Eelco Dolstra e0204f8d46 Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.

This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().

Eelco Dolstra c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)
2016-02-04 14:28:26 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra d367b8e787 Add build mode to compute fixed-output derivation hashes
For example,

  $ nix-build --hash -A nix-repl.src

will build the fixed-output derivation nix-repl.src (a fetchFromGitHub
call), but instead of *verifying* the hash given in the Nix
expression, it prints out the resulting hash, and then moves the
result to its content-addressed location in the Nix store. E.g

  build produced path ‘/nix/store/504a4k6zi69dq0yjc0bm12pa65bccxam-nix-repl-8a2f5f0607540ffe56b56d52db544373e1efb980-src’ with sha256 hash ‘0cjablz01i0g9smnavhf86imwx1f9mnh5flax75i615ml71gsr88’

The goal of this is to make all nix-prefetch-* scripts unnecessary: we
can just let Nix run the real thing (i.e., the corresponding fetch*
derivation).

Another example:

  $ nix-build --hash -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchgit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git"; sha256 = "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"; }'
  ...
  git revision is 9e7c1a4bbd
  ...
  build produced path ‘/nix/store/gmsnh9i7x4mb7pyd2ns7n3c9l90jfsi1-nix’ with sha256 hash ‘1188xb621diw89n25rifqg9lxnzpz7nj5bfh4i1y3dnis0dmc0zp’

(Having to specify a fake sha256 hash is a bit annoying...)

Eelco Dolstra 1511aa9f48 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).

So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.

Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).

Fixes #173.

Eelco Dolstra e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA
signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now
specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

Eelco Dolstra d7a92ed4a9 nix-store --serve: Only monitor stdin during builds
Other operations cannot hang indefinitely (except when we're reading

client can close the connection before we've sent an ack.

Eelco Dolstra a5c6347ff0 build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).

It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.

Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

Eelco Dolstra 04170d06bf nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition
There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a
remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client
first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies
over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the
remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present
paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted
paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both
steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’),
locking all paths in the closure while querying.

I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so
this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked
experimental anyway.

Fixes #141.

Eelco Dolstra 9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

2014-02-26 16:32:46 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 1aa19b24b2 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed.  This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)

For example:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
  ...
  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
  error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'

The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid.  Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.

The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Eelco Dolstra 5526a282b5 Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do

  ln /etc/shadow $out/foo

Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo,
causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but
writable by nobody).  That's obviously Very Bad.

Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because
/nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid
cross-device link".  It also fails if hard-link restrictions are
enabled, so a workaround is:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build
user.  This means that innocuous operations like "ln
${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed
in chroot builds anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 99ed558a93 Correctly handle missing logs 2013-01-22 22:07:25 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 536c85ea49 Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>
...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation.
Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into
all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences.  For instance,
ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551:
Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.

Eelco Dolstra 2754a07ead nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings
So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root
due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store
-q --roots’ now shows that root.
2012-12-20 18:41:44 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 46a369ad95 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":

  $ nix-build -A pkg

produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.man

produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all

produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2

produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

Eelco Dolstra 9de6bc5d05 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored.  This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them.  The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.
2012-11-20 00:27:25 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra bf3725da2a nix-store -r: Don't quietly ignore missing paths 2012-11-19 23:51:56 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra a562d544d8 When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page
I.e. do what git does.  I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)

Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03 16:40:09 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 2001895f3d Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs
With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt,
it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by
rebuilding the derivation.  The latter may use hash rewriting if
chroots are not available.
2012-10-02 17:13:46 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra cf46f19444 nix-store -r: Get rid of an unnecessary call to buildPaths/ensurePaths 2012-10-02 16:00:09 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 8e3a7bd712 nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all missing/corrupt paths
Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after
verifying/repairing.
2012-10-02 15:12:56 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 9958bd6992 Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Eelco Dolstra a9e6752bbd Include the output name in the GC root link
Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by
nix-build.  For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out",
nothing is appended.  E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation
that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks
"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

Eelco Dolstra 564fb7d9fa optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links.  For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link

  P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>

to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'.  This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered.  It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

Eelco Dolstra 4bc4da331a Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector
We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full.  Since this
prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we
reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection.  This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.

Fixes #27.

Eelco Dolstra d5a5a83ad4 Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate 2012-02-09 18:27:45 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e624849b6 * Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced
  by the shell, e.g.

  $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))"
  $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp
  $ source $stdenv/setup

  This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build
  a package outside of its builder for development purposes.

  TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the
  dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-17 23:07:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93b56acb2d * Support multiple outputs in nix-store (specifically the ‘--query’
and ‘--realise’ actions).
2011-12-30 17:25:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 273b288a7e * importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input
stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire

2011-12-16 22:31:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49f59dceca * Move parseHash16or32 into libutil, and use in nix-hash. 2011-12-02 11:47:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bbd693cae * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
  ‘nix-copy-closure --to’.  This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23 15:13:37 +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.
2011-09-06 12:06:30 +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.

Eelco Dolstra 705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Without this, on 
  OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then 
  the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct 
  stat", or vice versa.

  This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.

Eelco Dolstra fdcaf37361 * Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n +

Eelco Dolstra 3d55f1eb57 * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
  paths.
2009-11-23 18:16:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6bf87273 * `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
root symlink, not just its target.  E.g.:

  /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 17:23:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8824d60fe5 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
  expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
  buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
  much time to make it practical.

Eelco Dolstra 5dd8fb2069 * Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is
  too large for "long" type').
2009-03-26 11:02:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a57b2920b * Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbage

2009-03-22 17:51:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0008b0006d * Simplify deleting .lock files in /nix/store: just don't delete them
if they belong a path that's currently being built.  This gets rid
  of some Cygwin-specific code.
2008-12-12 17:03:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ff762fb499 * Pass HashType values instead of strings. 2008-12-03 16:10:17 +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).
2008-12-03 15:06:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d250ad1ea * nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy. 2008-11-19 16:26:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b7c839b4e * Typo. 2008-11-11 14:58:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f32fef1b07 * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last
accessed time of paths that may be deleted.  Anything more recently
  used won't be deleted.  The time is specified in time_t,
  e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to
  convert to time_t from the command line. 

  Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two
  months:

  $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
2008-09-17 14:52:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77afd97a99 * nix-store --gc / --delete: show how many store paths were deleted. 2008-09-17 12:53:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7ab68961e4 * Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time.  This is useful in conjunction
  with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
  garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
  may become live again.

  The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
  ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
  priority queue in collectGarbage().
2008-09-17 10:02:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a1d310b6b5 * `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,
just like nix-env.
* `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-08-04 13:44:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3aa183beb * Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least N
bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store
  directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important
  for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories
  limit).
2008-06-18 14:20:16 +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 b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 66c51dc215 * nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.
* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of
  each path.
* Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2008-01-29 18:17:36 +00:00
Michael Raskin 3a2833daff corrected --help message for nix-store a bit 2007-12-10 22:16:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 633518628f * nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)

  or

    $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132

* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
  path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store.  This allows
  things like

    $ nix-build -A firefox
    $ nix-env -i ./result

* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
  anything.  In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
  empty profile.
2007-11-29 16:18:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c05783ad67 * nix-store --import: add a flag --require-signature. 2007-11-16 16:10:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 14e47e9c2c * Doh. 2007-10-10 14:58:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 315183f194 * nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk
savings would be.
2007-10-10 13:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a8629de827 * New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
  to each other.  It typically reduces the size of the store by
  something like 25-35%.  This is what the optimise-store.pl script
  did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
  garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-10-09 22:14:27 +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 7f6161ab3a * Flush cout to show progress. 2007-02-21 23:08:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0db450024d * Export/import many paths in one go. 2007-02-21 23:00:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9da367b7d5 * `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically
under the references relation.  This is useful for commands that
  want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21 22:45:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 881feb9698 * Flag --print-invalid' in nix-store --check-validity' to print out
which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't
  barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it).  This is
  useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be
  copied to a remote machine.  (Currently we use rsync, but that's
  rather inefficient.)
2007-02-21 17:57:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43c4d18c6a * nix-store --import': import an archive created by nix-store
--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic
  signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub.  (TODO: verify
  against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21 15:45:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46e0919ced * `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key
in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b824a1daee * Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store
path.  This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the
  meta-information of the store path (references, deriver).  Will add
  a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we
  will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a
  secure manner.
2007-02-20 23:17:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra afe23b5f38 * nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.
* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and
  print them on stdout.  This allows them to be installed, e.g.,
  "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)".  (NIX-64)
2007-01-13 19:50:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e24d0201c2 * Doh! 2006-12-07 22:07:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ca01065c3 * Rename all those main.cc files. 2006-12-07 20:47:30 +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 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +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 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.
2006-11-30 17:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0541ddc7e3 * Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard
  input/output.  (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to
  call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).)  For instance, `nix-store
  --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a
  certain input.  Another victory for Valgrind.
2006-11-18 18:56:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e40d4a5604 * Option --reregister' in nix-store --register-validity'. We need
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the
  cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual
  contents.
2006-11-13 16:48:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6fb27f18 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if
available.  For instance,

    $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less

  lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your
  profile.

* `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-28 16:33:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e08f5efe1 * Documented nix-store --dump / --restore. 2006-10-05 22:57:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 25df501704 * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15). 2006-09-21 19:06:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fc195519b5 * Sone missing #includes. 2006-09-05 08:54:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4250b641d8 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store
objects that would be freed.
2006-08-11 20:26:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c8bfb11b34 * `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths
will be built or substituted.
2006-03-06 11:21:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7ba1fd2029 * Regularise help text a bit. 2006-03-06 11:04:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 74166f2f44 * db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers. 2006-03-01 17:44:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b6780b9e10 * Uninitialised variable. Fixes the --delete test. 2006-03-01 14:39:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 651ab439cf * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when
the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we
  need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space).  Under
  normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file
  /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB.  When running the garbage
  collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB
  environment.
2006-02-16 13:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1029716a8a * Don't show cycles, they're not very useful. 2006-01-19 15:35:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f96d2dea26 * Added a flag --ignore-liveness' to nix-store --delete'. It
deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root.  However, it
  won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would
  violate store invariants).

  Don't try this at home.  It's a useful hack for recovering from
  certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures
  due to disk corruption).
2005-12-23 21:36:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4b9e7f59ca * Revived the old "nix-store --delete" operation that deletes the
specified paths from the Nix store.  However, this operation is
  safe: it refuses to delete anything that the garbage collector
  wouldn't delete.
2005-12-23 21:08:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 530b27df1e * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout
(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-12-15 21:11:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab5c6bb3a3 * Change referer' to referrer' throughout. In particular, the
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have
  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-12-13 21:04:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c20a08293 * Build dynamic libraries. 2005-07-22 14:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 52a2f41320 * Include some required header files. 2005-05-04 16:33:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c702dfca3f * nix-store: --substitute' -> --register-substitutes'. 2005-04-08 13:48:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4271385a73 * Make `nix-store --query --tree' work on non-derivations (i.e., on
any store path).
2005-04-08 12:57:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f9848d4f31 * Support base-32 hash representations. 2005-04-07 14:33:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c815aff21b * `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output
derivations.  This is mostly to simplify the implementation of
  nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid
  installations.

* Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
2005-04-07 14:01:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f788880b6 * Re-enable dot graph generation. 2005-03-26 22:06:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3f236f01ae * `nix-store --register-validity': allow a path to refer to a path
listed later in the list of new valid paths.
2005-03-23 13:07:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a04c62e0c4 * Canonicalise path meta-data in `nix-store --register-validity'. 2005-03-23 12:06:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f20f081560 * nix-store: --isvalid' -> --check-validity', `--validpath' ->
`--register-validity'.
* `nix-store --register-validity': read arguments from stdin, and
  allow the references and deriver to be set.
2005-03-23 11:25:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07b4399fb6 * `nix-store -q --hash' to quickly query the hash of the contents of a
store path (which is stored in the database).
2005-03-02 15:57:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra eda2c3c253 * Compatibility hack so that Nixpkgs can continue to do hash checking
in `fetchurl' in Nix <= 0.7, but doesn't in Nix 0.8.
2005-02-22 15:23:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0181f56be * `nix-store -q --tree' shows a tree representing the dependency graph
of the given derivation.  Useful for getting a quick overview of how
  something was built.  E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in
  your user environment was built, you can do

    $ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle))

  Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths
  under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).
2005-02-17 15:57:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a3a96dd5b * Switch to the calling user context for some more operations in a
setuid installation.
2005-02-17 13:55:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8992fce3da * It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a
user environment, e.g.,

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv

  or 

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1

  This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
  entirely.  For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
  plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
  without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
  or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
  dependencies).
2005-02-14 17:35:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 98df735b51 * Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism.
* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push.
* Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path).
* Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.
2005-02-09 12:57:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c547439843 * Subflag in --verify': nix-store --verify --check-contents' checks
that the contents of store paths has not changed by comparing hashes
  of their current contents to the hashes stored in the database.
2005-02-08 13:48:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d74274b37 * Updated `nix-store --verify' to the new schema. 2005-02-08 13:23:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fbc434ee4c * `nix-store -qb' to query derivation environment bindings. Useful
for finding build-time dependencies (possibly after a build).  E.g.,

    $ nix-store -qb aterm $(nix-store -qd $(which strc))
    /nix/store/jw7c7s65n1gwhxpn35j9rgcci6ilzxym-aterm-2.3.1

* Arguments to nix-store can be files within store objects, e.g.,
  /nix/store/jw7c...-aterm-2.3.1/bin/baffle.

* Idem for garbage collector roots.
2005-02-07 14:32:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 450c358e20 * Maintain a database table (`derivers') that maps output paths to the
derivation that produced them.
* `nix-store -qd PATH' prints out the derivation that produced a path.
2005-02-07 13:40:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 65b6c8ab4c * Move root finding from nix-collect-garbage' to nix-store --gc'.
This was necessary becase root finding must be done after
  acquisition of the global GC lock.

  This makes `nix-collect-garbage' obsolete; it is now just a wrapper
  around `nix-store --gc'.

* Automatically remove stale GC roots (i.e., indirect GC roots that
  point to non-existent paths).
2005-02-01 15:05:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 630ae0c9d7 * nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users to
get rid of GC roots.  Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the
  current directory.  Previously, removing that symlink would not
  remove the store path being linked to as a GC root.  Now, the GC
  root created by nix-build is actually a symlink in
  `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto' to `result'.  So if that symlink is
  removed the GC root automatically becomes invalid (since it can no
  longer be resolved).  The root itself is not automatically removed -
  the garbage collector should delete dangling roots.
2005-02-01 13:48:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dcc37c236c * nix-store, nix-instantiate: added an option `--add-root' to
immediately add the result as a permanent GC root.  This is the only
  way to prevent a race with the garbage collector.  For instance, the
  old style

    ln -s $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate foo.nix)) \
      /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result

  has two time windows in which the garbage collector can interfere
  (by GC'ing the derivation and the output, respectively).  On the
  other hand,

    nix-store --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result -r \
      $(nix-instantiate --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/drv \
        foo.nix)

  is safe.

* nix-build: use `--add-root' to prevent GC races.
2005-02-01 12:36:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c505702265 * Fix and simplify the garbage collector (it's still not concurrent,
though).  In particular it's now much easier to register a GC root.
  Just place a symlink to whatever store path it is that you want to
  keep in /nix/var/nix/gcroots.
2005-01-27 15:21:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a24b78e9f1 * Maintain the references/referers relation also for derivations.
This simplifies garbage collection and `nix-store --query
  --requisites' since we no longer need to treat derivations
  specially.

* Better maintaining of the invariants, e.g., setReferences() can only
  be called on a valid/substitutable path.
2005-01-25 21:28:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2a2756b856 * Simplification: registerSubstitutes -> registerSubstitute. We no
longer need the former since there we no longer have the
  substitutes-rev table (which triggered a O(n^2) cost in updating
  them).
2005-01-25 20:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 066da4ab85 * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure
invariant by registering references through the manifest.
* Added a test for nix-pull.
2005-01-25 17:08:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 52bf9b86bb * In nix-store: added query `--referers-closure' that returns the
closure of the referers relation rather than the references
  relation, i.e., the set of all paths that directly or indirectly
  refer to the given path.  Note that contrary to the references
  closure this set is not fixed; it can change as paths are added to
  or removed from the store.
2005-01-25 11:18:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80faa2f98a * In nix-store: change --build' back to --realise'. Also brought
back the query flag `--force-realise'.
* Fixed some of the tests.
2005-01-25 10:55:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0f4e587c3 * Nix-store queries --references' and referers' to query the pointer
graph.  That is, `nix-store --query --references PATH' shows the set
  of paths referenced by PATH, and `nix-store --query --referers PATH'
  shows the set of paths referencing PATH.
2005-01-19 16:59:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96de272b48 * Renamed normalise.cc' -> build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
  they have been built/added.  This is so that we can check whether
  the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
  holds.
2005-01-19 16:39:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef5f254a55 * `nix-store --build' now builds its arguments in parallel instead of
sequentially (within the limits set by `--jobs').  This should
  greatly improve the utilisation of the build farm when doing Nixpkgs
  builds.
2005-01-19 15:02:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06c77bf7a8 * Change extension .store' to .drv'.
* Re-enable `nix-store --query --requisites'.
2005-01-19 14:36:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 863dcff6c5 * Started removing closure store expressions, i.e., the explicit
representation of closures as ATerms in the Nix store.  Instead, the
  file system pointer graph is now stored in the Nix database.  This
  has many advantages:

  - It greatly simplifies the implementation (we can drop the notion
    of `successors', and so on).

  - It makes registering roots for the garbage collector much easier.
    Instead of specifying the closure expression as a root, you can
    simply specify the store path that must be retained as a root.
    This could not be done previously, since there was no way to find
    the closure store expression containing a given store path.
    
  - Better traceability: it is now possible to query what paths are
    referenced by a path, and what paths refer to a path.
2005-01-19 11:16:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73992371a3 * Refactoring to support SHA-1. 2005-01-13 15:44:44 +00:00
