This relaxes restricted mode to allow access to anything in the
store. In the future, it would be better to allow access to only paths
that have been constructed in the current evaluation (so a hard-coded
/nix/store/blabla in a Nix expression would still be
rejected). However, note that reading /nix/store itself is still
rejected, so you can't use this so get access to things you don't know
about.

Closes #454, #455.
|
|
Also, make sure --delete-older-than doesn't delete the current
generation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And don't try to delete generations from unwritable directories.

* only the last generation can be lazy
* depend on the '--lazy-generation' flag to be set
|

It has been obsolete since Nix 1.2.
Closes #417.

new generations if a generation already exists.
Alternatively or additionally I propose a mode where only the *last* generation will be sparse.

For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision
like this:
$ nix-env -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz -iA firefox
Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel:
$ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello
|
|
The call to nix-env expects a string which represents how old the
derivations are or just "old" which means any generations other than
the current one in use. Currently nix-collect-garbage passes an empty
string to nix-env when using the -d option. This patch corrects the call
to nix-env such that it follows the old behavior.
|
|
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz
Or to install a specific version of NixOS:
$ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz

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.

This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.
The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

Going to reimplement differently.
This reverts commit 1e4a4a2e9fc382f47f58b448f3ee034cdd28218a.
