src/libstore/profiles.cc: fix comparison of sign difference (cherry picked from commit 1da1642527f73089947b7bd2de46147a44700ac8) Change-Id: I8f23d32ad66b797ff58eb2bd15b2f7741f47cd99
2023-06-19Clean up a few things related to profiles (#8526)John Ericson
- Greatly expand API docs - Clean up code in misc ways - Instead of a complicated single loop on generations, do different operations in successive subsequent steps. - Avoid `ref` in one place where `&` is fine - Just return path instead of mutating an argument in `makeName` Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>

Make sure that all the code paths use the same one, and that the backwards-compatibility measures are probably in place when needed

2023-02-10A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standardAlexander Bantyev
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting it: - ~/.nix-profile - ~/.nix-defexpr - ~/.nix-channels This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow the XDG spec and instead use the following locations: - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

2023-01-17Keep the default profile the sameThéophane Hufschmitt
It's used as the “system” profile in a bunch of places, so better not touch it. Besides, it doesn't hurt to keep it since it's owned by root any way, so it doesn't have the `chown` problem that the user profiles had and that led to wanting to move them on the client-side.
2023-01-17Don't try to migrate existing profilesThéophane Hufschmitt
Doing so would be more dangerous than useful, better leave them as-is if they already exist
2023-01-17Migrate the old profiles to the new locationThéophane Hufschmitt
Make sure that we don’t just create the new profiles directory, but that we also migrate every existing profile to it.
2023-01-17Move the default profiles to the user’s homeThéophane Hufschmitt
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`. This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself (they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to `chown` them anymore (removing one need for root). This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.

Also use std::string_view in a few more places.

2021-07-11Throw on unexpected input for --delete-older-thanNiels Egberts
'--delete-older-than 10' deletes the generations older than a single day, and '--delete-older-than 12m' deletes all generations older than 12 days. This changes makes it throw on those invalid inputs, and gives an example of a valid input.

2020-09-03createGeneration(): Always create an indirect rootEelco Dolstra
This means profiles outside of /nix/var/nix/profiles don't get garbage-collected. It also means we don't need to scan /nix/var/nix/profiles for GC roots anymore, except for compatibility with previously existing generations.

2019-12-10Make the Store API more type-safeEelco Dolstra
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

2016-02-04Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
