816031173c Fix the 2.13 changelog
It is just the new CLI that gets the `^` syntax. The old CLI already has
a (slightly different) `!` syntax.

Fixes #7682

153ee460c5 primop: add readFileType, optimize readDir
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.

This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.

Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.

move unsafeDiscardReferences out of outputChecks

unsafeDiscardReferences
Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning
an output for runtime references.

    __structuredAttrs = true;
    outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;

This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.

Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.

c164d304f3 nix develop: Set personality
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way
that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop
nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.

Linus Heckemann
8e0946e8df Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:

- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
  repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.

If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.

Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:

- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
  file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
  `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
  `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
  the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
  the `tarball+` part removed)

Fix #3785

f25112d383 fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPaths
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:

[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
