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.

2021-02-24Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flagsShea Levy
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can actually define new subcommands.

This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't hurt...

2020-09-16Fetch commits from github/gitlab using Auth headerGreg Hale
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request fails with a 404. This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API. It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header. The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.

2020-04-07Backport libfetchers from the flakes branchEelco Dolstra
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).

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).

2018-09-04Get effective user in Nix commandsMatthew Bauer
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as, including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on macOS is as simple as: $ sudo nix-channel --update $ sudo nix-env -u $ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon $ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon or $ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon

fixes #1964
2018-04-21Fix library ordering in MakefilesAndrew Dunham
The existing ordering linked `libutil` before `libstore`, which causes link failures when building statically. This is due to `libstore` using functions from `libutil`, and the fact that symbol resolution works "forward" - i.e. if you pass `-lfoo -lbar -lbaz`, any symbols that `libbar` uses from `libbaz` will be resolved, but symbols from `libfoo` will not since it comes first in the command line. All this to say: this commit reorders the libraries which fixes the link errors.

2016-09-14Enable HTTP/2 supportEelco Dolstra
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by default). For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2. This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.
