Nix, the purely functional package manager
7af743470c
Thanks @regnat and @edolstra for catching this and comming up with the solution. They way I had generalized those is wrong, because local settings for non-local stores is confusing default. And due to the nature of C++ inheritance, fixing the defaults is more annoying than it should be. Additionally, I thought we might just drop the check in the substitution logic since `Store::addToStore` is now streaming, but @regnat rightfully pointed out that as it downloads dependencies first, that would still be too late, and also waste effort on possibly unneeded/unwanted dependencies. The simple and correct thing to do is just make a store method for the boolean logic, keeping all the setting and key stuff the way it was before. That new method is both used by `LocalStore::addToStore` and the substitution goal check. Perhaps we might eventually make it fancier, e.g. sending the ValidPathInfo to remote stores for them to validate, but this is good enough for now. |
