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.
In scripts/install-nix-from-closure.sh line 229:
echo -e "\nif [ -e $p ]; then . $p; fi # added by Nix installer" >> "$fn"
^-- 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.

installer: fix --no-modify-profile help text

Even if it doesn't offend me or probably most people,
this word can be considered mildly blasphemous.

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.

gnu-config standardized on aarch64 for machine name so host_cpu part
of $system will always be aarch64. That means system will be
aarch64-darwin too.
uname however could report either “aarch64” (if gnu coreutils) or
“arm64” (if apple’s uname). We should support both for compatiblity
here.

The goal is to allow the installation and testing of arbitrary Nix
versions. Extend the base installer to accept a `--tarball-url-prefix
<url>` to change where the Nix tarball is getting downloaded from.
Once this is merged it should allow to:
1. Pick an evaluation at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master that
looks healthy
2. Select the installedScript build and find the store path.
Now equipped with all of this, use an instance of nar-serve to fetch the
install script and release tarballs:
curl -sfL https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv-installer-script/install \
| sh --tarball-url-prefix https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store
Or with cachix, strip the /nix/store and derivation name and then:
curl -sfL https://mycache.cachix.org/serve/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv/install \
| sh --tarball-url-prefix https://mycache.cachix.org/serve
Fixes #4047

Fix iterating over $NIX_PROFILES in Zsh
|
|
Throwing @thefloweringash under the bus if this doesn't work, but it
sounds like Apple Silicon devices can use the x86_64 binary for now.
Fixes #4058
|
|
NIX_PROFILES is space separated list of directories, and passing it into
for as is is considered to be 1-element list with the whole string. With
shwordsplit option Zsh emulates other shells in this regard ans
implicitely splits unquoted strings into words.
Fixes #4167.

Macos big sur installer fixes
|
|
|
|
Env vars for ZSH were moved from /etc/zshrc to /etc/zshenv in #3608
to address an issue with zshrc getting clobbered by OS updates, but
/etc/zshenv doesn't exist by default--so *nothing* would get set up
for zsh users unless they already happened to have /etc/zshenv.
Creating these files if they don't exist. Also cut separate creation
of profile.d/nix.sh, which isn't needed now.
|
|
Some of the changes in #3788 to support non-systemd Nix installs
don't appear to be aware that the darwin installer exists, which
resulted in some skipped steps and inappropriate instructions.
|
|
Fixes #3957. Just runs both forms to minimize moving parts.
|
|
As mentioned in previous commit, Big Sur changes the syntax for the
xpath command slightly.
In the process of testing out replacements for these, I noticed a few
small simplification wins.
