The nixpkgs manual prescribes the use of values from stdenv.lib.licenses
for the meta.license attribute. Those values are attribute sets and
currently skipped when running nix-env with '--xml --meta'. This has the
consequence that also nixpkgs-lint will report missing licenses.
With this commit nix-env with '--xml --meta' will print all attributes
of an attribute set that are of type tString. For example the output for
the package nixpkgs.hello is
<meta name="license" type="strings">
<string type="url" value="http://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+" />
<string type="shortName" value="gpl3Plus" />
<string type="fullName" value="GNU General Public License v3.0 or later" />
<string type="spdxId" value="GPL-3.0+" />
</meta>
This commit fixes nixpkgs-lint, too.
* request handling split into multiple smaller handlers
* use request methods in various places instead of different routes
* some minor updates to admin page
Temporarily allow derivations to describe their full sandbox profile.
This will be eventually scaled back to a more secure setup, see the
discussion at #695
Nix reports a hash mismatch saying:
output path ‘foo’ should have sha256 hash ‘abc’, instead has ‘xyz’
That message is slightly ambiguous and some people read that statement
to mean the exact opposite of what it is supposed to mean. After this
patch, the message will be:
Nix expects output path ‘foo’ to have sha256 hash ‘abc’, instead it has ‘xyz’
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
