This was used in only one place, namely builtins.fetchurl with an
expected hash. Since this can cause similar issues as described
in #9814 and #9905 with the "locked" flag for fetchTarball and fetchTree,
let's just remove it.
Note that if an expected hash is given and the hash algorithm is
SHA-256, then we will never do a download anyway if the resulting
store path already exists. So removing the "locked" flag will only
cause potentially unnecessary HTTP requests (subject to the tarball
TTL) for non-SHA-256 hashes.
* Convert all InputScheme::fetch() methods to getAccessor().
* Add checkLocks() method for checking lock attributes.
* Rename fetch() to fetchToStore().
It's better to just check whether the input has all the attributes
needed to consider itself locked (e.g. whether a Git input has an
'rev' attribute).
Also, the 'locked' field was actually incorrect for Git inputs: it
would be set to true even for dirty worktrees. As a result, we got
away with using fetchTree() internally even though fetchTree()
requires a locked input in pure mode. In particular, this allowed
'--override-input' to work by accident.
The fix is to pass a set of "overrides" to call-flake.nix for all the
unlocked inputs (i.e. the top-level flake and any --override-inputs).
There is no longer an `importTarball` method. Instead, there is a
`unpackTarfileToSink` function (back in libutil). The caller can use
thisw with the `getParseSink` method we added in the last commit easily
enough.
In addition, tarball cache functionality is separated from `git-utils`
and moved into `tarball-cache`. This ensures we are separating mechanism
and policy.
GitArchiveInputScheme now streams tarballs into a Git repository. This
deduplicates data a lot, e.g. when you're fetching different revisions
of the Nixpkgs repo. It also warns if the tree hash returned by GitHub
doesn't match the tree hash of the imported tarball.
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.
We now have `schemeName` and `allowedAttrs` functions for this purpose.
We look up the schema with the former; we restrict the set of input
attributes with the latter.
Special-casing the file name is rather ugly, so we shouldn't do
that. So now any {file,http,https} URL is handled by
TarballInputScheme, except for non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs that have
the attribute `flake = false`).
Previously, for tarball flakes, we recorded the original URL of the
tarball flake, rather than the URL to which it ultimately
redirects. Thus, a flake URL like
http://example.org/patchelf-latest.tar that redirects to
http://example.org/patchelf-<revision>.tar was not really usable. We
couldn't record the redirected URL, because sites like GitHub redirect
to CDN URLs that we can't rely on to be stable.
So now we use the redirected URL only if the server returns the
`x-nix-is-immutable` or `x-amz-meta-nix-is-immutable` headers in its
response.
If we don't have any github token, we won't be able to fetch private
repos, but we are also more likely to run into API limits since
we don't have a token. To mitigate this only ever use the github api
if we actually have a token.
nixos/nix#6290 introduced a regex pattern to account for tags when
resolving sourcehut refs. nixos/nix#4638 reafactored the code,
accidentally treating the pattern as a regular string, causing all
non-HEAD ref resolving to break.
This fixes the regression and adds more test cases to avoid future
breakage.
Since a26be9f3b8, the same parser is used
to parse the result of sourcehut’s `HEAD` endpoint (coming from [git
dumb protocol]) and the output of `git ls-remote`. However, they are very
slightly different (the former doesn’t specify the current reference
since it’s implied to be `HEAD`).
Unify both, and make the parser a bit more robust and understandable (by
making it more typed and adding tests for it)

Starting work on #5638
The exact boundary between `FetchSettings` and `EvalSettings` is not
clear to me, but that's fine. First lets clean out `libstore`, and then
worry about what, if anything, should be the separation between those
two.
Basically, if a tarball URL is used as a flake input, and the URL leads
to a redirect, the final redirect destination would be recorded as the
locked URL.
This allows tarballs under https://nixos.org/channels to be used as
flake inputs. If we, as before, lock on to the original URL it would
break every time the channel updates.
libc++10 seems to be stricter on what it allows in variant conversion.
I'm not sure what the rules are here, but this is the minimal change
needed to get through the compilation errors.
