I'm afraid I missed a few problematic `git(1)`-calls while implementing
PR #6440, sorry for that! Upon investigating what went wrong, I realized
that I only tested against the "cached"-case by accident because my
git-checkout with my system's flake was apparently cached during my
debugging.
I managed to trigger the original issue again by running:
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "tmp"
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# -L --builders ''
Since `repoDir` points to the checkout that's potentially owned by
another user, I decided to add `--git-dir` to each call affecting
`repoDir`.
Since the `tmpDir` for the temporary submodule-checkout is created by
Nix itself, it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Sorry for that, it should be fine now.
The previous head caching implementation stored two paths in the local
cache; one for the cached git repo and another textfile containing the
resolved HEAD ref. This commit instead stores the resolved HEAD by
setting the HEAD ref in the local cache appropriately.
A mips64el Linux MIPS kernel can execute userspace code using any of
three ABIs:
mips64el-linux-*abin64
mips64el-linux-*abin32
mipsel-linux-*
The first of these is the native 64-bit ABI, and the only ABI with
64-bit pointers; this is sometimes called "n64". The last of these is
the old legacy 32-bit ABI, whose binaries can execute natively on
32-bit MIPS hardware; this is sometimes called "o32".
The second ABI, "n32" is essentially the 64-bit ABI with 32-bit
pointers and address space. Hardware 64-bit integer/floating
arithmetic is still allowed, as well as the much larger mips64
register set and more-efficient calling convention.
Let's enable seccomp filters for all of these. Likewise for big
endian (mips64-linux-*).
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes#6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.
this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.
