Ana Hobden 763c1dfc2b Expand installation.md
Changes the `quick-start.md` to recommend a multi-user install, since
single-user is not supported on MacOS and https://nixos.org/download.html
recommends multi-user.

Expands `installation.md` to reflect wording on https://nixos.org/download.html

John Ericson f419ab48e6 Try to fix build failure
Failure: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/205357257/nixlog/1

The problem seems to be trying to `std::visit` a derived class of
`std::variant`. Per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63616709/incomplete-type-stdvariant-used-in-nested-name-specifier
certain C++ standard library implementations allow this, but others do
not.

The solution is simply to call the `raw` method, which upcasts the
reference back to the `std::variant`.

John Ericson a416476217 Move ValidPathInfo defintions to path-info.cc
Originally there was no `path-info.*`, then there was `path-info.hh`,
then there was `path-info.cc`, but only for new things. Moving this
stuff over makes everything consistent.
2023-01-13 15:39:19 -05:00
John Ericson 2e7be46e73 Move new ValidPathInfo methods to path-info.cc
We'll move the old ones separately, so as not to clutter the diff.

Sheng Yang 7c08144c4a Add escape for systemd service in installer script
Among all the characters that are allowed in a URL, both the percentage
sign "%" and the single quotation mark "'" needs escaping when written
as a environment variable in a systemd service file. While the single
quotation mark may be rare, the percentage sign is widely used to escape
characters in a URL. This is especially common in proxy setting, where
username and password may contain special characters that need
percentage escaping. This patch applies the following replacements:

  % -> %%
  ' -> \'

John Ericson 5ba6e5d0d9 Remove default constructor from OutputsSpec
This forces us to be explicit.

It also requires to rework how `from_json` works. A `JSON_IMPL` is added
to assist with this.

John Ericson 114a6e2b09 Make it hard to construct an empty OutputsSpec::Names
This should be a non-empty set, and so we don't want people doing this
by accident. We remove the zero-0 constructor with a little inheritance
trickery.

John Ericson ce2f91d356 Split OutputsSpec and ExtendedOutputsSpec, use the former more
`DerivedPath::Built` and `DerivationGoal` were previously using a
regular set with the convention that the empty set means all outputs.
But it is easy to forget about this rule when processing those sets.
Using `OutputSpec` forces us to get it right.

release-process: Add "create a backport label" 2023-01-12 00:19:18 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fc8d00d74 MonitorFdHup: Make it work on macOS again
It appears that on current macOS versions, our use of poll() to detect
client disconnects no longer works. As a workaround, poll() for
POLLRDNORM, since this *will* wake up when the client has
disconnected. The downside is that it also wakes up when input is
available. So just sleep for a bit in that case.  This means that on
macOS, a client disconnect may take up to a second to be detected,
but that's better than not being detected at all.

Fixes #7584.

Valentin Gagarin 2d0210472a add @Ericson2314 to the Nix team
John has been part of every meeting since the beginning.
He took on a lot of work on behalf of the team, and provided useful suggestions in discussions, advocating for stability, reasonable design decisions, and maintainable code.

He was in general highly productive within the team process, and repeatedly helped us to keep focus on our stated goals.
Specifically, early on he suggested to gather more experience with the team reviews in order derive our values for the project encode a more structured approach to guiding contributions, which is slowly bearing fruit these days.

John is already the contributor with the most code changes to date (only topped by principal author Eelco), and is well-known to be highly knowledgeable about both high-level design and low-level internals of the code base.
He has continued to offer high quality work during the team's operation, which resulted in many pull requests getting merged that further the team's goals.

It is due time for John to be come an official team member and be granted merge access that he will surely exercise with the great care he is known for.
