Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:
nix-env --help
The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".
To test this, I’m using the following:
$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help
Fixes#1627
This makes it slightly more manageable to see at a glance what in a
build's sandbox profile is unique to the build and what is standard. Also
a first step to factoring more of our Darwin logic into scheme functions
that will allow us a bit more flexibility. And of course less of that
nasty codegen in C++! 😀
Even with "build-use-sandbox = false", we now use sandboxing with a
permissive profile that allows everything except the creation of
setuid/setgid binaries.
Also, add rules to allow fixed-output derivations to access the
network.
These rules are sufficient to build stdenvDarwin without any
__sandboxProfile magic.
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.
This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).
Reported by Linus Heckemann.
And add a 116 KiB ash shell from busybox to the release build. This
helps to make sandbox builds work out of the box on non-NixOS systems
and with diverted stores.
We're going to use libseccomp instead of creating the raw BPF program,
because we have different syscall numbers on different architectures.
Although our initial seccomp rules will be quite small it really doesn't
make sense to generate the raw BPF program because we need to duplicate
it and/or make branches on every single architecture we want to suuport.

This is currently only used by the Hydra queue runner rework, but like
eff5021eaa it presumably will be useful
for the C++ rewrite of nix-push and
download-from-binary-cache. (@shlevy)
Previously, pkg-config was already queried for libsqlite3's and
libcurl's link flags. However they were not used, but hardcoded
instead. This commit replaces the hardcoded LDFLAGS by the ones
provided by pkg-config in a similar pattern as already used for
libsodium.
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.
