Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our
default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid
clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time
while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.
The symbolic form in use here doesn't seem to have an effect
in either the BSD or coreutils install commands, leaving the
daemon plist with empty permissions. This seems to cause its
own problems.
I think I've got the right symbolic syntax now :)
Same purpose as de9efa3b79af7886fcf2a67b6ce97d4f96a57421
For some unclear reason, we get occasional reports from people who do
not have /usr/sbin on their PATH that the installer fails. It's a
standard part of the PATH, so I have no clue what they're doing to
remove it--but it's also fairly cheap to avoid.
Some of the changes in #3788 to support non-systemd Nix installs
don't appear to be aware that the darwin installer exists, which
resulted in some skipped steps and inappropriate instructions.
On Catalina, the /nix filesystem might not be mounted at start time.
To avoid this service not starting, we need to keep the launch agent
outside of the Nix store. A wait4pid will hold for our /nix dir to be
mounted.
Fixes#3125.
- darwin installer: delete hardware report, not necessary
- moves os-specific code from the darwin installer to to `poly_*`
functions
- adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically
handles many distros which don't have a /etc/bashrc but do have an
/etc/profile.d
- /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash
- document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded
- rename the multi-user to Daemon-based
The installer will error out if a user's shell configuration includes any mention of ~nix-profile~, even if this is in a comment. This change is designed to do the bare minimum to ignore lines beginning with a `#`.
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say
nix build --no-sandbox
instead of
nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
