Eelco Dolstra 096194ab29 * Remove ancient terminology. 2006-12-07 23:58:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6833e8bbe8 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner 
back to the Nix account.
 2006-12-07 23:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e24d0201c2 * Doh! 2006-12-07 22:07:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2819eb36a4 * Be less verbose. 2006-12-07 21:43:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ca01065c3 * Rename all those main.cc files. 2006-12-07 20:47:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d03f0d4117 * Check for lchown. 2006-12-07 18:51:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process, 
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.
 2006-12-07 17:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a82d80ddeb * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil. 2006-12-07 16:40:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's 
processes before and after the build.
 2006-12-07 16:33:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its 
ownership, then try again.
 2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the 
ownership of the build result after the build.
 2006-12-07 15:18:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before 
deleting them using the setuid helper.
 2006-12-07 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the 
builder under the desired build user.
 2006-12-07 00:42:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 79875c5e42 * Change the ownership of the current directory to the build user. 2006-12-06 23:52:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62ab131412 * Verify that the desired target user is in the build users group (as 
specified in the setuid config file).
 2006-12-06 23:15:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f07ac41656 * Check that the caller is allowed to call the setuid helper. The 
allowed uid is specified in a configuration file in
  /etc/nix-setuid.conf.
 2006-12-06 22:45:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef281b93c2 * Fix the safety check. 2006-12-06 20:18:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of 
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.
 2006-12-06 20:00:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 751f6d2157 * nix-setuid-helper: allow running programs under a different uid. 2006-12-06 17:29:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations 
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
 2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid() 
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
 2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f0d050324 * Tricky: child processes should not send data to the client since 
that might mess up the protocol.  And besides, the socket file
  descriptor is probably closed.
 2006-12-05 18:21:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d1854c3f1 * Oops! In daemon mode, we can't run as root either if build-users is empty. 2006-12-05 17:44:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 99655245ae * Use an explicit handler for SIGCHLD, since SIG_IGN doesn't do the 
right thing on FreeBSD 4 (it leaves zombies).
 2006-12-05 17:21:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62b0497c0f * Better message. 2006-12-05 16:17:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c808e6252f * Ugly hack to handle spurious SIGPOLLs. 2006-12-05 15:36:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd4a9db91f * Some renaming. 2006-12-05 14:15:51 +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 29cf434a35 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged 
process, so forward the operation.
* Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71).
* findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with
  which we spam the user should be enough.
 2006-12-05 01:31:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8623256f48 * findRoots: return a map from the symlink (outside of the store) to 
the store path (inside the store).
 2006-12-05 00:48:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d27a73b1a9 * In addPermRoot, check that the root that we just registered can be 
found by the garbage collector.  This addresses NIX-71 and is a
  particular concern in multi-user stores.
 2006-12-05 00:34:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 74033a844f * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged 
processes can register indirect roots.  Of course, there is still
  the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of
  the indirect roots when it's running as root...
 2006-12-04 23:29:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d40f6d7bb * Not every OS knows about SIGPOLL. 2006-12-04 22:58:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7751160e9f * Don't redirect stderr. 2006-12-04 19:10:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40c3529909 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions. 
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that).
* Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler.
  Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal
  appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
 2006-12-04 17:55:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0130ef88ea * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server 
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket.  The
  server forks a worker process per connection.
* readString(): use the heap, not the stack.
* Some protocol fixes.
 2006-12-04 17:17:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4740baf3a6 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket 
instead of forking a worker.
 2006-12-04 14:21:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f5f0cf423f * Refactoring. 2006-12-04 13:28:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 052b6fb149 * Pass the verbosity level to the worker. 2006-12-04 13:15:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1e16d20655 * Install the worker in bindir, not libexecdir. 
* Allow the worker path to be overriden through the NIX_WORKER
  environment variable.
 2006-12-04 13:09:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9322b399f3 * Doh. 2006-12-03 20:41:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4279bcde0 * Don't run setuid root when build-users is empty. 
* Send startup errors to the client.
 2006-12-03 16:25:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 35247c4c9f * Removed `build-allow-root'. 
* Added `build-users-group', the group under which builds are to be
  performed.
* Check that /nix/store has 1775 permission and is owner by the
  build-users-group.
 2006-12-03 15:32:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84d6459bd5 * Use setreuid if setresuid is not available. 2006-12-03 14:32:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a9f9241054 * Handle a subtle race condition: the client closing the socket 
between the last worker read/write and the enabling of the signal
  handler.
 2006-12-03 03:16:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3ed9e4ad9b * Some hardcore magic to handle asynchronous client disconnects. 
The problem is that when we kill the client while the worker is
  building, and the builder is not writing anything to stderr, then
  the worker never notice that the socket is closed on the other side,
  so it just continues indefinitely.  The solution is to catch SIGIO,
  which is sent when the far side of the socket closes, and simulate
  an normal interruption.  Of course, SIGIO is also sent every time
  the client sends data over the socket, so we only enable the signal
  handler when we're not expecting any data...
 2006-12-03 03:03:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4251f94b32 * Use a Unix domain socket instead of pipes. 2006-12-03 02:36:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c76df93e6 * Better error message if the worker doesn't start. 2006-12-03 02:22:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 363f40022f * Pid::kill() should be interruptable. 2006-12-03 02:12:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7951c3c546 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the 
client.
 2006-12-03 02:08:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 714fa24cfb * Run the worker in a separate session to prevent terminal signals 
from interfering.
 2006-12-03 00:52:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e25fad691a * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function 
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing
  write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
 2006-12-02 16:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 30bf547f4f * Doh. 2006-12-02 15:46:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 536595b072 * Remove most of the old setuid code. 
* Much simpler setuid code for the worker in slave mode.
 2006-12-02 15:45:51 +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 8ba5d32769 * Remove queryPathHash(). 
* Help for nix-worker.
 2006-12-02 14:27:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +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 ceb982a1be * Right name. 2006-12-01 18:02:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0d8e05be1 * More operations. 
* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if
  we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode).
 2006-12-01 18:00:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0565b5f2b3 * More remote operations. 
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than
  querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
 2006-11-30 22:43:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aac547a8b3 * Doh. 2006-11-30 21:32:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0263279071 * More operations. 2006-11-30 20:45:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a711689368 * First remote operation: isValidPath(). 2006-11-30 20:13:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 765bdfe542 * When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave 
mode.  Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
  The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
  the caller can be completely unprivileged.

  This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
  the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
  Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
  files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
  store operations.

  Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
  a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
  That would be even more secure.
 2006-11-30 19:54:43 +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 9adc074dc3 * Oops. 2006-11-30 18:35:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9cf1948993 * Skeleton of remote store implementation. 2006-11-30 18:35:36 +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 80b742dd52 * Don't spam. 2006-11-29 22:07:49 +00:00
Roy van den Broek 92417600a1 * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation. 2006-11-29 21:58:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71e867c5f5 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group. 
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
  platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
  FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
  binaries.
 2006-11-29 21:06:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c6a97e3b74 * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course. 
(NIX-70)
 2006-11-24 20:24:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a76efaeb3f * Dead files. 2006-11-24 20:07:30 +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 f459a5bb3a * Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessary 
now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy.
 2006-11-13 18:19:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2a70b7ec0 * Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references 
graph to be passed to a builder.  This attribute should be a list of
  pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...].  The references graph of each
  `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build
  directory.  The text files have the format used by `nix-store
  --register-validity'.  However, the deriver fields are left empty.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do
  something with the closure of a store path.  Examples: the builders
  that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure.  It's necessary because
  otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would
  be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though
  unfortunately possible).
 2006-11-13 18:18:13 +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 7e85a2af5f * Fix importing of derivation outputs. 2006-11-03 16:17:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8478cd260f * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files. 2006-10-30 11:56:09 +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 dd300fb48d * Some better error messages. 2006-10-23 16:45:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 17f4883bfe * Better message. 2006-10-19 17:43:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9bd93f7606 * toFile: maintain the references. 2006-10-19 17:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a67556f71 * Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to 
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the
  specified set.  For instance,

    allowedReferences = [];

  specifies that the output cannot have any references.  (This is
  useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for
  stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity).  It
  could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies,
  e.g.,

    {gcc, dynlib}: derivation {
      ...
      allowedReferences = [dynlib];
    }

  says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not
  `gcc'.  A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for
  this, though.
 2006-10-19 16:09:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra daa8f85fcd * Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10. 2006-10-17 14:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24737f279e * Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests. 2006-10-17 14:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4bd5cdb90b * Print out the offending path. 2006-10-17 14:01:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58ff6939f4 * An awful backwards compatibility hack. 2006-10-17 12:58:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3059df0f1e * baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute. 2006-10-17 12:34:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 822dba2210 * Maintain the references for the user environment properly. 2006-10-17 12:15:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra be1961c9f8 * toPath: should be the identity on paths. 2006-10-17 11:07:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cba913c521 * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. 2006-10-17 11:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass 
non-store paths to a builder.
 2006-10-17 10:58:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7de5fe2fc2 * Do the path check on the normal form. 2006-10-17 10:57:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46b631b6c4 * Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest. 2006-10-17 10:15:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string 
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
 2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37c8a664f3 * A helpful message. 2006-10-13 11:49:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4af398681 * Don't crash when upgrading the Berkeley DB environment. 2006-10-13 11:15:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another 
kind of notation for strings.
 2006-10-11 21:59:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4c5c2020 * Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix 
expression resides in the store.
 2006-10-10 21:23:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bd0c40e1e9 * import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make import (x + y)' 
work, where x is a store path.
 2006-10-10 15:07:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e08f5efe1 * Documented nix-store --dump / --restore. 2006-10-05 22:57:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5fd44654db * toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the 
argument.
 2006-10-03 15:38:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path 
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
 2006-10-03 14:55:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac19b333b3 * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. 2006-10-02 15:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7581cfdee4 * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. 2006-10-02 14:43:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ad6fb7ea3 * Fix setuid builds. 2006-09-27 21:04:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3632019b73 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly 
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front";
  particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
 2006-09-25 14:00:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e347033f71 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand 
side should be a path, I guess.
* Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the
  store directory.
* Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
 2006-09-24 21:39:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path. 
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
 2006-09-24 18:23:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers. 
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
 2006-09-22 15:29:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list. 
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
 2006-09-22 14:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of 
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
 2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for 
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)
 2006-09-22 14:31:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 666babbbfa * Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not reading 
regular files into memory all at once.
 2006-09-22 13:10:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d22d7565f3 * Don't allocate the buffer twice. 2006-09-22 11:28:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b43aeadbc9 * Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes. 2006-09-22 11:13:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 25df501704 * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15). 2006-09-21 19:06:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e91d8621f * Fix comment. 2006-09-21 18:52:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1bdc152931 * Shut up a warning. 2006-09-20 16:36:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0623359fbc * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). 2006-09-20 16:15:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0afaf1857 * Wow, that bug has been there since r764. 2006-09-14 22:48:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 86cbd93ec1 * nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations / 
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
  unlikely) race conditions.
 2006-09-14 22:33:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5c38c863bd * Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector. 
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
  add a new root.  So if nix-env started after and finished before the
  garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
  it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
  chain in ~/.nix-profile...

* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
  garbage collector lock...").

* Don't loop trying to create a new generation.  It's not necessary
  anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.
 2006-09-14 22:30:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 01d169f817 * Support `++'. 
* More follow restrictions on layout.
 2006-09-11 13:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra feb63da431 * Remove debug message. 2006-09-08 09:31:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a89a201598 * Missing #include. 2006-09-05 10:32:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fc195519b5 * Sone missing #includes. 2006-09-05 08:54:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bafc1690fc * Move setuid stuff to libutil. 
* Install libexpr header files.
 2006-09-04 22:55:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e5a6c09b12 * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. 2006-09-04 22:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4be5443882 * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. 2006-09-04 22:08:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2382a729e0 * Don't need extern "C". 2006-09-04 21:50:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3ce954582 * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++ 
marshalling code.
 2006-09-04 21:36:15 +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 aab8812732 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. 2006-09-04 15:12:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store 
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }
 2006-09-01 12:07:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra de90fdf908 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too 
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution
  isn't quite right...)
 2006-09-01 12:04:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c25f688e23 * Doh! Doh! Doh! 2006-08-31 15:38:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 354d58b3d7 * Better error checking. 2006-08-31 11:40:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f93f7b75be * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. 2006-08-30 13:10:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3151bdea55 * Uninitialised variable. 2006-08-30 12:00:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 547b119f25 * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print 
a warning.
 2006-08-29 15:40:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2132d9ddeb * Fix the ~ operator. 2006-08-29 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ec9f55741 * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them). 2006-08-28 21:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1fca76870b * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all 
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings.  This is
  possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that
  describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the
  string.
 2006-08-28 13:31:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a6080eb14 * Refactoring. 2006-08-26 16:48:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4b66cebe7b * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em. 2006-08-25 17:09:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e8dccf6ab * Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from being 
normalised away.
 2006-08-24 15:02:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 215ec2ddc6 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to 
an XML representation stored in a string.  This should be useful to
  pass structured information to builders.
 2006-08-24 14:34:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f793caf936 * Refactoring. 2006-08-24 14:16:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra da25d80152 * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists. 2006-08-24 14:03:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 943ab38a0d * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr. 2006-08-24 13:39:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f41297fdce * Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example: 
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'

  to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
  all-packages.nix).
 2006-08-23 16:33:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9638f3f393 * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate 
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is
  needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
 2006-08-23 16:20:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b19cebc513 * Quotes. 2006-08-23 15:46:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 38f18aa6d4 * New primop: abort "error message". 2006-08-23 15:46:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing 
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
 2006-08-23 14:39:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24e234a2fa * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order 
produced by ATermMap.  Necessary for testing.
* `--strict' should also work on stdin.
 2006-08-17 08:53:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 22ba63df16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and 
so on.
* Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
 2006-08-16 21:59:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18e4ac0fc6 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XML 
representation instead of an ATerm.
* Indent XML output.
 2006-08-16 10:32:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2670642733 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:28:44 +00:00
Martin Bravenboer 3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world 
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.
 2006-08-15 21:37:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7455fd8835 * Put the value in an attribute. 2006-08-14 14:24:18 +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 92f7dfa5b7 * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder are 
valid.
 2006-08-11 20:15:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d19b6521fc * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default 
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in
  parallel).  Useful on multi-processor machines.
 2006-08-10 20:19:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f1aa71a92f * Fix the help message wrt --attr. 2006-08-09 15:12:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a18d02e0b0 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated. 2006-08-09 15:08:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0607be7f4 * Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95. 2006-08-07 19:48:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1854f84e83 * Fix a few warnings. 2006-08-04 17:07:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dcff8cdb76 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order. 2006-08-04 16:01:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 339e6f0e1d * `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easier 
automated processing.
 2006-08-03 15:52:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e267e2625 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that the 
result can be used more easily by scripts.
 2006-08-03 14:49:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4750f6c5ed * Simple class for writing XML files. 2006-08-03 13:21:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ac237e242 * Show some progress. 2006-08-01 09:43:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4661282fde * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed 
to functions from the command line.
* nix-build: started removing backticks.
 2006-07-28 16:03:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for 
functions arguments that have a domain.
 2006-07-28 14:01:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ca2238cf81 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations() 
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
 2006-07-26 15:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2317d8f671 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a 
top-level function.
 2006-07-25 21:21:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at 
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
  with some modifications.  This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
  attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
  using `nix-env -i -A'.  Example:

    $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
    subversionWithJava  subversion-1.2.3
    subversion          subversion-1.3.2
    subversion14        subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
    xorg.xorgserver     xorg-server-1.1.0
 2006-07-25 16:40:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do, 
e.g.,

  $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver

  The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
  names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
 2006-07-25 11:53:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument. 
Can't be lazy!
 2006-07-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function 
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.
 2006-07-24 16:35:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a4273156c4 * Use $(libexecdir) to find find-runtime-roots.pl. 2006-07-20 13:21:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ee2cf45d76 * Use debug(). 2006-07-20 12:19:55 +00:00
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 4f3725b167 * Better error messages (especially wrt types). 2006-07-19 15:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e10b830251 * Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes. 2006-07-11 10:29:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d51aede4af * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in the 
Nix config file.
 2006-07-06 15:30:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a945fb7905 * `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equal 
to the new version.  This is actually useful.
 2006-06-27 12:17:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dbf6d7e783 * Concurrent GC on Cygwin. 2006-06-20 17:48:10 +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 b35735d8b2 * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock 
files after we've closed them.  Since this only succeeds if the lock
  is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is
  not necessary.
 2006-06-19 14:43:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e783e5579 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when 
there are several parallel processes.
 2006-06-19 14:37:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c937b73622 * Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock. 2006-06-16 10:13:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 588cb0eade * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between 
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile.  Fixes NIX-7.
 2006-06-15 11:56:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b454977909 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user 
is not in the "wheel" group.
 2006-06-14 11:53:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 23960e92df * Minor cleanup. 2006-06-01 18:13:33 +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 b1c63dc362 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages. 2006-05-30 11:31:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58b4198ed8 * Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now. 2006-05-29 20:46:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d764409d97 * Some Cygwin fixes. 2006-05-24 13:23:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d72bf8835 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon 
64 running 64-bit SUSE).  A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix
  succesfully.
 2006-05-11 02:19:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c54287eafe * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2006-05-08 15:15:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments 
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.
 2006-05-08 12:52:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 310e605995 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1. 2006-05-08 10:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d300b4383d * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder 
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
 2006-05-02 21:58:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68174bdc7d * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of 
copying.
 2006-05-02 21:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c791e94aee * Removed a bunch of ATreverses. 2006-05-02 17:51:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b52e711910 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas 
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
 2006-05-02 17:12:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 11ae2d1e7a * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by 
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
 2006-05-02 14:07:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc719e6ba5 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45. 2006-05-02 13:39:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7276e194ee * Disallow unescaped $ in string literals. 2006-05-01 15:29:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0064599a27 * String interpolation. Expressions like 
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"

  can now be written as

    "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"

  An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
  identifiers.

* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
  other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
  
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
 2006-05-01 14:01:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6cecad2be0 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g., 
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library="
      + freetype + "/lib";
 2006-05-01 09:56:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef2d4a2da9 * Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the 
derivation dependency graph.
 2006-03-24 14:02:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b69e469328 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have 
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
 2006-03-23 16:43:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49ce8b57dd * Hm. 2006-03-23 16:37:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fdea084c36 * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink 
components.
 2006-03-10 22:27:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d1b1cafd * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of 
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute).
  E.g.,

  $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
 2006-03-10 16:20:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b3b6c9b34 * In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap 
re-allocations.
 2006-03-10 16:14:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ada6db1fc * `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations 
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'.  This does require the
  argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all
  derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.
 2006-03-10 10:24:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18c321308d * Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used 
ostringstreams.  Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now
  it's 0.5%).
 2006-03-09 17:07:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b90c00e63f * Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed. 2006-03-09 15:10:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 922697c8b2 * Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual 
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
  "nix-env -qa").  It turns out that many redundant calls to
  addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
  For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
  hashed many times.  As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
  its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
  Some simple memoization fixes this.
 2006-03-09 15:09:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6dca5c9099 * When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all 
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
  "i686-linux"').  This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
  on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
  platforms.

  Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky.  In particular,
  due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
  disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.

  Commit 5000!
 2006-03-08 16:03:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9088dee9e2 * Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch 
Nix expression assertion failures.
 2006-03-08 14:11:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa72ae1e9c * GCC 4.1 compatibility. 2006-03-06 14:40:10 +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 70dee0f8ca * Flags --to-base32' and --to-base16' to convert between hex and 
base-32 hashes.
 2006-03-01 18:05:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e136532800 * Ouch, parseHash32 was completely broken. All digits >= 4 were 
parsed as 4.

  For a moment I worried that printHash32 was broken, and that would
  have been really, *really* bad ;-)
 2006-03-01 17:59:08 +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 d822bf32e4 * Close the database before the destructor runs. 2006-03-01 16:36:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b6780b9e10 * Uninitialised variable. Fixes the --delete test. 2006-03-01 14:39:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b602d2dfdf * Wrong delete. Thanks valgrind. 2006-03-01 14:39:10 +00:00
