Use `$(libdir)` while installing .pc files looks like a more generic
solution. For example, it will work for distributions like RHEL or
Fedora where .pc files are installed in `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig`.
This replaces the O(n) search complexity in our insert code with a
lookup of O(log n). It also makes removing waitees easier as we can use
the extract method provided by the set class.
Previously the code ensures that the isBase32 array would only be
initialised once in a single-threaded context. If two threads happen to
call the function before the initialisation was completed both of them
would have completed the initialization step. This allowed for a
race-condition where one thread might be done with the initialization
but the other thread sets all the fields to false again. For a brief
moment the base32 detection would then produce false-negatives.
`nix-shell --pure` when applied to a non stdenv derivation doesn't seem
to clear the PATH. It expects the stdenv/setup file to do so.
This adds an explicit `unset PATH` by nix-build.cc (nix-shell) itself so
that it's not reliant on stdenv/setup anymore.
This does not break impure nix-shell since the PATH is persisted as the
variable `p` prior in the bash rcfile
fixes#5092
Previously, despite having a boolean that tracked initialization, the
decode characters have been "calculated" every single time a base64
string was being decoded.
With this change we only initialize the decode array once in a
thread-safe manner.
The experimental features are, well, experimental, and shouldn’t be
carelessly and transparently enabled.
Besides, some (`ca-derivations` at least) need to be enabled at startup
in order to work properly.
So it’s better to just require that daemon be started with the right
`experimental-features` option.
Fix#5017
This adds a new store operation 'addMultipleToStore' that reads a
number of NARs and ValidPathInfos from a Source, allowing any number
of store paths to be copied in a single call. This is much faster on
high-latency links when copying a lot of small files, like .drv
closures.
For example, on a connection with an 50 ms delay:
Before:
$ nix copy --to 'unix:///tmp/proxy-socket?root=/tmp/dest-chroot' \
/nix/store/90jjw94xiyg5drj70whm9yll6xjj0ca9-hello-2.10.drv \
--derivation --no-check-sigs
real 0m57.868s
user 0m0.103s
sys 0m0.056s
After:
real 0m0.690s
user 0m0.017s
sys 0m0.011s
Otherwise I get a compiler error when building for NetBSD:
src/libutil/util.cc: In function 'void nix::_deletePath(const Path&, uint64_t&)':

With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the
destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths()
reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the
destination store if it needs to build a derivation.
Issue #5025.
In particular, this now works:
$ nix path-info --eval-store auto --store https://cache.nixos.org nixpkgs#hello
Previously this would fail as it would try to upload the hello .drv to
cache.nixos.org. Now the .drv is instantiated in the local store, and
then we check for the existence of the outputs in cache.nixos.org.
It supports functions as well. Also change `package` to
`derivation` because it operates at the language level and does
not open the derivation (which would be useful but not nearly
as much).
It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a
derivation path. Instead it works at the language level,
where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to
distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an
attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
Some people want to avoid using registries at all on their system; Instead
of having to add --no-registries to every command, this commit allows to
set use-registries = false in the config. --no-registries is still allowed
everywhere it was allowed previously, but is now deprecated.

- This can legitimately happen (for example because of a non-determinism
causing a build-time dependency to be kept or not as a runtime
reference)
- Because of older Nix versions, it can happen that we encounter a
realisation with an (erroneously) empty set of dependencies, in which
case we don’t want to fail, but just warn the user and try to fix it.
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the nix subprocesses in the repl
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available.
This is required for example to make `nix repl` work with a custom
`--store`
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before

'--delete-older-than 10' deletes the generations older than a single day, and '--delete-older-than 12m' deletes all generations older than 12 days.
This changes makes it throw on those invalid inputs, and gives an example of a valid input.
We need to support it for the “old” fetch* functions for backwards
compatibility, but we don’t need it for fetchTree (as it’s a new
function).
Given that changing the `name` messes-up the content hashing, we can
just forbid passing a custom `name` argument to it
