- Rename `nix profile install` to [`nix profile add`] [#13224](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13224)
|
||||
|
||||
The command `nix profile install` has been renamed to `nix profile add` (though the former is still available as an alias). This is because the verb "add" is a better antonym for the verb "remove" (i.e. `nix profile remove`). Nix also does not have install hooks or general behavior often associated with "installing".

While we have the setting `allow-import-from-derivation` to deny import-from-derivation (IFD), sometimes users would like to observe IFDs during CI processes to gradually phase out the idiom. The new setting `trace-import-from-derivation`, when set, logs a simple warning to the console.

- Non-flake inputs now contain a `sourceInfo` attribute [#13164](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13164) [#13170](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13170)
|
||||
|
||||
Flakes have always had a `sourceInfo` attribute which describes the source of the flake.
|
||||
The `sourceInfo.outPath` is often identical to the flake's `outPath`. However, it can differ when the flake is located in a subdirectory of its source.
|
||||
|
||||
Non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs with `flake = false`) can also be located at some path _within_ a wider source.
|
||||
Non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs with [`flake = false`]) can also be located at some path _within_ a wider source.
|
||||
This usually happens when defining a relative path input within the same source as the parent flake, e.g. `inputs.foo.url = ./some-file.nix`.
|
||||
Such relative inputs will now inherit their parent's `sourceInfo`.

## Miscellaneous changes

- [`builtins.sort`] uses PeekSort [#12623](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12623)

Previously it used libstdc++'s `std::stable_sort()`. However, that implementation is not reliable if the user-supplied comparison function is not a strict weak ordering.

|

Since Nix 1.3 (299141ecbd08bae17013226dbeae71e842b4fdd7 in 2013) Nix has attempted to mix together upstream fresh builds and downstream substitutions when remote substuters contain an "incomplete closure" (have some store objects, but not the store objects they reference).

Since Nix 1.3 ([commit `299141e`] in 2013) Nix has attempted to mix together upstream fresh builds and downstream substitutions when remote substuters contain an "incomplete closure" (have some store objects, but not the store objects they reference).
|
||||
This feature is now removed.
|
||||
|
||||
In the worst case, removing this feature could cause more building downstream, but it should not cause outright failures, since this is not happening for opaque store objects that we don't know how to build if we decide not to substitute.
