  client# error: size mismatch importing path ‘/nix/store/ywf5fihjlxwijm6ygh6s0a353b5yvq4d-libidn2-0.16’; expected 0, got 120264

This is mostly an artifact of the NixOS VM test environment, where the
Nix database doesn't contain hashes/sizes.

Eelco Dolstra 031d70e500
Support arbitrary store URIs in nix.machines
For backwards compatibility, if the URI is just a hostname, ssh://
(i.e. LegacySSHStore) is prepended automatically.

Also, all fields except the URI are now optional. For example, this is
a valid nix.machines file:

  local?root=/tmp/nix

This is useful for testing the remote build machinery since you don't
have to mess around with ssh.

Add a dummy Store::buildPaths() method
This default implementation of buildPaths() does nothing if all
requested paths are already valid, and throws an "unsupported

c30330df6f in binary cache and legacy
SSH stores.

Eelco Dolstra 2040240e23
Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

  class MyClass : private Config
  {
    Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
    }
  };

Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

nix-daemon: Disable path info cache
This is useless because the client also caches path info, and can
cause problems for long-running clients like hydra-queue-runner

Dan Peebles e7cb2847ab Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized ones
Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string
properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making
up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This
commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and
removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that.

Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we
now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing
subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full
set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line,
but I'm not doing that yet here.

exportReferencesGraph: Export more complete info in JSON format
This writes info about every path in the closure in the same format as
‘nix path-info --json’. Thus it also includes NAR hashes and sizes.

Eelco Dolstra 542ae5c8f8 BinaryCacheStore: Optionally write a NAR listing
The store parameter "write-nar-listing=1" will cause BinaryCacheStore
to write a file ‘<store-hash>.ls.xz’ for each ‘<store-hash>.narinfo’
added to the binary cache. This file contains an XZ-compressed JSON
file describing the contents of the NAR, excluding the contents of
regular files.

E.g.

  {
    "version": 1,
    "root": {
      "type": "directory",
      "entries": {
        "lib": {
          "type": "directory",
          "entries": {
            "Mcrt1.o": {
              "type": "regular",
              "size": 1288
            },
            "Scrt1.o": {
              "type": "regular",
              "size": 3920
            },
          }
        }
      }
      ...
    }
  }

(The actual file has no indentation.)

This is intended to speed up the NixOS channels programs index
generator [1], since fetching gazillions of large NARs from
cache.nixos.org is currently a bottleneck for updating the regular
(non-small) channel.

Eelco Dolstra 75989bdca7 Make computeFSClosure() single-threaded again
The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a
thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end
up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of
threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of
queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the
result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than
returning a future.

Thus, a command like

  nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5

that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main
thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed
CloudFront.)

Eelco Dolstra 7d14f5c331 Implement S3BinaryCacheStore::queryAllValidPaths()
This allows commands like "nix verify --all" or "nix path-info --all"
to work on S3 caches.

Unfortunately, this requires some ugly hackery: when querying the
contents of the bucket, we don't want to have to read every .narinfo
file. But the S3 bucket keys only include the hash part of each store
path, not the name part. So as a special exception
queryAllValidPaths() can now return store paths *without* the name
part, and queryPathInfo() accepts such store paths (returning a
ValidPathInfo object containing the full name).

Eelco Dolstra e0204f8d46 Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix

all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.

This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a

null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

Eelco Dolstra 5bbd693cae * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
  ‘nix-copy-closure --to’.  This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)

Eelco Dolstra b2027f70d9 * Fix a huuuuge security hole in the Nix daemon. It didn't check that
derivations added to the store by clients have "correct" output
  paths (meaning that the output paths are computed by hashing the
  derivation according to a certain algorithm).  This means that a
  malicious user could craft a special .drv file to build *any*
  desired path in the store with any desired contents (so long as the
  path doesn't already exist).  Then the attacker just needs to wait
  for a victim to come along and install the compromised path.

  For instance, if Alice (the attacker) knows that the latest Firefox
  derivation in Nixpkgs produces the path

    /nix/store/1a5nyfd4ajxbyy97r1fslhgrv70gj8a7-firefox-5.0.1

  then (provided this path doesn't already exist) she can craft a .drv
  file that creates that path (i.e., has it as one of its outputs),
  add it to the store using "nix-store --add", and build it with
  "nix-store -r".  So the fake .drv could write a Trojan to the
  Firefox path.  Then, if user Bob (the victim) comes along and does

    $ nix-env -i firefox
    $ firefox

  he executes the Trojan injected by Alice.

  The fix is to have the Nix daemon verify that derivation outputs are
  correct (in addValidPath()).  This required some refactoring to move
  the hash computation code to libstore.

Eelco Dolstra a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.
2010-11-16 17:11:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 103cfee056 * Revert r19650 (implement gc-keep-outputs by looking for derivations
with the same name as the output) and instead use the
  DerivationOutputs table in the database, which is the correct way to
  to do things.
2010-02-22 11:44:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5388944e8d * Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-25 16:04:32 +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.

Eelco Dolstra d5eab2fc82 * Use foreach in a lot of places. 2009-04-21 11:52:16 +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').

Eelco Dolstra a0766eca27 * Build on Debian 4.0 (GCC 4.1.1). 2008-12-04 21:07:29 +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).
