f25112d383 fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPaths 
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command 
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello
[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS

gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.

00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop 
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

doc: builtins: use a definition list 
This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).

Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!

31313d1401 Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslash 
They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).

distributed builds: load remote builder host key from the machines file 
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing
a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service
discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.

Respect command registrations in plugins. 2021-02-24 08:25:45 -05:00
Shea Levy
98d1b64400
Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags 
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Fix Haskell example 
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.
When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https.
So this switches the example to a different http library.

Adds Nix CLI Guideline to docs 
As we are working towards Nix 3.0 we want to make sure that we make a
huge step forward in Nix's user experience. And once 3.0 is out of the
door we need to make sure that all future commands and features keep up
the standard of user experience.

This PR adds a CLI guideline document to the Nix documentation. Consider
this document a good starting point and a checklist when somebody will
be (re)implementing commands.

Clearly this guideline does nothing to improve user experience on its
own and can only be useful as long as it is going to be read and
cared for. But it is a first step into that direction.

nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flag 
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice
when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to
nix-prefetch-url.

I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little
executable:

1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script
2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix
3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts
4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix
5. Run the executable

I repeated the above while using --name, as well.

I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with
--unpack, but I have not tried it.
