Set maximum name length in Nix
Previously we allowed any length of name for Nix derivations. This is bad because different file systems have different max lengths. To make things predictable, I have picked a max. This was done by trying to build this derivation: derivation { name = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"; builder = "/no-such-path"; system = "x86_64-linux"; } Take off one a and it will not lead to file name too long. That ends up being 212 a’s. An even smaller max could be picked if we want to support more file systems. Working backwards, this is why: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-${name}.drv.chroot > 255 - 32 - 1 - 4 - 7 = 211
