From d86009bd76ae85e56e1d26aab26d38f90ecb6439 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Hensing Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 22:41:50 +0100 Subject: Add build-dir setting, clean up default TMPDIR handling This is a squash of upstream PRs #10303, #10312 and #10883. fix: Treat empty TMPDIR as unset Fixes an instance of nix: src/libutil/util.cc:139: nix::Path nix::canonPath(PathView, bool): Assertion `path != ""' failed. ... which I've been getting in one of my shells for some reason. I have yet to find out why TMPDIR was empty, but it's no reason for Nix to break. (cherry picked from commit c3fb2aa1f9d1fa756dac38d3588c836c5a5395dc) fix: Treat empty XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as unset See preceding commit. Not observed in the wild, but is sensible and consistent with TMPDIR behavior.
