ee7fe64c0a == operator: Ignore string context
There really is no case I can think of where taking the context into
account is useful. Mostly it's just very inconvenient.

b1beed97a0 Report daemon OOM better
When copying a large path causes the daemon to run out of memory, you
now get:

  error: Nix daemon out of memory

instead of:

  error: writing to file: Broken pipe

829af22759 Print a warning when loading a large path into memory
I.e. if you have a derivation with

  src = ./huge-directory;

you'll get a warning that this is not a good idea.

d8c061e044 Remove ExprBuiltin
It's slower than ExprVar since it doesn't compute a static
displacement. Since we're not using the throw primop in the
implementation of <...> anymore, it's also not really needed.

62a6eeb1f3 Make the Nix search path declarative
Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile
nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can
override the search path simply by saying

  let
    nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ];
  in ... <nixpkgs> ...

In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit
c273c15cb1), the Nix search path can be
propagated across imports, e.g.

  let

    overrides = {
      nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath;
      import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
      scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
      builtins = builtins // overrides;
    };

  in scopedImport overrides ./nixos

a8edf185a9 Add constant ‘nixPath’
It contains the Nix expression search path as a list of { prefix, path
} sets, e.g.

  [ { path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos"; prefix = ""; }
    { path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"; prefix = "nixos-config"; }
    { path = "/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/share/nix/corepkgs"; prefix = "nix"; }
  ]

c273c15cb1 Add primop ‘scopedImport’
‘scopedImport’ works like ‘import’, except that it takes a set of
attributes to be added to the lexical scope of the expression,
essentially extending or overriding the builtin variables.  For
instance, the expression

  scopedImport { x = 1; } ./foo.nix

where foo.nix contains ‘x’, will evaluate to 1.

This has a few applications:

* It allows getting rid of function argument specifications in package
  expressions. For instance, a package expression like:

    { stdenv, fetchurl, libfoo }:

    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }

  can now we written as just

    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }

  and imported in all-packages.nix as:

    bar = scopedImport pkgs ./bar.nix;

  So whereas we once had dependencies listed in three places
  (buildInputs, the function, and the call site), they now only need
  to appear in one place.

* It allows overriding builtin functions. For instance, to trace all
  calls to ‘map’:

  let
    overrides = {
      map = f: xs: builtins.trace "map called!" (map f xs);

      # Ensure that our override gets propagated by calls to
      # import/scopedImport.
      import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;

      scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;

      # Also update ‘builtins’.
      builtins = builtins // overrides;
    };
  in scopedImport overrides ./bla.nix

* Similarly, it allows extending the set of builtin functions. For
  instance, during Nixpkgs/NixOS evaluation, the Nixpkgs library
  functions could be added to the default scope.

There is a downside: calls to scopedImport are not memoized, unlike
import. So importing a file multiple times leads to multiple parsings
/ evaluations. It would be possible to construct the AST only once,
but that would require careful handling of variables/environments.

9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

e974f20c98 Preload linked hashes to speed up lookups
By preloading all inodes in the /nix/store/.links directory, we can
quickly determine of a hardlinked file was already linked to the hashed
links.
This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.

a84f503d86 Shortcut already-hardlinked files
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.

There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.

Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.

700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!
