* changes:
releng: add sha256 for the manual tarball
releng: fix upload of multiarch images to forgejo
releng: fix git checking
releng: fix logging inside interactive xonsh
releng: support multiple systems
version: update to 2.90.0-rc1
Forgejo appears to immediately delete registry content that is
overwritten. This means that we are forced to delete our previous
workaround of making a temporary tag and use a new, more absurd
workaround of making an entire temporary image that we basically only
need to create to get its hash.
However, on the plus side, the new workaround doesn't create garbage
tags to begin with, which means that we don't have to deal with GitHub
not implementing the standardized tag delete endpoint and instead
only implementing a proprietary one.

I don't know when this broke, it seems like it happened since the 24.05
upgrade, so xonsh 0.15.
What happened is that xonsh was trying to intercept log output, which
explodes if you have the logger survive past one command input. This is,
however, impossible to avoid if you are trying to use logging when you
import releng from inside xonsh for interactive use!
The error below is because the memory handler backing the stdout/stderr
of the one command that's just been run was closed after the command
completed.

This is motivated by flakes being bad and all the stuff that calls
things by "system" being utterly unable to cope with cross compilation.
So if we go shove it in package.nix it is suddenly usable from cross
contexts.
Usage:
```
nix build -L .#nix-riscv64-linux.binaryTarball
```

It builds. I have not tested the binaries since I don't have hardware,
but I would be rather surprised if it were broken, given that nix *runs*
on this platform.
Change-Id: I0b474ffcd4a431bf117a303d0b65fa6532113f48
There were two bugs I found:
1. If the build isn't already done in the store, nix-store --realise
does not know how to build it. You have to just give it the
derivation and I guess it will realise all outputs, which is fine.
2. cp without -T will not overwrite an existing manual directory,
creating a path manual/manual.

This seems to have been caused by having the wrong PID. I don't know why
it worked before in the sandbox, but the code was definitely wrong
before, so let's just fix it.

This was originally going to be just the testsuite but I kinda just
documented all of them.
I am tired of us not documenting these. This is a starting point to
producing an actually good index. I would like to enforce it in a
pre-commit hook eventually that we document all environment variables
used in Lix itself, even if it is terse dev facing docs.
This is full of a bunch of TODOs caused by auditing code. They should
probably be done at some point.

Followup to https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1417 to ensure that this
parser will never take something that doesn't look like a version.
It turns out this problem is less alarming than initially thought
because it only applies to the testsuite in a non-default mode.

We should not let these regress in CI by having broken dependencies or

The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and
>= 8.2.6" then updating the pin then removing the (now unneeded)

complexity of said changes.

-- jade resubmit changes --
This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.
I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.
It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.
Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.
We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in
its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of
/homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that
this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these
test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user
sandbox.

* changes:
releng: add prod environment, ready for release
releng: automatically figure out if we should tag latest for docker
releng: support multiarch docker images
manual: rewrite the docker guide now that we have images
Rewrite docker to be sensible and smaller
Implement docker upload in the releng tools
This reverts commit 28a079f841.
Reason for revert: This caused a pile of regressions in CI, and does not pass nix flake check. Some number of them are fixed in CL: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1429 but there's more to be fixed.
We should defer this after 2.90.

I am *reasonably* confident that this releng infrastructure can actually
build a Lix 2.90 and release it successfully. Let's make it possible to
do, and add some cute colours to the confirmation message.
Change-Id: I85e498b6fb49ffc5e75c0a72c5e45fb1f69030d3
For example, when releasing from release-2.90, if `main` has a 2.91 tag
ancestor, we know that 2.91 was released, so we should *not* tag latest.
Change-Id: Ia56b17a2ee03bbec74b7c271c742858c690d450d
If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.
I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

I have checked the image can build things and inspected `diff -ru`
compared to the old image. As far as I can tell it is more or less
the same besides the later git change.
Layers are now 65MB or less, and we aren't against the maxLayers limit
for the broken automatic layering to do anything but shove one store
path in a layer (which is good behaviour, actually).
This uses nix2container which streams images, so the build time is much
shorter.
I have also taken the opportunity to, in addition to fixing the 400MB
single layer (terrible, and what motivated this in the first place),
delete about 200MB of closure size inflicted by git vs gitMinimal
causing both perl and python to get into closure.
People mostly use this thing for CI, so I don't really think you need
advanced git operations, and large git can be added at the user side if
really motivated.
With love for whichever container developer somewhat ironically assumed
that one would not run skopeo in a minimal container that doesn't have a

Since ad8a4b380e, the version printer returns "nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.x",
hence the `daemonVersion` was being set to the string "like".
Using `compareVersions` with a letter compares them lexicographically:
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.12pre20230103" // => -1
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.16.0" // => -1
This caused that `isDaemonNewer` always returned 1, falsy in Bash terms.
Therefore, the test suite skipped those tests where they use it.

Previously the entire escaped store URI was included. This would cause
build failures if a very long or deeply nested path was being used in
the store.
Now, we use the first 48 characters of the URL (escaped), then 16 bytes
of hash of the entire URL. This should never collide and limits the
length of the file name to a bit over 64, which is fine.

This is because a dynamic_cast<nix::RootArgs *> of a (n-e-j) MyArgs
returns nullptr even though MyArgs has virtual nix::RootArgs as a
parent.
class MyArgs : virtual public nix::MixEvalArgs,
virtual public nix::MixCommonArgs,
virtual nix::RootArgs { ... };
So this should work right?? But it does not. We found out that it's
caused by -fvisibility=hidden in n-e-j, but honestly this code was bad
anyway.
The trivial solution is to simply stop relying on RTTI working properly
here, which is probably better OO architecture anyway. However, I am not
100% confident *this* is sound, since we have this horrible hierarchy:
Args (defines getRoot)
/ | \
RootArgs MixCommonArgs MixEvalArgs
(overrides)
I am not confident that this is guaranteed to resolve from Args always
in the case of this override.

It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.
This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH
operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.

If our shellHook is being run from a nested nix-shell (see 7a12bc200¹),
then (I think) it is run from a bash function due to the nesting, then
`return` is correct. If its `eval`'d though, then there isn't really a
correct way to early exit. So we can just unconditionally be executed in
a function.

while refactoring the curl wrapper we inadvertently broken the immutable
flake protocol, because the immutable flake protocol accumulates headers
across the entire redirect chain instead of using only the headers given
in the final response of the chain. this is a problem because Some Known
Providers Of Flake Infrastructure set rel=immutable link headers only in
the penultimate entry of the redirect chain, and curl does not regard it
as worth returning to us via its response header enumeration mechanisms.

If a nested nix-shell is run inside a nix-shell, then the outer shell's
shellHook will be passed through and run again, unless the nested shell
defines its own.
With lix's hook, this can be annoying: forgetting to exit its nix-shell,
cd'ing to another repository & entering a nested nix-shell will happily
install lix's pre-commit hook in it.
This change makes lix's hook return early in such cases.

According to doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md, all development
shells should also be available in classic nix using the -A argument
to nix-shell, e.g.
nix-shell -A native-clangStdenvPackages
This was not actually the case; flake-compat generates attrsets like
nix-shell -A devShells.x86_64-linux.native-clangStdenvPackages
instead. These are unwieldy to use, so rather than changing the docs,
this changes the shell.nix file to result in the documented behavior.

check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no
timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets
us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion
notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process
and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts
to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid
and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and
all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since
it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time.
writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies
on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle
machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping
builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`:
nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E '
with import <nixpkgs> {};
builtins.genList
(i: runCommand "foo-${toString i}" {} "sleep 10")

8c06b7b43¹ made libfetchers log the URL being fetched just before the
actual fetch, particularly in case something freezes. This used the base
URL, to not include query parameters, as the Nixpkgs lib tests assume
that stderr logs will be equal across shallow and non-shallow git
fetches (and shallow fetches have the ?shallow=1 query parameter).
8c06b7b43 assumed that the `base` field of ParsedURL would be populated,
as the comment simply says "URL without query/fragment"... but
apparently it is not populated when the URL being fetched is *already*
fetched, which caused libfetchers to log things like
fetching gitlab input ''
which is. silly. but you know, busted lix be busted.
Anyway, with this commit we just remove the query params before printing
instead, which seems to do the right thing

This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this

This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.

nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects:

nix::fetchers::CacheImpl uses $XDG_CACHE_HOME, or its default based on
$HOME, to store its SQLite database. If the current process can't write
to that directory for whatever reason, though, any eval-time fetching
would fail just initializing the cache.
With this change, IO errors initializing the fetcher cache are logged
but ignored, and nix::fetchers::CacheImpl falls back to an in-memory¹
database instead.
Notably, this will fix any uses eval fetching while Lix itself is being
run in a derivation builder (such as during tests), as the derivation
builder does not set $XDG_CACHE_HOME, and sets $HOME to the non-existent
directory /homeless-shelter.

having the serializer write into `*conn` is not legal because we are
in a sinkToSource that will be drained by the remote we're connected
to. writing into `*conn` directly can break the framing protocol. it
is unlikely this code was ever run: to protocol it caters to is from
2016(!) and thoroughly untested in-tree, and since it's been present
since nix 2.17 and the 1.18 protocol broken here is nix 2.0 we might
safely assume that daemons older than nix 2.1 are no longer used now

There are a few places in nixpkgs lib where `**Foo**:` is used as a heading instead of the usual markdown `# Foo` ones. I think this is intentional with how it gets rendered in the manual, e.g. [`lib.lists.sortOn`][1].

chomping off the first asterisk as part of `cleanup_single_line` that's meant to deal with `/** \n * \n * \n */` style doc comments. This also means the usage in lix ends up funny-looking with a trailing asterisk as if there's a footnote to pay attention to (which is how I first noticed it, heh)

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

The interrupt-blocking code was originally introduced 20 years ago so that

(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for

was just a mashup of both std::promise and std::packaged_task in a shape

this is the *only* real user of file transfer download completion
callbacks, and a pretty spurious user at that (seeing how nothing
here is even turned on by default and indeed a dependency of path
substitution which *isn't* async, and concurrency-limited). it'll
be a real pain to keep this around, and realistically it would be
a lot better to overhaul substitution in general to be *actually*
async. that requires a proper async framework footing though, and
we don't have anything of the sort, but it's also blocking *that*

In commit 946fc12e4e, the progress bar in the
repl was disabled again because it was observed to erase incremental output
from attrset evaluations from the terminal. Let's try adding the progress bar
again, this time showing up only when a build is initiated, which does not have
incremental output that could be destroyed to begin with. While this does mean
that we won't have a progress bar for eval-time fetching or IFD, it's still

Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

only two users of this function exist. only one used it in a way that
even bears resemblance to asynchronicity, and even that one didn't do
it right. fully async and parallel computation would have only worked
if any getEdgesAsync never calls the continuation it receives itself,
only from more derived callbacks running on other threads. calling it
directly would cause the decoupling promise to be awaited immediately
*on the original thread*, completely negating all nice async effects.

Some tests were failing on darwin,
if the auto-allocate-uids featrure was enabled.
This was because AAU on darwin works by setuid-ing as a non-existent
user, so the tests that were relying on `whoami` were failing.
In the case of trusted-users we fall back to printing the user id,
which is already handled gracefully in the daemon code - i.e. when
a user does not exist or for some other reason looking up their
username is not possible, the daemon falls back to searching for their
uid inside the trusted-users list.
When whoami is used to print the username for other purpose,
we default to printing nixbld.

If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with
"kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0"), Lix would previously *give up*
on trying to use a user namespace before actually trying it, even if, in
cases such as unprivileged_userns_clone, it would actually be allowed
since Nix has CAP_SYS_ADMIN when running as daemon.
(see, e.g. https://github.com/archlinux/linux/commit/25d4709a4fc0e4f3b432c24b60dd508fb84f0cb2)
We changed it to actually try it first, and then diagnose possible
causes, and also to be more loud about the whole thing, using warnings
instead of debugs. These warnings will only print on the first build run

We diagnosed this to sandboxUid() being called before
usingUserNamespace() was called, in setting up /etc/group inside the
sandbox. This code desperately needs refactoring.
We also moved the /etc/group code to be with the /etc/passwd code, but
honestly this code is all spaghetti'd all over the place and needs some
more serious tidying than we did here.
We also moved some checks to be earlier to improve locality with where
the things they are checking come from.

With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.
Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:
> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/9b88e5284608116b7db0dbd3d5dd7a33b90d52d7/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc#L1650-L1663.
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.
Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.
This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:
$ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562
I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.
Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.
To work around that
* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
scheduled[3].
* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
away.
We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
nixpkgs itself for Lix.

this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in

and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA

minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any

As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.

nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style
of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On
non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile`
of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working
again, without recreating the profile.
This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of
profile.

This replaces the external sandbox-exec call with direct calls into

prototypes, but all major browsers depend on it, so it is unlikely to
materially change without warning.
This commit also ensures the netrc file is only written if the
derivation is in fact meant to be able to access the internet.
This change commits a sin of not actually actively declaring its

That's expected by `build-remote` and makes sure that errors are
correctly forwarded to the user. For instance, let's say that the
host-key of `example.org` is unknown and
nix-build ../nixpkgs -A hello -j0 --builders 'ssh-ng://example.org'
is issued, then you get the following output:
cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org?&': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org'
Failed to find a machine for remote build!

The relevant information (`Host key verification failed`) ends up in the
daemon's log, but that's not very obvious considering that the daemon
isn't very chatty normally.
This can be fixed - the same way as its done for legacy-ssh - by passing
fd 4 to the SSH wrapper. Now you'd get the following error:
cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org': Host key verification failed.
Failed to find a machine for remote build!
[...]
...and now it's clear what's wrong.
Please note that this is won't end up in the derivation's log.

only decompress the response once all data has been received (in the
fully buffered case), or at least outside of the curl wrapper itself
(in the receive-to-sink case). unfortunately this means we will have
to duplicate decompression logic for these two cases for time being,
but once the curl wrapper has been rewritten to return a real future
or Source we can deduplicate this logic again. the curl wrapper will
have to turn into a proper Source first and use decompression source
logic which also does not currently exist—only decompression *sinks*

this lets each implementation of FileTransfer (of which currently only
the one exists at all) implement appropriate handling for its internal
behaviours that are not otherwise exposed. in curl this lets us switch
the buffer-full handling method from "block the entire curl thread" to
"pause just the one transfer", move the non-libcurl body decompression
out of the actual curl wrapper (which will let us eventually morph the
curl wrapper intto an actual source of Sources), and some other things

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

My main motivation for this change is to limit the amount of compile
jobs to make sure my machine is still usable for something else when
building a fresh Lix locally.
Also made `build` a dependency of `install`: this is analogous to
`make install` in CppNix where this both recompiles changed files and
installs the artifacts into `outputs/out`. May be a little more pleasant
to work with that, especially when you're used to contributing to
CppNix.

just accumulate error data into result.data as we would for successful
transfers without a dataCallback. errorSink and data would contain the
same data in error cases anyway, so splitting them is not very useful.

This creates new subclasses of LocalStore for each OS to include
platform-specific functionality. Currently this just includes garbage
collector roots but it could be extended to sandboxing as well.
In order to make sure that the generic LocalStore is not accidentally
constructed, its constructor is protected. A Fallback is provided which
implements no functionality except constructors.

This commit makes Meson the default buildsystem for Lix.
The Make buildsystem is now deprecated and will be removed soon, but has
not yet, which will be done in a later commit when all seems good. The
mesonBuild jobs have been removed, and have not been replaced with
equivalent jobs to ensure the Make buildsystem still works.
The full, new commands in a development shell are:
$ meson setup ./build "--prefix=$out" $mesonFlags
(A simple `meson setup ./build` will also build, but will do a different
thing, not having the settings from package.nix applied.)
$ meson compile -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=check
$ meson install -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=installcheck
(Check and installcheck may both be done after install, allowing you to
omit the --suite argument entirely, but this is the order package.nix
runs them in.)
If tests fail and Meson helpfully has no output for why, use the
`--print-error-logs` option to `meson test`. Why this is not the default
I cannot explain.
If you change a setting in the buildsystem, most cases will
automatically regenerate the Meson configuration, but some cases, like
trying to build a specific target whose name is new to the buildsystem
(e.g. `meson compile -C build src/libmelt/libmelt.dylib`, when
`libmelt.dylib` did not exist as a target the last time the buildsystem
was generated), then you can reconfigure using new settings but
existing options, and only recompiling stuff affected by the changes:
$ meson setup --reconfigure build
Note that changes to the default values in `meson.options` or in the
`default_options :` argument to project() are NOT propagated with
`--reconfigure`.
If you want a totally clean build, you can use:
$ meson setup --wipe build
That will work regardless of if `./build` exists or not.
Specific, named targets may be addressed in
`meson build -C build <target>` with the "target ID" if there is one,
which is the first string argument passed to target functions that
have one, and unrelated to the variable name, e.g.:
libexpr_dylib = library('nixexpr', …)
can be addressed with:
$ meson compile -C build nixexpr
All targets may be addressed as their output, relative to the build
directory, e.g.:
$ meson compile -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so
But Meson does not consider intermediate files like object files
targets. To build a specific object file, use Ninja directly and
specify the output file relative to the build directory:
$ ninja -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so.p/nixexpr.cc.o
To inspect the canonical source of truth on what the state of the
buildsystem configuration is, use:
$ meson introspect
Have fun!

This should fix cross compilation in the base case, but this is
difficult to test as cross compilation is broken in many different
places right now. This should bring Meson back up to cross parity with
the Make buildsystem though.

don't reimplement header parsing. this was only really needed due to the
ancient github bug we no longer care about, everything else we have done
in custom code can also be done using curl itself. doing this also fixes
possible sources of header smuggling (because the header function didn't
unfold headers and we'd trim them before parsing, which would've made us
read contents of one header as a fully formed header in itself). this is
a slight behavior change because we now honor only the first instance of
a given header where previous behavior was to honor either the last or a
combination of all of them (accept-ranges was logical-or'd by accident).

this was a workaround for a *github* bug that happend *in 2015*.
not only is github no longer buggy, it shouldn't have been nix's
responsibility to work around these bugs like this to begin with
while we're at it we'll also remove another workaround—again for
github specifically and again for etag handling—from 2021 that's
also not needed any more. future workarounds for serverside bugs
should probably come with an expiration date that mutates into a
build warning after a while, otherwise this *will* happen again.

With Nix 2.3, it was possible to pass a subpath of a store path to

in
writeClosure [ "${hello}/bin/hello" ]

93cc06334 removed nss-cacert from the binary tarball, but they're
necessary for global compatibility (and for our installer). This is what
results in cacerts being in the default profile, so e.g. the daemon has
TLS certs without having to use the system ones.
There's a fallback behavior in the daemon script in case these wind up
missing from the profile, but we don't want to have to rely on that,
since the fallback fails if it doesn't recognize one of a handful of
distros.

manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or
something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches.
(Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that
can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback
dependency resolution to Meson.)
This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and
`callPackage`able without excessive external logic.
With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out
of the flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset;
nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

`nix eval --write-to` refuses to write to a directory that exists at
all, so now we generate in a temporary directory, and copy the generated
tree to the build directory. This is equivalent to what the Make
buildsystem did, actually, but hopefully more robust.
Future work: documenting the doc generation architecture in the
top-level meson.build outline comment.

having them in checks only does not run them in CI, which can cause

fixes#228
Change-Id: If0ba7b1be0b6525fc884a27e941cbc84b5a160f9
code blocks, if not surrounded by empty lines, have the language
tags (in these cases, always `nix`) show up in the output of :doc.
for example:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef
"github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir =
"lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type =
"github"; }
is now instead:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example:
| builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib"
evaluates to:
| { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; }

It is a little bit scuffed, but it seems to produce correct results. We
can run it at a later date when we want to explode every in-flight
commit in existence and then need to filter-branch them.

Commit c21d11ac0 "docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook
preprocessor for @docroot@" added a direct build dependency on Python.
This has been accidentally working so far because Python is already a
*transitive* dependency of Lix's derivation.

- Use a recursive descent parser so that it's easy to extend.
- Add `@args` to enable customizing command-line arguments
- Add `@should-start` to enable `nix repl` tests that error before
entering the REPL
- Make sure to read all stdout output before comparing. This catches
some extra output we were tossing out before!

This reverts commit 491caad6f62c21ffbcdebe662e63ec0f72e6f3a2.
this is not actually legal for nix! throwing exceptions in destructors
is fine, but the way nix is set up we'll end up throwing the exception
we received from the remote *twice* in some cases, and such cases will
cause an immediate terminate without active exception.
Change-Id: I74c46b9f26fd791086e4193ec60eb1deb9a5bb2a
throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it
entirely out of an overabundance of caution. in cases where terminate
is the correct answer the users of Finally must call it manually now.

We're not entirely clear on why the links preprocessor has to be done
*before* rather than after, but we assume it is probably that as a
builtin preprocessor it does some processing on the raw book source,
and not just the JSON data.
Also a real use for Python pattern matching? I know I was surprised too.

For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.
NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.
These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

Since we don't have a ./configure checked in, it makes no sense to keep
any of these scripts since people are already going to be running
autoreconf anyway.
Plus they will be completely deletable when meson shows up.
This fixes `autoreconfPhase` causing git diffs.

- To remove the stale label, just leave a new comment.
- _How to find the right people to ping?_ → [`git blame`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) to the rescue! (or GitHub's history and blame buttons.)
- You can always ask for help on [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/) or on [Matrix - #nix:nixos.org](https://matrix.to/#/#nix:nixos.org).
## Suggestions for PRs
1. GitHub sometimes doesn't notify people who commented / reviewed a PR previously, when you (force) push commits. If you have addressed the reviews you can [officially ask for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from those who commented to you or anyone else.
2. If it is unfinished but you plan to finish it, please mark it as a draft.
3. If you don't expect to work on it any time soon, closing it with a short comment may encourage someone else to pick up your work.
4. To get things rolling again, rebase the PR against the target branch and address valid comments.
5. If you need a review to move forward, ask in [the Discourse thread for PRs that need help](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604).
6. If all you need is a merge, check the git history to find and [request reviews](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from people who usually merge related contributions.
## Suggestions for issues
1. If it is resolved (either for you personally, or in general), please consider closing it.
2. If this might still be an issue, but you are not interested in promoting its resolution, please consider closing it while encouraging others to take over and reopen an issue if they care enough.
3. If you still have interest in resolving it, try to ping somebody who you believe might have an interest in the topic. Consider discussing the problem in [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
4. As with all open source projects, your best option is to submit a Pull Request that addresses this issue. We :heart: this attitude!
**Memorandum on closing issues**
Don't be afraid to close an issue that holds valuable information. Closed issues stay in the system for people to search, read, cross-reference, or even reopen--nothing is lost! Closing obsolete issues is an important way to help maintainers focus their time and effort.

To ensure a smooth and effective contribution process, here is a summary of our guidelines:
## Getting help?
If you have any question regarding getting started or reporting bugs, feel free
to reach out to us.
On Matrix, we have a space at `#space:lix.systems`, composed of:
- [`#discuss:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#discuss:lix.systems) for discussions on Lix.
- [`#dev:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:lix.systems) for the development channel on Lix.
## Report a bug
1. Check on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues) if your bug was already reported.
- Check if your bug has already been reported in the [issue tracker](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues).
- If you can't find the bug or feature, please open a new issue.
2. If you were not able to find the bug or feature [open a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose)
3. The issue templates will guide you in specifying your issue.
The more complete the information you provide, the more likely it can be found by others and the more useful it is in the future.
Make sure reported bugs can be reproduced easily.
4. Once submitted, do not expect issues to be picked up or solved right away.
The only way to ensure this, is to [work on the issue yourself](#making-changes-to-nix).
We maintain a copy of the upstream Nix bugs. Their organisation can be read about [here](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/bug-tracker-organisation).

## Making changes to Nix
## Making changes to Lix
1. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intent to work on.
You can use [labels](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels) to filter for relevant topics.
Before diving into making changes, we want to engage with you and your ideas.
2. Search for related issues that cover what you're going to work on. It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
We have a few policies in effect; please take the time to familiarize yourself:
Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/good-first-issue) should be relatively easy to fix and are likely to get merged quickly.
Pull requests addressing issues labeled [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) are especially welcomed by maintainers and will receive prioritised review.
- [Style guide on code](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/code)
- [Freeze policy and recommended contributions](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/freezes-and-recommended-contributions)
3. Check the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html) for information on building Nix and running its tests.
To avoid duplication of effort, it may be a good idea to check out the list of
[pending pull requests](https://gerrit.lix.systems/q/status:open+-is:wip) (or "change lists", as Gerrit calls them). Once you have
an idea of what you might want to do, we recommend dropping a message on our
Matrix to ensure your contribution fits with our current schedule and plans
For contributions to the command line interface, please check the [CLI guidelines](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/cli-guideline.html).
When you're ready and your changes are ready to go:
4. Make your changes!
- Submit your code.
- Submitting a GitHub PR [on our mirror](https://github.com/lix-project/lix) is totally ok if that's easier for you and your change is relatively small (300 lines or so).
5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) for your changes.
* Link related issues in your pull request to inform interested parties and future contributors about your change.
* Make sure to have [a clean history of commits on your branch by using rebase](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request).
If your pull request closes one or multiple issues, note that in the description using `Closes: #<number>`, as it will then happen automatically when your change is merged.
* [Mark the pull request as draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if you're not done with the changes.
We may ask you to resubmit it as a Gerrit CL if it is necessary for the change you're making.
- Our primary code review system is [our Gerrit instance](https://gerrit.lix.systems), where you can open a change list (CL).
If you're new to Gerrit, check out [our wiki page about Gerrit](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/gerrit).
- Make sure to link any related issues.
- If needed, indicate that the change is 'work in progress'.
6. Do not expect your pull request to be reviewed immediately.
Nix maintainers follow a [structured process for reviews and design decisions](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/maintainers#project-board-protocol), which may or may not prioritise your work.
Following this checklist will make the process smoother for everyone:
- [ ] Fixes an [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) issue
- [ ] User documentation in the [manual](..doc/manual/src)
- [ ] API documentation in header files
- [ ] Code and comments are self-explanatory
- [ ] Commit message explains **why** the change was made
- [ ] New feature or incompatible change: updated [release notes](./doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-next.md)
7. If you need additional feedback or help to getting pull request into shape, ask other contributors using [@mentions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams).

Previously a `.drv` that was truncated in the middle of a string would case nix to enter an infinite loop, eventually exhausting all memory and crashing.
synopsis:Duplicate attribute reports are more accurate
cls:557
credits:horrors
category:Improvements
---
Duplicate attribute errors are now more accurate, showing the path at which an error was detected rather than the full, possibly longer, path that caused the error.
Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result. The version of `lsof` packaged in Nixpkgs is very slow on Darwin, so Lix now uses `libproc` directly to speed up GC root discovery, in some tests taking 250ms now instead of 40s.
synopsis:fix duplicate attribute error positions for `inherit`
prs:9874

When an inherit caused a duplicate attribute error the position of the error was not reported correctly, placing the error with the inherit itself or at the start of the bindings block instead of the offending attribute name.
When an inherit caused a duplicate attribute error, the position of the error was not reported correctly, placing the error with the inherit itself or at the start of the bindings block instead of the offending attribute name.
Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names `.` and `..` are disallowed, as well as those starting with `.-` or `..-`.
Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented [in the issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/912#issuecomment-1919583286).
`nix eval` previously printed derivations as attribute sets, so commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) would infinitely loop and segfault.
It now prints the `.drv` path the derivation generates instead.

[`nix profile`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.md) now uses names to refer to installed packages when running [`list`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-list.md), [`remove`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-remove.md) or [`upgrade`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-upgrade.md) as opposed to indices. Indices have been removed. Profile element names are generated when a package is installed and remain the same until the package is removed.
**Warning**: The `manifest.nix` file used to record the contents of profiles has changed. Lix will automatically upgrade profiles to the new version when you modify the profile. After that, the profile can no longer be used by older versions of Lix.

synopsis:Rename all the libraries nixexpr, nixstore, etc to lixexpr, lixstore, etc
credits:jade
category:Breaking Changes
---
The Lix C++ API libraries have had the following changes:
- Includes moved from `include/nix/` to `include/lix/`
-`pkg-config` files renamed from `nix-expr` to `lix-expr` and so on.
- Libraries renamed from `libnixexpr.so` to `liblixexpr.so` and so on.
There are other changes between Nix 2.18 and Lix, since these APIs are not
stable. However, this change in particular is a deliberate compatibility break
to force downstreams linking to Lix to specifically handle Lix and avoid Lix
accidentally getting ensnared in compatibility code for newer CppNix.
Migration path:
- expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
- nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from includes, so `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`.
Then, the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects (header filter is set to only fix instances in headers in `../src` relative to the compiler's working directory, as would be the case in nix-eval-jobs or other things built with meson, e.g.):
synopsis:Experimental REPL support for documentation comments using `:doc`
cls:564
category:Features
credits:[Lunaphied, jade]
significance:significant
---
Using `:doc` in the REPL now supports showing documentation comments when defined on a function.
Previously this was only able to document builtins, however it now will show comments defined on a lambda as well.
This support is experimental and relies on an embedded version of [nix-doc](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc).
The logic also supports limited Markdown formatting of doccomments and should easily support any [RFC 145](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0145-doc-strings.md)
compatible documentation comments in addition to simple commented documentation.
