The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount, lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary what attributes are stored where. As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like "info": { "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github" }, is now stored as "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github", "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the API. Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy flake fetching started using fetchTree internally. |
