Eelco Dolstra 5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.

Shea Levy b1112bbef1 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation attrset.
The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with
the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output.

I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more):

* Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix)

* Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver
  for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed
  in environment.systemPackages, for example.

* Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an
  input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH
  (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build
  being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this
  feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

Eelco Dolstra 6b1e671ac6 Fix xz compression 2012-07-01 21:57:25 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra f4190c38ba Allow both bzip2 and xz compression 2012-07-01 18:46:38 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4911a10a4e Use XZ compression in binary caches
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2.  Here are the
compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on
my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB):

  bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08]
  xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53]
  xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19]
  xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18]
  xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40]

Note that compression takes much longer.  More importantly, however,
decompression is much faster:

  bzip2: 1m47.274s
  xz -6: 0m55.446s
  xz -7: 0m54.119s
  xz -8: 0m52.388s
  xz -9: 0m51.842s

The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair
amount (~65 MB) of memory.

Eelco Dolstra 663c06e8cd Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs

Eelco Dolstra e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).

Eelco Dolstra a0477a458f * currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporal
aspect.
2012-01-04 12:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b79b85ad76 * Export the original input attributes of the derivation in
‘drvAttrs’.  This will simplify the implementation of functions such
  as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any
  added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04 11:56:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83647f4ef1 * Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out the
common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc.  Note
  that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs"
  attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of
  outputs.  This seems more user-friendly.

Eelco Dolstra 48cea0d01e * Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some
other simplifications.
* Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs.  This allows them to be
  overriden through $NIX_PATH.
* Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need
  to create a temporary file.

Eelco Dolstra 5693b8a7e2 * nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix database
already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').
2010-11-17 12:51:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
  "preferLocalBuild" to true.  This has a few use cases:

  - The user environment builder.  Since it just creates a bunch of
    symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
    remotely.  In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
    of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
    is extremely wasteful.

  - `fetchurl'.  Performing the download on a remote machine and then
    copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
    traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
    CPU cycles on the local machine.

Eelco Dolstra fe2d869e04 * Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in

2010-04-21 15:08:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3ce5f07793 * Ugly hack to make `nix-channel' work on Cygwin. 2010-02-02 17:01:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f254706b0 * Allow the channel to declare a name for itself. 2009-03-03 14:47:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 055608227f * nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the
Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set
  {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix
  expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute
  name.  Also recurses into directories.

* nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the
  ~/.nix-defexpr symlink.

* nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink
  ~/.nix-defexpr/channels.  So finally nix-channel --update doesn't
  override any default Nix expressions but combines with them.

  This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use
  it as a default for nix-env:

  $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn

  and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time.
  (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to
  disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)
2007-09-17 16:08:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bddc83a148 * New builtin function "isFunction". You're not supposed to use it
;-)
* Channels: fix channels that are plain lists of derivations (like
  strategoxt-unstable) instead  of functions (like nixpkgs-unstable).
  This fixes the error message "error: the left-hand side of the
  function call is neither a function nor a primop (built-in
  operation) but a list".
2007-05-16 16:17:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 30beeb27a9 * Set the right priorities when recovering from a directory
collision.
2007-05-02 19:38:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93aefd9fc0 * Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable).  The
  top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
  attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
  {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}).  This makes
  attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
  e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-05-01 23:16:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a46db5d013 * Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a
user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping
  file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the
  symlinks of a package with a lower priority.  E.g.,

    $ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc
    $ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils

  gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower
  priority).
2007-04-27 23:28:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d05166086 * Allow conflicting packages to be kept in a user environment, and
allow switching between them (NIX-80).

  Example: two versions of Pan:

    $ nix-env -q pan
    pan-0.128
    pan-0.14.2.91

    $ readlink $(which pan)
    /nix/store/l38jrbilw269drpjkx7kinhrxj6fjh59-pan-0.14.2.91/bin/pan

  At most one of them can be active any given time.  Assuming than
  0.14.2.91 is active, you can active 0.128 as follows:

    $ nix-env --set-flag active false pan-0.14.2.91
    $ nix-env --set-flag active true pan-0.128

    $ readlink $(which pan)
    /nix/store/nziqwnlzy7xl385kglxhg75pfl5i936n-pan-0.128/bin/pan

  More flags to follow.
2007-04-27 22:40:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5ca45d085e * Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs"
for packages that should be propagated to the user environment.
2006-09-25 15:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 02f2335712 * Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinked
*after* the packages that have been explicitly installed, and
  collisions are ignored.
2006-09-25 15:07:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 561a07f51d * Revert unintentional commit. 2006-08-22 13:18:51 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 7d876f8fa7 * Get rid of fetchurl, we don't need it anymore. 2005-04-07 14:35:44 +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'.

2005-03-14 15:09:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 543d7a41dc * Automatically add propagated build inputs to user environments.
Maybe this is a bad idea.
2005-03-07 13:27:56 +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 3d1b2101cc * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
* Use the new patch downloader.
2004-12-20 16:38:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3b051aeeb * Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing the
cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the
  path (necessary for checking patch applicability).
2004-12-13 16:56:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 862f4c154e * Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR
  archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests.

  Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be
  used to construct the target path.  In particular, patches can be
  chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be
  omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible).  A shortest path
  algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded
  (the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine
  taking the network speed to the various source into account).

  Patches are binary deltas between two store paths.  To be precise,
  they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR
  archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store
  paths.  The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing
  file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled
  automatically.  The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation
  of unchanged files (by hard-linking).
2004-12-13 13:47:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6db574ec1 * Check exit status of pipe elements. 2004-11-08 11:32:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d7abd694 * New language feature: with expressions.
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
  the attribute set E1 substituted.  E.g.,

    with {x = 123;}; x

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

    with import ./foo.nix;

    ... a ... f ...

  I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.

Eelco Dolstra b6df68c942 * Dist error. 2004-04-21 14:57:46 +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 0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).

2003-08-28 10:10:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e374dbf89b * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix
store, and print its hash.
2003-08-15 10:13:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ad39df282 * `==' is not a valid operator. 2003-08-06 10:00:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d551062ec4 * Scan for wget and use the full path in fetchurl.sh.
* Use nix-hash (not md5sum) in fetchurl.sh.
2003-08-06 09:35:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aaee69cfde * INSTALL_DATA -> INSTALL_PROGRAM to ensure that the execute bit
remains set.
2003-07-30 10:14:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39ce70025b * Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.
* `make dist'.
2003-07-23 15:53:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e877c69d78 * Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are
substituting for (obvious, really).

* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
  path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
  preventing a path copy.

* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
  that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id.  This
  is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
  build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
  divergence.  It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
  that such expressions are not used interchangeably.
2003-07-22 15:15:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c7bdb76fe4 * Syntax fixes.
* When pushing, put the hash in the file name so that the 
  client can verify (proof-carrying file names?).
