2023-02-20Nix's own flake: Dedup and memoize moreJohn Ericson
- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs. - The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static. - DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.

Follow XDG Base Directory standard
2023-02-10A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standardAlexander Bantyev
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting it: - ~/.nix-profile - ~/.nix-defexpr - ~/.nix-channels This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow the XDG spec and instead use the following locations: - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

2023-01-22primop: add readFileType, optimize readDirAlex Ameen
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory. This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information using POSIX's `readdir`. Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application of `builtins.readFileType`.
