2023-04-28display documentation on manifest files separatelyValentin Gagarin
it's probably better not to show the manifest file documentation in the command-specific pages, because these are implementation details that are not really practically useful. this means no additional hassle for building the manual, but clutters the table of contents a bit.

Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contexts
2023-04-21Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contextsJohn Ericson
Motivation `PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms (`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths. Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using `StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`. ----- In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as `std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices. Summarizing the previous paragraph: Old: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` New: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` ---- The string representation of string context elements no longer contains the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing that file first. This was done for two reasons: Less API churn: `Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without adding that argument. That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply drop the store dir. Space usage: Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving could add up to something significant. ---- The eval cache version is bumped. The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that means the on-disk representation is also changed. This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`. ---- To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that string in the context. Context This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context` as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts. The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left as future work. This is that future work. A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]` evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do that. ---- PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`, `mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the inverse as expected. This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that more elegant and better tested way is possible.

2023-04-18Make "NAR info file is corrupt" messages more informativeMichal Sojka
Recently, I encountered the "NAR info file 'xxxx' is corrupt" error with my binary cache. The message is not helpful in determining, which kind of corruption happened. The file, fetched with curl, looked reasonably. This commit adds more information to the error message, which should allow debugging and hopefully fixing the problem.

Fix some issues with experimental config settings
2023-04-17Experimentally allow forcing `nix-daemon` trust; use this to testJohn Ericson
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so. PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building, will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent from the testsuite diff alone.
2023-04-17Fix some issues with experimental config settingsJohn Ericson
Issues: 1. Features gated on disabled experimental settings should warn and be ignored, not silently succeed. 2. Experimental settings in the same config "batch" (file or env var) as the enabling of the experimental feature should work. 3. For (2), the order should not matter. These are analogous to the issues @roberth caught with my changes for arg handling, but they are instead for config handling. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
