Eelco Dolstra 37fa47908b Build Ubuntu 12.04 packages 2012-05-10 22:12:20 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d383f57f4 Document "nix-build --run-env" 2012-05-10 19:29:36 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f7bab7db1 Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled 
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on
platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.

Eelco Dolstra 663c06e8cd Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs 
The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or
in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.

Eelco Dolstra 464089365e Fix some 32-bit builds 
Perl on some 32-bit systems needs -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.  See also commit
02f1363e19.

Eelco Dolstra c6acb219f9 Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGS 
This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380).
Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.

Eelco Dolstra 56c82f3d9d Don't build for old Debian/Ubuntu releases that don't have a sufficiently new SQLite 2012-05-04 17:45:21 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 373e875ac2 Don't build for old Fedora releases that don't have a sufficiently new SQLite 2012-05-04 17:25:25 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra d03a295192 Require SQLite >= 3.6.19 
Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was
introduced in 3.6.19.  Without it, the database won't be cleaned up
correctly when paths are deleted.  See
e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142.
 2012-05-04 17:21:43 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra e060c99447 Use mkpath instead of make_path 
Perl <= 5.10 doesn't have make_path.  See
e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2493981.

Eelco Dolstra e19fb7ebed Do "make installcheck" for RPM builds 2012-05-01 16:31:56 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra e145ac30e3 Do "make installcheck" for Debian builds 2012-05-01 15:48:17 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra db5b86ef13 * Add an option ‘build-use-substitutes’, which can be set to ‘false’ 
to disable use of substitutes; i.e., force building from source.
  Fixes Nix/221.
 2012-04-30 19:15:34 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 59a26360c7 Support mandatory system features in the build hook 
Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's
requiredSystemFeatures attribute.  One application is performance
testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests
(and nothing else).  Then we would add the label "perf" to the
machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing
derivations.

Eelco Dolstra 82ae0e688c Update the documentation of build-remote.pl 2012-04-30 16:49:00 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 46cdc6ad51 Handle EPERM when creating a hard link for the chroot 
There is a race condition when doing parallel builds with chroots and
the immutable bit enabled.  One process may call makeImmutable()
before the other has called link(), in which case link() will fail
with EPERM.  We could retry or wrap the operation in a lock, but since
this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy
fallback.

Fixes #9.

Eelco Dolstra 1132dd27ea Fix obscure race condition in GC root creation 
This should fix rare Hydra errors of the form:

error: symlinking `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/hydra/hydra-roots/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795' to `/nix/store/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795': File exists

Eelco Dolstra 0b5107c016 If the (redirected) channel URL contains a version number, use it 2012-04-14 21:05:28 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d0bafb74d Follow redirects early to ensure consistency between the manifest and the tarball 
Without this change, if the URL is a redirect that changes in between,
we can get a manifest that doesn't match the tarball.

Eelco Dolstra ef902274fd Remove unnecessary "system" argument 2012-04-14 18:48:11 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements 
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).
