Instead of requiring the server component to be made aware of the
location of the Nix builder via environment variables, this commit
introduces a wrapper script for the builder that can simply exist on
the builders $PATH.
This is one step towards a slightly nicer out-of-the-box experience
when using `nix-build -A nixery-bin`.
This commit adds the actual logic for extracting layer groupings and
merging them until the layer budget is satisfied.
The implementation conforms to the design doc as of the time of this
commit.
This script generates an entry in a text file for each time a
derivation is referred to by another in nixpkgs.
For initial testing, this output can be turned into group-layers
compatible JSON with this *trivial* invocation:
cat output | awk '{ print "{\"" $2 "\":" $1 "}"}' | jq -s '. | add | with_entries(.key |= sub("/nix/store/[a-z0-9]+-";""))' > test-data.json
As described in the design document, this adds considerations for
closure size and popularity. All closures meeting a certain threshold
for either value will have an extra edge from the image root to
themselves inserted in the graph, which will cause them to be
considered for inclusion in a separate layer.
This is preliminary because popularity is considered as a boolean
toggle (the input I generated only contains the top ~200 most popular
packages), but it should be using either absolute popularity values or
percentiles (needs some experimentation).
