This reverts commit 80ebd60e7c. The
reason why we cleared CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was because otherwise we get a
default value of -O2, which interferes with the defaults set in the
Makefile. (E.g. "make OPTIMIZE=0" should not pass -O2.)
This was observed in the deb_debian7x86_64 build:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/29973215
Calling c_str() on a temporary should be fine because the temporary
shouldn't be destroyed until after the execl() call, but who knows...
If repair found a corrupted/missing path that depended on a
multiple-output derivation, and some of the outputs of the latter were
not present, it failed with a message like
error: path ‘/nix/store/cnfn9d5fjys1y93cz9shld2xwaibd7nn-bash-4.3-p42-doc’ is not valid
The --insecure flag to curl tells curl not to bother checking if the TLS
certificate presented by the server actually matches the hostname
requested, and actually is issued by a trusted CA chain. This almost
entirely negates any benefit from using TLS in the first place.
This removes the --insecure flag to ensure we actually have a secure
connection to the intended hostname before downloading binaries.
Manually tested locally within a dev-shell; was able to download
binaries from https://cache.nixos.org without issue.
[Note: --insecure was only used for fetching NARs, whose integrity is
verified by Nix anyway using the hash from the .narinfo. But if we can
fetch the .narinfo without --insecure, we can also fetch the .nar, so
there is not much point to using --insecure. --Eelco]
Also show types when nix cannot compare values of different types.
This is also more consistent since types are already shown when comparing values of the same not comparable type.
For example, "${{ foo = "bar"; __toString = x: x.foo; }}" evaluates
to "bar".
With this, we can delay calling functions like mkDerivation,
buildPythonPackage, etc. until we actually need a derivation, enabling
overrides and other modifications to happen by simple attribute set
update.
This makes Darwin consistent with Linux: Nix expressions can't break
out of the sandbox unless relaxed sandbox mode is enabled.
For the normal sandbox mode this will require fixing #759 however.
Otherwise, since the call to write a "d" character to the lock file
can fail with ENOSPC, we can get an unhandled exception resulting in a
call to terminate().
Caused by 8063fc497a. If tmpDir !=
tmpDirInSandbox (typically when there are multiple concurrent builds
with the same name), the *Path attribute would not point to an
existing file. This caused Nixpkgs' writeTextFile to write an empty
file. In particular this showed up as hanging VM builds (because it
would run an empty run-nixos-vm script and then wait for it to finish
booting).
This is arguably nitpicky, but I think this new formulation is even
clearer. My thinking is that it's easier to comprehend when the
calculated hash value is displayed close to the output path. (I think it
is somewhat similar to eliminating double negatives in logic
statements.)
The formulation is inspired / copied from the OpenEmbedded build tool,
bitbake.
Rather than using $<host-TMPDIR>/nix-build-<drvname>-<number>, the
temporary directory is now always /tmp/nix-build-<drvname>-0. This
improves bitwise-exact reproducibility for builds that store $TMPDIR
in their build output. (Of course, those should still be fixed...)
