The problem fixed: each nix-shell invocation creates a new temporary
directory (`/tmp/nix-shell-*`) and never cleans up.
And while I'm here, shellescape all variables inlined into the rcfile.
See what might happen without escaping:
$ export TZ="';echo pwned'"
$ nix-shell -p hello --run hello
pwned
Hello, world!
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default,
then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These
can be merged into one point for clarity.
- The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.
Includes the expression of the condition in the assertion message if
the assertion failed, making assertions much easier to debug. eg.
error: assertion (withPython -> (python2Packages != null)) failed at pkgs/tools/security/nmap/default.nix:11:1
As fromTOML supports \u and \U escapes, bring fromJSON on par. As JSON defaults
to UTF-8 encoding (every JSON parser must support UTF-8), this change parses the
`\u hex hex hex hex` sequence (\u followed by 4 hexadecimal digits) into an
UTF-8 representation.
Add a test to verify correct parsing, using all escape sequences from json.org.
This prevents them from being inlined. On gcc 9, this reduces the
stack size needed for
nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A texlive.combined.scheme-full --dry-run
from 12.9 MiB to 4.8 MiB.
Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
This was tough to debug, I didn't figure out which one was broken until I did:
nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv 2>&1 | grep nix/store | xargs -n1 nix-store -r
and then looking at the remaining build graph:
$ nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv
these derivations will be built:

/nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv
error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
and knowing the initrd build is before the system, then:
$ nix show-derivation /nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv
{
"/nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv": {

"exportReferencesGraph": "closure-init-0 /nix/store/...-stage-1-init.sh closure-mdadm.conf-1 /nix/store/...-mdadm.conf closure-ubuntu.conf-2 ...",
[...]
}
}
I then searched the repo for "in 'exportReferencesGraph'", found this
recently updated regex, and realized it was missing a "-".

I've seen complaints that "sandbox" caused problems under WSL but I'm
having no problems. I think recent changes could have fixed the issue.
This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.
$ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
--substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'
Fixes#3264.
