This is incredibly haunted, but it can happen that you change libutil,
breaking the generation of the .json files, which then does not rebuild
the files. I don't expect they are slow to build, so it does not seem so
bad to just rebuild them every time instead of extracting a list of all
the possible deps.
We want to delete this nonsense anyway and replace it with generated
code.

They are like experimental features, but opt-in instead of opt-out. They
will allow us to gracefully remove language features. See #437

Since Ifa0adda7984e, we don't use this code anymore on macOS, so we have
no reason to have a knob to disable it anymore.

The stdenv phases don’t actually do anything (at least not anymore),
and our justfile doesn’t behave the same as our docs.
This patch removes the stdenv phases from the docs, documents our
usage of just, and makes `just setup` heed `$mesonFlags`.
Fixes #413.
Fixes #414.

This was originally going to be just the testsuite but I kinda just
documented all of them.
I am tired of us not documenting these. This is a starting point to
producing an actually good index. I would like to enforce it in a
pre-commit hook eventually that we document all environment variables
used in Lix itself, even if it is terse dev facing docs.
This is full of a bunch of TODOs caused by auditing code. They should
probably be done at some point.

-g '!doc/' --pcre2
All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/162.
Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.

This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.
We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.
This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.
Migration path:
expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects:
```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src
```

This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or
make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least
jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of
referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our
ability.
A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are
three types of FIXME introduced:
- FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it
- FIXME(Qyriad): re https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/215
- FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting
I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be
mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.

This commit makes Meson the default buildsystem for Lix.
The Make buildsystem is now deprecated and will be removed soon, but has
not yet, which will be done in a later commit when all seems good. The
mesonBuild jobs have been removed, and have not been replaced with
equivalent jobs to ensure the Make buildsystem still works.
The full, new commands in a development shell are:
$ meson setup ./build "--prefix=$out" $mesonFlags
(A simple `meson setup ./build` will also build, but will do a different
thing, not having the settings from package.nix applied.)
$ meson compile -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=check
$ meson install -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=installcheck
(Check and installcheck may both be done after install, allowing you to
omit the --suite argument entirely, but this is the order package.nix
runs them in.)
If tests fail and Meson helpfully has no output for why, use the
`--print-error-logs` option to `meson test`. Why this is not the default
I cannot explain.
If you change a setting in the buildsystem, most cases will
automatically regenerate the Meson configuration, but some cases, like
trying to build a specific target whose name is new to the buildsystem
(e.g. `meson compile -C build src/libmelt/libmelt.dylib`, when
`libmelt.dylib` did not exist as a target the last time the buildsystem
was generated), then you can reconfigure using new settings but
existing options, and only recompiling stuff affected by the changes:
$ meson setup --reconfigure build
Note that changes to the default values in `meson.options` or in the
`default_options :` argument to project() are NOT propagated with
`--reconfigure`.
If you want a totally clean build, you can use:
$ meson setup --wipe build
That will work regardless of if `./build` exists or not.
Specific, named targets may be addressed in
`meson build -C build <target>` with the "target ID" if there is one,
which is the first string argument passed to target functions that
have one, and unrelated to the variable name, e.g.:
libexpr_dylib = library('nixexpr', …)
can be addressed with:
$ meson compile -C build nixexpr
All targets may be addressed as their output, relative to the build
directory, e.g.:
$ meson compile -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so
But Meson does not consider intermediate files like object files
targets. To build a specific object file, use Ninja directly and
specify the output file relative to the build directory:
$ ninja -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so.p/nixexpr.cc.o
To inspect the canonical source of truth on what the state of the
buildsystem configuration is, use:
$ meson introspect
Have fun!

manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.
we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests
- Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
clear.
- Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
of the files.
With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests
functional/
installer/
nixos/
```

Introduce notion of a test group, use for CA tests

Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than
one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just
the tests for a specific component when working on that component.
We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to
collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations`
experimental features in groups. Do
```bash
make ca.test-group -jN
```
and
```bash
make dyn-drv.test-group -jN
```
to try running just them.
I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local
overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate
general infra from new features.

* Lang now verifies errors and parse output
* Some new miscellaneous tests
* Easy way to update the tests
* Document workflow in manual
* Use `!` not `~` as separater char for sed
It is confusing to use `~` when we are talking about paths and home
directories!
* Test test suite itself (`test/lang-test/infra.sh`)
Additionally, run shellcheck on `tests/lang.sh` to help ensure it is
correct, now that is is more complex.

This is generally a fine practice: Putting implementations in headers
makes them harder to read and slows compilation. Unfortunately it is
necessary for templates, but we can ameliorate that by putting them in a
separate header. Only files which need to instantiate those templates
will need to include the header with the implementation; the rest can
just include the declaration.
This is now documenting in the contributing guide.
Also, it just happens that these polymorphic serializers are the
protocol agnostic ones. (Worker and serve protocol have the same logic
for these container types.) This means by doing this general template
cleanup, we are also getting a head start on better indicating which
code is protocol-specific and which code is shared between protocols.

e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion
The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

Turns out that the settings themselves have a bad data model anyway, so we cut that. They do still occur in the first example, but not in focus.
