Support SRI hashes
SRI hashes (https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) combine the hash algorithm and
a base-64 hash. This allows more concise and standard hash
specifications. For example, instead of

  import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
    url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
    sha256 = "5d22dad058d5c800d65a115f919da22938c50dd6ba98c5e3a183172d149840a4";
  };

you can write

  import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
    url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
    hash = "sha256-XSLa0FjVyADWWhFfkZ2iKTjFDda6mMXjoYMXLRSYQKQ=";
  };

In fixed-output derivations, the outputHashAlgo is no longer mandatory
if outputHash specifies the hash (either as an SRI or in the old
"<type>:<hash>" format).

'nix hash-{file,path}' now print hashes in SRI format by default. I
also reverted them to use SHA-256 by default because that's what we're
using most of the time in Nixpkgs.

Suggested by @zimbatm.

Test: Replace --option with the corresponding flag 2017-11-20 17:50:49 +01:00

Always use base-16 for hashed mirror lookups
In particular, don't use base-64, which we don't support. (We do have
base-32 redirects for hysterical reasons.)

Also, add a test for the hashed mirror feature.

Make the hashes mirrors used by builtins.fetchurl configurable
In particular, this allows it to be disabled in our tests.

Support base-64 hashes
Also simplify the Hash API.

Fixes #1437.

Eelco Dolstra 1f735a3440 <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support xz-compressed NARs 2015-10-30 12:34:30 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra dae5dc7ade <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support downloading and unpacking NARs
This removes the need to have multiple downloads in the stdenv
bootstrap process (like a separate busybox binary for Linux, or
curl/mkdir/sh/bzip2 for Darwin). Now all those files can be combined
into a single NAR.
