Eelco Dolstra c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-20 12:17:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cc51f9c539 * Oops. 2006-06-19 16:35:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bb3444032 * _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin. 2006-06-19 16:24:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c937b73622 * Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock. 2006-06-16 10:13:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 50fe85f016 * For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listed
in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the
  builder.
2006-05-31 09:51:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1390ce4142 * Not all platforms have sys/select.h. 2006-05-30 11:37:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d764409d97 * Some Cygwin fixes. 2006-05-24 13:23:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c8bfb11b34 * `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths
will be built or substituted.
2006-03-06 11:21:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 74166f2f44 * db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers. 2006-03-01 17:44:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 81de538e46 * Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only
creates a new process group but also a new session.  New sessions
  have no controlling tty, so child processes like ssh cannot open
  /dev/tty (which is bad).
2006-02-03 14:20:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b90daaaf6c * When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as
intended).  This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote
  machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote
  machine also exits.  Without this, the remote Nix process will
  continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it
  locks up.  (Partially fixes NIX-35.)
2006-02-02 16:27:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b7f008fc35 * Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now
much faster.
2005-11-16 08:27:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92d599c6a7 * Prevent uids from being used for more than one build
simultaneously.  We do this using exclusive locks on uid files in
  /nix/var/nix/userpool, e.g., /nix/var/nix/userpool/123 for uid 123.
2005-10-20 16:58:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e932c40f8e * Oops. Fixed-output derivations were broken. 2005-10-19 14:27:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 13b089c890 * Also kill all processes of the build user after the build. This is
critical to prevent certain kinds of 0wnage.
2005-10-17 17:43:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f1b3a418fa * Before starting a build under some uid, kill all current processes
running under that uid.
2005-10-17 17:35:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 439823ae80 * Check that the build result is owned by the build user, and that
nobody else has write permission to the build result.  This catches
  most hack attempts.
2005-10-17 16:59:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7ef574e5d0 * Don't use FIFOs to make Nix create the output path on behalf of the
builder.  Instead, require that the Nix store has sticky permission
  (S_ISVTX); everyone can created files in the Nix store, but they
  cannot delete, rename or modify files created by others.
2005-10-17 16:52:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 32282abcea * Beginning of secure multi-user Nix stores. If Nix is started as
root (or setuid root), then builds will be performed under one of
  the users listed in the `build-users' configuration variables.  This
  is to make it impossible to influence build results externally,
  allowing locally built derivations to be shared safely between
  users (see ASE-2005 paper).

  To do: only one builder should be active per build user.
2005-10-17 15:33:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef9e2c8e73 * Typo. 2005-09-20 16:14:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 456f3251d2 * Typo. 2005-05-10 14:21:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f913283570 * Remove redundant message. 2005-04-13 09:20:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cab7816b56 * Slightly nicer message. 2005-04-11 08:07:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c6178f0b03 * Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reported
by Rob).
2005-03-24 17:46:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0df9f08078 * Export the references graph to the build hook. 2005-03-23 13:16:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bfaf83a0fd * When multiple derivations are specified in `nix-store -r', don't
continue building when one fails unless `--keep-going' is
  specified.
* When `--keep-going' is specified, print out the set of failing
  derivations at the end (otherwise it can be hard to find out which
  failed).
2005-02-23 11:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a2c3f0cf2 * Support for fixed-output hashes over directory trees (i.e., over the
NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-22 21:14:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra eda2c3c253 * Compatibility hack so that Nixpkgs can continue to do hash checking
in `fetchurl' in Nix <= 0.7, but doesn't in Nix 0.8.
2005-02-22 15:23:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3c1630131e * Subtle bug in the builder: if a subgoal that is instantiated
multiple times is also a top-level goal, then the second and later
  instantiations would never be created because there would be a
  stable pointer to the first one that would keep it alive in the
  WeakGoalMap.
* Some tracing code for debugging this kind of problem.
2005-02-18 09:50:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 88273f9574 * Put build logs in $prefix/var/nix/log/drvs/. 2005-02-17 13:54:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80870d9291 * Input sources should be in the set of all referenceable paths too. 2005-02-11 16:03:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 98df735b51 * Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism.
* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push.
* Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path).
* Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.
2005-02-09 12:57:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d74274b37 * Updated `nix-store --verify' to the new schema. 2005-02-08 13:23:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 450c358e20 * Maintain a database table (`derivers') that maps output paths to the
derivation that produced them.
* `nix-store -qd PATH' prints out the derivation that produced a path.
2005-02-07 13:40:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06b4424286 * Add missing files to dist.
* Fix GC and substitute bugs related to self-references.  Add a
  regression test.
2005-02-01 09:23:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1328aa3307 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
  while holding a write lock on that file.  The garbage collector
  acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
  progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
  roots.
2005-01-31 10:27:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c505702265 * Fix and simplify the garbage collector (it's still not concurrent,
though).  In particular it's now much easier to register a GC root.
  Just place a symlink to whatever store path it is that you want to
  keep in /nix/var/nix/gcroots.
2005-01-27 15:21:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a24b78e9f1 * Maintain the references/referers relation also for derivations.
This simplifies garbage collection and `nix-store --query
  --requisites' since we no longer need to treat derivations
  specially.

* Better maintaining of the invariants, e.g., setReferences() can only
  be called on a valid/substitutable path.
2005-01-25 21:28:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2a2756b856 * Simplification: registerSubstitutes -> registerSubstitute. We no
longer need the former since there we no longer have the
  substitutes-rev table (which triggered a O(n^2) cost in updating
  them).
2005-01-25 20:27:40 +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 c6290e42bc * Fix the `--fallback' switch.
* Fix the substitutes tests.
2005-01-25 13:00:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 581fc47783 * Fix the build hook mechanism; pass the pointer graph to the hook. 2005-01-25 11:55:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80faa2f98a * In nix-store: change --build' back to --realise'. Also brought
back the query flag `--force-realise'.
* Fixed some of the tests.
2005-01-25 10:55:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a0a2d5593 * Terminology fixes. 2005-01-20 16:01:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 05f0430de1 * Another change to low-level derivations. The last one this year, I
promise :-) This allows derivations to specify on *what* output
  paths of input derivations they are dependent.  This helps to
  prevent unnecessary downloads.  For instance, a build might be
  dependent on the `devel' and `lib' outputs of some library
  component, but not the `docs' output.
2005-01-20 14:10:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96de272b48 * Renamed normalise.cc' -> build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
  they have been built/added.  This is so that we can check whether
  the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
  holds.
