regnat addacfce4a Allow running all the tests with the daemon
When `NIX_DAEMON_PACKAGE` is set, make all the tests use the Nix daemon.
That way we can test every piece of Nix functionality both with and
without the daemon.

Tests for which using the daemon isn’t possible or doesn’t make sens can
selectively be disabled with `needLocalStore`

Remove nix-build --hash
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.

It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.

Eelco Dolstra 6f1743b1a5 Support SHA-512 hashes
Fixes #679.

Note: on x86_64, SHA-512 is considerably faster than SHA-256 (198 MB/s
versus 131 MB/s).

Eelco Dolstra d4c3b6327f Don't put results symlinks in the tests directory 2012-09-11 19:14:15 -04:00

Eelco Dolstra 1dcf208f56 * Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate). 2009-03-18 13:15:55 +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).

Eelco Dolstra 455a7b9577 * Test case to show that parallel builds of different fixed-output
derivations that produce the same output path don't work properly
  wrt locking.  This happens a lot in the build farm when fetchurl
  derivations downloading the same file on different platforms are
  executed in parallel and then copied back to the main machine.
