2010-05-04 10:45:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24035b98b1 * Implement RemoteStore::queryValidPaths(). 2010-02-26 12:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e42401ee7b * Implement RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs(). 2010-02-25 15:52:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 60ec75048a * Pass --use-atime / --max-atime to the daemon. 2008-12-16 12:23:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96598e7b06 * Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon. 2008-11-11 15:11:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db4f4a8425 * Backward compatibility check to prevent nixos-rebuild from barfing
when upgrading Nix.
2008-08-14 13:02:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 03427e76f1 * querySubstitutablePathInfo: work properly when run via the daemon.
* --dry-run: print the paths that we don't know how to build/substitute.
2008-08-04 11:44:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a72709afd8 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-18 09:34:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c370755583 * Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.
* queryDeriver in daemon mode: don't barf if the other side returns an
  empty string (which means there is no deriver).
2007-11-16 16:15:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3441e6122 * Pass various options to the worker so that flags like -K or -j work
in multi-user Nix (NIX-72).
* Client/worker: exchange a protocol version number for future
  compatibility.
2007-09-18 09:11:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d65fc08e2 * Create the Nix daemon socket in a separate directory
(/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket).  This allows access to the Nix daemon
  to be restricted by setting the mode/ownership on that directory as
  desired, e.g.

    $ chmod 770 /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
    $ chown root.wheel /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket

  to allow only users in the wheel group to use Nix.

  Setting the ownership on a socket is much trickier, since the socket
  must be deleted and recreated every time the daemon is started
  (which would require additional Nix configuration file directives to
  specify the mode/ownership, and wouldn't support arbitrary ACLs),
  some BSD variants appear to ignore permissions on sockets, and it's
  not clear whether the umask is respected on every platform when
  creating sockets.

Eelco Dolstra 59afc1a15c * Backwards compatibility. 2007-08-13 11:15:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
2007-08-12 00:29:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6d1a1191b0 * Support queryDeriver() in multi-user installations. 2007-06-12 16:53:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bdadb98de8 * `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker
always requires a signature on the archive.  This is to ensure that
  unprivileged users cannot add Trojan horses to the Nix store.
2007-02-21 17:34:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0f5da8a83c * Support exportPath() in remote mode. 2007-02-21 16:34:00 +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 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 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 7951c3c546 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the
client.
2006-12-03 02:08:13 +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 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 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 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
