installer: simplify the per-build installation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The goal is to allow the installation and testing of arbitrary Nix
versions. Extend the base installer to accept a `--tarball-url-prefix
<url>` to change where the Nix tarball is getting downloaded from.

Once this is merged it should allow to:
1. Pick an evaluation at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master that
   looks healthy
2. Select the installedScript build and find the store path.

Now equipped with all of this, use an instance of nar-serve to fetch the
install script and release tarballs:

    curl -sfL https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv-installer-script/install \
      | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store

Or with cachix, strip the /nix/store and derivation name and then:

    curl -sfL https://mycache.cachix.org/serve/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv/install \
      | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://mycache.cachix.org/serve

Fixes NixOS#4047
