Support SRI hashes
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.

Support base-64 hashes
Also simplify the Hash API.

Eelco Dolstra 6f1743b1a5 Support SHA-512 hashes
Fixes .

Note: on x86_64, SHA-512 is considerably faster than SHA-256 (198 MB/s
versus 131 MB/s).

Eelco Dolstra ea402a255f Replace "make check" with "make installcheck"
Ensuring that the tests work from the build tree requires a growing
number of nasty hacks.  The tests also don't verify that the installed
Nix actually works.  Thus, the tests now require "make install" to
have been run.

Eelco Dolstra 8af7d766f0 * Refactoring: remove unnecessary variables from the tests. 2011-10-10 21:32:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 485d71c54a * Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: echo -n foo' suddenly prints -n foo'
instead of `foo' without a newline (with /bin/sh, not /bin/bash,
  even though /bin/sh is also bash...).  So use printf instead.

broken on Mac OS X.
