This change provides support for using access tokens with other
instances of GitHub and GitLab beyond just github.com and
gitlab.com (especially company-specific or foundation-specific
instances).
This change also provides the ability to specify the type of access
token being used, where different types may have different handling,
based on the forge type.
Since 108debef6f we allow a
`url`-attribute for the `github`-fetcher to fetch tarballs from
self-hosted `gitlab`/`github` instances.
However it's not used when defining e.g. a flake-input
foobar = {
type = "github";
url = "gitlab.myserver";
/* ... */
}
and breaks with an evaluation-error:
error: --- Error --------------------------------------nix
unsupported input attribute 'url'
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This patch allows flake-inputs to be fetched from self-hosted instances
as well.
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires
authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request
fails with a 404.
This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API.
It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the
user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header.
The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed
in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.
Directly register the store classes rather than a function to build an
instance of them.
This gives the possibility to introspect static members of the class or
choose different ways of instantiating them.
When the log.showSignature git setting is enabled, the output of
"git log" contains signature verification information in addition to the
timestamp GitInputScheme::fetch wants:
$ git log -1 --format=%ct
gpg: Signature made Sat 07 Sep 2019 02:02:03 PM PDT
gpg: using RSA key 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567
gpg: issuer "user@example.com"
gpg: Good signature from "User <user@example.com>" [ultimate] 1567890123
1567890123
For folks that had log.showSignature set, this caused all nix operations
on flakes to fail:
$ nix build
error: stoull
The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that
supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to
actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper
over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes.
This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by
incorporating the following changes:
* Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an
alias on the `fetchTree` implementation.
* Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a
content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the
latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility).
* The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it
usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix.
* Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API
is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should
remain usable without any feature-flags.
* It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a
`ref` or a `rev` is given[4].
* It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing,
`file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original
`fetchGit`-implementation.

Until now, the `gitlab`-fetcher determined the source's rev by checking
the latest commit of the given `ref` using the
`/repository/branches`-API.
This breaks however when trying to fetch a gitlab-repo by its tag:
```
$ nix repl
nix-repl> builtins.fetchTree gitlab:Ma27/nvim.nix/0.2.0
error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
unable to download 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/Ma27%2Fnvim.nix/repository/branches/0.2.0': HTTP error 404 ('')
```
When using the `/commits?ref_name`-endpoint[1] you can pass any kind of
valid ref to the `gitlab`-fetcher.
Please note that this fetches the only first 20 commits on a ref,
unfortunately there's currently no endpoint which only retrieves the
latest commit of any kind of `ref`.
