"content-address*ed*" derivation is misleading because all derivations
are *themselves* content-addressed. What may or may not be
content-addressed is not derivation itself, but the *output* of the
derivation.
The outputs are not *part* of the derivation (for then the derivation
wouldn't be complete before we built it) but rather separate entities
produced by the derivation.
"content-adddress*ed*" is not correctly because it can only describe
what the derivation *is*, and that is not what we are trying to do.
"content-address*ing*" is correct because it describes what the
derivation *does* --- it produces content-addressed data.
This is a big step documenting the store layer on its own, separately from the evaluator (and `builtins.derivation`).

Curl creates sockets without setting FD_CLOEXEC/SOCK_CLOEXEC, this can
cause connections to remain open forever when using commands like `nix
shell`
This change sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag using a CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION
callback.
This seems to be the way to do it now, even though I can't run them
without setting at least one env var.
I'll only fix shellcheck for now. Don't shoot the messenger.
It isn't quite clear to me why the previous commit masked this problem,
but I'm glad shellcheck has an effect or more effect now.
Note that this is just a script that is meant to run outside a
derivation (but also can be called by a derivation builder).
`touch $out` does not belong in it.
`touch $out` worked accidentally in the derivation-based check,
and also in the dev shell, but if pre-commit is invoked without
the dev shell it would fail.
This uses the single-threaded C-based routines from libblake3.
This is not optimal performance-wise but should be a good starting point
for nix compatibility with BLAKE3 hashing until a more performant
implementation based on the multi-threaded BLAKE3 routines
(written in Rust) can be developed.
This fixes dynamic derivations, reverting #9081.
I believe that this time around, #9052 is fixed. When I first rebased
this, tests were failing (which wasn't the case before). The cause of
those test failures were due to the crude job in which the outer goal
tried to exit with the inner goal's status.
Now, that error handling has been reworked to be more faithful. The exit
exit status and exception of the inner goal is returned by the outer
goal. The exception was what was causing the test failures, but I
believe it was not having the right error code (there is more than one
for failure) that caused #9081.
The only cost of doing things the "right way" was that I had to
introduce a hacky `preserveException` boolean. I don't like this, but,
then again, none of us like anything about how the scheduler works.
Issue #11927 is still there to clean everything up, subsuming the need
for any `preserveException` because I doubt we will be fishing
information out of state machines like this at all.
This reverts commit 8440afbed7.

Using `set --local` is better than using `set`/`set --erase`. `--local`
will preserve any existing `NIX_LINK` value. And the local variable is
automatically removed for any execution path.
This allows a flake to specify that it needs Git submodules to be
enabled (or disabled, if we ever change the default) on the top-level
flake. This requires the input to be refetched, but since the first
fetch is lazy, this shouldn't be expensive.
Currently the only attribute allowed by `inputs.self` is `submodules`,
but more can be added in the future (e.g. a `lazy` attribute to opt in
to lazy tree behaviour).
Fixes#5312, #9842.
It seems reasonable to add the `share` folder from the user profile into
`$XDG_DATA_DIRS` both for daemon and profile execution. Nix could add
package shared files into this folder regardless of how the nix daemon
itself is running.
