This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime
closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure:
$ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
/nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1:
lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…
/nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev:
nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…
Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's
nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.

Also some refactoring.

This is useful for testing commands in isolation.
For example,
$ nix run nixpkgs.geeqie -i -k DISPLAY -k XAUTHORITY -c geeqie
runs geeqie in an empty environment, except for $DISPLAY and
$XAUTHORITY.
|
|
E.g.
nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo
Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is
necessary.
"-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they
both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't
start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.

Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g.
$ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello
stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The
obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there
is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that
the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for
some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads.
So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix
__run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().

These are assumed to be internal.
|
|
And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v
flags.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So the progress bar can show
[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
|
|
In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X")
to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").
|
|
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/59390148
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead
of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This replaces "nix-store --optimise". Main difference is that it has a
progress indicator.
|
|
|

They're the same thing after all.
Example:
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
|
|
E.g.
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
|
|
It now shows the amount of data copied:
[8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'

The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):
First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m6.516s
Second run: (package search cache populated)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m0.143s
