Eelco Dolstra d7b87bebe3 * The Nix configuration file is usually /etc/nix/nix.conf. 2011-11-03 18:47:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 325b5a8aee * Fix permission on /nix/store in the manual for multi-user installs
(reported by Silvio Frischknecht).
2011-11-02 19:14:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a12095d3be * In printValueAsXML, handle the case where a "type" attribute is not
a string.  This happens in the NixOS option system.
* Remove a bogus comparison of a unsigned integer with -1.

Eelco Dolstra d43a148204 * Add a test for nix-copy-closure. 2011-10-11 13:58:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2492914fbc * Move the remote building test from the NixOS tree to the Nix tree. 2011-10-11 13:06:59 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra cd6d02c366 2011-10-10 21:30:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fcdbcac20 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under
the Nix:: namespace.

Eelco Dolstra 659c427caa * Hopefully perl-devel contains the required headers (untested). 2011-10-10 18:58:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73fe6871c4 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the
bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts.

  The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really
  like each other, so building is a bit tricky.

Shea Levy bffe35aced Update gitignore 2011-09-19 04:36:49 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 55481c44d4 * Don't assume that we want a shared Nix store. 2011-09-17 09:53:31 +00:00
Shea Levy e81c09edbf Remove the current output metadata from the string for unsaveDiscardOutputDependency 2011-09-16 11:31:00 +00:00
Shea Levy bf50d6ad32 Add information about which output is active to drvPath's context
This will break things that depend on being able to just strip away an equals sign, so those have to be updated next

Shea Levy ffa038f66d Add an sCurrentOutput member to EvalState 2011-09-16 11:30:44 +00:00
Shea Levy f3e410d4bf Add a currentOutput attribute to derivations keep track of which output is active 2011-09-16 11:30:03 +00:00
Shea Levy 8f28a3ba25 Add a test for multiple outputs
This currently fails. Yay test-driven development!
2011-09-14 05:59:29 +00:00
Shea Levy c172d16b00 First attempt at the output-as-derivation semantics
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is
the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific
to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all
of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as
each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs)
as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the
outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).

Shea Levy 0b34e57eb8 Create a branch for me to play around with finishing off the multiple outputs implementation 2011-09-14 00:41:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 13114daa3e * Ouch. A store upgrade could cause a substituter to be triggered,
causing a deadlock.

Ludovic Courtès 281e3ed059 bootstrap: Simplify & make more robust. 2011-09-06 12:11:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e6cb3d0a0d * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified.
  E.g.

    $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system)
    path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa'

  All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been
  modified, 0 otherwise.

Eelco Dolstra 82710f96f7 * Add some -f flags, never hurts. 2011-09-06 12:00:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93227ff65c * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.
This should also fix:

    nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

  which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
  object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-08-31 21:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bcdc7e351 * Update the cleanup script. 2011-08-27 16:59:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a95ba4cdd9 * Use last_insert_id instead of sqlite_last_insert_rowid, which you're
not really supposed to use according to the DBD::SQLite docs, and
  fails on some systems (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1246662).
2011-08-17 14:17:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra da18b11b05 * On FreeBSD, ‘touch’ is not in the test $PATH, so don't use it. 2011-08-08 14:08:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76e0029f7a * Add perl-DBD-SQLite as a dependency of the RPM builds. 2011-08-08 14:06:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d374be551d * Add DBD-SQLite as a dependency to the Debian/Ubuntu builds.
* Drop some old Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu releases.
2011-08-08 13:19:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d663b502d * Cache the result of file evaluation (i.e, memoize evalFile()). This
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple
  times.  For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS
  causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times.

  Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint
  reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with
  GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).
2011-08-06 19:45:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 510033e783 * Handle <path> syntax. 2011-08-06 18:54:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d091ee99a * Handle the case where the search path element is a regular file. 2011-08-06 18:45:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 00a724ebc6 * Remove a debug statement. 2011-08-06 18:24:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07340b8be7 * Add the Nix corepkgs to the end of the search path. This makes it
possible for other Nix expressions to use corepkgs (mostly useful
  for the buildenv function).
2011-08-06 18:23:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c7101dac0b * Allow redirections in search path entries. E.g. if you have a
directory

    /home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates

  that you want to use as the directory for import such as

    with (import <nixpkgs> { });

  then you can say

    $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
2011-08-06 17:48:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1578b2261d * Add lang/dir* to the distribution. 2011-08-06 16:18:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ecc97b6bd * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.

    import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>

  are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
  the search path.  This allows us to get rid of hacks like

    import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"

  The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
  and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
  e.g.,

    $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...

  If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
  lazily thrown.
2011-08-06 16:05:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 54945a2950 * Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into
the EvalState class.
2011-08-06 13:02:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c8606664ab * Don't allow derivations with fixed and non-fixed outputs. 2011-07-20 18:26:00 +00:00
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.
2011-07-20 18:10:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d2bfe1b071 * Added a test that make sure that users cannot register
specially-crafted derivations that produce output paths belonging to
  other derivations.  This could be used to inject malware into the
  store.
