It is dead code. It was added in
8e0946e8df as part of the repeated /
enforce-determinism feature, but that was removed in
8fdd156a65.
It is not good because it skips many fields. For testing purposes we
will soon want to add a new one that doesn't skip fields, but we want to
make sure making == sensitive to those fields won't change how Nix
works. Proving in this commit that the old version is dead code achieves
that.
hashBase is ambiguous, since it's not about the digital bases, but about
the format of hashes. Base16, Base32 and Base64 are all character maps
for binary encoding.
Rename the enum Base to HashFormat.
Rename variables of type HashFormat from [hash]Base to hashFormat,
including CmdHashBase::hashFormat and CmdToBase::hashFormat.
This will allow us to factor out logic, which is currently scattered
inline, into several reusable instances
The tests are also updated to support versioning. Currently all Worker
and Serve protocol tests are using the minimum version, since no
version-specific serialisers have been created yet. But in subsequent
commits when that changes, we will test individual versions to ensure
complete coverage.
Two changes:
* The (probably unintentional) hack to handle paths as tarballs has
been removed. This is almost certainly not what users expect and is
inconsistent with flakeref handling everywhere else.
* The hack to support scp-style Git URLs has been moved to the Git
fetcher, so it's now supported not just by fetchTree but by flake
inputs.
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.
To start, it is just a clone of the common protocol. But now that we
have the separate protocol implementations, we can add versioning
information without the versions of one protocol leaking into another.
Using the infrastructure from the previous commit, we don't have to
duplicate code for shared behavior.
Motivation: No more perverse incentives. [0] did some awkward things
because the serialisers did not store the version. I don't want anyone
making changes to be pushed towards keeping the serialization logic with
the core data types just because it's easier or the alternative is
tedious.
The actual versioning of the Worker and Serve protocol serialisers
(Common remains unversioned as the underlying mini-protocols are not
versioned) will happen in subsequent commits / PRs.

Copy the relevant tests to ensure the new interfaces added in the last
commit are tested.
Perhaps I should try to deduplicat these tests some more. However its
not clear how to do that outside of a big ugly C++ macro.
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/docs/advanced.md has some
stuff but it is cumbersome and I didn't figure it out yet.
This is done in a separate commit in order to be sure that the first
commit really didn't change any behavior; if we changed the
implementation and the tests at once, it would be harder to tell whether
or not some behavioral changes slipped in what is supposed to be a "pure
refactor".

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
