This progress on #11896. It introduces some issues temporarily which
will be fixed when #11928 is fixed.
The SQL tables are left in place because there is no point inducing a
migration now, when we will be immediately landing more changes after
this that also require schema changes. They will simply be ignored by in
this commit, and so all data will be preserved.
Add `html-manual` Meson option to allow building manpages without the
HTML manual, removing the mdbook dependency for manpage-only builds.
Changes:
- Add `html-manual` Meson option (default: true)
- Make HTML manual build conditional in meson.build
- Add `buildHtmlManual` parameter to package.nix
- Conditional outputs: ["out" "man"] when enabled, ["out"] when disabled
- Make mdbook/rsync/json-schema-for-humans dependencies conditional
- Add `nix-manual-manpages-only` package variant
This allows systems that only need manpages to avoid the mdbook build
dependency while preserving full functionality for HTML manual builds.
Also do a better JSON and testing for deep and shallow NAR listings.
As documented, this for file system objects themselves, since
`MemorySourceAccessor` is an implementation detail.
The old string format is a holdover from the pre JSON days. It is not
friendly to users who need to get the information out of it.
Also introduce the sort of versioning we have for derivation for this
format too.
- Use canonical content address JSON format for floating content
addressed derivation outputs
This keeps it more consistent.
- Reorganize inputs into nested structure (`inputs.srcs` and
`inputs.drvs`)
This will allow for an easier to use, but less compact, alternative
where `srcs` is just a list of derived paths.
It also allows for other experiments for derivations with a different
input structure, as I suspect will be needed for secure build traces.
This continues the work for formalizing our current JSON docs. Note that
in the process, a few bugs were caught:
- `closureSize` was repeated twice, forgot `closureDownloadSize`
- `file*` fields should be `download*`. They are in fact called that in
the line-oriented `.narinfo` file, but were renamed in the JSON
format.
We immediately use this in the JSON schemas for Derivation and Deriving
Path, but we cannot yet use it in Store Object Info because those paths
*do* include the store dir currently.
