Starve the TTY of input to ensure this works, but provide yes to the
current installer to handle the current broken case.

change fixes a bug hidden by the nix replacement where the store files were being owned by the installing user due to rsync's -a implying -og.

root-owned files instead of making a scary warning.

sbin is a symlink to bin.
profiles only contains packages, which have this symlink.
It is a subset of bin.

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.
This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.
This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.
This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on
OS X.
Fixes #921.

Rarely used, nix copy replaces it.

We have BinaryCacheStore now

Was added in 2006 to "measure the cost of the Nix approach".
Given that it uses /usr/bin/perl, I think this is safe to remove.

This was a dumb line-for-line rewrite, because nix build/nix run/etc.
will replace it.

Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed
application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused
by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of
searching in default location.
Either of next lines workaround the issue:
```sh
unset MANPATH
export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH
```
This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has
`MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of
user's preferences.)
As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

This is primarily to subsume the functionality of the
copy-from-other-stores substituter. For example, in the NixOS
installer, we can now do (assuming we're in the target chroot, and the
Nix store of the installation CD is bind-mounted on /tmp/nix):
$ nix-build ... --option substituters 'local?state=/tmp/nix/var&real=/tmp/nix/store'
However, unlike copy-from-other-stores, this also allows write access
to such a store. One application might be fetching substitutes for
/nix/store in a situation where the user doesn't have sufficient
privileges to create /nix, e.g.:
$ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=/home/alice/nix/var&real=/home/alice/nix/store" nix-build ...

This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.
|
|
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:
```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```
... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:
```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```
The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message. I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

Workaround to support ruby as an interpreter
|
|
Substitution is now simply a Store -> Store copy operation, most
typically from BinaryCacheStore to LocalStore.
|
|
This was added to support Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
|
|
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
|

|
Verification is slow. Also, we really shouldn't advise users to nuke
their store.

|
install-nix-from-closure improvments
|
|
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also
gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.
|
|
Use the same logic as NixOS' profile and environment setup. Closes #414

Just wasted a couple hours chasing shadows because the nix store got
corrupted and there was no indication of that anywhere.
Since an install is one-time only, might as well verify. Optimization
showed that the copied files aren't read-only; fixed that as well.
Also, use /bin/sh since there's a good chance that this script will be
run on systems without /bin/bash

This is currently only used by the Hydra queue runner rework, but like
eff5021eaa6dc69f65ea1a8abe8f3ab11ef5eb0a it presumably will be useful
for the C++ rewrite of nix-push and
download-from-binary-cache. (@shlevy)
