2024-03-25Input: Replace markFileChanged() by putFile()Eelco Dolstra
Committing a lock file using markFileChanged() required the input to be writable by the caller in the local filesystem (using the path returned by getSourcePath()). putFile() abstracts over this. (cherry picked from commit 95d657c8b3ae4282e24628ba7426edb90c8f3942) Change-Id: Ie081c5d9eb4e923b229191c5e23ece85145557ff
2023-03-31Ensure all headers have `#pragma once` and are in API docsJohn Ericson
`///@file` makes them show up in the internal API dos. A tiny few were missing `#pragma once`.

This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like 'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a set of attributes, e.g. fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "https://example.org/repo.git"; ref = "some-branch"; rev = "abcdef..."; } The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input specifications and flake lock file entries. All fetchers share a common cache stored in ~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}). This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).
