install-darwin: fix mount permission edge-case
|
|
Same as 1fd127a06833c19a5a2965bd41cf4f695773cca6, but applied to a
code path (volume_pass_works -> verify_volume_pass) that the reporting
user didn't hit and wasn't able to trigger manually. I am not certain
but I suspect it will be easier to add prophylactically than to debug
if its absence causes trouble some day.

Document usage of MANPATH in nix-profile.sh
|
|
While trying to figure out how `nix-env`/`nix profile` work I had a hard
time understand how man pages were being installed.
Took me quite some time to figure this out, thought it might be useful
to others too!

Fixes #6122, which reports a problem with trying to run the installer
under another user (probably: user is not the disk "owner" and thus
can't mount the volume).

The script is trying to find chown in a cross-platform-like
way, but there's some sort of deficiency in `command -p` in
the default macOS bash 3.2. It looks like it will just use
whatever PATH is already set, instead of the "default" path.
This attempts to hard-set a PATH via `getconf PATH`. It will
just set an empty PATH if that fails for some reason. A
properly-functioning `command -p` should not care what we
set the PATH to here one way or the other.
Hopefully fixes #5768.

Same purpose as de9efa3b79af7886fcf2a67b6ce97d4f96a57421
For some unclear reason, we get occasional reports from people who do
not have /usr/sbin on their PATH that the installer fails. It's a
standard part of the PATH, so I have no clue what they're doing to
remove it--but it's also fairly cheap to avoid.

Add a regular github action that will check the status of the latest
hydra evaluation.
Things aren’t ideal right now because this job will only notify “the
user who last modified the cron syntax in the workflow file” (so myself
atm). But at least that’ll give a notification for failing hydra jobs

curl usage in install script in sync with instructions
|
|
This change makes the script consistent with the installation
instructions while keeping wget as an alternative.

These scripts are not installed and haven't been updated in many
years.

We had a macOS user present in Matrix with some confusion because the
lack of a clear task statement here made them think the error meant
that a problem had occurred during the preceding task in a macOS
install: "Fixing any leftover Nix volume state"
|
|
This adds an explicit unmount of the store volume to avoid cases
where the installer can hang in await_volume when:
- the user already has a store volume
- that volume is already mounted somewhere other than /nix
- they do not take a path through the installer that results in an
explicit unmount (as both removing and encrypting the volume
would do)

This script uses multiple forms of the first-person POV:
1. "We" to refer to the Nix team (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/1e7c796e66a692cd097b155bd0a60fedf20d554f/scripts/install-multi-user.sh#L72)
2. "We" to refer to the combination of the installation script & the user/executor (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/1e7c796e66a692cd097b155bd0a60fedf20d554f/scripts/install-multi-user.sh#L710)
3. "We" to refer to the installation script alone (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/1e7c796e66a692cd097b155bd0a60fedf20d554f/scripts/install-multi-user.sh#L602)
4. "I" to refer to the installation script alone (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/1e7c796e66a692cd097b155bd0a60fedf20d554f/scripts/install-multi-user.sh#L200)
Since I prefer POV 4 to POV 3, this changes all instances of POV 3 to POV 4.

ShellCheck correctly warns:
In scripts/install-nix-from-closure.sh line 218:
echo -e "\nif [ -e $p ]; then . $p; fi # added by Nix installer" >> "$fn"
^-- SC3037: In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.

^-- SC3037: In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.
Indeed, this actually breaks on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is dash.
Fixes #5458.

As reported in #5198, volume creation can fail with a permission error
for some macOS users (probably secondary user accounts?) Sudo appears
to be sufficient to avoid this.
While I'm here, I also updated the sudo invocation added in 079bde2ae
to use the _sudo explanation wrapper.

Revert "Use /etc/zshenv instead of /etc/zshrc for profile"
|
|
This reverts commit 909d8cb2934869c945ac1cc20dfb71df513042eb.
This messes up PATH priority since /etc/profile gets sourced AFTER
/etc/zshenv and it sets the system paths so
$HOME/.nix-profile/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin is behind
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin. See discussion in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4169.

For external hard disks where ownership is not enabled by default.
|
|
It's not commonly installed on systems like debian,
so avoid the bootstrapping problem by using cp and
chmod.

When commit 233b61d3d6482544c35b9d340240bf3260acff13 (#4224) renamed
@binaryTarball_${system}@ to @tarballHash_${system}@, it updated this
reference for every platform except Darwin.arm64.

fix nixbld user name/uid for macOS/darwin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This works by using Cachix feature of serving a file from
a store path.
|
|
While the progress dots during the copying of the store work fine on a
normal terminal, those look pretty off if the script is run inside a
provisioning script of e.g. `vagrant` or `packer` where `stderr` and
`stdout` are captured:
default: .
default: ..
default: .
default: .
default: .
To work around this, the script checks with `-t 0` if it's
running on an actual terminal and doesn't show the progress if that's not
the case.
