This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to
get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs
from the binary cache.
Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for
this.

"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use
the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use
0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea
in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local
building.)
Fixes #1198.

We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit
message for de4cdd0d47adc70a4db12397a42c18ee50b4e662 also got this
wrong.)

And also don't refer to f-spot, which apparently no longer exists.

The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.
This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.
This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.
This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

For example, you can now set
build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl?
to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox
if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2
images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.

Fixes #1069.

It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads,
not just binary cache lookups.
Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2
(enabled by default).

Let's step in line with time and document more realistic values.
|
|
This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.
|
|
Rarely used, nix copy replaces it.

Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional
deployment mechanisms.
I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and
deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds
over several machines.
I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually
save, as you do not have side effects when building!
So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I
wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute
the builds. All was good.
I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable
by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf.
When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It
failed, telling me
error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds
And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able
to find the issue.
I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the
SSH key and everything.
I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I
got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either.
So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables.
And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the
environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes
rather than relatives.
And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the
documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall
because something is not documented somewhere.

Fixes: a6ca68a7 ("Require OpenSSL")

Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and
we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version.
So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current"
in the hope that this won't happen again.
I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't
tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could
have implications.

Looks like these were accidentally commented out in
9ffc4f4363d9596e2477645eab94e4140cd47c19.

fix "nix-build" examples
|
|
|
|
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing:
error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’)
Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix!
Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm
Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
suggested by @domenkozar

This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
|

nix-env: respect meta.outputsToInstall
|
|
More spring cleaning.
|
|
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also
gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.

This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
