This was previously done in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4515 but
got clobbered away in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4594.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fixes an issue where derivations with a primary output that is
not "out" would fail with:
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#sqlite
error: opening directory '/nix/store/2a2ydlgyydly5czcc8lg12n6qqkfz863-sqlite-3.34.1-bin': No such file or directory
This happens because while derivations produce every output when
built, you might not have them if you didn't build the derivation
yourself (for instance, the store path was fetch from a binary cache).
This uses outputName provided from DerivationInfo which appears to
match the first output of the derivation.
This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).
Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!
I guess I misunderstood John's initial explanation about why wildcards
for outputs are sent to older stores[1]. My `nix-daemon` from 2021-03-26
also has version 1.29, but misses the wildcard[2]. So bumping seems to
be the right call.

Starting in macOS 11, the on-disk dylib bundles are no longer available,
but nixpkgs needs to be able to keep compatibility with older versions
that require `/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib` in `__impureHostDeps`. Allow
it to keep backwards compatibility with these versions by marking these
dependencies as optional.
Fixes#4658.
As described in #4745 it's otherwise fairly hard to understand where
this is coming from. Say you have an expression which uses e.g.
`types.package`:
``` nix
{ outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.x86_64-linux.hello = let
foo = nixpkgs.lib.evalModules {
modules = [
{
options.foo.bar = with nixpkgs.lib; mkOption { type = types.package; };
}
{
foo.bar = ./.;
}
];
};
in builtins.trace foo.config.foo.bar.outPath nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello;
defaultPackage.x86_64-linux = self.packages.x86_64-linux.hello;
};
}
```
Then you'll get an error trace like this:
```

They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).
This function doesn't support all compression methods (i.e. 'none' and
'br') so it shouldn't be exposed.
Also restore the original decompress() as a wrapper around
makeDecompressionSink().
The S3 store relies on the ability to be able to decompress things with
an empty method, because it just passes the value of the Content-Encoding
directly to decompress.
If the file is not compressed, then this will cause the compression
routine to get confused.
This caused NixOS/nixpkgs#120120.
This makes Nix look up paths derivations when they are passed as a
store paths. So:
$ nix path-info --derivation /nix/store/0pisd259nldh8yfjvw663mspm60cn5v8-hello-2.10
now gives
/nix/store/qp724w90516n4bk5r9gfb37vzmqdh3z7-hello-2.10.drv
instead of "".
If no deriver is available, Nix now errors instead of silently
ignoring that argument.
In case of pure input-addressed derivations, the build loop doesn't
guaranty that the realisations are stored in the db (if the output paths
are already there or can be substituted, the realisations won't be
registered). This caused `nix shell` to fail in some cases because it
was assuming that the realisations were always existing.
A better (but more involved) fix would probably to ensure that we always
register the realisations, but in the meantime this patches the surface
issue.
Fix#4721
I think that it's not very helpful to get "cached failures" in a wrong
`flake.nix`. This can be very confusing when debugging a Nix expression.
See for instance NixOS/nixpkgs#118115.
In fact, the eval cache allows a forced reevaluation which is used for
e.g. `nix eval`.
This change makes sure that this is the case for `nix build` as well. So
rather than
λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
error: cached failure of attribute 'defaultPackage.x86_64-linux'
the evaluation of already-evaluated (and failed) attributes looks like
this now:
λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
error: attribute 'hell' missing
