From 20012d5c911eda931990e2076e37c4c6bc2d5be2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wael Nasreddine Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:59:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: Add NAR URL normalization function and support dashes/underscores in hashes Add Normalize() method to nar.URL to handle NAR URLs with embedded narinfo hash prefixes. Some upstream caches (like nix-serve) serve NAR URLs with the narinfo hash as a prefix (e.g., "narinfo-hash-actual-hash"). This method strips the prefix by identifying the first separator (dash or underscore) and removing everything before it. Changes: - pkg/nar/url.go: Add Normalize() method and supporting logic - pkg/nar/hash.go: Update narHashPattern to allow dashes and underscores ([a-z0-9_-]+) - pkg/nar/url_test.go: Add TestNormalize with three test cases (no prefix, dash-separated, underscore-separated) - testdata/nar7.go: Update to use prefixed hash format for testing This enables parsing and normalizing NAR URLs from sources that include hash prefixes, which will be applied consistently across cache, storage, and test layers in subsequent commits.
