John Ericson a2a8cb10ac Dodge "trusted" vs "trustworthy" by being explicit
Hopefully this is best!
2022-09-22 14:37:52 -04:00
John Ericson 752f967c0f "valid signature" -> "trustworthy signature"
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.

What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.

I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.

nix repl: warn if creating dir for history fails
The history is not critical to the functionality of nix repl, so it's
enough to warn here, rather than refuse to start if the directory Nix
thinks the history should live in can't be created.

Valentin Gagarin 4b11c22386 issue template: fill 'about' field
according to [GitHub documentation] some fields are required.
`about` is not listed, but it probably is required.

Remove a useless debug message in filetransfer.cc
Remove the `verify TLS: Nix CA file = 'blah'` message that Nix used to print when fetching anything as it's both useless (`libcurl` prints the same info in its logs) and misleading (gives the impression that a new TLS connection is being established which might not be the case because of multiplexing. See #7011 )

Travis A. Everett 84bdb0e3ad address review feedback
Mainly:
- Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as
  a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will
  not quickly grow stale.
- Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about
  "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make
  a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests.
- Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the
  installer test section.

Adam Joseph b3550d9179 libexpr/fetchurl.nix: allow __impure fetch
This commit adds an optional `__impure` parameter to fetchurl.nix, which allows
the caller to use `libfetcher`'s fetcher in an impure derivation.  This allows
nixpkgs' patch-normalizing fetcher (fetchpatch) to be rewritten to use nix's
internal fetchurl, thereby eliminating the awkward "you can't use fetchpatch
here" banners scattered all over the place.

Ana Hobden 8ebdbeb257 Add fish suport to installer
Before this patch, installing Nix using the Fish shell did not
work because Fish wasn't configured to add Nix to the PATH. Some
options in #1512 offered workarounds, but they typically involve
extra plugins or packages.

This patch adds native, out-of-the-box support for the Fish shell.

Note that Fish supports a `conf.d` directory, which is intended
for exactly use cases like this: software projects distributing
shell snippets. This patch takes advantage of it. The installer
doesn't append any Nix loader behavior to any Fish config file.
Because of that, the uninstall process is smooth and a reinstall
obliterates the existing nix.fish files that we place instead of
bothering the user with a backup / manual removal.

Both single-user and multi-user cases are covered. It has been
tested on Ubuntu, and a Mac with MacPorts, homebrew, and the
Fish installer pkg.

Closes #1512
