Federico Pellegrin d536c57e87 Docs build: depend on locally built nix executable and not installed one
Previously many of the documentation targets were depending on
`$(bindir)/nix` which is the installed version. This meant that its
install rules would be triggered (which in chain would also trigger the
install of libraries, as reported in #5140). Therefore a build of the
documentation without an installation would not be possible (which apart
from doing unwanted operations it may also generate permission problems
for example).

The fix makes the rules depend on `$(nix_PATH)` instead, which is the
executable in the build tree.

John Ericson 52e0911302 Use buildprefix in a few more places
`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.

Valentin Gagarin 2b7016cc56 add path based redirects
up to now, those were managed outside of this repo, which as
unsurprisingly a real hassle to deal with if one wanted to prevent URLs
from breaking when moving pages around. this change removes a large part
of the friction involved in moving content in the Nix manual.

possible next steps for further automation:
- check for content that moved and warn if it's not reachable from
  links that were valid prior to a change
- create redirect rules automatically based on this information

John Ericson 9afa697ab6 Refactor bash test build system a bit
The basic idea here is to separate a few intertwined notions:

1. Not all "run bash tests" are "install tests"

2. Not all "run bash tests" use `tests/functional/init.sh`, or any
   pre-test initialization at all.

This will used in the next commit when we have a test that check unit
test golden master data.

Also, move our custom `PS4` from the test to the test runner, as it is
part of how we want to display the tests, not the test themselves.

John Ericson f0adb72c23 Mark fetchTree as unstable again
As discussed in our last meeting, we need a bit more time, but we are
"time boxing" the work left to do to ensure there is not unbounded
delay.

Rather than putting it back underneath `flakes`, though, put it
underneath its own `fetch-tree` experimental feature (which `flakes`
includes/implies). This signals our commitment to the plan to stabilize
it first without waiting to go through the rest of Flakes, and also will
give users a "release candidate" when we get closer to stabilization.

This reverts commit 4112dd1fc9.

John Ericson cc46ea1630 Make nix path-info --json return an object not array
Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.

This matches how `nix derivation show` works.

Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.

document the store concept (#9206)
* document the store concept and its purpose

reword the glossary to link to more existing information instead of
repeating it.

move the store documentation to the top of the table of contents, in
front of the Nix language. this will provide a natural place to
document other aspects of the store as well as the various store types.

move the package management section after the Nix language and before
Advanced Topics to follow the pattern to layer more complex concepts on
top of each other.

this structure of the manual will also nudge beginners to learn Nix
bottom-up and hopefully make more likely that they understand underlying
concepts first before delving into complex use cases that may or may not
be easy to implement with what's currently there.

[John adds this note] The sort of beginner who likes to dive straight into reference documentation should prefer this approach. Conversely, the sort of beginner who would prefer the opposite top-down approach of trying to solve problems before they understand everything that is going on is better off reading other tutorial/guide material anyways, and will just "random-access" the reference manual as a last resort. For such random-access the order doesn't matter, so this restructure doesn't make them any worse off.

Add a new experimental `impure-env` setting that is a key-value list of
environment variables to inject into FOD derivations that specify the
corresponding `impureEnvVars`.

This allows clients to make use of this feature (without having to change the
environment of the daemon itself) and might eventually deprecate the current
behaviour (pick whatever is in the environment of the daemon) as it's more
principled and might prevent information leakage.

John Ericson be81764320 Factor out bits of the worker protocol to use elsewhere
This introduces some shared infrastructure for our notion of protocols.
We can then define multiple protocols in terms of that notion.
We an also express how particular protocols depend on each other.

For example, we can define a common protocol and a worker protocol,
where the second depends on the first in terms of the data types it can
read and write.

The "serve" protocol can just use the common one for now, but will
eventually need its own machinary just like the worker protocol for
version-aware serialisers

John Ericson 2f0b508c29 Get rid of bootstrap.sh
For people working on Nix with `nix develop`, it's better to just use
`autoreconfPhase` and `configurePhase`, which is standard Nixpkgs / nix
shell make from Nixpkgs practice --- it is good to emphasize the degree
to which Nix is *just* a regular C++ project which can be worked on in
the regular way.

(For people running `nix-shell`, the story is similar, except
`configurePhase` would use non-writable store paths, which matters for
hte times we use output paths before `make install`, so I kept the
existing `./configure ...` instruction.)

For people building Nix without Nix (e.g. packaging it for another
distro) they also don't need `bootstrap.sh`, and can just run
`autoreconf -vfi` directly. (More likely, they have their own idioms to
do this just as we have `autoreconfPhase`.)

John Ericson 68c81c7375 Put functional tests in tests/functional
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests

 - Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
   unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
   integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
   clear.

 - Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
   filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
   the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
   structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
   of the files.

With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests

functional/
installer/
nixos/
```

Maximilian Bosch bfdd908f7d structured attrs: improve support / usage of NIX_ATTRS_{SH,JSON}_FILE
In #4770 I implemented proper `nix-shell(1)` support for derivations
using `__structuredAttrs = true;`. Back then we decided to introduce two
new environment variables, `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` for `.attrs.sh` and
`NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` for `.attrs.json`. This was to avoid having to
copy these files to `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` in a `nix-shell(1)` session which
effectively meant copying these files to the project dir without
cleaning up afterwords[1].

On last NixCon I resumed hacking on `__structuredAttrs = true;` by
default for `nixpkgs` with a few other folks and getting back to it,
I identified a few problems with the how it's used in `nixpkgs`:

* A lot of builders in `nixpkgs` don't care about the env vars and
  assume that `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are in `$NIX_BUILD_TOP`.
  The sole reason why this works is that `nix-shell(1)` sources
  the contents of `.attrs.sh` and then sources `$stdenv/setup` if it
  exists. This may not be pretty, but it mostly works. One notable
  difference when using nixpkgs' stdenv as of now is however that
  `$__structuredAttrs` is set to `1` on regular builds, but set to
  an empty string in a shell session.

  Also, `.attrs.json` cannot be used in shell sessions because
  it can only be accessed by `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` and not by
  `$NIX_BUILD_TOP/.attrs.json`.

  I considered changing Nix to be compatible with what nixpkgs
  effectively does, but then we'd have to either move $NIX_BUILD_TOP for
  shell sessions to a temporary location (and thus breaking a lot of
  assumptions) or we'd reintroduce all the problems we solved back then
  by using these two env vars.

  This is partly because I didn't document these variables back
  then (mea culpa), so I decided to drop all mentions of
  `.attrs.{json,sh}` in the  manual and only refer to `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE`
  and `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE`. The same applies to all our integration tests.
  Theoretically we could deprecated using `"$NIX_BUILD_TOP"/.attrs.sh` in
  the future now.

* `nix develop` and `nix print-dev-env` don't support this environment
  variable at all even though they're supposed to be part of the replacement
  for `nix-shell` - for the drv debugging part to be precise.

  This isn't a big deal for the vast majority of derivations, i.e.
  derivations relying on nixpkgs' `stdenv` wiring things together
  properly. This is because `nix develop` effectively "clones" the
  derivation and replaces the builder with a script that dumps all of
  the environment, shell variables, functions etc, so the state of
  structured attrs being "sourced" is transmitted into the dev shell and
  most of the time you don't need to worry about `.attrs.sh` not
  existing because the shell is correctly configured and the

      if [ -e .attrs.sh ]; then source .attrs.sh; fi

  is simply omitted.

  However, this will break when having a derivation that reads e.g. from
  `.attrs.json` like

      with import <nixpkgs> {};
      runCommand "foo" { __structuredAttrs = true; foo.bar = 23; } ''
        cat $NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE # doesn't work because it points to /build/.attrs.json
      ''

  To work around this I employed a similar approach as it exists for
  `nix-shell`: the `NIX_ATTRS_{JSON,SH}_FILE` vars are replaced with
  temporary locations.

  The contents of `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are now written into the
  JSON by `get-env.sh`, the builder that `nix develop` injects into the
  derivation it's debugging. So finally the exact file contents are
  present and exported by `nix develop`.

  I also made `.attrs.json` a JSON string in the JSON printed by
  `get-env.sh` on purpose because then it's not necessary to serialize
  the object structure again. `nix develop` only needs the JSON
  as string because it's only written into the temporary file.

  I'm not entirely sure if it makes sense to also use a temporary
  location for `nix print-dev-env` (rather than just skipping the
  rewrite in there), but this would probably break certain cases where
  it's relied upon `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` to exist (prime example are the
  `nix print-dev-env` test-cases I wrote in this patch using
  `tests/shell.nix`, these would fail because the env var exists, but it
  cannot read from it).
