With this option enabled, baseDir is mostly cleared on each startup before it's populated according to the configuration. (logs and work subdirectories are preserved.)

This prevents remainders of an old configuration (libraries, webapps, you name it) from persisting after activating a new configuration.

This is an alternative implementation of #44303, using the "whitelist" approach. (#44303 uses "blacklist" approach.)

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
