Eelco Dolstra 86408b3f47 * build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than
giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then
  the second machine and so on.  This should improve utilisation of
  the Hydra build farm a lot.  Also take an optional speed factor
  into account to cause fast machines to be preferred over slower
  machines with a similar load.
2009-09-17 15:48:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 57e0d73c77 * build-remote.pl: allow the system type to be a comma-separated list
of system types.  Don't treat the x86_64-linux system type
  specially.
2009-09-17 13:51:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 20b6f94b65 * nix-build: pass the --show-trace flag. 2009-07-15 09:10:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f24cf5d303 * nix-build: if nix-instantiate or nix-store fails due to a signal
(e.g. out of memory or a segfault), print an error message.
  Otherwise the user doesn't see anything.
2009-06-10 11:30:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c710fe540e * Machines of type x86_64-linux can do i686-linux builds. 2009-04-21 12:42:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0460ea4c39 * Cleanup. 2009-04-16 09:27:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096affb55b * Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slot
was last used.
2009-03-29 18:40:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 737423a89c * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it
  accepts the build).
* build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than
  the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first*
  machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-29 18:00:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 47706e3924 * nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,
which is much faster.
2009-03-28 21:10:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a2bbe7f8a * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28 19:29:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7fb548aa26 * Clean up the output a bit. 2009-03-28 16:12:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7e05b8b75e * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19 10:02:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b88460bcbc * Disregard the Hash field in manifests. 2009-03-19 09:47:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2897286487 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation.  That
  is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
  and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
  might fail, for example).  This is ensured at instantiation time by
  adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18 17:36:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1dcf208f56 * Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate). 2009-03-18 13:15:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1273d355ac * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests. 2009-02-27 14:06:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4ca5c3952 * Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful when
the size of the download isn't known in advance.
2009-02-27 13:55:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd2e14b3c8 * nix-build: support --option. 2009-02-27 12:09:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ab6bc5a49 * nix-channel: use nix-build. 2009-02-27 11:01:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f052c10eed * Check the manifest version. 2009-02-27 09:53:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a7cee528c5 * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests. 2009-02-26 21:12:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 041717eda3 * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
  path.

  When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
  does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
  from the server.  Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
  bzipped NAR archive.  However, the server does know the hash of the
  *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
  in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla).  So we use
  that instead for checking the integrity of the download.

Michael Raskin 621093cb1c Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution 2009-02-19 20:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1bb0f1e84b * Build hook: compress the transferred data. 2009-02-03 10:34:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-02-02 17:24:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 019176137f * When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the
  builder failed).  This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it
  makes sense to retry a build).

Eelco Dolstra d91dc086bb 2008-12-04 16:51:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ac3f5df9c * Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines. 2008-12-04 16:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bcfe98acff * Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This
makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store
  invocation will lead to at least one local build.  Will come up with
  a better solution later...
2008-12-04 16:35:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 909fbb9de1 * When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
  otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
  are no running children").  So inform the build hook when this is
  the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
  the maximum load on a machine.
2008-12-04 14:29:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5dfba0b4db * Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remote
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04 13:36:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fd9c4c635 * Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machine
list like

    root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
    root@example.org i686-darwin  /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1

  This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has
  remote builds enabled.
2008-12-04 12:20:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8713e1287 * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of
  the call to the NAR derivation.  Otherwise the derivation (and all
  its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even
  succeed.
2008-12-04 10:40:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6bbff48079 2008-11-20 17:22:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4213b8d8ec * Urgh. 2008-11-20 15:44:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aab530e971 * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a
dependency.  `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same
  result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes
  /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string.

  Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now
  finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds.  (Previously
  the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't
  be copied to the remote machine.)
2008-11-19 23:26:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa791116a3 * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant. 2008-11-18 14:43:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b2aa8a820 * Doh. 2008-09-08 11:02:15 +00:00
Michael Raskin 2a01d06da6 Added nix-http-export.cgi to extra distributed scripts; so it can be installed from releases, not only from SVN. 2008-08-29 08:34:38 +00:00
Michael Raskin b455c4c45c Updates to nix-reduce-build
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies).

Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters. 

Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.
2008-08-06 19:43:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7592f48c83 * nix-build: `--dry-run' flag. 2008-08-04 13:46:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 42043953c3 * Doh. 2008-08-04 13:15:47 +00:00
Michael Raskin b3c26180e3 Updates to nix-reduce-build: only realize fixed derivations if user asks so, or only use substituters. Oh, and add possibility to use : for things like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs:-A:gnused 2008-08-02 16:43:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3c92ea399d * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again.  (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
  didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
  paths.)  This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
  are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
  stdin/stdout.
2008-08-02 12:54:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096198d11f * A quick hack to make nix-prefetch-url support mirror:// URLs. It
requires that $NIXPKGS_ALL points at a Nixpkgs tree.
2008-07-23 16:02:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 660244f65f * Make sure that copy-from-other-stores.pl is built. 2008-07-23 09:38:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 989176c56e * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix
  daemon).
2008-07-18 15:34:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8bc591a6f0 * Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good
  name...) is set.
* Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES.  E.g. you could
  set it to /mnts/*/nix or something.
* Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
