store all the derivers of a path efficiently. But that opens a big
can of worms with respect to garbage collector semantics.

to make the Refs table more space-efficient. For instance, this
reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18
MiB. (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1
KiB block size.)

hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
command is already monitoring the real build.
|
|
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the
`max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a
long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the
Hydra build farm.

sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin

_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

(This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
to fail.)

complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in
the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths
almost immediately.

(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

intersectAttrs returns the (right-biased) intersection between two
attribute sets, e.g. every attribute from the second set that also
exists in the first. functionArgs returns the set of attributes
expected by a function.
The main goal of these is to allow the elimination of most of
all-packages.nix. Most package instantiations in all-packages.nix
have this form:
foo = import ./foo.nix {
inherit a b c;
};
With intersectAttrs and functionArgs, this can be written as:
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { };
where
callPackage = f: args:
f ((builtins.intersectAttrs (builtins.functionArgs f) pkgs) // args);
I.e., foo.nix is called with all attributes from "pkgs" that it
actually needs (e.g., pkgs.a, pkgs.b and pkgs.c). (callPackage can
do any other generic package-level stuff we might want, such as
applying makeOverridable.) Of course, the automatically supplied
arguments can be overriden if needed, e.g.
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) {
c = c_version_2;
};
but for the vast majority of packages, this won't be needed.
The advantages are to reduce the amount of typing needed to add a
dependency (from three sites to two), and to reduce the number of
trivial commits to all-packages.nix. For the former, there have
been two previous attempts:
- Use "args: with args;" in the package's function definition.
This however obscures the actual expected arguments of a
function, which is very bad.
- Use "{ arg1, arg2, ... }:" in the package's function definition
(i.e. use the ellipis "..." to allow arbitrary additional
arguments), and then call the function with all of "pkgs" as an
argument. But this inhibits error detection if you call it with
an misspelled (or obsolete) argument.

NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and
generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages
should be self-contained.

UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some
programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template
Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008
fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
patched because it's closed source.
This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
warnings.

attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'. This is useful in
expressions such as
rec {
lib = import ./lib;
inherit (lib) concatStrings;
}
It does change the semantics of expressions such as
let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y
This now returns 2 instead of 1. However, no code in Nixpkgs or
NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.

shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}. This is especially useful
for NixOS configuration files, e.g.
{
services = {
sshd = {
enable = true;
port = 2022;
};
};
}
can now be written as
{
services.sshd.enable = true;
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
However, it is currently not permitted to write
{
services.sshd = {enable = true;};
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'.
