This has been the behaviour before Nix 2.4. It was dropped in a rewrite
in 759947bf72, allowing the creation of
store paths that aren't considered valid by older Nix versions or other
Nix tooling.
Nix 2.4 didn't ship in NixOS until 22.05, and stdenv.mkDerivation in
nixpkgs drops leading periods since April 2022, so it's unlikely anyone
is relying on the current lax behaviour.
Closes#9091.

(cherry picked from commit 24bda0c7b3)
This highlights a problem caused by SSHMaster::isMasterRunning returning
false when NIX_SSHOPTS contains -oControlPath.
(cherry picked from commit 5454fdcceb)
This is necessary when we're in a chroot environment, where the
process root is not the same as the root of the mount namespace
(e.g. in nixos-enter).
Fixes#7602.
(cherry picked from commit e54538c461)
Uninstall instructions were moved to their own page in #8267. The
overall section link was redirected in #8286, but platform-specific
links (which I give out frequently when I triage installer trouble)
weren't included.

The bug fix in 6d30f9e6fe erroneously
cleared O_NONBLOCK on the server rather than client FD (leaving both
in an incorrect state).
Fixes#8551.
(cherry picked from commit a6a75ecad8)
The `hashed-mirrors` option did use to have this default value,
but it was removed and re-added with an empty default value.
As the autogenerated docs show the (actual) default values from code,
remove this incorrect reference from the docs.
I was updating my nix.conf settings after a few years and noticed this.

And fix a test failure in the sandbox due to /home
existing on Darwin but not being accessible in the sandbox since it's a
symlink to /System/Volumes/Data/home, see
7297384658 (step):6:2127:
C++ exception with description "error: getting status of /home/schnitzel/darmstadt/pommes: Operation not permitted" thrown in the test body.
On Linux this wasn't a problem because there /home doesn't exist in the sandbox
The primop `builtins.replaceStrings` currently always strictly evaluates the
replacement strings, however time and space are wasted for their computation
if the corresponding pattern do not occur in the input string. This commit
makes the evaluation of the replacement strings lazy by deferring their
evaluation to when the corresponding pattern are matched and memoize the result
for efficient retrieval on subsequent matches.
The testcases for replaceStrings was updated to check for lazy evaluation
of the replacements. A note was also added in the release notes to
document the behavior change.
macOS Ventura ships with it's own version of diff. Try to output a
similar diff with Apple diff as with GNU diff, instead of failing
Helps https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7286
When encountering a build error, Nix moves the output paths out of the
chroot into their final location (for “easier debugging of build
failures”). However this was broken for chroot stores as it was moving
it to the _logical_ location, not the _physical_ one.
Fix it by moving to the physical (_real_) location.
