Eelco Dolstra d7a92ed4a9 nix-store --serve: Only monitor stdin during builds
Other operations cannot hang indefinitely (except when we're reading
from stdin, in which case we'll notice a client disconnect). But
monitoring works badly during compressed imports, since there the
client can close the connection before we've sent an ack.

Eelco Dolstra 78224cd871 nix-store --serve: Monitor for client disconnects
This is necessary because build-remote.pl now builds via ‘nix-store
--serve’. So if a build hangs without writing to stdout/stderr, and
the client disconnects, then we need to detect that.

Eelco Dolstra fa13d3f4f3 build-remote.pl: Fix building multiple output derivations
We were importing paths without sorting them topologically, leading to
"path is not valid" errors.

Eelco Dolstra a5c6347ff0 build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).

It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.

Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

Eelco Dolstra 04170d06bf nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition
There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a
remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client
first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies
over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the
remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present
paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted
paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both
steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’),
locking all paths in the closure while querying.

I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so
this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked
experimental anyway.

Fixes #141.

Eelco Dolstra 9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Eelco Dolstra 1aa19b24b2 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed.  This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)

For example:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
  ...
  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
  error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'

The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid.  Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.

The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

This is essentially the substituter API operating on the local store,
which will be used by the ssh substituter. It runs in a loop rather than
just taking one command so that in the future nix will be able to keep
one connection open for multiple instances of the substituter.

Eelco Dolstra 5526a282b5 Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do

  ln /etc/shadow $out/foo

Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo,
causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but
writable by nobody).  That's obviously Very Bad.

Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because
/nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid
cross-device link".  It also fails if hard-link restrictions are
enabled, so a workaround is:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build
user.  This means that innocuous operations like "ln
${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed
in chroot builds anyway.

Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into
all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences.  For instance,
ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551:
Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2

produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

Eelco Dolstra 9de6bc5d05 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored.  This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them.  The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

rebuilding the derivation.  The latter may use hash rewriting if

Eelco Dolstra 9958bd6992 Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

Eelco Dolstra 564fb7d9fa optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links.  For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link

  P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>

to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'.  This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered.  It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

days.

* In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm.
* Some more header file hygiene.
2010-03-02 15:58:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fefd467539 * `helpText' is now zero-terminated. 2010-02-24 13:24:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fae0427324 * ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS. 2010-02-24 12:25:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa6a4fcb11 * Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn't
work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2010-02-24 12:18:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fdcaf37361 * Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n +
  m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the
  closure).
2010-01-25 17:18:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9b8fda796b * Templatise getIntArg / string2Int. 2009-11-24 12:26:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d55f1eb57 * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
  paths.
2009-11-23 18:16:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6bf87273 * `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
root symlink, not just its target.  E.g.:

  /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 17:23:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8824d60fe5 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
  expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
  buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
  much time to make it practical.
2009-11-20 17:12:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 53a4981fa2 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package manager work on OpenSolaris 2009-10-08 14:50:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5dd8fb2069 * Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is
  too large for "long" type').
2009-03-26 11:02:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a57b2920b * Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbage
(previously it would likely say "implementation cannot deal with >
  32-bit integers").
2009-03-22 17:51:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0008b0006d * Simplify deleting .lock files in /nix/store: just don't delete them
if they belong a path that's currently being built.  This gets rid
  of some Cygwin-specific code.
2008-12-12 17:03:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ff762fb499 * Pass HashType values instead of strings. 2008-12-03 16:10:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64519cfd65 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
  
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).
2008-12-03 15:06:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d250ad1ea * nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy. 2008-11-19 16:26:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b7c839b4e * Typo. 2008-11-11 14:58:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f32fef1b07 * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last
accessed time of paths that may be deleted.  Anything more recently
  used won't be deleted.  The time is specified in time_t,
  e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to
  convert to time_t from the command line. 

  Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two
  months:

  $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
2008-09-17 14:52:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77afd97a99 * nix-store --gc / --delete: show how many store paths were deleted. 2008-09-17 12:53:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7ab68961e4 * Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time.  This is useful in conjunction
  with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
  garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
  may become live again.

  The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
  ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
  priority queue in collectGarbage().
2008-09-17 10:02:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a1d310b6b5 * `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,
just like nix-env.
* `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-08-04 13:44:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3aa183beb * Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least N
bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store
  directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important
  for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories
  limit).
2008-06-18 14:20:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a72709afd8 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-18 09:34:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 66c51dc215 * nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.
* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of
  each path.
* Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2008-01-29 18:17:36 +00:00
Michael Raskin 3a2833daff corrected --help message for nix-store a bit 2007-12-10 22:16:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 633518628f * nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)

  or

    $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132

* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
  path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store.  This allows
  things like

    $ nix-build -A firefox
    $ nix-env -i ./result

* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
  anything.  In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
  empty profile.
2007-11-29 16:18:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c05783ad67 * nix-store --import: add a flag --require-signature. 2007-11-16 16:10:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 14e47e9c2c * Doh. 2007-10-10 14:58:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 315183f194 * nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk
savings would be.
2007-10-10 13:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a8629de827 * New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
  to each other.  It typically reduces the size of the store by
  something like 25-35%.  This is what the optimise-store.pl script
  did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
  garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-10-09 22:14:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
2007-08-12 00:29:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6d1a1191b0 * Support queryDeriver() in multi-user installations. 2007-06-12 16:53:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f6161ab3a * Flush cout to show progress. 2007-02-21 23:08:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0db450024d * Export/import many paths in one go. 2007-02-21 23:00:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9da367b7d5 * `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically
under the references relation.  This is useful for commands that
  want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21 22:45:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 881feb9698 * Flag --print-invalid' in nix-store --check-validity' to print out
which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't
  barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it).  This is
  useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be
  copied to a remote machine.  (Currently we use rsync, but that's
  rather inefficient.)
2007-02-21 17:57:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43c4d18c6a * nix-store --import': import an archive created by nix-store
--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic
  signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub.  (TODO: verify
  against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21 15:45:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46e0919ced * `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key
in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b824a1daee * Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store
path.  This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the
  meta-information of the store path (references, deriver).  Will add
  a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we
  will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a
  secure manner.
2007-02-20 23:17:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra afe23b5f38 * nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.
* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and
  print them on stdout.  This allows them to be installed, e.g.,
  "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)".  (NIX-64)
2007-01-13 19:50:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e24d0201c2 * Doh! 2006-12-07 22:07:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ca01065c3 * Rename all those main.cc files. 2006-12-07 20:47:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.
2006-12-05 02:18:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).
2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.
2006-11-30 17:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0541ddc7e3 * Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard
  input/output.  (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to
  call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).)  For instance, `nix-store
  --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a
  certain input.  Another victory for Valgrind.
2006-11-18 18:56:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e40d4a5604 * Option --reregister' in nix-store --register-validity'. We need
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the
  cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual
  contents.
2006-11-13 16:48:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6fb27f18 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if
available.  For instance,

    $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less

  lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your
  profile.

* `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-28 16:33:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e08f5efe1 * Documented nix-store --dump / --restore. 2006-10-05 22:57:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 25df501704 * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15). 2006-09-21 19:06:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fc195519b5 * Sone missing #includes. 2006-09-05 08:54:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4250b641d8 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store
objects that would be freed.
2006-08-11 20:26:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +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 7ba1fd2029 * Regularise help text a bit. 2006-03-06 11:04:39 +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 b6780b9e10 * Uninitialised variable. Fixes the --delete test. 2006-03-01 14:39:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 651ab439cf * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when
the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we
  need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space).  Under
  normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file
  /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB.  When running the garbage
  collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB
  environment.
2006-02-16 13:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1029716a8a * Don't show cycles, they're not very useful. 2006-01-19 15:35:34 +00:00
