or more accurately, wrap them in a nix::Error subclass so we can display
them properly without crashing, and add some error context if available.

* changes:
docs: document the cursed file syntax for new CLI
docs: document the cursed file syntax for old cli
doc preprocessor: support indent directives
This documents the fact that nix-build, nix-env, nix-instantiate, and
nix-shell accept an extended syntax for their file arguments, including
some well-known (but not well documented) aspects, like being able to
specify `<nixpkgs>`, but also https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed
flakerefs, and the cursed `channel:` prefixed hardcoded URLs
Same thing for the new CLI incoming :)

allow opting in to serialization as integers via a trait type instead,
and add string-list serializers for the feature flag set enumerations.

USDT probes are statically defined trace points that have nearly zero
disabled-probe effect, i.e. we can put them in hot paths.
The use case for these is both similar and dissimilar to Rust tracing:
We still need better logging and a better structured rust-tracing
looking thing, but probes allow for quite easy programmable interactive
tracing in production, which we also care a lot about.
This CL comes with a perfunctory trace point in
libstore/file-transfer.cc for reading data out of the curl buffer. This
was mostly thrown in there so that I could see what the buffer sizes of
this were, and maybe be able to instrument the perf of the curl usages
in Lix in the future.

This is *just* in output messages that look relatively like the FOD
failure message. It's not great that we inconsistently use the old
format in random places.

Well that is a mess. I don't like breaking derivation compatibility,
but I like non-deterministic evaluation much less.
We can break compat if we own up to it, which this does.

It's possible to put a path into the store in pure mode by pretending
it's locked like this:
$ echo 'lalala' > testfile
$ nix eval --expr '(builtins.fetchTree { path = "/home/ma27/testfile"; rev = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"; type = "path"; })'
{ lastModified = 1723656303; lastModifiedDate = "20240814172503"; narHash = "sha256-hOMY06A0ohaaCLwnhpZIMoAqi/8kG2vk30NRiqi0dfc="; outPath = "/nix/store/lhfz259iipmv9ky995rml8018jvriynh-source"; rev = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"; shortRev = "0000000"; }
$ cat /nix/store/lhfz259iipmv9ky995rml8018jvriynh-source
lalala
There was a fix in CppNix[1], but Puck noted that it's breaking
backwards-compatibility because
> [...] a github fetch with a fully specified rev is no longer considered "locked"
> this is for "purity" reasons, but it breaks any existing flake.nix files
I tried a way smaller correctness fix here:
* Each scheme can denote whether a `rev` is enough to consider itself
locked.
* If a `rev` is given and the scheme is OK with just a `rev` to be
locked, the input is marked as locked.
For `path` this is not the case anymore, i.e. it requires a NAR hash to
be locked down.

Documenting fetchTree is an exercise in frustration because of the sheer
amount of stringly typed everything in it. I do not know which fields
exist without reading the entirety of libfetchers. However, we can write
something slightly perfunctory but at least perhaps somewhat helpful
documentation-wise.

This is a redesign from 9b1f3cbc13 where
this was introduced.
I deleted the AbstractConfig::toKeyValue since it was conspicuously and
obviously broken for two years since 450e5ec618.
I asked myself if anyone was using it, given that it only emitted
settings that were aliases (broken!), and found that nobody used it.
The motivation for this change is the same for only emitting overridden
settings to the protocol: the nix inside there may not be able to parse
our defaults, as is the case of CppNix since the consensual
accept-flake-config was added to Lix.

Missing these is really annoying, causes massive problems for debugging
(if you don't to enable build logs), and there's basically no reason we
can't just always show them.
In the future we might want to emit these to syslog/systemd/etc, but for
now let's just always print them to the console.

Previously, only the `install` target in the `justfile` took extra
`*OPTIONS`, which meant you could run `just build install test` (or
`just clean setup build install test` for a clean build). This is much
more convenient than `just build && just install && just test`.
However, sometimes you *do* need extra options for some of those other
targets, so over time they have gained extra arguments. But these
prevent you from chaining the targets together:
$ just clean setup build install test
rm -rf build
meson setup build --prefix="$PWD/outputs/out" $mesonFlags build install test
usage: meson [-h]
{setup,configure,dist,install,introspect,init,test,wrap,subprojects,rewrite,compile,devenv,env2mfile,reprotest,format,fmt,help}
...
meson: error: unrecognized arguments: install test
error: Recipe `setup` failed on line 13 with exit code 2
As a compromise, I've renamed the targets with extra arguments to
include a `-custom` suffix, and added aliases for the old targets to
call the `-custom`-suffixed target with no extra arguments.
This makes it possible to run `just build install test` again, but keeps
the ability to run `just build-custom EXTRA_MESON_BUILD_ARGS`.
BONUS:
- Added `test-unit` and `test-integration`, because I always forget the
arguments to run a particular test suite and the names of those test
suites.
- Added doc comments to `lint` and `lint-fix`.

Right now, Lix waits for quite a while five times[1] if a substituter is
down. If the substituter is not reachable for that long, it's probably
down or so slow that it doesn't make sense to download from it. Also,
most people would abort earlier assuming that Lix just behaves weird in
that case.
Reducing the timeout to 5s to make the behavior a little better.
If people live in areas with poor connection where a higher timeout
would be appropriate, I'd argue that they should increase the timeout
rather than requiring everbody else to set it to a non-zero value.
Additionally, communicate how often we're re-trying.

When lastModified comes via inputFromAttrs it ends up as string in the
Attrs map. This results in:
error: input attribute 'lastModified' is not an integer
Fix by handling it like revCount, which already does the right thing.
If added a test and confirmed that it catches the issue.
Also kudos to alexander.sieg@cyberus-technology.de for helping with
debugging this!

This adds a gcTryDeleteSpecific operation. This is similar to
gcDeleteSpecific, but will not fail if any of the given paths cannot
be deleted. Paths that could not be deleted are reported in the new
`kept` field of struct GCResults.
This also changes the behaviour of gcDeleteSpecific, such that it will
now continue deleting paths even if it fails to delete one along the
way, and only throw an error once deletion of all the given paths has
been attempted. This seems reasonable to me, because it makes its
behaviour somewhat less surprising -- previously, if some paths were
deletable and others weren't, the deletable ones would be deleted iff
they preceded the live ones in lexical sort order.
This also fixes a regression introduced in
8614cf1334, whereby nix-store --delete
failed to delete paths if they had any dependents -- even if none of
the dependents had GC roots.
The gcTryDeleteSpecific operation is surfaced via additional flags for
the `nix store delete` and `nix-store --delete` commands.
This makes custom garbage-collection logic a lot easier to implement
and experiment with:
- Paths known to be large can be thrown at `nix store delete` without
having to manually filter out those that are still reachable from a
root, e.g.
`nix store delete /nix/store/*mbrola-voices*`
- The --delete-closure option allows extending this to paths that are
not large themselves but do have a large closure size, e.g.
`nix store delete /nix/store/*nixos-system-gamingpc*`
Having an option for this is not strictly necessary, but convenient
because it doesn't require the user to add an extra `nix-store
-qR` (or `nix path-info -r`) into their command, nor to rewrite
their command to use `--stdin` if the closure ends up too large to
fit on a command line.
- Other heuristics like atime-based deletion can be applied more
easily, because `nix store delete` once again takes over the task of
working out which paths can't be deleted.
