A modern, delicious implementation of the Nix package manager, focused on correctness, usability, and growth — and committed to doing right by its community
Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the
stack, the change introduced in commit 4ec87742a1
accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the
decompressor. Since the former is much smaller (usually 8 bytes instead of 64
kilobytes), this is safe, but leads to considerable overhead; most notably, due
to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper
buffer size instead.
