On very large graphs (14k+ paths), we'd end up with a massive in
memory tree of mostly duplication.
We can safely cache trees and point back to them later, saving
memory.
While it is not obvious from the source, cargo sets CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR to an absolute directory. This let to a build problem with the popular "tera" crate using the "pest" crate.
## Cargo details
The variable is set here:
f7c91ba622/src/cargo/core/compiler/compilation.rs (L229)
and computed from the `manifest_path`:
f7c91ba622/src/cargo/core/package.rs (L163)
The manifest path is also exported via `cargo metadata` where you can see that it is absolute.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
The execlineb program is the launcher (and lexer) of execline scripts.
So it makes a lot of sense to have all the small tools in scope by
default.
We append to the end of PATH so that they can be easily overwritten by
the user.

The appimageTools attrset contains utilities to prevent
the usage of appimage-run to package AppImages, like done/attempted
in #49370 and #53156.
This has the advantage of allowing for per-package environment changes,
and extracts into the store instead of the users home directory.
The package list was extracted into appimageTools to prevent
duplication.
bcf54ce5bb introduced a treewide change to
use ${stdenv.shell} where-ever possible. However, this broke a script
used by dockerTools, store-path-to-layer.sh, as it did not preserve the
+x mode bit. This meant the file got put into the store as mode 0444,
resulting in a build-time error later on that looked like:
xargs: /nix/store/jixivxhh3c8sncp9xlkc4ls3y5f2mmxh-store-path-to-layer.sh: Permission denied
However, in a twist of fate, bcf54ce5bb
not only introduced this regression but, in this particular instance,
didn't even fix the original bug: the store-path-to-layer.sh script
*still* uses /bin/sh as its shebang line, rather than an absolute path
to stdenv. (Fixing this can be done in a separate commit.)

The original change in #55372 was supposed to fix the case where a store
path which is a file should be placed into `buildEnv` which broke with a
fairly misleading Perl error.
Unfortunately this introduced a regression, `findFiles` can have targets
that are files if the file isn't a store path. Rather than adding more
obscure checks with probably further regressions, I figured that it's
better to replicate the behavior of `lib.isStorePath` and explicitly
check if the store path is a file and break in this case only.
This should also fix recent staging issues.
I noticed by creating `buildEnv` where I accidentally put a derivation
from `pkgs.writeText` into `paths` and got a broken build with the
following misleading error message:
```
Use of uninitialized value $stat1 in numeric ne (!=) at /nix/store/9g4wc31j7a2xp22xpgwr0qssfxahxdzl-builder.pl line 74.
Use of uninitialized value $stat1 in bitwise and (&) at /nix/store/9g4wc31j7a2xp22xpgwr0qssfxahxdzl-builder.pl line 75.
different permissions in `' and `/nix/store/0vy5ss91laxvwkyvrbld5hv27i88qk5w-noise': 0000 <-> 0444 at /nix/store/9g4wc31j7a2xp22xpgwr0qssfxahxdzl-builder.pl line 75.
```
It can be reproduced with an expression like this:
``` nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
let
file = pkgs.writeText "test" ''
content
'';
in
pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "test-env";
paths = [ /* ... */ file ];
}
```
In combination with carnix we can now build crates that require a
specific edition of rust features. A few crates started requiring that
already and having this in nixpkgs is just logical.
This patch preserves the ordering of layers of a parent image when the
new image is packed.
It is currently not the case: layers are stacked in the reverse order.
Fixes#55290
