In the process, partially undo e89b5bd0bf
in that the ancient < 2.4 version is now supported again by the
serializer again. `LegacySSHStore`, instead of also asserting that the
version is at least 4, just checks that `narHash` is set.
This allows us to better test the serializer in isolation for both
versions (< 4 and >= 4).
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.
The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.
This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

The problem was that f880469173 forgot
that the `#include <sys/xattr.h>` was guarded by an `#ifdef __linux__`.
However, the build failure was only on FreeBSD --- turns out other
platforms have this header too!
The fix therefore uses a new configure check so we properly clear ACLs
on more platforms.
`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.
Progress on #9342

It is not inherently tied to `LocalStore`, it could probably even go in
`libnixutil`. Functions not attached to `LocalStore` should not be
declared in `local-store.hh`.
I am moving it to facilitate experimenting for #9344. If
canonicalisation should be done client-side in client-side builds, there
wouldn't be a `LocalStore` at all so having to include that header to
get this freestanding function is cumbersome and wrong.
Perhaps canonicalisation should still be done server-side for security
reasons --- I don't mean to make that judgement call now --- but even if
so, this freestanding function still isn't connected to `LocalStore` so
while less urgent it is still better to move out of this header.
This avoids repeated copying of the same source tree between Nix
invocations. It requires the accessor to have a "fingerprint" (e.g. a
Git revision) that uniquely determines its contents.
Closes#9343
See that issue for motivation.
Installing these is disabled by default, but we enable it (and the
additional output we want isntall these too so as not to clutter the
existing ones) to use in cross builds and dev shells.
Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.
This matches how `nix derivation show` works.
Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.
`Store::pathInfoToJSON` was a rather baroque functions, being full of
parameters to support both parsed derivations and `nix path-info`. The
common core of each, a simple `dValidPathInfo::toJSON` function, is
factored out, but the rest of the logic is just duplicated and then
specialized to its use-case (at which point it is no longer that
duplicated).
This keeps the human oriented CLI logic (which is currently unstable)
and the core domain logic (export reference graphs with structured
attrs, which is stable), separate, which I think is better.
Spent a while debugging why `nix-copy-closure` wasn't working anymore
and it was my shell RC printing something I added for debug.
Hopefully this can save someone else some time.
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
When doing local builds, we get phase reporting lines in the log file,
they look like '@nix {"action":"setPhase","phase":"unpackPhase"}'.
With the ssh-ng protocol, we do have access to these messages, but since we
are only including messages of type resBuildLogLine in the logs, the phase
information does not end up in the log file.
The phase reporting could probably be improved altoghether (it looks like it
is kind of accidental that these JSON messages for phase reporting show up
but others don't, just because they are actually emitted by nixpkgs' stdenv),
but as a first step I propose to make ssh-ng behave in the same way as local builds do.
Deduplicating code moreover enforcing the pattern means:
- It is easier to write new characterization tests because less boilerplate
- It is harder to mess up new tests because there are fewer places to
make mistakes.

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`.
The brings a number of advantages, including:
- Easier to update test data if design changes (and I do think our
derivation JSON is not yet complaint with the guidelines).
- Easier to reuse test data in other implementations, inching closer to
compliance tests for Nix *the concept* rather than any one
implementation.
Before the change builder ID exhaustion printed the following message:
[0/1 built] waiting for UID to build '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
After the change it should be:
[0/1 built] waiting for a free build user ID for '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
Rather than having a misc tutorial page in the grab-bag "package management" section, this information should just be part of the S3 store docs.

It does not belong with the data type itself.
This also materializes the fact that `copyPath` does not do any version
negotiation just just hard-codes "16".
The non-standard interface of these serializers makes it harder to test,
but this is fixed in the next commit which then adds those tests.
Worker Protocol:
Note that the worker protocol already had a serialization for
`BuildResult`; this was added in
a4604f1928. It didn't have any versioning
support because at that time reusable seralizers were not away for the protocol
version. It could thus only be used for new messages also introduced in
that commit.
Now that we do support versioning in reusable serializers, we can expand
it to support all known versions and use it in many more places.
The exist test data becomes the version 1.29 tests: note that those
files' contents are unchanged. 1.28 and 1.27 tests are added to cover
the older code-paths.
The keyered build result test only has 1.29 because the keying was also
added in a4604f19284254ac98f19a13ff7c2216de7fe176; the older
serializations are always used unkeyed.
Serve Protocol:
Conversely, no attempt was made to factor out such a serializer for the
serve protocol, so our work there in this commit for that protocol
proceeds from scratch.
It was some ad-hoc functions to account for versions, while the already
factored-out serializer just supported the latest version.
Now, we can fold that version-specific logic into the factored out one,
and so we do.
It is dead code. It was added in
8e0946e8df as part of the repeated /
enforce-determinism feature, but that was removed in
8fdd156a65.
It is not good because it skips many fields. For testing purposes we
will soon want to add a new one that doesn't skip fields, but we want to
make sure making == sensitive to those fields won't change how Nix
works. Proving in this commit that the old version is dead code achieves
that.
hashBase is ambiguous, since it's not about the digital bases, but about
the format of hashes. Base16, Base32 and Base64 are all character maps
for binary encoding.
Rename the enum Base to HashFormat.
Rename variables of type HashFormat from [hash]Base to hashFormat,
including CmdHashBase::hashFormat and CmdToBase::hashFormat.
This will allow us to factor out logic, which is currently scattered
inline, into several reusable instances
The tests are also updated to support versioning. Currently all Worker
and Serve protocol tests are using the minimum version, since no
version-specific serialisers have been created yet. But in subsequent
commits when that changes, we will test individual versions to ensure
complete coverage.

This is work towards allowing users to change the location of chrootRootDir, to, for example, a tmpfs.
inspired by trofi on matrix
> It looks like build sandbox created by nix-daemon runs on the same filesystem, as /nix/store including things like /tmp which makes all small temporary files hit the disk. Is it intentional? If it is is there an easy way to redirect chroot's root to be tmpfs?
