installer: update macOS version check to 10.12.2
|
|
install script: don't abort when "nix-channel --update" fails
|
|
the nix-store --init command is a noop apparently
|
|
Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can
be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later
time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline.
Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed
until the end.
Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").
|

Nixpkgs will drop support for <10.12 soon and thus a nix release built
using the 19.03 channel will also require a newer version of macOS.

|
Note: don't backport to 2.0-maintenance
|
|
By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to
select one or the other installation options, despite what the
automatic detection can provide.
This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly
turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.

- darwin installer: delete hardware report, not necessary
- moves os-specific code from the darwin installer to to `poly_*`
functions
- adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically
handles many distros which don't have a /etc/bashrc but do have an
/etc/profile.d
- /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash
- document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded
- rename the multi-user to Daemon-based

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

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.

This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on
OS X.
Fixes #921.

Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:
```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```
... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:
```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```
The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message. I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

Verification is slow. Also, we really shouldn't advise users to nuke
their store.
|
|
|

Just wasted a couple hours chasing shadows because the nix store got
corrupted and there was no indication of that anywhere.
Since an install is one-time only, might as well verify. Optimization
showed that the copied files aren't read-only; fixed that as well.
Also, use /bin/sh since there's a good chance that this script will be
run on systems without /bin/bash

|
The `set -e` at the top of the script causes the installation to fail to
complete if the shell profile is not writeable. Checking file existence
only is not enough.

is not writable by the user
|
|
|
|
In some cases the bash builtin command "cd" can print the variable $CWD
to stdout. This caused the install script to fail while copying files
because the source path was wrong.
Fixes #476.

Also, make it more robust against incorrent SSL_CERT_FILE values.

This prevents having to fetch Nixpkgs or cacert over http.

"cp -r" doesn't copy symlinks properly on Darwin, but "cp -R" does.
Fixes #215.

"echo -n" doesn't work with /bin/sh on Darwin.

|
The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere. The installation script
uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist. It also fetches the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.

For several platforms we don't currently have "native" Nix packages
(e.g. Mac OS X and FreeBSD). This provides the next best thing: a
tarball containing the closure of Nix, plus a simple script
"nix-finish-install" that initialises the Nix database, registers the
paths in the closure as valid, and runs "nix-env -i /path/to/nix" to
initialise the user profile.
The tarball must be unpacked in the root directory. It creates
/nix/store/... and /usr/bin/nix-finish-install. Typical installation
is as follows:
$ cd /
$ tar xvf /path/to/nix-1.1pre1234_abcdef-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2
$ nix-finish-install
(if necessary add ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh to the shell
login scripts)
After this, /usr/bin/nix-finish-install can be deleted, if desired.
The downside to the binary tarball is that it's pretty big (~55 MiB
for x86_64-linux).
