Before one would get the following error
nix-repl> pkgs.writeTextDir "share/my-file" "foo"
error: invalid character '/' in name 'share/my-file'
Fixes #50347
Previously the installPhase of the fixed ouput derivation would fail for
a package that has no markers, since `sed` would complain about having
no input files. If we use `find` instead of bash globs, that problem
goes away.
mergeInputs is now simply defined in terms of `concatLists` and
`catAttrs` instead of a more complicated `foldr`.
Note that the order of PATH has also changed. For example running the
following with nix-shell:
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
shell1 = pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [ pkgs.htop ];
};
shell2 = pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [ pkgs.hello ];
};
shell3 = pkgs.mkShell {
inputsFrom = [ shell1 shell2 ];
buildInputs = [ pkgs.tree ];
};
in shell3
Results in the following PATH:
$ echo $PATH
...
/nix/store/yifq4bikf7m07160bpia7z48ciqddbfi-tree-1.8.0/bin:
/nix/store/vhxqk81234ivqw1a7j200a1c69k8mywi-htop-2.2.0/bin:
/nix/store/n9vm3m58y1n3rg3mlll17wanc9hln58k-hello-2.10/bin
...
Previously the order was:
/nix/store/n9vm3m58y1n3rg3mlll17wanc9hln58k-hello-2.10/bin
/nix/store/vhxqk81234ivqw1a7j200a1c69k8mywi-htop-2.2.0/bin:
/nix/store/yifq4bikf7m07160bpia7z48ciqddbfi-tree-1.8.0/bin:
I think the new order makes more sense because it allows to override
the PATH in the outermost mkShell.
Running the following expression with nix-shell:
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
shell1 = pkgs.mkShell {
shellHook = ''
echo shell1
'';
};
shell2 = pkgs.mkShell {
shellHook = ''
echo shell2
'';
};
shell3 = pkgs.mkShell {
inputsFrom = [ shell1 shell2 ];
shellHook = ''
echo shell3
'';
};
in shell3
Will now results in:
shell2
shell1
shell3
Note that packages in the front of inputsFrom have precedence over
packages in the back. The outermost mkShell has precedence over all.
The previous behaviour would work fine as long as `symlink` is a link to
a file. If is a link to a directory though, the new `ln` wouldn't
overwrite it but would create a new link *in that directory* (with the
name of the link source).
Instead, we can precompute the target location, then first remove the
symlink and write the new one in its place.
After bumping sublime3 in #61636 we realized that saving files as root
doesn’t work anymore and somehow the paths weren’t patched by
`libredirect`.
After some debugging it came out that Sublime switched from `posix_spawn(3)`
to `posix_spawnp(3)` to start new processes internally. Since `libredirect`
only handled the former, `/usr/bin/pkexec` stopped being redirected.
Wrapping `posix_spawnp` fixes the problem.
PR #58431 added /nix/store to each layer.tar. However, the timestamp was
not explicitly set while adding /nix and /nix/store to the archive. This
resulted in different SHA256 hashes of layer.tar between image builds.
This change sets time and owner when tar'ing /nix/store.
