Eelco Dolstra bc259192b4 fetchGit: Return revCount for dirty working trees 2019-04-19 14:15:51 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 0cbda84f5b exportGit: Don't clone local repositories
This ensures that commands like 'nix flake info /my/nixpkgs' don't
copy a gigabyte of crap to ~/.cache/nix.

Fixes #60.

Eelco Dolstra 6a4c7fb975 Add path flakeref variant
Unlike file://<path>, this allows the path to be a dirty Git tree, so

  nix build /path/to/flake:attr

is a convenient way to test building a local flake.

Enforce use of immutable flakes in pure mode
... plus a temporary hack to allow impure flakes at top-level for the
default installation source.

fetchGit/fetchMercurial: Don't absolutize paths
This is already done by coerceToString(), provided that the argument
is a path (e.g. 'fetchGit ./bla'). It fixes the handling of URLs like
git@github.com:owner/repo.git. It breaks 'fetchGit "./bla"', but that
was never intended to work anyway and is inconsistent with other
builtin functions (e.g. 'readFile "./bla"' fails).

Graham Christensen 02098d2073 fetchGit: use a better caching scheme
The current usage technically works by putting multiple different
repos in to the same git directory. However, it is very slow as
Git tries very hard to find common commits between the two
repositories. If the two repositories are large (like Nixpkgs and
another long-running project,) it is maddeningly slow.

This change busts the cache for existing deployments, but users
will be promptly repaid in per-repository performance.

Will Dietz e89d02bf03 fetchGit: use "HEAD" as default ref 2018-02-28 16:34:34 -06:00

Add pure evaluation mode
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:

* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
  error.

* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.

* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.

* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.

* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
  fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
  not allowed.

Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    let
      nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
      nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
    in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
  )'

The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
  ')

where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.
