| Non-flake inputs now contain a `sourceInfo` attribute | 13164 | 13170 |
Flakes have always 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.
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.
This also means it is now possible to use ?dir=subdir on non-flake inputs.
This iterates on the work done in 2.26 to improve relative path support (#10089), and resolves a regression introduced in 2.28 relating to nested relative path inputs (#13164).
