1362a0a55a Fix logic for default XDG_DATA_DIRS value
The [POSIX test manpage](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html)
as well as the [fish test manpage](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/test.html#operators-for-text-strings)
specify that `-z` will be "True if the length of string string is zero;
otherwise, false."

The `-n` was likely a mixup and not caught during testing of
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8985 due to a lack of missing
conflicting entries in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.

867f894289 Populate $XDG_DATA_DIRS with appropriate folder from Nix profile
On non-NixOS systems, the default `nix` install does not populate the
`$XDG_DATA_DIRS`. This populates it and enables things like bash-completion
and `.desktop` file detection for `nix` profile installed packages.

Merge pull request #7925 from cole-h/fixup-xdg-nix-env
Check if NIX_LINK_NEW exists instead of checking that NIX_LINK doesn't exist

2b801d6e3c Check if NIX_LINK_NEW exists instead of checking that NIX_LINK doesn't exist
For brand new installations, neither NIX_LINK_NEW
(`$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` or `~/.local/state/nix/profile`), nor
NIX_LINK (`~/.nix-profile`) will exist.

This restores functionality to nix-env, which is relied upon by GitHub
Actions such as https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action and the Nixpkgs
EditorConfig (and other) CI.

24eaa086f0 nix-profile{,-daemon}.sh.in: Allow XDG_STATE_HOME to be unset
One of our CI machines installs Nix via the official script and then
sources the nix-profile.sh script to setup the environment. However, it
doesn't have XDG_STATE_HOME set, which causes sourcing the script to
fail.

A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standard
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:

- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels

This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:

- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels

If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

8ebdbeb257 Add fish suport to installer
Before this patch, installing Nix using the Fish shell did not
work because Fish wasn't configured to add Nix to the PATH. Some
options in #1512 offered workarounds, but they typically involve
extra plugins or packages.

This patch adds native, out-of-the-box support for the Fish shell.

Note that Fish supports a `conf.d` directory, which is intended
for exactly use cases like this: software projects distributing
shell snippets. This patch takes advantage of it. The installer
doesn't append any Nix loader behavior to any Fish config file.
Because of that, the uninstall process is smooth and a reinstall
obliterates the existing nix.fish files that we place instead of
bothering the user with a backup / manual removal.

Both single-user and multi-user cases are covered. It has been
tested on Ubuntu, and a Mac with MacPorts, homebrew, and the
Fish installer pkg.

Closes #1512

44b7d104b4 Document usage of MANPATH in nix-profile.sh
While trying to figure out how `nix-env`/`nix profile` work I had a hard
time understand how man pages were being installed.

Took me quite some time to figure this out, thought it might be useful
to others too!

7c20ee448f Sync NIX_PROFILES between single-user and multi-user modes
When we are in single user mode, we still want to have access to
profiles. This way things in Nixpkgs that rely on them getting set
accurately are done in both cases. The point where I hit this is with
using aspell which looks in NIX_PROFILES:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix

Before this patch, NIX_PROFILES was never set in single user mode!
This corrects that.

ab8ba71205 Do not export ASPELL_CONF

eef754813f Set $MANPATH (#1005)
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed
application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused
by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of
searching in default location.

Either of next lines workaround the issue:
```sh
unset MANPATH

export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH
```

This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has
`MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of
user's preferences.)

As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

e012c126db Revert "add the manpath to the installer"
This reverts commit 76f985b92d. We
shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations
(like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So
if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

aac14222f5 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version
Commit 6a214f3e06 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command).  So go back to the simple single-user version.

Fixes #49.

66e94d3275 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.

f83c5e3e5f * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
  .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
  if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)
