- Don't overwrite `nix-bitcoin-release.nix` on errors
- Show a message to indicate whether `nix-bitcoin-release.nix` was
updated
- Don't start a shell when called noninteractively
Also, update `usage.md` and reformat `shell.nix`.
The user's local node configuration directory usually contains a copy of
examples/shell.nix.
1. Move the shell implementation from shell.nix to nix-bitcoin/helper/makeShell.nix
Because the shell is no longer defined locally in the user's config
directory, we can now ship new shell features via nix-bitcoin updates.
2. Simplify examples/nix-bitcoin-release.nix
nix-bitcoin-release.nix, as generated via `fetch-release`, now
contains a simple fetchTarball statement which can be directly imported.
This allows us to get rid of the extra `nix-bitcoin-unpacked` derivation
which adds a dependency on the user's local nixpkgs.
To keep `fetch-release` as simple as possible for easy auditing, we just
fetch and verify a `nar-hash.txt` file that is now uploaded
via `push-release.sh`.
A migration guide for updating the user's local `shell.nix` is
automatically printed when the user starts a new shell after updating
nix-bitcoin.
This is achieved by throwing an error in `generate-secrets`, which is called
on shell startup.
This commit is required to deploy the new extensible `generate-secrets`
mechanism introduced in the next commit.
- Use idiomatic var name `pkgs` for the imported nixpkgs.
- Don't add `figlet` to PATH because it's only used internally.
- Only print figlet in interactive shells to avoid interfering with
stdout when running `nix-shell --run <cmd>`.
- Define `fetch-release` as a function to enable running it via
`nix-shell --run fetch-release`
- The scripts now work within arbitrary nix-shells.
Previously, they failed when run from nix shells other than
`examples/shell.nix`.
- The scripts now work from arbitrary working dirs.
generate-secrets failed due to the `PYTHONPATH` env var that was set
through the nixops19_09 buildInput.
Fixes:
- Don't pull in the build environments of binaries that should be
available in PATH. Only extend PATH instead.
- Run generate-secrets in an empty environment
This avoids an extra delay and the unexpected creation of secrets when
run in another dir.
Needed for the 'fetch-release' script introduced in a later commit.
Instead of forking this repo, it is now recommended that users simply import the
nix-bitcoin module. This commit adds an example directory that contains the
network/ examples and a shell.nix for deployment with nixops.
