This allows to have a repl-centric workflow to working on nixpkgs.
Usage:
:edit <package> - heuristic that find the package file path
:edit <path> - just open the editor on the file path
Once invoked, `nix repl` will open $EDITOR on that file path. Once the
editor exits, `nix repl` will automatically reload itself.
Previously, SANDBOX_SHELL was set to empty when unavailable. This
caused issues when actually generating the sandbox. Instead, just set
SANDBOX_SHELL when --with-sandbox-shell= is non-empty. Alternative
implementation to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3038.
Pure mode should not try to source the user’s bashrc file. These may
have many impurities that the user does not expect to get into their
shell.
Fixes#3090
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
{"archive":"../nar/0313h2kdhk4v73xna9ysiksp2v8xrsk5xsw79mmwr3rg7byb4ka8.nar.xz","member":"lib/debug/.build-id/03/6b210b03bad75ab2d8fc80b7a146f98e7f1ecf.debug"}
Fixes#3083.
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
