Nix's own flake: Dedup and memoize more
...
- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs.
- The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static.
- DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.

Follow XDG Base Directory standard
2023-02-10 18:05:50 +01:00
Alexander Bantyev
2384d36083
A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standard
...
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

primop: add readFileType, optimize readDir
...
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.

Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning

__structuredAttrs = true;
outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;
This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.
Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.

Make ./mk/run-test.sh

...
First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread
between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a
little easier.
This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to
debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling.
See the updated manual for details.

this is a follow-up on e7dcacb

most links are relative and this should not be too much of a detriment.

use HTML anchors for config parameters
...
this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown`
neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML.
this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors
would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.

Post build hook signing ( #7408 )
...
* docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks
The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build
hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned
store paths being copied into binary caches. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details.
Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all
locally-built derivations with the private key.

Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options
...
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:
- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.
If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

disallow selecting shell prompt in code samples
...
this is a quick half-fix for command line examples, as discussed
discussed in [1].
[1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7389
examples which look like this
$ foo bar
baz
are confusing for Unix shell beginners, because it's hard to discern
what is supposed to be entered into the actual command line when the
convention of prefixing `$` is not known, as barely any real-world shell
looks that way any more.
this change prevents selecting the prompt part with the mouse in the
HTML representation of the Nix manual.
it does not prevent selecting the output part of the shell example.
it also does not address that the copy button provided by mdBook takes
the entire sample, including the prompts, into the clipboard.
