While trying to use an alternate directory for my Nix installation, I
noticed that nix's output didn't reflect the updated state
directory. This patch corrects that and now prints the warning before
attempting to create the directory (if the directory creation fails,
it wouldn't have been obvious why nix was attempting to create the
directory in the first place).
With this patch, I now get the following warning:
warning: '/home/deck/.var/app/org.nixos.nix/var/nix' does not
exist, so Nix will use '/home/deck/.local/share/nix/root' as a
chroot store
The documentation for `parseDrvName` does not agree with the implementation when
the derivation name contains a dash which is followed by something that is
neither a letter nor a digit. This commit corrects the documentation to agree
with the implementation.
The current definition of `intersectAttrs` is incorrect:
> Return a set consisting of the attributes in the set e2 that also exist in the
> set e1.
Recall that (Nix manual, section 5.1):
> An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called attributes)
According to the existing description of `intersectAttrs`, the following should
evaluate to the empty set, since no key-value *pair* (i.e. attribute) exists in
both sets:
```
builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
```
And yet:
```
nix-repl> builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
{ x = "foo"; }
```
Clearly the intent here was for the *names* of the resulting attribute set to be
the intersection of the *names* of the two arguments, and for the values of the
resulting attribute set to be the values from the second argument.
This commit corrects the definition, making it match the implementation and intent.
Make sure that people who run Nix in non-interactive mode (and so don't have the possibility to interactively accept the individual flake configuration settings) are aware of this flag.
Fix#7086
These settings seem harmless, they control the same polling
functionality that timeout does, but with different behavior. Should
be safe for untrusted users to pass in.
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.
The history is not critical to the functionality of nix repl, so it's
enough to warn here, rather than refuse to start if the directory Nix
thinks the history should live in can't be created.

Remove the `verify TLS: Nix CA file = 'blah'` message that Nix used to print when fetching anything as it's both useless (`libcurl` prints the same info in its logs) and misleading (gives the impression that a new TLS connection is being established which might not be the case because of multiplexing. See #7011 )
This commit adds an optional `__impure` parameter to fetchurl.nix, which allows
the caller to use `libfetcher`'s fetcher in an impure derivation. This allows
nixpkgs' patch-normalizing fetcher (fetchpatch) to be rewritten to use nix's
internal fetchurl, thereby eliminating the awkward "you can't use fetchpatch
here" banners scattered all over the place.

Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).
As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.
The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
Stdenv sets this to a bash that doesn't have readline/completion
support, so running 'nix (develop|shell)' inside a 'nix develop' gives
you a crippled shell. So let's just ignore the derivation's $SHELL.
This could break interactive use of build phases that use $SHELL, but
they appear to be fairly rare.
Disables the SA_RESTART behavior on macOS which causes:

From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART
This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon
socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result,
checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received
by the signal handler thread.
On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects
other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now.
readDerivation is pretty slow, and while it may not be significant for
some use cases, on things like ghc-nix where we have thousands of
derivations is really slows things down.
So, this just doesn’t do the impure derivation check if the impure
derivation experimental feature is disabled. Perhaps we could cache
the result of isPure() and keep the check, but this is a quick fix to
for the slowdown introduced with impure derivations features in 2.8.0.
