This makes 'nix flake' less cluttered and more consistent (it's only
subcommands that operator on a flake). Also, the registry is not
inherently flake-related (e.g. fetchTree could also use it to remap
inputs).
This completes flakerefs using the registry (e.g. 'nix<TAB>' => 'nix
nixpkgs') and flake output attributes by evaluating the flake
(e.g. 'dwarffs#nix<TAB>' => 'dwarffs#nixosModules').
InstallableValue has children InstallableFlake and InstallableAttrPath, but InstallableFlake was overriding toDerivations, and usage was changed so that InstallableFlake didn't need cmd. So these changes were made:
InstallableValue::toDerivations() -> InstalllableAttrPath::toDerivations()
InstallableValue::cmd -> InstallableAttrPath::cmd
InstallableValue uses state instead of cmd
toBuildables() and toDerivations() were made abstract
The raw stderr output isn't logged anymore so the build logs need to be
printed by the default logger in order for the old commands like
nix-build to still show build output.
For remote stores the log messages are already forwarded as structured
STDERR_RESULT messages so the old format is duplicate information. But
still included with -vvv since it could be useful for debugging
problems.
$ nix build -L /nix/store/nl71b2niws857ffiaggyrkjwgx9jjzc0-foo.drv --store ssh-ng://localhost
Hello World!
foo> Hello World!
[1/0/1 built] building foo
Fixes#3556
When used with `readFile`, we have a pretty good heuristic of the file
size, so `reserve` this in the `string`. This will save some allocation
/ copy when the string is growing.
This means you now get an error message *before* stuff gets built:
$ nix copy .#hydraJobs.vendoredCrates
error: you must pass '--from' and/or '--to'
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
The commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.
