Eelco Dolstra 5b74a59570 * nix-prefetch-url: don't fail if /tmp/nix-prefetch-url-<pid> exists,
instead use a counter just like we do for temporary build
  directories.
2007-11-05 18:12:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26f981c2e5 * Remove garbage. 2007-09-18 08:26:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dbc0170ed9 * Show errors in nix-prefetch-url. 2007-08-15 09:24:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5e52df18fe * Don't rely on /dev/stdin. 2007-08-10 00:22:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f881f7a017 * nix-prefetch-url: support caching. If the environment variable
NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is set, then nix-prefetch-url will store the hash
  and timestamp of downloaded files in the directory
  $NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE.  This allows it to figure out if the file is
  still in the Nix store.

Eelco Dolstra cafaceb707 * Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie. 2006-12-15 21:27:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d17265ac4 * Don't use EPSV. 2006-10-28 22:07:09 +00:00
Armijn Hemel a61129c48c add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on 2006-08-05 00:33:52 +00:00
Armijn Hemel f1947cce93 prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. 2006-08-05 00:31:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c815aff21b * `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output
derivations.  This is mostly to simplify the implementation of
  nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid
  installations.

* Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
2005-04-07 14:01:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5675d5f488 * Idem. 2005-03-14 18:55:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5863f24722 * Print SHA-1 hashes in base-32 by default. 2005-03-14 17:05:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 536f324177 * nix-install-package: install outPath, not drvPath, for now.
* nix-prefecth-url: print out in base-16.
2005-03-11 15:27:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3259ae5811 * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it
too.
* Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since
  that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather
  unlikely there).
2005-02-24 17:36:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a2c3f0cf2 * Support for fixed-output hashes over directory trees (i.e., over the
NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-22 21:14:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 066da4ab85 * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure
invariant by registering references through the manifest.
* Added a test for nix-pull.
2005-01-25 17:08:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3dc231250 * Removed the `id' attribute hack.
* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
  for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
  Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
  dependency graph.  Previously this was done by specifying the hash
  component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
  insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
  and then produce a completely different output).  Now the
  responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
  Nix itself.

  A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
  `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
  values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
  actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
  at the length of the attribute value).  MD5 is included for
  compatibility but should be considered deprecated.

* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results.  It's
  no longer necessary.

* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
  expressions.  Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
  `devel', `docs').  Previously there was no way to tell output paths
  apart at the store expression level.

* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
  be printed in base-32 notation.

* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
  `md5'.

* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32.  (TODO: a
  flag to specify the hash.)
2005-01-17 16:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7eed57e784 * Sync with changed substitute mechanism.
* Accept the NarHash line.
* Clear substitutes in `nix-channel --update'.
2004-12-20 14:57:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dca48aed34 * Allow an optional hash to be provided. This prevents redundant
fetches.
2004-12-13 13:35:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 88888160d2 * Fix nix-prefetch-url in setuid Nix installations. 2004-10-20 14:40:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37ee6cef99 * Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism. 2004-06-21 09:51:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 21655a70f5 * Channels. These allow you to stay current with an evolving set of
Nix expressions.

  To subscribe to a channel (needs to be done only once):

    nix-channel --add \
      http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

  This just adds the given URL to ~/.nix-channels (which can also be
  edited manually).

  To update from all channels:

    nix-channel --update

  This fetches the latest expressions and pulls cache manifests.  The
  default Nix expression (~/.nix-defexpr) is made to point to the
  conjunction of the expressions downloaded from all channels.

  So to update all installed derivations in the current user
  environment:

    nix-channel --update
    nix-env --upgrade '*'

  If you are really courageous, you can put this in a cronjob or
  something.

  You can subscribe to multiple channels.  It is not entirely clear
  what happens when there are name clashes between derivations from
  different channels.  From nix-env/main.cc it appears that the one
  with the lowest (highest?) hash will be used, which is pretty
  meaningless.

Eelco Dolstra 7f0ed370da * Use $(storedir) instead of $(prefix)/store. 2004-02-20 11:32:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92e832348d * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e.,
  `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended.

2004-02-10 16:14:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-12-01 14:36:50 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra e374dbf89b * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix
store, and print its hash.
