Eelco Dolstra 3acc8adcad Add some debug code 2012-11-15 13:55:02 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra ea89df2b76 Use vfork() instead of fork() if available 
Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot
allocate memory’ errors.  vfork() is used for everything except
starting builders.

Eelco Dolstra 48c19c4633 Remove definition of non-existant function 2012-11-09 17:59:41 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 198dbe7fa1 Remove some redundant close() calls 
They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.

Eelco Dolstra 182e15b661 Manual: Don't use a store path in our closure 
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3313227
 2012-11-09 16:30:15 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 88164325fa Fix a segfault when auto-calling a "a@{...}" function 
Since the called function can return its argument attribute set
(e.g. "a"), the latter should not be allocated on the stack.

Reported by Shea.

Eelco Dolstra f581ce0b0c Don't start copy-from-other-stores if $NIX_OTHER_STORES is unset 
Slight optimisation.

Eelco Dolstra 91ef4d9a81 Remove unnecessary call to closeMostFDs() 
We have close-on-exec on all FDs now, and there is no security risk in
passing open FDs to substituters anyway.

Eelco Dolstra e28b683324 download-from-binary-cache: Try next cache if downloading a NAR fails 2012-11-06 17:55:53 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra bbc107ef1e Process binary caches in order of priority 
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.
The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority.  This
is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are
processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.

Eelco Dolstra 3a95e1a17c Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache format 2012-11-06 15:49:53 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 82951e5582 nix-push: Handle pushing a symlink 2012-11-06 13:53:53 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’ 
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

Eelco Dolstra df27db712d Fix "Not an ARRAY reference" error 
It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm
(e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602).  Ah well.

Eelco Dolstra dde6486eab nix-push: Add a flag ‘--manifest-path’ to write the manifest to another directory 2012-10-18 10:36:16 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra c8daeba303 nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag 
If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files
in the store, rather than copying them.  This is faster and requires
less disk space.  However, it doesn't work if the store is on a
different file system.

Eelco Dolstra 167e36a5c3 nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist 
This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist
in the binary cache.

Eelco Dolstra 70f75be199 getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure 
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not
for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.

Eelco Dolstra e35d6f78dc Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon 2012-10-03 17:59:23 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 522ecab9b8 Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode 
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.

Eelco Dolstra a562d544d8 When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page 
I.e. do what git does.  I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)

Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).

Eelco Dolstra 0a7084567f Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate 
This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.

Eelco Dolstra a807edfae8 Handle repairing paths that are in build-chroot-dirs 2012-10-03 11:20:16 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra a3f205b249 When repairing a derivation, check and repair the entire output closure 
If we find a corrupted path in the output closure, we rebuild the
derivation that produced that particular path.
 2012-10-03 10:38:09 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 2001895f3d Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs 
With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt,
it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by
rebuilding the derivation.  The latter may use hash rewriting if
chroots are not available.

Eelco Dolstra cf46f19444 nix-store -r: Get rid of an unnecessary call to buildPaths/ensurePaths 2012-10-02 16:00:09 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 8e3a7bd712 nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all missing/corrupt paths 
Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after
verifying/repairing.
 2012-10-02 15:12:56 -04:00
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.
