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).

This allows distinguishing between an empty value and no value.

These are all symlinks to 'nix' now, reducing the installed size by
about ~1.7 MiB.

Fixes #2425.

Implement --delete-generations + flag for keeping last N number of gens

All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to
statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix
supports.
|
|
Also, random cleanup to argument handling.

Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Also, factor out JSON generation from value-to-json.{cc,hh}, and
support producing indented JSON.

|
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is
synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say
$ nix build nixpkgs.hello
assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This
is more verbose than
$ nix build hello
but is less ambiguous.
|
|
E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".

This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.

Discussed on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12653#discussion_r51601849

Implement floats
|
|
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.)

The nixpkgs manual prescribes the use of values from stdenv.lib.licenses
for the meta.license attribute. Those values are attribute sets and
currently skipped when running nix-env with '--xml --meta'. This has the
consequence that also nixpkgs-lint will report missing licenses.
With this commit nix-env with '--xml --meta' will print all attributes
of an attribute set that are of type tString. For example the output for
the package nixpkgs.hello is
<meta name="license" type="strings">
<string type="url" value="http://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+" />
<string type="shortName" value="gpl3Plus" />
<string type="fullName" value="GNU General Public License v3.0 or later" />
<string type="spdxId" value="GPL-3.0+" />
</meta>
This commit fixes nixpkgs-lint, too.

It was strange to show "upgrading" when the version was getting lower.
This is left on "upgrading" when the versions are the same,
as I can't see any better wording.
|
|
Until now, if one explicitly installed a low-priority version,
nix-env --upgrade would downgrade it by default and even with --leq.
Let's never accept an upgrade with version not matching the upgradeType.
Additionally, let's never decrease the priority of an installed package;
you can use --install to force that.
Also refactor to use variable bestVersion instead of bestName,
as only version was used from it.

The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the
list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if
cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.

Such as whether Nix is built with signed binary cache support, and the

Also, make sure --delete-older-than doesn't delete the current

* only the last generation can be lazy
* depend on the '--lazy-generation' flag to be set

new generations if a generation already exists.
Alternatively or additionally I propose a mode where only the *last* generation will be sparse.

E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz
Or to install a specific version of NixOS:
$ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz
