Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and failures more strongly. - `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables - `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the pipeline. This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this. There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with `set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test. To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why. `grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with `grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

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.

Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.
2015-04-29tests: Fix wrong channel name in nix-channel.sh.aszlig
The $channelName variable passed to the channel builder is the last portion of the URL and while that works in the previous test for channels prior to #519, it doesn't work if the last portion is nixexprs.tar.bz2. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>

This makes all the tests succeed. Woohoo!
2012-04-14nix-channel improvementsEelco Dolstra
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
