This integrates the functionality of the index-debuginfo program in
nixos-channel-scripts to maintain an index of DWARF debuginfo files in
a format usable by dwarffs. Thus the debug info index is updated by
Hydra rather than by the channel mirroring script.
Example usage:
$ nix copy --to 'file:///tmp/binary-cache?index-debug-info=true' /nix/store/vr9mhcch3fljzzkjld3kvkggvpq38cva-nix-2.2.2-debug
$ cat /tmp/binary-cache/debuginfo/036b210b03bad75ab2d8fc80b7a146f98e7f1ecf.debug

Fixes#3083.
So you now get
$ nix build
error: path '.' is not a flake (because it does not reference a Git repository)
rather than
$ nix build
error: unsupported argument '.'
Instead of a list, inputs are now an attrset like
inputs = {
nixpkgs.uri = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
};
If 'uri' is omitted, than the flake is a lookup in the flake registry, e.g.
inputs = {
nixpkgs = {};
};
but in that case, you can also just omit the input altogether and
specify it as an argument to the 'outputs' function, as in
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: ...
This also gets rid of 'nonFlakeInputs', which are now just a special
kind of input that have a 'flake = false' attribute, e.g.
inputs = {
someRepo = {
uri = github:example/repo;
flake = false;
};
};
Previously we allowed any length of name for Nix derivations. This is
bad because different file systems have different max lengths. To make
things predictable, I have picked a max. This was done by trying to
build this derivation:
derivation {
name = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
builder = "/no-such-path";
system = "x86_64-linux";
}
Take off one a and it will not lead to file name too long. That ends
up being 212 a’s. An even smaller max could be picked if we want to
support more file systems.
Working backwards, this is why:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-${name}.drv.chroot
> 255 - 32 - 1 - 4 - 7 = 211
These are already handled separately. This fixes warnings like
warning: ignoring the user-specified setting 'max-jobs', because it is a restricted setting and you are not a trusted user
when using the -j flag.
If a NAR is already in the store, addToStore doesn't read the source
which makes the protocol go out of sync. This happens for example when
two client try to nix-copy-closure the same derivation at the same time.
Introduce the SizeSource which allows to bound how much data is being
read from a source. It also contains a drainAll() function to discard
the rest of the source, useful to keep the nix protocol in sync.

Make curl's low speed limit configurable via stalled-download-timeout.
Before, this limit was five minutes without receiving a single byte.
This is much too long as if the remote end may not have even
acknowledged the HTTP request.
POSIX file locks are essentially incompatible with multithreading. BSD
locks have much saner semantics. We need this now that there can be
multiple concurrent LocalStore::buildPaths() invocations.
This currently fails because we're using POSIX file locks. So when the
garbage collector opens and closes its own temproots file, it causes
the lock to be released and then deleted by another GC instance.
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:
DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev
This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).
This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`

startProcess does not appear to send the exit code to the helper
correctly. Not sure why this is, but it is probably safe to just
fallback on all sandbox errors.
This ensures that stdenv / setup hooks take $IN_NIX_SHELL into
account. For example, stdenv only sets
NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/no-cert-file.crt if we're not in a shell.
When sandbox-fallback = true (the default), the Nix builder will fall
back to disabled sandbox mode when the kernel doesn’t allow users to
set it up. This prevents hard errors from occuring in tricky places,
especially the initial installer. To restore the previous behavior,
users can set:
sandbox-fallback = false
in their /etc/nix/nix.conf configuration.
Some kernels disable "unpriveleged user namespaces". This is
unfortunate, but we can still use mount namespaces. Anyway, since each
builder has its own nixbld user, we already have most of the benefits
of user namespaces.
This replaces 'nix-env --set'. For example:
$ nix build --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system \
~/Misc/eelco-configurations:nixosConfigurations.vyr.config.system.build.toplevel
updates the NixOS system profile from a flake.
This could have been a separate command (e.g. 'nix set-profile') but
1) '--profile' is pretty similar to '--out-link'; and 2) '--profile'
could be useful for other command (like 'nix dev-shell').
This is a much simpler fix to the 'error 9 while decompressing xz
file' problem than 78fa47a7f0. We just
do a ranged HTTP request starting after the data that we previously
wrote into the sink.
Fixes#2952, #379.
Our use of boost::coroutine2 depends on -lboost_context,
which in turn depends on `-lboost_thread`, which in turn depends
on `-lboost_system`.
I suspect that this builds on nix only because of low-level hacks
like NIX_LDFLAGS.
This commit passes the proper linker flags, thus fixing bootstrap
builds on non-nix distributions like Ubuntu 16.04.
With these changes, I can build Nix on Ubuntu 16.04 using:

* editline 1.14 from https://github.com/troglobit/editline/releases/tag/1.14.0
was installed into `$HOME/editline-prefix`
(because Ubuntu 16.04's `editline` is too old to have the function nix uses),
* boost 1.66 from
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
was installed into $HOME/boost-prefix (because Ubuntu 16.04 only has 1.58)

Setting `http2 = false` in nix config (e.g. /etc/nix/nix.conf)
had no effect, and `nix-env -vvvvv -i hello` still downloaded .nar
packages using HTTP/2.
In `src/libstore/download.cc`, the `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS` option was
being explicitly set when `downloadSettings.enableHttp2` was `true`,
but, `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1` option was not being explicitly set when
`downloadSettings.enableHttp2` was `false`.
This may be because `https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-env.html` states:
"You have to set this option if you want to use libcurl's HTTP/2 support."
but, also, in the changelog, states:
"DEFAULT
Since curl 7.62.0: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS
Before that: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1"
So, the default setting for `libcurl` is HTTP/2 for version >= 7.62.0.
In this commit, option `CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION` is explicitly set to
`CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1` when `downloadSettings.enableHttp2` nix config
setting is `false`.
This can be tested by running `nix-env -vvvvv -i hello | grep HTTP`
The default nsswitch.conf(5) file in most distros can handle many
different things including host name, user names, groups, etc. In Nix,
we want to limit the amount of impurities that come from these things.
As a result, we should only allow nss to be used for gethostbyname(3)
and getservent(3).

'updateCV.notify_one()' does nothing if the update thread is not
waiting for updateCV (in particular this happens when it is sleeping
on quitCV). So also set a variable to ensure that the update isn't
lost.
--no-net causes tarballTtl to be set to the largest 32-bit integer,
which causes comparison like 'time + tarballTtl < other_time' to
fail on 32-bit systems. So cast them to 64-bit first.

(cherry picked from commit 29ccb2e969)
This flag
* Disables substituters.
* Sets the tarball-ttl to infinity (ensuring e.g. that the flake
registry and any downloaded flakes are considered current).
* Disables retrying downloads and sets the connection timeout to the
minimum. (So it doesn't completely disable downloads at the moment.)
(cherry picked from commit 8ea842260b)
Once we've started writing data to a Sink, we can't restart a download
request, because then we end up writing duplicate data to the
Sink. Therefore we shouldn't handle retries in Downloader but at a
higher level (in particular, in copyStorePath()).
Fixes#2952.
(cherry picked from commit a67cf5a358)
Also, make fetchGit and fetchMercurial update allowedPaths properly.
(Maybe the evaluator, rather than the caller of the evaluator, should
apply toRealPath(), but that's a bigger change.)

This allows many programs (e.g. gcc, clang, cmake) to print colorized
log output (assuming $TERM is set to a value like "xterm").
There are other ways to get colors, in particular setting
CLICOLOR_FORCE, but they're less widely supported and can break
programs that parse tool output.
In a daemon-based Nix setup, some options cannot be overridden by a
client unless the client's user is considered trusted.
Currently, if an untrusted user tries to override one of those
options, we are silently ignoring it.
This can be pretty confusing in certain situations.
e.g. a user thinks he disabled the sandbox when in reality he did not.
We are now sending a warning message letting know the user some options
have been ignored.
Related to #1761.
This exploits the hermetic nature of flake evaluation to speed up
repeated evaluations of a flake output attribute.
For example (doing 'nix build' on an already present package):
$ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox
real 0m1.497s
user 0m1.160s
sys 0m0.139s
$ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox
real 0m0.052s
user 0m0.038s
sys 0m0.007s
The cache is ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v1.sqlite, which has entries like
INSERT INTO Attributes VALUES(
X'92a907d4efe933af2a46959b082cdff176aa5bfeb47a98fabd234809a67ab195',
'packages.firefox',
1,
'/nix/store/pbalzf8x19hckr8cwdv62rd6g0lqgc38-firefox-67.0.drv /nix/store/g6q0gx0v6xvdnizp8lrcw7c4gdkzana0-firefox-67.0 out');
where the hash 92a9... is a fingerprint over the flake store path and
the contents of the lockfile. Because flakes are evaluated in pure
mode, this uniquely identifies the evaluation result.
For the SIGWINCH signal to be caught, it needs to be set in sigaction
on the main thread. Previously, this was broken, and updateWindowSize
was never being called. Tested on macOS 10.14.
As long as the flake input is locked, it is now only fetched when it
is evaluated (e.g. "nixpkgs" is fetched when
"inputs.nixpkgs.<something>" is evaluated).
This required adding an "id" attribute to the members of "inputs" in
lockfiles, e.g.
"inputs": {
"nixpkgs/release-19.03": {
"id": "nixpkgs",
"inputs": {},
"narHash": "sha256-eYtxncIMFVmOHaHBtTdPGcs/AnJqKqA6tHCm0UmPYQU=",
"nonFlakeInputs": {},
"uri": "github:edolstra/nixpkgs/e9d5882bb861dc48f8d46960e7c820efdbe8f9c1"
}
}
because the flake ID needs to be known beforehand to construct the
"inputs" attrset.
Fixes#2913.
This is like 'nix run', except that the command to execute is defined
in a flake output, e.g.
defaultApp = {
type = "app";
program = "${packages.blender_2_80}/bin/blender";
};
Thus you can do
$ nix app blender-bin
to start Blender from the 'blender-bin' flake.
In the future, we can extend this with sandboxing. (For example we
would want to be able to specify that Blender should not have network
access by default and should only have access to certain paths in the
user's home directory.)
This is primarily useful for version string generation, where we need
a monotonically increasing number. The revcount is the preferred thing
to use, but isn't available for GitHub flakes (since it requires
fetching the entire history). The last commit timestamp OTOH can be
extracted from GitHub tarballs.
This ensures that flakes don't get garbage-collected, which is
important to get nix-channel-like behaviour.
For example, running
$ nix build hydra:
will create a GC root
~/.cache/nix/flake-closures/hydra -> /nix/store/xarfiqcwa4w8r4qpz1a769xxs8c3phgn-flake-closure
where the contents/references of the linked file in the store are the
flake source trees used by the 'hydra' flake:
/nix/store/n6d5f5lkpfjbmkyby0nlg8y1wbkmbc7i-source
/nix/store/vbkg4zy1qd29fnhflsv9k2j9jnbqd5m2-source
/nix/store/z46xni7d47s5wk694359mq9ay353ar94-source
Note that this in itself is not enough to allow offline use; the
fetcher for the flakeref (e.g. fetchGit or downloadCached) must not
fail if it cannot fetch the latest version of the file, so long as it
knows a cached version.
Issue #2868.
This causes 'nix' to print build log output to stderr rather than
showing the last log line in the progress bar. Log lines are prefixed
by the name of the derivation (minus the version string), e.g.
binutils> make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/binutils-2.31.1'
binutils-wrapper> unpacking sources
binutils-wrapper> patching sources
...
binutils-wrapper> Using dynamic linker: '/nix/store/kr51dlsj9v5cr4n8700jliyz8v5b2q7q-bootstrap-stage0-glibc/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'

It was getting confused between logical and real store paths.
Also, make fetchGit and fetchMercurial update allowedPaths properly.
(Maybe the evaluator, rather than the caller of the evaluator, should
apply toRealPath(), but that's a bigger change.)
The value of useChroot is not set yet in the constructor, resulting in
hash rewriting being enabled in certain cases where it should not be.
Fixes#2801
Sometimes, "expected" can be "0", but in fact means "unknown".
This is for example the case when downloading a file while the http
server doesn't send the `Content-Length` header, like when running `nix
build` pointing to a nixpkgs checkout streamed from GitHub:
⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello
[1.8/0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz'
In that case, don't show that weird progress bar, but only the (slowly
increasing) downloaded size ("done").
⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello
[1.8 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz'
This commit also updates fmt calls with three numbers (when something is
currently 'running' too) - I'm not sure if this can be provoked, but
showing "0" as expected doesn't make any sense, as we're obviously doing
more than nothing.
For text files it is possible to do it like so:
`builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)`
but that doesn't work for binary files.
With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed.
To determine which seccomp filters to install, we were incorrectly
using settings.thisSystem, which doesn't denote the actual system when
--system is used.
Fixes#2791.
Thus
$ nix dev-shell
will now build the 'provides.devShell' attribute from the flake in the
current directory. If it doesn't exist, it falls back to
'provides.defaultPackage'.
'nix dev-shell' is intended to replace nix-shell. It supports flakes,
e.g.
$ nix dev-shell nixpkgs:hello
starts a bash shell providing an environment for building 'hello'.
Like Lorri (and unlike nix-shell), it computes the build environment
by building a modified top-level derivation that writes the
environment after running $stdenv/setup to $out and exits. This
provides some caching, so it's faster than nix-shell in some cases
(especially for packages with lots of dependencies, where the setup
script takes a long time).
There also is a command 'nix print-dev-env' that prints out shell code
for setting up the build environment in an existing shell, e.g.
$ . <(nix print-dev-env nixpkgs:hello)
https://github.com/tweag/nix/issues/21
Example:
$ nix flake info dwarffs
ID: dwarffs
URI: github:edolstra/dwarffs/a83d182fe3fe528ed6366a5cec3458bcb1a5f6e1
Description: A filesystem that fetches DWARF debug info from the Internet on demand
Revision: a83d182fe3fe528ed6366a5cec3458bcb1a5f6e1
Path: /nix/store/grgd14kxxk8q4n503j87mpz48gcqpqw7-source
This ensures that the lock file is updated *before* evaluating it, and
that it gets updated for any nix command, not just 'nix build'.
Also, while computing the lock file, allow arbitrary registry lookups,
not just at top-level.
Also, improve some error messages slightly.
Also allow "." as an installable to refer to the flake in the current
directory. E.g.
$ nix build .
will build 'provides.defaultPackage' in the flake in the current
directory.
Unlike file://<path>, this allows the path to be a dirty Git tree, so
nix build /path/to/flake:attr
is a convenient way to test building a local flake.
The general syntax for an installable is now
<flakeref>:<attrpath>. The attrpath is relative to the flake's
'provides.packages' or 'provides' if the former doesn't yield a
result. E.g.
$ nix build nixpkgs:hello
is equivalent to
$ nix build nixpkgs:packages.hello
Also, '<flakeref>:' can be omitted, in which case it defaults to
'nixpkgs', e.g.
$ nix build hello
Scanning of /proc/<pid>/{exe,cwd} was broken because '{memory:' was
prepended twice. Also, get rid of the whole '{memory:...}' thing
because it's unnecessary, we can just list the file in /proc directly.
This new structure makes more sense as there may be many sources rooting
the same store path. Many profiles can reference the same path but this
is even more true with /proc/<pid>/maps where distinct pids can and
often do map the same store path.
This implementation is also more efficient as the `Roots` map contains
only one entry per rooted store path.
It could happen that the local builder match the system but lacks some features.
Now it results a failure.
The fix gracefully excludes the local builder from the set of available builders for derivation which requires the feature, so the derivation is built on remote builders only (as though it has incompatible system, like ```aarch64-linux``` when local is x86)
This allows using an arbitrary "provides" attribute from the specified
flake. For example:
nix build --flake nixpkgs packages.hello
(Maybe provides.packages should be used for consistency...)
We want to encourage a brave new world of hermetic evaluation for
source-level reproducibility, so flakes should not poke around in the
filesystem outside of their explicit dependencies.
Note that the default installation source remains impure in that it
can refer to mutable flakes, so "nix build nixpkgs.hello" still works
(and fetches the latest nixpkgs, unless it has been pinned by the
user).
A problem with pure evaluation is that builtins.currentSystem is
unavailable. For the moment, I've hard-coded "x86_64-linux" in the
nixpkgs flake. Eventually, "system" should be a flake function
argument.
For example, github:edolstra/dwarffs is more-or-less equivalent to
https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs.git. It's a much faster way to get
GitHub repositories: it fetches tarballs rather than entire Git
repositories. It also allows fetching specific revisions by hash
without specifying a ref (e.g. a branch name):
github:edolstra/dwarffs/41c0c1bf292ea3ac3858ff393b49ca1123dbd553
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.
Fixes#2646.
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.
With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).
Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.
Previously, plain derivation paths in the string context (e.g. those
that arose from builtins.storePath on a drv file, not those that arose
from accessing .drvPath of a derivation) were treated somewhat like
derivaiton paths derived from .drvPath, except their dependencies
weren't recursively added to the input set. With this change, such
plain derivation paths are simply treated as paths and added to the
source inputs set accordingly, simplifying context handling code and
removing the inconsistency. If drvPath-like behavior is desired, the
.drv file can be imported and then .drvPath can be accessed.
This is a backwards-incompatibility, but storePath is never used on
drv files within nixpkgs and almost never used elsewhere.
Trying to fetch refs that are not in refs/heads currently fails because
it looks for refs/heads/refs/foo instead of refs/foo.
eg.
builtins.fetchGit {
url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
ref = "refs/pull/1024/head;
}
SRI hashes (https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) combine the hash algorithm and
a base-64 hash. This allows more concise and standard hash
specifications. For example, instead of
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
sha256 = "5d22dad058d5c800d65a115f919da22938c50dd6ba98c5e3a183172d149840a4";
};
you can write
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
hash = "sha256-XSLa0FjVyADWWhFfkZ2iKTjFDda6mMXjoYMXLRSYQKQ=";
};
In fixed-output derivations, the outputHashAlgo is no longer mandatory
if outputHash specifies the hash (either as an SRI or in the old
"<type>:<hash>" format).
'nix hash-{file,path}' now print hashes in SRI format by default. I
also reverted them to use SHA-256 by default because that's what we're
using most of the time in Nixpkgs.
Suggested by @zimbatm.
Use the same output ordering and format everywhere.
This is such a common issue that we trade the single-line error message for
more readability.

Without this information the content addressable state and hashes are
lost after the first request, this causes signatures to be required for
everything even tho the path could be verified without signing.
This enables using for http for S3 request for debugging or
implementations that don't have https configured. This is not a problem
for binary caches since they should not contain sensitive information.
Both package signatures and AWS auth already protect against tampering.
The goal is to support libeditline AND libreadline and let the user
decide at compile time which one to use.
Add a compile time option to use libreadline instead of
libeditline. If compiled against libreadline completion functionality
is lost because of a incompatibility between libeditlines and
libreadlines completion function. Completion with libreadline is
possible and can be added later.
To use libreadline instead of libeditline the environment
variables 'EDITLINE_LIBS' and 'EDITLINE_CFLAGS' have to been set
during the ./configure step.
Example:
EDITLINE_LIBS="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhistory.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so"
EDITLINE_CFLAGS="-DREADLINE"
The reason for this change is that for example on Debian already three
different editline libraries exist but none of those is compatible the
flavor used by nix. My hope is that with this change it would be
easier to port nix to systems that have already libreadline available.
Previously, config would only be read from XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This change
allows reading config from additional directories, which enables e.g.
per-project binary caches or chroot stores with the help of direnv.
The use of TransferManager has several issues, including that it
doesn't allow setting a Content-Encoding without a patch, and it
doesn't handle exceptions in worker threads (causing termination on
memory allocation failure).
Fixes#2493.
This commit partially reverts 48662d151b. When
copying from an older store (in my case a store running Nix 1.11.7), nix would
throw errors about there being no hash. This is fixed by recalculating the hash.
In structured-attributes derivations, you can now specify per-output
checks such as:
outputChecks."out" = {
# The closure of 'out' must not be larger than 256 MiB.
maxClosureSize = 256 * 1024 * 1024;
# It must not refer to C compiler or to the 'dev' output.
disallowedRequisites = [ stdenv.cc "dev" ];
};
outputChecks."dev" = {
# The 'dev' output must not be larger than 128 KiB.
maxSize = 128 * 1024;
};
Also fixed a bug in allowedRequisites that caused it to ignore
self-references.
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.

Since its superclass RemoteStore::Connection contains 'to' and 'from'
fields that refer to the file descriptor maintained in the subclass,
it was possible for the flush() call in Connection::~Connection() to
write to a closed file descriptor (or worse, a file descriptor now
referencing another file). So make sure that the file descriptor
survives 'to' and 'from'.
This is primarily because Derivation::{can,will}BuildLocally() depends
on attributes like preferLocalBuild and requiredSystemFeatures, but it
can't handle them properly because it doesn't have access to the
structured attributes.
E.g. __noChroot and allowedReferences now work correctly. We also now
check that the attribute type is correct. For instance, instead of
allowedReferences = "out";
you have to write
allowedReferences = [ "out" ];
Fixes#2453.
This meant that making a typo in an s3:// URI would cause a bucket to
be created. Also it didn't handle eventual consistency very well. Now
it's up to the user to create the bucket.
Tools which re-exec `$SHELL` or `$0` or `basename $SHELL` or even just
`bash` will otherwise get the non-interactive bash, providing a
broken shell for the same reasons described in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.

Calculating roots seems significantly slower on darwin compared to
linux. Checking for /profile/ links could show some false positives but
should still catch most issues.
* Don't wait forever for the client to remove data from the
buffer. This does mean that the buffer can grow without bounds
(e.g. when downloading is faster than writing to disk), but meh.
* Don't hold the state lock while calling the sink. The sink could
take any amount of time to process the data (in particular when it's
actually a coroutine), so we don't want to block the download
thread.
In particular this causes copyStorePath() from HttpBinaryCacheStore to
only start a download if needed. E.g. if the destination LocalStore
goes to sleep waiting for the path lock and another process creates
the path, then LocalStore::addToStore() will never read from the
source so we don't have to do the download.
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as,
including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can
avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on
macOS is as simple as:
$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ sudo nix-env -u
$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
or
$ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
It's pretty easy to unintentionally install a second version of nix
into the user profile when using a daemon install. In this case it
looks like nix was upgraded while the nix-daemon is probably still
unning an older version.
A protocol mismatch can sometimes cause problems when using specific
features with an older daemon. For example:
Nix 2.0 changed the way files are compied to the store. The daemon is
backwards compatible and can still handle older clients, however a 1.11
nix-daemon isn't forwards compatible.
