Qyriad 194ba8a02f docs: guide to installables docs in installable commands' docs
The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or
docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these
commands really should at least peripherally individually document how
installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the
right place.

This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove`
and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables.

Qyriad e2ab89a74b add VM test for nix upgrade-nix
This commit adds a new NixOS VM test, which tests that `nix upgrade-nix`
works on both kinds of profiles (manifest.nix and manifest.json).

Done as a separate commit from 831d18a13, since it relies on the
--store-path argument from 026c90e5f as well.

Qyriad aae12f5848 fix nix upgrade-nix on new-style profiles
nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style
of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On
non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile`
of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working
again, without recreating the profile.

This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of
profile.

Fixes #16.

Qyriad 2bd57d4d36 refactor some nix-env and profile code to libcmd
Notably, ProfileManifest and ProfileElement are useful generic

codebase where profiles are relevant.

This commit is in preparation for fixing upgrade-nix's interaction with
new-style profiles.

puck 0c831765bd Run all derivation builders inside the sandbox on macOS
This replaces the external sandbox-exec call with direct calls into
libsandbox. This API is technically deprecated and is missing some
prototypes, but all major browsers depend on it, so it is unlikely to
materially change without warning.

This commit also ensures the netrc file is only written if the
derivation is in fact meant to be able to access the internet.

This change commits a sin of not actually actively declaring its
dependency on macOS's libsandbox.dylib; this is due to the dylib
cache in macOS making that explicit dependency unnecessary. In the
future this might become a problem, so this commit marks our sins.

Maximilian Bosch 104448e75d ssh-ng: Set log-fd for ssh to 4 by default
That's expected by `build-remote` and makes sure that errors are
correctly forwarded to the user. For instance, let's say that the
host-key of `example.org` is unknown and

    nix-build ../nixpkgs -A hello -j0 --builders 'ssh-ng://example.org'

is issued, then you get the following output:

    cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org?&': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org'
    Failed to find a machine for remote build!
    derivation: yh46gakxq3kchrbihwxvpn5bmadcw90b-hello-2.12.1.drv
    required (system, features): (x86_64-linux, [])
    2 available machines:
    [...]

The relevant information (`Host key verification failed`) ends up in the
daemon's log, but that's not very obvious considering that the daemon
isn't very chatty normally.

This can be fixed - the same way as its done for legacy-ssh - by passing
fd 4 to the SSH wrapper. Now you'd get the following error:

    cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org': Host key verification failed.
    Failed to find a machine for remote build!
    [...]

...and now it's clear what's wrong.

Please note that this is won't end up in the derivation's log.

eldritch horrors a1ad4e52a6 filetransfer: don't decompress in curl wrapper itself
only decompress the response once all data has been received (in the
fully buffered case), or at least outside of the curl wrapper itself
(in the receive-to-sink case). unfortunately this means we will have
to duplicate decompression logic for these two cases for time being,
but once the curl wrapper has been rewritten to return a real future
or Source we can deduplicate this logic again. the curl wrapper will
have to turn into a proper Source first and use decompression source
logic which also does not currently exist—only decompression *sinks*

eldritch horrors dfe3baea12 filetransfer: make two-arg download abstract
this lets each implementation of FileTransfer (of which currently only
the one exists at all) implement appropriate handling for its internal
behaviours that are not otherwise exposed. in curl this lets us switch
the buffer-full handling method from "block the entire curl thread" to
"pause just the one transfer", move the non-libcurl body decompression
out of the actual curl wrapper (which will let us eventually morph the
curl wrapper intto an actual source of Sources), and some other things

Artemis Tosini c03de0df62 gc: Find roots using libproc on Darwin
Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.

The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.

Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

Maximilian Bosch ecad3632cc justfile: allow passing args to meson compile
My main motivation for this change is to limit the amount of compile
jobs to make sure my machine is still usable for something else when
building a fresh Lix locally.

Also made `build` a dependency of `install`: this is analogous to
`make install` in CppNix where this both recompiles changed files and
installs the artifacts into `outputs/out`. May be a little more pleasant
to work with that, especially when you're used to contributing to
CppNix.

This creates new subclasses of LocalStore for each OS to include

In order to make sure that the generic LocalStore is not accidentally

implements no functionality except constructors.

Qyriad b913a939b0 meson: flip the switch!!
This commit makes Meson the default buildsystem for Lix.
The Make buildsystem is now deprecated and will be removed soon, but has
not yet, which will be done in a later commit when all seems good. The
mesonBuild jobs have been removed, and have not been replaced with
equivalent jobs to ensure the Make buildsystem still works.

The full, new commands in a development shell are:

$ meson setup ./build "--prefix=$out" $mesonFlags

(A simple `meson setup ./build` will also build, but will do a different
thing, not having the settings from package.nix applied.)

$ meson compile -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=check
$ meson install -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=installcheck

(Check and installcheck may both be done after install, allowing you to
omit the --suite argument entirely, but this is the order package.nix
runs them in.)

If tests fail and Meson helpfully has no output for why, use the
`--print-error-logs` option to `meson test`. Why this is not the default
I cannot explain.

If you change a setting in the buildsystem, most cases will
automatically regenerate the Meson configuration, but some cases, like
trying to build a specific target whose name is new to the buildsystem
(e.g. `meson compile -C build src/libmelt/libmelt.dylib`, when
`libmelt.dylib` did not exist as a target the last time the buildsystem
was generated), then you can reconfigure using new settings but
existing options, and only recompiling stuff affected by the changes:

$ meson setup --reconfigure build

Note that changes to the default values in `meson.options` or in the
`default_options :` argument to project() are NOT propagated with
`--reconfigure`.

If you want a totally clean build, you can use:

$ meson setup --wipe build

That will work regardless of if `./build` exists or not.

Specific, named targets may be addressed in
`meson build -C build <target>` with the "target ID" if there is one,
which is the first string argument passed to target functions that
have one, and unrelated to the variable name, e.g.:

libexpr_dylib = library('nixexpr', …)

can be addressed with:

$ meson compile -C build nixexpr

All targets may be addressed as their output, relative to the build
directory, e.g.:

$ meson compile -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so

But Meson does not consider intermediate files like object files
targets. To build a specific object file, use Ninja directly and
specify the output file relative to the build directory:

$ ninja -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so.p/nixexpr.cc.o

To inspect the canonical source of truth on what the state of the
buildsystem configuration is, use:

$ meson introspect

Have fun!

eldritch horrors 86bfede948 libstore: use curl functions for reading headers
don't reimplement header parsing. this was only really needed due to the
ancient github bug we no longer care about, everything else we have done
in custom code can also be done using curl itself. doing this also fixes
possible sources of header smuggling (because the header function didn't
unfold headers and we'd trim them before parsing, which would've made us
read contents of one header as a fully formed header in itself). this is
a slight behavior change because we now honor only the first instance of
a given header where previous behavior was to honor either the last or a
combination of all of them (accept-ranges was logical-or'd by accident).

this was a workaround for a *github* bug that happend *in 2015*.
not only is github no longer buggy, it shouldn't have been nix's

while we're at it we'll also remove another workaround—again for
github specifically and again for etag handling—from 2021 that's
also not needed any more. future workarounds for serverside bugs
should probably come with an expiration date that mutates into a
build warning after a while, otherwise this *will* happen again.

Alyssa Ross c1319831fb Fix exportReferencesGraph when given store subpath
With Nix 2.3, it was possible to pass a subpath of a store path to
exportReferencesGraph:

	with import <nixpkgs> {};

	let
	  hello = writeShellScriptBin "hello" ''
	    echo ${toString builtins.currentTime}
	  '';
	in

	writeClosure [ "${hello}/bin/hello" ]

This regressed with Nix 2.4, with a very confusing error message, that
presumably indicates it was unintentional:

	error: path '/nix/store/3gl7kgjr4pwf03f0x70dgx9ln3bhl7zc-hello/bin/hello' is not in the Nix store
