`fetchurl` will now throw if given an `md5`, and the hashes have generally
been upgraded to avoid it and use `sha256` as a default. This updates the
documentation examples in the manual accordingly.
This removes part of the PATH that were being added automatically in multi-user installs:
- $HOME/.nix-profile/lib/kde4/libexec - shouldn't be needed anymore, we are now using kde5
- @localstatedir@/nix/profiles/default/lib/kde4/libexec - same as above
- @localstatedir@/nix/profiles/default - shouldn't ever contain binaries
This is primarily because Derivation::{can,will}BuildLocally() depends
on attributes like preferLocalBuild and requiredSystemFeatures, but it
can't handle them properly because it doesn't have access to the
structured attributes.
E.g. __noChroot and allowedReferences now work correctly. We also now
check that the attribute type is correct. For instance, instead of
allowedReferences = "out";
you have to write
allowedReferences = [ "out" ];
Fixes#2453.
This meant that making a typo in an s3:// URI would cause a bucket to
be created. Also it didn't handle eventual consistency very well. Now
it's up to the user to create the bucket.
Tools which re-exec `$SHELL` or `$0` or `basename $SHELL` or even just
`bash` will otherwise get the non-interactive bash, providing a
broken shell for the same reasons described in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.

* Don't wait forever for the client to remove data from the
buffer. This does mean that the buffer can grow without bounds
(e.g. when downloading is faster than writing to disk), but meh.
* Don't hold the state lock while calling the sink. The sink could
take any amount of time to process the data (in particular when it's
actually a coroutine), so we don't want to block the download
thread.
In particular this causes copyStorePath() from HttpBinaryCacheStore to
only start a download if needed. E.g. if the destination LocalStore
goes to sleep waiting for the path lock and another process creates
the path, then LocalStore::addToStore() will never read from the
source so we don't have to do the download.
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as,
including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can
avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on
macOS is as simple as:
$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ sudo nix-env -u
$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
or
$ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
