By writing the unchecked outputs before checking them, they will
be written to a store path, which appears in the log, and which
sticks around even if the build fails. Eventually it is GCed, but
until then, you can open the file.
If you run it in a terminal+editor combination like VSCode, the
failure location is just one Ctrl+click away.
The `nixos-rebuild` tool calls `get-version-suffix` to figure out the
git revision of the nixpkgs directory if there is a .git.
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24765 made git throw an
error if the .git search logic is not turned off and a user
tries to access a `.git` directory they don’t own (otherwise a
different user could trick them into setting arbitrary git config).
So from now on we should always explicitely set `--git-dir`, which
turns this search logic (and thus the security check) off.
I have read the full diff[0] between the previous owner and the new
maintained fork that I'm switching to, and could not find any suspicious
code. The new fork includes fixes that are otherwise crashing as of
Python 3.10.
This commit also fixes the PYTHONPATH which prevents the client from
starting.
This commit also adds a test that the client can successfully query the
server, testing the two components at once.

It was never meant to be used for anything other than testing
and setting it globally can cause weird loops in GTK-based portals,
where the portal will end up waiting for itself until it times out.

Or it can mess up fonts:

Having the option in NixOS makes it look like it is okay or even
desirable to enable, when in fact it is a hack that can subtly break apps.
Some apps allow opting into using portal-based APIs, e.g. for Firefox,
you can set `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker` to `1` in about:config.
Otherwise, you can set the `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable to 1
for individual apps.
People who really want it and aware of the downsides can just set
`environment.sessionVariables.GTK_USE_PORTAL = "1";` NixOS option
directly to set the environment variable globally.
