Add feature to disable URL literals
E.g.

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello --experimental-features no-url-literals
  error: URL literals are disabled, at /nix/store/vsjamkzh15r3c779q2711az826hqgvzr-nixpkgs-20.03pre194957.bef773ed53f/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:1236:11

Helps with implementing https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/45.

Add experimental-features setting
Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one
experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more
quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely.

Typical usage:

$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello

(cherry picked from commit 8e478c2341,
without the "flakes" feature)

Add a test for auto-GC
This currently fails because we're using POSIX file locks. So when the
garbage collector opens and closes its own temproots file, it causes
the lock to be released and then deleted by another GC instance.

Add a post-build-hook
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:

    DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
    OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev

This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).

This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:

    [nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
    these derivations will be built:
      /nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv
    building '/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv'...

Matthew Bauer 11d8534629 Use sandbox fallback when cloning fails in builder
When sandbox-fallback = true (the default), the Nix builder will fall
back to disabled sandbox mode when the kernel doesn’t allow users to
set it up. This prevents hard errors from occuring in tricky places,
especially the initial installer. To restore the previous behavior,
users can set:

  sandbox-fallback = false

in their /etc/nix/nix.conf configuration.

Add '--no-net' convenience flag
This flag

* Disables substituters.

* Sets the tarball-ttl to infinity (ensuring e.g. that the flake
  registry and any downloaded flakes are considered current).

* Disables retrying downloads and sets the connection timeout to the
  minimum. (So it doesn't completely disable downloads at the moment.)

Modularize config settings
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.

Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.

2018-03-16 22:50:27 +00:00
Linus Heckemann eb03a296c1 Add build-extra-platforms setting
This allows specifying additional systems that a machine is able to
build for. This may apply on some armv7-capable aarch64 processors, or
on systems using qemu-user with binfmt-misc to support transparent
execution of foreign-arch programs.

This removes the previous hard-coded assumptions about which systems are
ABI-compatible with which other systems, and instead relies on the user
to specify any additional platforms that they have ensured compatibility
for and wish to build for locally.

NixOS should probably add i686-linux on x86_64-linux systems for this
setting by default.

Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.

Matthew Bauer 8f186722a9 Set backup MANPATH in case man path isn’t set correctly.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:

nix-env --help

The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".

To test this, I’m using the following:

$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help

Add pure evaluation mode
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:

* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
  error.

* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.

* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.

* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.

* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
  fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
  not allowed.

Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    let
      nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
      nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
    in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
  )'

The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
  ')

where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Add allow-new-privileges option
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously
possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by
default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally,
any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder
itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this
ability for certain tests.

Example:

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines:
    cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set
    : Operation not permitted

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines:
    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

Eelco Dolstra 1a68710d4d
Add an option for specifying remote builders
This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a
builder on the command line instead of having to mess with
nix.machines. E.g.

  $ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \
    --option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin'

will perform the specified build on "macstadium1".

It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you
can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is
yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration
file, IIRC.)

Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The
fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to
which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...
