Valentin Gagarin 61188cb820 move final template to the top
this allows readers to enter the code starting with what is visible from
the outside, instead of working themselves up from purely technical details.

Use exit instead of return in fish profile
Older versions of Fish (such as those bundled with Ubuntu LTS 22.04) do
not support return outside of functions. We need to use the equivalent
exit instead.

Adam Joseph dc205c75a2 src/libexpr/primops.cc: correct definition for intersectAttrs
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.

Matthew Bauer 6e049ae607 Allow pass max-silent-time and build-poll-interval to daemon untrusted
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.

John Ericson a2a8cb10ac Dodge "trusted" vs "trustworthy" by being explicit
Hopefully this is best!
2022-09-22 14:37:52 -04:00
John Ericson 752f967c0f "valid signature" -> "trustworthy signature"
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.

nix repl: warn if creating dir for history fails
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 a useless debug message in filetransfer.cc
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 )

Travis A. Everett 84bdb0e3ad address review feedback
Mainly:
- Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as
  a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will
  not quickly grow stale.
- Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about
  "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make
  a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests.
- Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the
  installer test section.

Adam Joseph b3550d9179 libexpr/fetchurl.nix: allow __impure fetch
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.
