This way the links are clearly within the manual (ie not absolute paths), while allowing snippets to reference the documentation root reliably, regardless of at which base url they're included.

mdbook-linkcheck is not consistent about its warning setting. It disables some warnings, but not the warnings about lack of fragment checking support; hence the extra filtering.
2023-01-10Parse string context elements properlyJohn Ericson
Prior to this change, we had a bunch of ad-hoc string manipulation code scattered around. This made it hard to figure out what data model for string contexts is. Now, we still store string contexts most of the time as encoded strings --- I was wary of the performance implications of changing that --- but whenever we parse them we do so only through the `NixStringContextElem::parse` method, which handles all cases. This creates a data type that is very similar to `DerivedPath` but: - Represents the funky `=<drvpath>` case as properly distinct from the others. - Only encodes a single output, no wildcards and no set, for the "built" case. (I would like to deprecate `=<path>`, after which we are in spitting distance of `DerivedPath` and could maybe get away with fewer types, but that is another topic for another day.)
2023-01-10Make clear that `StorePathWithOutputs` is a deprecated typeJohn Ericson
- Add a comment - Put `OutputsSpec` in a different header (First part of #6815) - Make a few stray uses of it in new code use `DerivedPath` instead.

2023-01-05On macOS with auto-uid-allocation and sandboxing, use the correct gidEelco Dolstra
macOS doesn't have user namespacing, so the gid of the builder needs to be nixbld. The logic got "has sandboxing enabled" confused with "has user namespaces". Fixes #7529.

This basically reverts 6e5165b77370c76bfa39d4b55e9f83673f3bd466. It fixes errors like sandbox-exec: <internal init prelude>:292:47: unable to open sandbox-minimal.sb: not found when trying to run a development Nix installed in a user's home directory. Also, we're trying to minimize the number of installed files to make it possible to deploy Nix as a single statically-linked binary.
2023-01-03Fix Nix installation on older versions of fishAlexandre Thomas
The `fish_add_path` function is only available for fish 3.2.0 or newer, and not on older versions. This commit adds an alternative way to update the PATH when `fish_add_path` does not exist.

2023-01-03Fix deadlock between auto-GC and addTempRoot()Eelco Dolstra
Previously addTempRoot() acquired the LocalStore state lock and waited for the garbage collector to reply. If the garbage collector is in the same process (as it the case with auto-GC), this would deadlock as soon as the garbage collector thread needs the LocalStore state lock. So now addTempRoot() uses separate Syncs for the state that it needs. As long at the auto-GC thread doesn't call addTempRoot() (which it shouldn't), it shouldn't deadlock. Fixes #3224.
2023-01-03Move creation of the temp roots file into its own functionEelco Dolstra
This also moves the file handle into its own Sync object so we're not holding the _state while acquiring the file lock. There was no real deadlock risk here since locking a newly created file cannot block, but it's still a bit nicer.
