nix-profile.sh: Don't create .nix-channels
This is already done by the installer, so no need to do it again.

Remove world-writability from per-user directories
'nix-daemon' now creates subdirectories for users when they first
connect.

Fixes #509 (CVE-2019-17365).
Should also fix #3127.

Matthew Bauer 7c20ee448f Sync NIX_PROFILES between single-user and multi-user modes
When we are in single user mode, we still want to have access to
profiles. This way things in Nixpkgs that rely on them getting set
accurately are done in both cases. The point where I hit this is with
using aspell which looks in NIX_PROFILES:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix

Before this patch, NIX_PROFILES was never set in single user mode!
This corrects that.

Fix manpath detection
Checking for MANPATH without quotes always returns true, so that it breaks bash-completion for man pages on modern systems without MANPATH environment variable.

Frederik Rietdijk ab8ba71205 Do not export ASPELL_CONF
This does not belong in Nix. Setting this env var is already done by the aspell derivation found in Nixpkgs.

Jörg Thalheim 542fe0d8f3 nix-profile.sh: remove sbin from PATH
sbin is a symlink to bin. 
profiles only contains packages, which have this symlink. 
It is a subset of bin.

Eelco Dolstra fb2dd32100 SSL_CERT_FILE -> NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE
This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on
OS X.

Fixes #921.

Alexey Shmalko eef754813f Set $MANPATH (#1005)
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed
application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused
by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of
searching in default location.

Either of next lines workaround the issue:
```sh
unset MANPATH

export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH
```

This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has
`MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of
user's preferences.)

As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

All other places in the script do this already, so let's be consistent.

Eelco Dolstra e012c126db Revert "add the manpath to the installer"
This reverts commit 76f985b92d. We
shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations
(like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So
if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

Eelco Dolstra aac14222f5 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version
Commit 6a214f3e06 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command).  So go back to the simple single-user version.

Fixes #49.

Eelco Dolstra 2605f4f4e6 nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installations
Commit 6a214f3e06 reused the NixOS
environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is
inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.

Eelco Dolstra 591aab7e21 Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.sh
It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.

Eelco Dolstra 9811815429 * Write messages to stderr, not stdout. 2006-03-10 09:41:28 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 15ff877438 add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed
for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2005-10-11 17:30:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 66e94d3275 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.

Eelco Dolstra f899e8ce4d * Test whether the symlink, not its target, exists. 2004-01-16 15:17:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f83c5e3e5f * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
  .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
  if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)
2004-01-05 11:18:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce5fd1cc12 * Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks 
  up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another 
  glibc so loading barfs.

  Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in
  executables/libraries.  The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is 
  harder.  (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., 
  `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the 
  rpath for the libraries in LIST).  It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, 
  which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but 
  *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.

Eelco Dolstra 9c620e4afa * Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefix
etc. correctly.
