Valentin Gagarin f7ab93b068 manual: build action -> build task
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build
task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it
is built. also it's easier to pronounce.

proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how
to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will
be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data
structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a
serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).

Move savedArgv into libmain
`savedArgv` is not accessible by plugins when defined in main binary.
Moving it into one of the nix lib fix the problem.

Improve --profile description
2022-10-25 10:38:35 +02:00
Michal Sojka a9a868fe6a Improve --profile description
The description of the --profile option talks about the "update" operation.
This is probably meant for operations such as "nix profile install", but the
same option is reused in other subcommands, which do not update the profile,
such as "nix profile {list,history,diff-closures}".

We update the description to make sense in both contexts.

Austin Kiekintveld 8e7804273c Defer to SSH config files for ForwardAgent option
Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via
SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the
`ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line
operation always overrides those.

In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo`
and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's
`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent
forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly.

This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but
we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least
surprising for users.

sternenseemann c63646b693 tests/lang: re-enable eval-okay-eq.nix tests
This is a really old test case (which was originally written before the
proper Nix syntax). The tested deep comparison behavior was implemented
and reverted soon after due to performance problems, but it has been
restored in today's Nix again (thanks to the derivation comparison
optimization, presumably).

Johan Herland 1ec8810687 Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a
`nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around
with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix
language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.
