Eelco Dolstra 1f735a3440 <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support xz-compressed NARs 2015-10-30 12:34:30 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra dae5dc7ade <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support downloading and unpacking NARs
This removes the need to have multiple downloads in the stdenv
bootstrap process (like a separate busybox binary for Linux, or
curl/mkdir/sh/bzip2 for Darwin). Now all those files can be combined
into a single NAR.

Eelco Dolstra 5db358d4d7 Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurl
This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work

Eelco Dolstra 357d31b339 Fix segfault in builtin fetchurl
The stack allocated for the builder was way too small (32 KB). This is
sufficient for normal derivations, because they just do some setup and
then exec() the actual builder. But for the fetchurl builtin
derivation it's not enough. Also, allocating the stack on the caller's
stack was fishy business.

Eelco Dolstra e4abf8610b nix-prefetch-url -A: Use "name" attribute from Nix expression
This is in particular useful for fetchFromGitHub et al., ensuring that

2015-10-07 14:47:39 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra b54f447df9 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballs
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and
its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example:

  $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz

or from a Nix expression:

  $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src

In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a
fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to
"recursive".

Manuel Jacob 7888b2ba15 Define SOL_LOCAL if not defined already (e.g. on FreeBSD).
Some evidence that defining it to be 0 is right:
* OS X headers define it to be 0.
* Other code uses 0 instead of SOL_LOCAL to check for peer credentials
  (e.g. FreeBSD's implementation of getpeereid).

Manuel Jacob cbc177ca01 Use pkg-config-provided LDFLAGS for libsqlite3 and libcurl.
Previously, pkg-config was already queried for libsqlite3's and
libcurl's link flags.  However they were not used, but hardcoded
instead.  This commit replaces the hardcoded LDFLAGS by the ones
provided by pkg-config in a similar pattern as already used for
libsodium.

Eelco Dolstra 1abda8e173 nix-store --serve: Implement log size limit 2015-10-06 17:33:30 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 06f29fafe8 nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expression
For example,

  $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src

will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute
‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This
differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the
hash.

You can also specify a path to the Nix expression:

  $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src

List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work:

  $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0

Vladimír Čunát 42808fa281 nix-env --upgrade: show "downgrading" when doing so
It was strange to show "upgrading" when the version was getting lower.
This is left on "upgrading" when the versions are the same,
as I can't see any better wording.
2015-09-17 12:09:54 +02:00
Vladimír Čunát 64f9b511be nix-env --upgrade: avoid unexpected downgrades
Until now, if one explicitly installed a low-priority version,
nix-env --upgrade would downgrade it by default and even with --leq.
Let's never accept an upgrade with version not matching the upgradeType.
Additionally, let's never decrease the priority of an installed package;
you can use --install to force that.

Also refactor to use variable bestVersion instead of bestName,
as only version was used from it.

Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9504.

we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.

Eelco Dolstra 6bd2c7bb38 OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for 2015-07-17 20:13:56 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 1511aa9f48 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).

So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.

Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).

Fixes #173.

Nicolas B. Pierron db21cfa688 Move attribute set data structures into their own header file.
This modification moves Attr and Bindings structures into their own header
file which is dedicated to the attribute set representation. The goal of to
isolate pieces of code which are related to the attribute set
representation. Thus future modifications of the attribute set
representation will only have to modify these files, and not every other
file across the evaluator.

The following patch is an attempt to address this bug (see

In practice, I would expect that supplementary groups would contain only
one or two groups: the build users group, and possibly the “kvm” group.

This relaxes restricted mode to allow access to anything in the

/nix/store/blabla in a Nix expression would still be
rejected). However, note that reading /nix/store itself is still
rejected, so you can't use this so get access to things you don't know
about.

Christian Theune 3d83188702 Enable lazy/sparse allocation of generation symlinks: avoid creating
new generations if a generation already exists.

Alternatively or additionally I propose a mode where only the *last* generation will be sparse.

Eelco Dolstra 6519f06f39 nix-env/nix-instantiate/nix-build: Support URIs
For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision
like this:

  $ nix-env -f 63def04891.tar.gz -iA firefox

Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel:

  $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello

William A. Kennington III 0705d04dfa nix-collect-garbage: Fix deleting old generations
The call to nix-env expects a string which represents how old the
derivations are or just "old" which means any generations other than
the current one in use. Currently nix-collect-garbage passes an empty
string to nix-env when using the -d option. This patch corrects the call
to nix-env such that it follows the old behavior.

Eelco Dolstra 9451ef3731 Allow URLs in the Nix search path
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

Or to install a specific version of NixOS:

  $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=63def04891.tar.gz

Shea Levy 4d652875bd Add the pre-build hook.
This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.

The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

This is because we don't want to do HTTP requests on every evaluation,

Eelco Dolstra afa433e58c Chroot builds: Provide world-readable /nix/store
This was causing NixOS VM tests to fail mysteriously since
5ce50cd99e. Nscd could (sometimes) no
longer read /etc/hosts:

open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Probably there was some wacky interaction between the guest kernel and
the 9pfs implementation in QEMU.

Eelco Dolstra 000b5a000f Add fetchTarball builtin
This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation
time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix
expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch
Nixpkgs 14.12:

  with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {};

Or to fetch a specific revision:

  with import (fetchTarball 2766a4b44e.tar.gz) {};

This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't
unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.

Eelco Dolstra fd89f97be9 Add the closure of store paths to the chroot
Thus, for example, to get /bin/sh in a chroot, you only need to
specify /bin/sh=${pkgs.bash}/bin/sh in build-chroot-dirs. The
dependencies of sh will be added automatically.

This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is
enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures
that its closure is present in the chroot.

Eelco Dolstra 75ede65e3d Don't use vfork() before clone()
I'm seeing hangs in Glibc's setxid_mark_thread() again. This is
probably because the use of an intermediate process to make clone()
safe from a multi-threaded program (see
524f89f139) is defeated by the use of
vfork(), since the intermediate process will have a copy of Glibc's
threading data structures due to the vfork(). So use a regular fork()
again.
