Some small issues have been discovered, let's wait for these to be resolved, I'll include them here, and then wait a bit longer to see if something else comes up: |
Co-Authored-By: zowoq <59103226+zowoq@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit 437d00d)
On Darwin, /tmp is sometimes a symlink to /private/tmp, which couldn't
be handled before:
error: access to canonical path '/private/var/folders/xp/9_ry6h9x6l9gh_g32qspz0_40000gp/T/.tmpFbcNO0' is forbidden in restricted mode
This both fixes that and adds a test to make sure it can't happen again
(cherry picked from commit d518eb9)
We seem to have enough tests to run into this now:
error: creating symlink from '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/gcroots/profiles' to '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/profiles': File exists
(cherry picked from commit 9c9a7e0)

I now included the above two fixes, nothing else has come up since, I think this is good to be backported now. @ofborg build tests.nixpkgs-check-by-name |

Description of changes
This is the backport of #237439, as written in RFC 140.
Notably we only need to backport the first commit of that PR, since it introduces the machinery and documentation for the new
pkgs/by-namedirectory. The other two commits aren't strictly necessary:hellotopkgs/by-nameisn't necessaryLet's only merge this in a couple days once we're sure that #237439 works without problems.
Things done
pkgs/by-namewith some mistakes and verified that the tool detects them
