Peter Simons 37164ae389 docker: ensure that the installation works for users other than 'root', too
The path /root/.nix-profile is a sym-link to /nix/var/nix/profiles/default. The
latter path, however, works for everyone while the former path works only for
root, so we prefer the public path whenever possible.

Dan Peebles 60ecbd7934 More elegant test output
I got sick of trying to find the failures in the sea of debug output, so
we now:
- Hide test output unless it fails
- Sprinkle in some simple color
- Pad results for a more tabular look

If Nix is getting a more friendly user interface, we might as well get
a friendlier developer interface, right? :)

Dan Peebles 476493dbf5 Reverse retry logic to retry in all but a few cases
It was getting too much like whac-a-mole listing all the retriable error
conditions, so we now retry by default and list the cases where retrying
is almost certainly hopeless.

Anthony Cowley 92f9d18aa0 install-darwin-multi-user: relax assumption check
The installer will error out if a user's shell configuration includes any mention of ~nix-profile~, even if this is in a comment. This change is designed to do the bare minimum to ignore lines beginning with a `#`.

example:

  }

This removes the need for pp-aterm.

Matthieu Coudron 6920c23701 Improve error message for conflicting priorities
I find the error message 'nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER PKGNAME'
not as helpful as it could be :
- doesn't share the current priorities
- doesn't say that the command must be run on the already installed
PKGNAME (which is confusing the first time)
- the doc needs careful reading:
"If there are multiple derivations matching a name in args that have the same name (e.g., gcc-3.3.6 and gcc-4.1.1), then the derivation with the highest priority is used."
if one stops reading there, he is screwed. Salvation comes with reading "A derivation can define a priority by declaring the meta.priority attribute. This attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower priority. The default priority is 0."
To sum it up, lower number wins. I tried to convey this idea in the
message too.

RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the pool
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots
periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the
corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is
restarted.

It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at
process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions
like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a
pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.

Show the pid of temporary roots 2017-09-14 15:02:52 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra da1e4fdfb5
nix-store -q --roots / --gc --print-roots: Print temporary / in-memory roots
For example,

  $ nix-store -q --roots /nix/store/7phd2sav7068nivgvmj2vpm3v47fd27l-patchelf-0.8pre845_0315148
  {temp:1}

denotes that the path is only being kept alive by a temporary root
(i.e. /nix/var/nix/temproots/). Similarly,

  $ nix-store --gc --print-roots
  ...
  {memory:9} -> /nix/store/094gpjn9f15ip17wzxhma4r51nvsj17p-curl-7.53.1

shows that curl is being used by some process.

Peter Simons 1511f01351 docker: update to Nix 1.11.14
- Use the latest Nix version 1.11.14.

- Attempts to download the Nix installation tarball from http://nixos.org
  redirect to https these days, which wget doesn't support unless OpenSSL is
  available.

- Use addgroup and adduser commands to create the Nix build users.

- Link the Nix profile script into /etc/profile.d, where it's run
  automatically.

- Dropped installation of bash and tar. Neither tool is essential for running
  Nix.

Use the command "docker build -t nix . && docker run -it --rm nix sh -"
to build and run the Nix docker container.

Eelco Dolstra d41c5eb13f Add command "nix why-depends"
This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime
closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure:

  $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
  /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1:
    lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

  /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev:
    nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's
nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.
