For one particular NixOS configuration, this cut the runtime of
"nix-store -r --dry-run" from 6m51s to 3.4s. It also fixes a bug in
the size calculation that was causing certain paths to be counted
twice, e.g. before:
these paths will be fetched (1249.98 MiB download, 2995.74 MiB unpacked):
and after:
these paths will be fetched (1219.56 MiB download, 2862.17 MiB unpacked):

This speeds up queries against the binary cache.

This way, all builds appear to have a uid/gid of 0 inside the
chroot. In the future, this may allow using programs like
systemd-nspawn inside builds, but that will require assigning a larger
UID/GID map to the build.
Issue #625.

This allows an unprivileged user to perform builds on a diverted store
(i.e. where the physical store location differs from the logical
location).
Example:
$ NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/log NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var" nix-build -E \
'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { buildInputs = [procps nettools]; } "id; ps; ifconfig; echo $out > $out"'
will do a build in the Nix store physically in /tmp/store but
logically in /nix/store (and thus using substituters for the latter).

This is a convenience command to allow users who are not privileged to
create /nix/store to use Nix with regular binary caches. For example,
$ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=$HOME/nix/var&real=/$HOME/nix/store" nix run firefox bashInteractive
will download Firefox and bash from cache.nixos.org, then start a
shell in which $HOME/nix/store is mounted on /nix/store.

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 ...
|

E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".

This ensures that the disappearance of upstream bootstrap tarballs
(e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/pull/1) doesn't break
stdenv rebuilds.

Also, test HttpBinaryCacheStore in addition to LocalBinaryCacheStore.

Apparently opinion is divided on whether [[noreturn]] is allowed on a
lambda: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26888805/how-to-declare-a-lambdas-operator-as-noreturn

This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.

This is now done in LocalStore::addToStore(), rather than in the
binary cache substituter (which no longer exists).

As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when
copying paths between stores.
Also refactored import/export to make use of this.

The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation
time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be
changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function,
with works at build time.)
Example:
(import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello
or
(import (builtins.fetchgit {
url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels;
rev = "nixos-16.03";
}) {}).hello
Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.

Other stores don't do this either. It's up to the caller to check
signatures.
|
|
This is to allow store-specific configuration,
e.g. s3://my-cache?compression=bzip2&secret-key=/path/to/key.
