Eelco Dolstra f3584ff535 * Fix URL/description. 2007-03-21 12:39:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 803cb6e3b9 * Override the setuid helper using NIX_SETUID_HELPER. 2007-03-20 22:04:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a8ea4cbcc8 * Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel
modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected.  Idem
  for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
2007-03-20 11:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ab229ddf2 * Terminate build hooks and substitutes with a TERM signal, not a KILL
signal.  This is necessary because those processes may have joined
  the BDB environment, so they have to be given a chance to clean up.

2007-03-19 12:48:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b2b6cf3fc8 * Undocumented option `gc-check-reachability' to allow reachability
checking to be turned off on machines with way too many roots.
2007-03-19 09:16:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra eb2dd4815c * Remove old generations in all directories under
/nix/var/nix/profiles, not just in that directory itself.  (NixOS
  puts profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user.)
2007-03-13 11:30:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 917e06bf63 * Delete the output paths before invoking the build hook. 2007-03-07 15:53:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df0283ae86 * Get rid of those stupid --login tricks, it's the responsibility of
the remote system to make sure that Nix is in the $PATH.
2007-03-01 13:55:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 30394a4f3f * sh -> bash. 2007-03-01 13:49:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db1973d012 * Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call
openssl through $PATH at runtime.

Eelco Dolstra b4a040e52b * Don't check the signature unless we have to. 2007-03-01 12:30:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ea3bebc23 * Doh! The deriver can be empty. 2007-02-27 23:18:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 044b6482c1 * Greatly reduced the amount of stack space used by the Nix expression
evaluator.  This was important because the NixOS expressions started
  to hit 2 MB default stack size on Linux.

  GCC is really dumb about stack space: it just adds up all the local
  variables and temporaries of every scope into one huge stack frame.
  This is really bad for deeply recursive functions.  For instance,
  every `throw Error(format("error message"))' causes a format object
  of a few hundred bytes to be allocated on the stack.  As a result,
  every recursive call to evalExpr2() consumed 4680 bytes.  By
  splitting evalExpr2() and by moving the exception-throwing code out
  of the main functions, evalExpr2() now only consumes 40 bytes.
  Similar for evalExpr().

Eelco Dolstra adce01a8d0 * When NIX_SHOW_STATS=1, show the amount of stack space consumed by
the Nix expression evaluator.
2007-02-27 17:28:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 363e307fd3 * Error message to stdout. 2007-02-26 23:32:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ddde8e2f32 * Handle EINTR in select(). 2007-02-22 18:15:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 27bb0ac7d2 * /man -> /share/man 2007-02-22 17:00:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa2be32034 * nix-copy-closure: force a login shell on the remote machine to make
sure that nix-store is in the PATH.
* nix-copy-closure: option --gzip to compress data.
2007-02-22 16:42:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c5e6d1a2f * nix-copy-closure: option --sign.
* nix-copy-closure: set SSH options through NIX_SSHOPTS..
2007-02-22 15:48:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 024a8ed382 * New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on
another machine through ssh.  E.g.,

    $ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn)

  copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'.  This is like
  `nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more
  efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the
  target machine.

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 65f195f4c7 * Check that the file containing the secret key is secret. 2007-02-21 17:51:10 +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 dc7d594776 * importPath(): set the deriver.
* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21 16:23:25 +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 6c9fdb17fb * Don't use $SHELL. 2007-02-21 14:00:46 +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 3390c1be76 * Temporary notes on how we're going to use OpenSSL. 2007-02-20 22:57:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8181a1c3bb * Close the file - just in case. 2007-02-20 22:49:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46605fb4f5 * Fix 64-bit compiler warnings. 2007-02-06 20:03:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 52d03276dd * Compatibility with docbook5-xsl. 2007-02-05 12:10:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 451dbf687f * nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation
attribute) about installed packages in user environments.  Thus, an
  operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information
  not only on available packages but also on installed packages.

* nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix
  expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of
  paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has
  access to the meta attributes.
  
* New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of
  installed packages.  This will be useful to pass per-package
  policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve
  collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade
  policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that
  is, left untouched by upgrade actions).  Example:

  $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4
2007-02-02 01:52:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f52de527c7 * Doh! 2007-01-29 15:55:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b618fa6eb6 * computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when
computing the store path (NIX-77).  This is an important security
  property in multi-user Nix stores.

  Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the
  derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most
  outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).
2007-01-29 15:51:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c558b1583c * Don't capitalise the primop functions. 2007-01-29 15:15:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18e6096105 * Organise primops.cc a bit better. 2007-01-29 15:11:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7349bd0176 New primitives:
* `sub' to subtract two numbers.
* `stringLength' to get the length of a string.
* `substring' to get a substring of a string.  These should be enough
  to allow most string operations to be expressed.
2007-01-29 14:23:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7dedbd896a * filterSource: pass strings to the predicate function instead of
paths.  Paths can have unexpected semantics.
2007-01-29 13:32:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84a84afb0e * Nasty: Glibc clears the TMPDIR environment variable in setuid
programs, so if a builder uses TMPDIR, then it will fail when
  executed through nix-setuid-helper.  In fact Glibc clears a whole
  bunch of variables (see sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h in the Glibc
  sources), but only TMPDIR should matter in practice.  As a
  workaround, we reinitialise TMPDIR from NIX_BUILD_TOP.
2007-01-24 13:31:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fac63d6416 * exportReferencesGraph: work on paths within store paths as well. 2007-01-23 16:57:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bae75ca5a1 * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store
path can be created by copying it from another location in the file
  system.  This is useful in the NixOS installation.
2007-01-23 16:50:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 36d9258c0d * Successors have been gone for ages. 2007-01-23 16:05:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7bc30e1ca8 * nix-prefetch-url: change the default hash to SHA-256 (in base-32). 2007-01-22 09:53:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71ceb1c161 * Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression. 2007-01-15 14:50:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4b0666f8e * builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",
"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter
  predicate.
