Eelco Dolstra 7718b19389 * Explicitly set PWD to prevent problems with chroot builds. In
particular, dietlibc cannot figure out the cwd because the inode of
  the current directory doesn't appear in .. (because getdents returns
  the inode of the mount point).
2008-08-27 17:20:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9cc0da8453 * Create a /tmp with 1777 permission in the chroot. Some builders
need a writable /tmp (they don't respect $TMPDIR).
2008-08-27 16:03:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d06be428f6 * Disable chroot builds for fixed-output derivations so that we don't
need /etc in the chroot (in particular, /etc/resolv.conf for
  fetchurl).  Not having /etc/resolv.conf in the chroot is a good
  thing, since we don't want normal derivations to download files.
2008-08-25 15:49:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5adbb0aabe * build.cc: only use a substituter if it returns info for a path. 2008-08-04 13:15:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3c92ea399d * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again.  (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
  didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
  paths.)  This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
  are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
  stdin/stdout.
2008-08-02 12:54:35 +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 30c9f909b2 * Print some progress info during the early GC stages. 2008-06-13 17:21:20 +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 329025253d * Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of
/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories.  This
  increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path
  in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.
2008-03-27 13:45:17 +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.

Michael Raskin 5eb5c23447 Fixed exportBuildReferenceGraph 2008-01-15 04:32:08 +00:00
Michael Raskin 2196cb67c5 Added a way to include derivation with its outputs and dependencies - exportBuildReferenceGraph 2007-12-30 09:30:56 +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).

Eelco Dolstra 42d80d1170 * On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h. 2007-10-29 10:03:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d91cd30563 * Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available. 2007-10-27 16:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc6f373842 * Delete the chroot directory automatically.
* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27 16:06:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9397cd30c8 * Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is
executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary
  build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories
  (/dev and /proc by default).  This allows a bit more purity
  enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as
  /usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible.  As an added
  benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented
  as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in
  the chroot).

  However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that
  many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of
  additional directories.  (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as
  well...)

Eelco Dolstra cb1c1004cd * When there are multiple substituters, make sure to release the
lock on the output path after trying each.  Otherwise the
  pathIsLockedByMe() test gets confused.
2007-08-28 16:22:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c970b28ba0 * Fix a race condition with parallel builds where multiple
fixed-output derivations or substitutions try to build the same
  store path at the same time.  Locking generally catches this, but
  not between multiple goals in the same process.  This happened
  especially often (actually, only) in the build farm with fetchurl
  downloads of the same file being executed on multiple machines and
  then copied back to the main machine where they would clobber each
  other (NIXBF-13).

  Solution: if a goal notices that the output path is already locked,
  then go to sleep until another goal finishes (hopefully the one
  locking the path) and try again.
2007-08-28 11:36:17 +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 cbfac2fdcc * Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB
environment cleanly even when an exception is thrown from a
  destructor.  We still crash, but we don't take all other Nix
  processes with us.
2007-05-01 15:16:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 803cb6e3b9 * Override the setuid helper using NIX_SETUID_HELPER. 2007-03-20 22:04:25 +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.
  (NIX-85)
2007-03-19 12:48:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 917e06bf63 * Delete the output paths before invoking the build hook. 2007-03-07 15:53:11 +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 fac63d6416 * exportReferencesGraph: work on paths within store paths as well. 2007-01-23 16:57:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12 23:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5f681988f2 * Use deletePathWrapped() in more places. 2006-12-09 00:26:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa33303146 * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handled
very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the
  `children' map.
2006-12-08 18:41:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06c4929958 * Some refactoring.
* Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors.  This
  matters when --keep-going is turned on.  (A BuildError is caught
  and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the
  program.)
2006-12-08 17:26:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.
2006-12-08 15:44:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3fe6ab024 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even
in case of failure.
2006-12-08 00:19:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096194ab29 * Remove ancient terminology. 2006-12-07 23:58:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6833e8bbe8 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner
back to the Nix account.
2006-12-07 23:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2819eb36a4 * Be less verbose. 2006-12-07 21:43:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process,
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.
2006-12-07 17:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's
processes before and after the build.
2006-12-07 16:33:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its
ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the
ownership of the build result after the build.
2006-12-07 15:18:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before
deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the
builder under the desired build user.
2006-12-07 00:42:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.
2006-12-06 20:00:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid()
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
