dev" = {
# The 'dev' output must not be larger than 128 KiB.
maxSize = 128 * 1024;
};
Also fixed a bug in allowedRequisites that caused it to ignore
self-references.
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.

Since its superclass RemoteStore::Connection contains 'to' and 'from'
fields that refer to the file descriptor maintained in the subclass,
it was possible for the flush() call in Connection::~Connection() to
write to a closed file descriptor (or worse, a file descriptor now
referencing another file). So make sure that the file descriptor
survives 'to' and 'from'.
This is primarily because Derivation::{can,will}BuildLocally() depends
on attributes like preferLocalBuild and requiredSystemFeatures, but it
can't handle them properly because it doesn't have access to the
structured attributes.
E.g. __noChroot and allowedReferences now work correctly. We also now
check that the attribute type is correct. For instance, instead of
allowedReferences = "out";
you have to write
allowedReferences = [ "out" ];
Fixes#2453.
This meant that making a typo in an s3:// URI would cause a bucket to
be created. Also it didn't handle eventual consistency very well. Now
it's up to the user to create the bucket.
Tools which re-exec `$SHELL` or `$0` or `basename $SHELL` or even just
`bash` will otherwise get the non-interactive bash, providing a
broken shell for the same reasons described in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.

Calculating roots seems significantly slower on darwin compared to
linux. Checking for /profile/ links could show some false positives but
should still catch most issues.
* Don't wait forever for the client to remove data from the
buffer. This does mean that the buffer can grow without bounds
(e.g. when downloading is faster than writing to disk), but meh.
* Don't hold the state lock while calling the sink. The sink could
take any amount of time to process the data (in particular when it's
actually a coroutine), so we don't want to block the download
thread.
In particular this causes copyStorePath() from HttpBinaryCacheStore to
only start a download if needed. E.g. if the destination LocalStore
goes to sleep waiting for the path lock and another process creates
the path, then LocalStore::addToStore() will never read from the
source so we don't have to do the download.
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as,
including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can
avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on
macOS is as simple as:
$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ sudo nix-env -u
$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
or
$ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
It's pretty easy to unintentionally install a second version of nix
into the user profile when using a daemon install. In this case it
looks like nix was upgraded while the nix-daemon is probably still
unning an older version.
A protocol mismatch can sometimes cause problems when using specific
features with an older daemon. For example:
Nix 2.0 changed the way files are compied to the store. The daemon is
backwards compatible and can still handle older clients, however a 1.11
nix-daemon isn't forwards compatible.
This is already done by coerceToString(), provided that the argument
is a path (e.g. 'fetchGit ./bla'). It fixes the handling of URLs like
git@github.com:owner/repo.git. It breaks 'fetchGit "./bla"', but that
was never intended to work anyway and is inconsistent with other
builtin functions (e.g. 'readFile "./bla"' fails).
E.g.
$ nix upgrade-nix
error: directory '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/bin' does not appear to be part of a Nix profile
instead of
$ nix upgrade-nix
error: '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst' is not a symlink
Fix a 32-bit overflow that resulted in negative numbers being printed;
use fmt() instead of boost::format(); change -H to -h for consistency
with 'ls' and 'du'; make the columns narrower (since they can't be
bigger than 1024.0).
If the user has an object greater than 1024 yottabytes, it'll just display it as
N yottabytes instead of overflowing.
Swaps to use boost::format strings instead of std::setw and std::setprecision.
Using a 64bit integer on 32bit systems will come with a bit of a
performance overhead, but given that Nix doesn't use a lot of integers
compared to other types, I think the overhead is negligible also
considering that 32bit systems are in decline.
The biggest advantage however is that when we use a consistent integer
size across all platforms it's less likely that we miss things that we
break due to that. One example would be:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44233
On Hydra it will evaluate, because the evaluator runs on a 64bit
machine, but when evaluating the same on a 32bit machine it will fail,
so using 64bit integers should make that consistent.
While the change of the type in value.hh is rather easy to do, we have a
few more options available for doing the conversion in the lexer:
* Via an #ifdef on the architecture and using strtol() or strtoll()
accordingly depending on which architecture we are. For the #ifdef
we would need another AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF in configure.ac.
* Using istringstream, which would involve copying the value.
* As we're already using boost, lexical_cast might be a good idea.
Spoiler: I went for the latter, first of all because lexical_cast does
have an overload for const char* and second of all, because it doesn't
involve copying around the input string. Also, because istringstream
seems to come with a bigger overhead than boost::lexical_cast:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/boost_lexical_cast/performance.html
The first method (still using strtol/strtoll) also wasn't something I
pursued further, because it is also locale-aware which I doubt is what
we want, given that the regex for int is [0-9]+.
