The current backport action cannot automerge because
the github action bot does not trigger github CI actions.
Mergify instead does not have this limitation and can also
use a merge queue.
On top we have now a declarative configuration to allow
contributers to add new tests to required without having access
to the github org.
An example pull request and backport can be seen here:
https://github.com/Mic92/nix-1/pull/4
and here:
https://github.com/Mic92/nix-1/pull/5
To complete the setup the mergify app must be enabled for this repository.
It's already installed in the nixos organization for nixos-hardware and
other repositories.

Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our
default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid
clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time
while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.

In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).
This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:
- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to
As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.
Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.

This happens in parallel with the download (which starts later), so
you only see this message when the download has finished but the
import hasn't.

We are piping curl downloads into `unpackTarfileToSink()`, but the
latter is typically slower than the former if you're on a fast
connection. So the download could appear unnecessarily slow. (There is
even a risk that if the Git import is *really* slow for whatever
reason, the TCP connection could time out.)
So let's make the download buffer bigger by default - 64 MiB is big
enough for the Nixpkgs tarball. Perhaps in the future, we could have
an unlimited buffer that spills data to disk beyond a certain
threshold, but that's probably overkill.

- Fix eval cache not being persisted in `nix develop` (since #10570)
- Don't attempt to commit cache transaction if there is no active transaction, which will spew errors in edge cases
- Drive-by: trivial typo fix

When --unpack was used the nix would add the current directory to the
nix store instead of the content of unpacked.
The reason for this is that std::distance already consumes the iterator.
To fix this we re-instantiate the directory iterator in case the
directory only contains a single entry.

The recent fix for CVE-2024-38531 broke the sandbox on macOS
completely. As it’s not practical to use `chroot(2)` on
macOS, the build takes place in the main filesystem tree, and the
world‐unreadable wrapper directory prevents the build from accessing
its `$TMPDIR` at all.
The macOS sandbox probably shouldn’t be treated as any kind of a
security boundary in its current state, but this specific vulnerability
wasn’t possible to exploit on macOS anyway, as creating `set{u,g}id`
binaries is blocked by sandbox policy.
Locking down the build sandbox further may be a good idea in future,
but it already has significant compatibility issues. For now, restore
the previous status quo on macOS.
Thanks to @alois31 for helping me come to a better understanding of
the vulnerability.

After the fix for CVE-2024-38531, this was only removing the nested
build directory, rather than the top‐level temporary directory.

This is useful for testing/debugging and maybe for sharing eval caches
(since it tells you what file in ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v5 to copy).

GitHub Actions seems to have magically switched architectures
without changing their identifiers.
See 2813ee66cb/README.md (available-images)
Maybe they have more complete documentation elsewhere, but it
seems to be incapable of selecting a runner based on architecture.
