I wouldn't call it *good* yet, but this will do for now.
- `RetrieveRegularNARSink` renamed to `RegularFileSink` and moved
accordingly because it actually has nothing to do with NARs in
particular.
- its `fd` field is also marked private
- `copyRecursive` introduced to dump a `SourceAccessor` into a
`ParseSink`.
- `NullParseSink` made so `ParseSink` no longer has sketchy default
methods.
This was done while updating #8918 to work with the new
`SourceAccessor`.
When receiving a stream of NARs through the ssh-ng protocol, an already
existing path would cause the NAR archive to not be read in the stream,
resulting in trying to parse the NAR as a ValidPathInfo. This results in
the error message:
error: not an absolute path: 'nix-archive-1'
Fixes#6253
Usually this problem is avoided by running QueryValidPaths before
AddMultipleToStore, but can arise when two parallel nix processes gets
the same response from QueryValidPaths. This makes the problem more
prominent when running builds in parallel.
It was initially unclear to me which of these are temporary state for
the verify paths computation, and which of these are the results of that
computation to be used in the rest of the function. Now, it is clear,
and enforced.
We don't care about non-store-paths in there (things like `.links`, are,
in fact, allowed). So let's just skip them up front and be more strongly
typed.
This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one
store, and the realisation info is in another.
This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is
now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369
we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them
all, and this problem only gets worse.
The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is
unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a
sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns.
Solving that is out of scope of this PR.
This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316
Whereas `ContentAddressWithReferences` is a sum type complex because different
varieties support different notions of reference, and
`ContentAddressMethod` is a nested enum to support that,
`ContentAddress` can be a simple pair of a method and hash.
`ContentAddress` does not need to be a sum type on the outside because
the choice of method doesn't effect what type of hashes we can use.

Previously it was not possible to open a local store when its database is on a read-only filesystem. Obviously a store on a read-only filesystem cannot be modified, but it would still be useful to be able to query it.
This change adds a new read-only setting to LocalStore. When set to true, Nix will skip operations that fail when the database is on a read-only filesystem (acquiring big-lock, schema migration, etc), and the store database will be opened in immutable mode.

This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.
We include this information in `nix ping store` and `nix doctor`

The code is not local-store-specific, so we should share it with all
stores. More uniform behavior is better, and a less store-specific
functionality is more maintainable.
This fixes a FIXME added in f73d911628 by @edolstra himself.
With the switch to C++20, the rules became more strict, and we can no
longer initialize base classes. Make them comments instead.
(BTW
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html
this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be
adopted and we can eventually use it.)
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user
profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`.
This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
`chown` them anymore (removing one need for root).
This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.
This also moves the file handle into its own Sync object so we're not
holding the _state while acquiring the file lock. There was no real
deadlock risk here since locking a newly created file cannot block,
but it's still a bit nicer.
In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.
However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.
- call close explicitly in writeFile to prevent the close exception
from being ignored
- fsync after writing schema file to flush data to disk
- fsync schema file parent to flush metadata to disk

Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).
As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.
The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
Without the change any CA deletion triggers linear scan on large
RealisationsRefs table:
sqlite>.eqp full
sqlite> delete from RealisationsRefs where realisationReference IN ( select id from Realisations where outputPath = 1234567890 );
QUERY PLAN
|--SCAN RealisationsRefs
`--LIST SUBQUERY 1
`--SEARCH Realisations USING COVERING INDEX IndexRealisationsRefsOnOutputPath (outputPath=?)
With the change it gets turned into a lookup:
sqlite> CREATE INDEX IndexRealisationsRefsRealisationReference on RealisationsRefs(realisationReference);
sqlite> delete from RealisationsRefs where realisationReference IN ( select id from Realisations where outputPath = 1234567890 );
QUERY PLAN
