I think that it's not very helpful to get "cached failures" in a wrong
`flake.nix`. This can be very confusing when debugging a Nix expression.
See for instance NixOS/nixpkgs#118115.
In fact, the eval cache allows a forced reevaluation which is used for
e.g. `nix eval`.
This change makes sure that this is the case for `nix build` as well. So
rather than
λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
error: cached failure of attribute 'defaultPackage.x86_64-linux'
the evaluation of already-evaluated (and failed) attributes looks like
this now:
λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
error: attribute 'hell' missing
at /nix/store/mrnvi9ss8zn5wj6gpn4bcd68vbh42mfh-source/flake.nix:6:35:
5|
6| packages.x86_64-linux.hello = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hell;
| ^

If there were many top-level goals (which are not destroyed until the
very end), commands like
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' \
/run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination
could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit
cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from
their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
These are by no means part of the notion of a store, but rather are
things that happen to use stores. (Or put another way, there's no way
we'd make them virtual methods any time soon.) It's better to move them
out of that too-big class then.
Also, this helps us remove StorePathWithOutputs from the Store interface
altogether next commit.
This fixes builtins.fetchGit { url = ...; ref = "HEAD"; }, that works in
stable nix (v2.3.10), but is broken in nix master:
$ ./result/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix version 2.4pre19700101_dd77f71. Type :? for help.
nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix"; ref = "HEAD"; }
fetching Git repository 'https://github.com/NixOS/nix'fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/HEAD
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128
The documentation for builtins.fetchGit says ref = "HEAD" is the
default, so it should also be supported to explicitly pass it.
I came across this issue because poetry2nix can use ref = "HEAD" in some
situations.
Fixes#4674.
A few versioning mistakes were corrected:
- In 27b5747ca7, Daemon protocol had some
version `>= 0xc` that should have been `>= 0x1c`, or `28` since the
other conditions used decimal.
- In a2b69660a9, legacy SSH gated new CAS
info on version 6, but version 5 in the server. It is now 6
everywhere.
Additionally, legacy ssh was sending over more metadata than the daemon
one was. The daemon now sends that data too.

According to RFC4007[1], IPv6 addresses can have a so-called zone_id
separated from the actual address with `%` as delimiter. In contrast to
Nix 2.3, the version on `master` doesn't recognize it as such:
$ nix ping-store --store ssh://root@fe80::1%18 --experimental-features nix-command
warning: 'ping-store' is a deprecated alias for 'store ping'
error: --- Error ----------------------------------------------------------------- nix
don't know how to open Nix store 'ssh://root@fe80::1%18'
I modified the IPv6 match-regex accordingly to optionally detect this
part of the address. As we don't seem to do anything special with it, I
decided to leave it as part of the URL for now.
Fixes#4490

I guess the rationale behind the old name wath that
`pathInfoIsTrusted(info)` returns `true` iff we would need to `blindly`
trust the path (because it has no valid signature and `requireSigs` is
set), but I find it to be a really confusing footgun because it's quite
natural to give it the opposite meaning.
