There are some downsides to this features:
- Submodules are not cached (unlike the root repo),
- Full checkouts are created in a temporary directory.

installer: Fix terminal colors.
|
|
The install-multi-user script uses blue, green, and red colors, as
well as bold and underline, to add helpful formatting that helps
structure its rather voluminous output.
Unfortunately, the terminal escape sequences it uses are not quite
well-formed. The relevant information is all there, just obscured
by some extra noise, a leading parameter `38`. Empirically, the
result is:
* On macOS, in both Terminal.app and iTerm2, the spurious `38` is
ignored, the rest of the escape sequence is applied, and the colors
show up as intended.
* On Linux, in at least gnome-terminal and xterm, the spurious `38`
and the next parameter after it are ignored, and what's left is
applied. So in the sequence `38;4;32`, the 4 (underline) is
ignored but the 32 (green) takes effect; in a more typical sequence
like `38;34`, the 34 (blue) is ignored and nothing happens.
These codes are all unchanged since this script's origins as a
Darwin-only script -- so the fact that they work fine in common macOS
terminals goes some way to explain how the bug arose.
Happily, we can make the colors work as intended by just deleting the
extra `38;`. Tested in all four terminals mentioned above; the new
codes work correctly on all of them, and on the two macOS terminals
they work exactly the same as before.
---
In a bit more technical detail -- perhaps more than anyone, me
included, ever wanted to know, but now that I've gone and learned it
I'll write it down anyway :) -- here's what's happening in these codes:
An ECMA-48 "control sequence" begins with `\033[` aka "CSI", contains
any number of parameters as semicolon-separated decimal numbers (plus
sometimes other wrinkles), and ends with a byte from 0x40..0x7e. In
our case, with `m` aka "SGR", "Select Graphic Rendition".
An SGR control sequence `\033[...m` sets colors, fonts, text styles,
etc. In particular a parameter `31` means red, `32` green, `34` blue,
`4` underline, and `0` means reset to normal. Those are all we use.
There is also a `38`. This is used for setting colors too... but it
needs arguments. `38;5;nn` is color nn from a 256-color palette, and
`38;2;rr;gg;bb` has the given RGB values.
There is no meaning defined for `38;1` or `38;34` etc. On seeing a
parameter `38` followed by an unrecognized argument for it, apparently
some implementations (as seen on macOS) discard only the `38` and
others (as seen on Linux) discard the argument too before resuming.

doc: Files in the store have modes 444/555, not 644/755
|
|
This line has been this way since it was written, in 9e08f5efe
in 2006.
I think it was just a small mistake then; Eelco's thesis earlier
that year says the permission on each file is set to 0444 or 0555
in a derivation's output as part of the build process. In any
case I'm pretty sure that's the behavior now.

installer: Set files read-only when copying into store
|
|
darwin sandbox
|
|
After installing Nix, I found that all the files and directories
initially copied into the store were writable, with mode 644 or 755:
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 /nix/store/ddmmzn4ggz1f66lwxjy64n89864yj9w9-nix-2.3.3
The reason is that that's how they were in the unpacked tarball, and
the install-multi-user script used `rsync -p` without doing anything
else to affect the permissions.
The plain `install` script for a single-user install takes care to
do a `chmod -R a-w` on each store path copied. We could do the same
here with one more command; or we can pass `--chmod` to rsync, to
have it write the files with the desired modes in the first place.
Tested the new `rsync` command on both a Linux machine with a
reasonably-modern rsync (3.1.3) and a Mac with its default, ancient,
rsync 2.6.9, and it works as expected on both. Thankfully the latter
is just new enough to have `--chmod`, which dates to rsync 2.6.7.

installer: also test for xz to unpack
|
|
|
|
Sadly 10.15 changed /bin/sh to a shim which executes bash, this means it
can't be used anymore without also opening up the sandbox to allow bash.
Failed to exec /bin/bash as variant for /bin/sh (1: Operation not permitted).
|
|
Nix now runs builds with a pseudo-terminal to enable colored build
output.
|
|
|
|
This is used to determine the dependency tree of impure libraries so nix
knows what paths to open in the sandbox. With the less restrictive
defaults it isn't needed anymore.

Remove the --delete option for --gc. Fixes #3343
|
|
Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail
because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation.
$ nix-store --gc --delete
error: only one operation may be specified
Try 'nix-store --help' for more information.
Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was
released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend
on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit
simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference
in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact
same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references
to the (now gone) --delete option.
Other information:

Unless the 'tested' job in the Nixpkgs/NixOS jobsets, this job isn't
actually used for anything (e.g. we don't update a channel based on
whether 'release' succeeds).
|
|
Remove the tarball job
|
|
Source tarballs are not very useful anymore. People who want to build
from source can also just build from the Git repository. Once upon a
time, the source tarball also saved users from needing a few
dependencies (e.g. bison and flex) but those are dwarfed by the other
dependencies, so it's no longer worth it.
Note: the release script should be updated to copy the vendoredCrates
tarball.

This file is licensed under the GPL. Originally, Nix was also
GPL-licensed so that was fine. However, we later changed the license
to the LGPL but missed the fact that style.css has an incompatible
license.
Since the Nix manual at nixos.org uses its own styling, we can remove
this file.
Fixes #3392.
