Commands like `nix flake metadata '.?submodules=1'` ignored the query
part of the URL, while `nix build '.?submodules=1#foo'` did work
correctly because of the presence of the fragment part.
When resolving indirect flake references like `nixpkgs` in `flake.nix`
files, Nix will no longer use the system and user flake registries. It
will only use the global flake registry and overrides given on the
command line via `--override-flake`.
Looks like some cruft has been left over from previous refactorings.
This removes dead variables, which should not have side effects in their
constructors. In cases where the variable initialization has a purpose
[[maybe_unused]] is inserted to silence compiler warnings.
Known behavior changes:
- `MemorySourceAccessor`'s comparison operators no longer forget to
compare the `SourceAccessor` base class.
Progress on #10832
What remains for that issue is hopefully much easier!
Progress on #5638
There are still a global fetcher and eval settings, but they are pushed
down into `libnixcmd`, which is a lot less bad a place for this sort of
thing.
