Matthieu Coudron 6920c23701 Improve error message for conflicting priorities
I find the error message 'nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER PKGNAME'
not as helpful as it could be :
- doesn't share the current priorities
- doesn't say that the command must be run on the already installed
PKGNAME (which is confusing the first time)
- the doc needs careful reading:
"If there are multiple derivations matching a name in args that have the same name (e.g., gcc-3.3.6 and gcc-4.1.1), then the derivation with the highest priority is used."
if one stops reading there, he is screwed. Salvation comes with reading "A derivation can define a priority by declaring the meta.priority attribute. This attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower priority. The default priority is 0."
To sum it up, lower number wins. I tried to convey this idea in the
message too.

RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the pool
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots
periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the
corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is
restarted.

It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at
process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions
like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a
pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.

Show the pid of temporary roots 2017-09-14 15:02:52 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra da1e4fdfb5
nix-store -q --roots / --gc --print-roots: Print temporary / in-memory roots
For example,

  $ nix-store -q --roots /nix/store/7phd2sav7068nivgvmj2vpm3v47fd27l-patchelf-0.8pre845_0315148
  {temp:1}

denotes that the path is only being kept alive by a temporary root
(i.e. /nix/var/nix/temproots/). Similarly,

  $ nix-store --gc --print-roots
  ...
  {memory:9} -> /nix/store/094gpjn9f15ip17wzxhma4r51nvsj17p-curl-7.53.1

shows that curl is being used by some process.

Peter Simons 1511f01351 docker: update to Nix 1.11.14
- Use the latest Nix version 1.11.14.

- Attempts to download the Nix installation tarball from http://nixos.org
  redirect to https these days, which wget doesn't support unless OpenSSL is
  available.

- Use addgroup and adduser commands to create the Nix build users.

- Link the Nix profile script into /etc/profile.d, where it's run
  automatically.

- Dropped installation of bash and tar. Neither tool is essential for running
  Nix.

Use the command "docker build -t nix . && docker run -it --rm nix sh -"
to build and run the Nix docker container.

Eelco Dolstra d41c5eb13f Add command "nix why-depends"
This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime
closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure:

  $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
  /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1:
    lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

  /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev:
    nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's
nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

GC: Don't delete own temproots file
Since file locks are per-process rather than per-file-descriptor, the
garbage collector would always acquire a lock on its own temproots
file and conclude that it's stale.

Sergei Trofimovich c9857ef262 src/libmain/stack.cc: fix 'ucontext' usage on glibc-2.26
Build fails as:

$ make
  CXX    src/libmain/stack.o
src/libmain/stack.cc: In function 'void nix::sigsegvHandler(int, siginfo_t*, void*)':
src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: error: 'ucontext' was not declared in this scope
     sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP];
                     ^~~~~~~~
src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: note: suggested alternative: 'ucontext_t'
     sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP];
                     ^~~~~~~~
                     ucontext_t

It's caused by upstream rename:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=251287734e89a52da3db682a8241eb6bccc050c9

which basically changes
    typedef struct ucontext {} ucontext_t;
to
    typedef struct ucontext_t {} ucontext_t;

The change uses ucontext_t.

Call queryMissing() prior to building
Without this, substitute info is fetched sequentially, which is
superslow. In the old UI (e.g. nix-build), we call printMissing(),
which calls queryMissing(), thereby preheating the binary cache
cache. But the new UI doesn't do that.

nix run: Allow passing a command to execute
E.g.

Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is
necessary.

"-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they
both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't
start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.

nix run: Fix chroot execution
Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g.

  $ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello

stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The
obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there
is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that
the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for
some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads.

So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix
__run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().
