This validates the size of reference digests in the PathInfo message, as well as inside the narinfo submessage. If narinfo is set, they need to parse to StorePath, and have the same digest there as in the PathInfo message. `proto::tests::pathinfo::validate_references` needed to be updated, because we actually did not populate the proper references before.

//tvix/store
This contains the code hosting the tvix-store.
For the local store, Nix realizes files on the filesystem in /nix/store
(and
maintains some metadata in a SQLite database). For "remote stores", it
communicates this metadata in NAR (Nix ARchive) and NARInfo format.
Compared to the Nix model, tvix-store
stores data on a much more granular
level than that, which provides more deduplication possibilities, and more
granular copying.
However, enough information is preserved to still be able to render NAR and NARInfo when needed.
More Information
The store consists out of two different gRPC services, tvix.castore.v1
for
the low-level content-addressed bits, and tvix.store.v1
for the Nix and
StorePath
-specific bits.
Check the protos/
subfolder both here and in castore
for the definition of
the exact RPC methods and messages.
Interacting with the GRPC service manually
The shell environment in //tvix
provides evans
, which is an interactive
REPL-based gPRC client.
You can use it to connect to a tvix-store
and call the various RPC methods.
$ cargo run -- daemon &
$ evans --host localhost --port 8000 -r repl

Thanks to tvix-store
providing gRPC Server Reflection (with reflection
feature), you don't need to point evans
to the .proto
files.
