This causes 'nix' to print build log output to stderr rather than
showing the last log line in the progress bar. Log lines are prefixed
by the name of the derivation (minus the version string), e.g.

The value of useChroot is not set yet in the constructor, resulting in
hash rewriting being enabled in certain cases where it should not be.
Fixes#2801
Sometimes, "expected" can be "0", but in fact means "unknown".
This is for example the case when downloading a file while the http
server doesn't send the `Content-Length` header, like when running `nix
build` pointing to a nixpkgs checkout streamed from GitHub:
⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello
[1.8/0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz'
In that case, don't show that weird progress bar, but only the (slowly
increasing) downloaded size ("done").
⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello
[1.8 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz'
This commit also updates fmt calls with three numbers (when something is
currently 'running' too) - I'm not sure if this can be provoked, but
showing "0" as expected doesn't make any sense, as we're obviously doing
more than nothing.
For text files it is possible to do it like so:
`builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)`
but that doesn't work for binary files.
With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed.
To determine which seccomp filters to install, we were incorrectly
using settings.thisSystem, which doesn't denote the actual system when
--system is used.
Fixes#2791.
Scanning of /proc/<pid>/{exe,cwd} was broken because '{memory:' was
prepended twice. Also, get rid of the whole '{memory:...}' thing
because it's unnecessary, we can just list the file in /proc directly.
This new structure makes more sense as there may be many sources rooting
the same store path. Many profiles can reference the same path but this
is even more true with /proc/<pid>/maps where distinct pids can and
often do map the same store path.
This implementation is also more efficient as the `Roots` map contains
only one entry per rooted store path.
It could happen that the local builder match the system but lacks some features.
Now it results a failure.
The fix gracefully excludes the local builder from the set of available builders for derivation which requires the feature, so the derivation is built on remote builders only (as though it has incompatible system, like ```aarch64-linux``` when local is x86)
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.
Fixes#2646.
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.
With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).
Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.
Previously, plain derivation paths in the string context (e.g. those
that arose from builtins.storePath on a drv file, not those that arose
from accessing .drvPath of a derivation) were treated somewhat like
derivaiton paths derived from .drvPath, except their dependencies
weren't recursively added to the input set. With this change, such
plain derivation paths are simply treated as paths and added to the
source inputs set accordingly, simplifying context handling code and
removing the inconsistency. If drvPath-like behavior is desired, the
.drv file can be imported and then .drvPath can be accessed.
This is a backwards-incompatibility, but storePath is never used on
drv files within nixpkgs and almost never used elsewhere.
Trying to fetch refs that are not in refs/heads currently fails because
it looks for refs/heads/refs/foo instead of refs/foo.
eg.
builtins.fetchGit {
url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
ref = "refs/pull/1024/head;
}
SRI hashes (https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) combine the hash algorithm and
a base-64 hash. This allows more concise and standard hash
specifications. For example, instead of
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
sha256 = "5d22dad058d5c800d65a115f919da22938c50dd6ba98c5e3a183172d149840a4";
};
you can write
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
hash = "sha256-XSLa0FjVyADWWhFfkZ2iKTjFDda6mMXjoYMXLRSYQKQ=";
};
In fixed-output derivations, the outputHashAlgo is no longer mandatory
if outputHash specifies the hash (either as an SRI or in the old
"<type>:<hash>" format).
'nix hash-{file,path}' now print hashes in SRI format by default. I
also reverted them to use SHA-256 by default because that's what we're
using most of the time in Nixpkgs.
Suggested by @zimbatm.
Use the same output ordering and format everywhere.
This is such a common issue that we trade the single-line error message for
more readability.
Old message:
```

```
New message:

Without this information the content addressable state and hashes are
lost after the first request, this causes signatures to be required for
everything even tho the path could be verified without signing.
This enables using for http for S3 request for debugging or
implementations that don't have https configured. This is not a problem
for binary caches since they should not contain sensitive information.
Both package signatures and AWS auth already protect against tampering.
The goal is to support libeditline AND libreadline and let the user
decide at compile time which one to use.
Add a compile time option to use libreadline instead of
libeditline. If compiled against libreadline completion functionality
is lost because of a incompatibility between libeditlines and
libreadlines completion function. Completion with libreadline is
possible and can be added later.
To use libreadline instead of libeditline the environment
variables 'EDITLINE_LIBS' and 'EDITLINE_CFLAGS' have to been set
during the ./configure step.
Example:
EDITLINE_LIBS="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhistory.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so"
EDITLINE_CFLAGS="-DREADLINE"
The reason for this change is that for example on Debian already three
different editline libraries exist but none of those is compatible the
flavor used by nix. My hope is that with this change it would be
easier to port nix to systems that have already libreadline available.
Previously, config would only be read from XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This change
allows reading config from additional directories, which enables e.g.
per-project binary caches or chroot stores with the help of direnv.
The use of TransferManager has several issues, including that it
doesn't allow setting a Content-Encoding without a patch, and it
doesn't handle exceptions in worker threads (causing termination on
memory allocation failure).
Fixes#2493.
This commit partially reverts 48662d151b. When
copying from an older store (in my case a store running Nix 1.11.7), nix would
throw errors about there being no hash. This is fixed by recalculating the hash.
In structured-attributes derivations, you can now specify per-output
checks such as:
outputChecks."out" = {
# The closure of 'out' must not be larger than 256 MiB.
maxClosureSize = 256 * 1024 * 1024;
# It must not refer to C compiler or to the 'dev' output.
disallowedRequisites = [ stdenv.cc "dev" ];
};
outputChecks."dev" = {
# The 'dev' output must not be larger than 128 KiB.
maxSize = 128 * 1024;
};
Also fixed a bug in allowedRequisites that caused it to ignore
self-references.
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.
[1] http://graphml.graphdrawing.org
Since its superclass RemoteStore::Connection contains 'to' and 'from'
fields that refer to the file descriptor maintained in the subclass,
it was possible for the flush() call in Connection::~Connection() to
write to a closed file descriptor (or worse, a file descriptor now
referencing another file). So make sure that the file descriptor
survives 'to' and 'from'.
This is primarily because Derivation::{can,will}BuildLocally() depends
on attributes like preferLocalBuild and requiredSystemFeatures, but it
can't handle them properly because it doesn't have access to the
structured attributes.
E.g. __noChroot and allowedReferences now work correctly. We also now
check that the attribute type is correct. For instance, instead of
allowedReferences = "out";
you have to write
allowedReferences = [ "out" ];
Fixes#2453.
This meant that making a typo in an s3:// URI would cause a bucket to
be created. Also it didn't handle eventual consistency very well. Now
it's up to the user to create the bucket.
Tools which re-exec `$SHELL` or `$0` or `basename $SHELL` or even just
`bash` will otherwise get the non-interactive bash, providing a
broken shell for the same reasons described in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.

Calculating roots seems significantly slower on darwin compared to
linux. Checking for /profile/ links could show some false positives but
should still catch most issues.
* Don't wait forever for the client to remove data from the
buffer. This does mean that the buffer can grow without bounds
(e.g. when downloading is faster than writing to disk), but meh.
* Don't hold the state lock while calling the sink. The sink could
take any amount of time to process the data (in particular when it's
actually a coroutine), so we don't want to block the download
thread.
In particular this causes copyStorePath() from HttpBinaryCacheStore to
only start a download if needed. E.g. if the destination LocalStore
goes to sleep waiting for the path lock and another process creates
the path, then LocalStore::addToStore() will never read from the
source so we don't have to do the download.
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as,
including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can
avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on
macOS is as simple as:
$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ sudo nix-env -u
$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
or
$ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
It's pretty easy to unintentionally install a second version of nix
into the user profile when using a daemon install. In this case it
looks like nix was upgraded while the nix-daemon is probably still
unning an older version.
A protocol mismatch can sometimes cause problems when using specific
features with an older daemon. For example:
Nix 2.0 changed the way files are compied to the store. The daemon is
backwards compatible and can still handle older clients, however a 1.11
nix-daemon isn't forwards compatible.
This is already done by coerceToString(), provided that the argument
is a path (e.g. 'fetchGit ./bla'). It fixes the handling of URLs like
git@github.com:owner/repo.git. It breaks 'fetchGit "./bla"', but that
was never intended to work anyway and is inconsistent with other
builtin functions (e.g. 'readFile "./bla"' fails).
E.g.
$ nix upgrade-nix
error: directory '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/bin' does not appear to be part of a Nix profile
instead of
$ nix upgrade-nix
error: '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst' is not a symlink
Fix a 32-bit overflow that resulted in negative numbers being printed;
use fmt() instead of boost::format(); change -H to -h for consistency
with 'ls' and 'du'; make the columns narrower (since they can't be
bigger than 1024.0).
If the user has an object greater than 1024 yottabytes, it'll just display it as
N yottabytes instead of overflowing.
Swaps to use boost::format strings instead of std::setw and std::setprecision.
Using a 64bit integer on 32bit systems will come with a bit of a
performance overhead, but given that Nix doesn't use a lot of integers
compared to other types, I think the overhead is negligible also
considering that 32bit systems are in decline.
The biggest advantage however is that when we use a consistent integer
size across all platforms it's less likely that we miss things that we
break due to that. One example would be:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44233
On Hydra it will evaluate, because the evaluator runs on a 64bit
machine, but when evaluating the same on a 32bit machine it will fail,
so using 64bit integers should make that consistent.
While the change of the type in value.hh is rather easy to do, we have a
few more options available for doing the conversion in the lexer:
* Via an #ifdef on the architecture and using strtol() or strtoll()
accordingly depending on which architecture we are. For the #ifdef
we would need another AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF in configure.ac.
* Using istringstream, which would involve copying the value.
* As we're already using boost, lexical_cast might be a good idea.
Spoiler: I went for the latter, first of all because lexical_cast does
have an overload for const char* and second of all, because it doesn't
involve copying around the input string. Also, because istringstream
seems to come with a bigger overhead than boost::lexical_cast:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/boost_lexical_cast/performance.html
The first method (still using strtol/strtoll) also wasn't something I
pursued further, because it is also locale-aware which I doubt is what
we want, given that the regex for int is [0-9]+.

Fixes: #2339
The profile present in PATH is not necessarily the actual profile
location. User profiles are generally added as $HOME/.nix-profile
in which case the indirect profile link needs to be resolved first.
/home/user/.nix-profile -> /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile -> profile-15-link
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-14-link -> /nix/store/hyi4kkjh3bwi2z3wfljrkfymz9904h62-user-environment
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-15-link -> /nix/store/6njpl3qvihz46vj911pwx7hfcvwhifl9-user-environment
To upgrade nix here we want /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-16-link
instead of /home/user/.nix-profile-1-link. The latter is not a gcroot
and would be garbage collected, resulting in a broken profile.
Fixes#2175
The current usage technically works by putting multiple different
repos in to the same git directory. However, it is very slow as
Git tries very hard to find common commits between the two
repositories. If the two repositories are large (like Nixpkgs and
another long-running project,) it is maddeningly slow.
This change busts the cache for existing deployments, but users
will be promptly repaid in per-repository performance.
TransferManager allocates a lot of memory (50 MiB by default), and it
might leak but I'm not sure about that. In any case it was causing
OOMs in hydra-queue-runner. So allocate only one TransferManager per
S3BinaryCacheStore.
Hopefully fixes https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/586.
This callback is executed on a different thread, so exceptions thrown
from the callback are not caught:
Aug 08 16:25:48 chef hydra-queue-runner[11967]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::Error'
Aug 08 16:25:48 chef hydra-queue-runner[11967]: what(): AWS error: failed to upload 's3://nix-cache/19dbddlfb0vp68g68y19p9fswrgl0bg7.ls'
Therefore, just check the transfer status after it completes. Also
include the S3 error message in the exception.
This didn't work anymore since decompression was only done in the
non-coroutine case.
Decompressors are now sinks, just like compressors.
Also fixed a bug in bzip2 API handling (we have to handle BZ_RUN_OK
rather than BZ_OK), which we didn't notice because there was a missing
'throw':
if (ret != BZ_OK)
CompressionError("error while compressing bzip2 file");
It adds a new operation, cmdAddToStoreNar, that does the same thing as
the corresponding nix-daemon operation, i.e. call addToStore(). This
replaces cmdImportPaths, which has the major issue that it sends the
NAR first and the store path second, thus requiring us to store the
incoming NAR either in memory or on disk until we decide what to do
with it.
For example, this reduces the memory usage of
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' /nix/store/95cwv4q54dc6giaqv6q6p4r02ia2km35-blender-2.79
from 267 MiB to 12 MiB.
Probably fixes#1988.
In EvalState::checkSourcePath, the path is checked against the list of
allowed paths first and later it's checked again *after* resolving
symlinks.
The resolving of the symlinks is done via canonPath, which also strips
out "../" and "./". However after the canonicalisation the error message
pointing out that the path is not allowed prints the symlink target in
the error message.
Even if we'd suppress the message, symlink targets could still be leaked
if the symlink target doesn't exist (in this case the error is thrown in
canonPath).
So instead, we now do canonPath() without symlink resolving first before
even checking against the list of allowed paths and then later do the
symlink resolving and checking the allowed paths again.
The first call to canonPath() should get rid of all the "../" and "./",
so in theory the only way to leak a symlink if the attacker is able to
put a symlink in one of the paths allowed by restricted evaluation mode.
For the latter I don't think this is part of the threat model, because
if the attacker can write to that path, the attack vector is even
larger.

This particular `shell` variable wasn't used, since a new one was
declared in the only side of the `if` branch that used a `shell`
variable.
It could realistically confuse developers thinking it could use `$SHELL`
under some situations.
forceValue() were called after a value is copied effectively forcing only one of the copies keeping another copy not evaluated.
This resulted in its evaluation of the same lazy value more than once (the number of hits is not big though)
Not ready for this yet, causes the prompt to disappear in nix repl

Fixes#1400.
For example, this allows you to do run nix-daemon as a non-privileged
user:
eelco$ NIX_STATE_DIR=~/my-nix/nix/var nix-daemon --store ~/my-nix/
The NIX_STATE_DIR is still needed because settings.nixDaemonSocketFile
is not derived from settings.storeUri (and we can't derive it from the
store's state directory because we don't want to open the store in the
parent process).
As proposed in #1634 the `nix search` command could use some
improvements. Initially 0413aeb35d added
some basic sorting behavior using `std::map`, a next step would be an
improvement of the output.
This patch includes the following changes:
* Use `$PAGER` for outputs with `RunPager` from `shared.hh`:
The same behavior is defined for `nix-env --query`, furthermore it
makes searching huge results way easier.
* Simplified result blocks:
The new output is heavily inspired by the output from `nox`, the first
line shows the attribute path and the derivaiton name
(`attribute path (derivation name)`) and the description in the second
line.
Slightly nicer behavior when updates are somewhat far apart
(during a long linking step, perhaps) ensuring things
don't appear unresponsive.
If we wait the maximum amount for the update,
don't bother waiting another 50ms (for rate-limiting purposes)
and just check if we should quit.
This also ensures we'll notice the request to quit within 1s
if quit is signalled but there is not an udpate.
(I'm not sure if this happens or not)
I hate to make this such a large check but the lack of documentation means we really have no idea what's allowed. All of them reported so far have been within ".app/Contents" directories. That appears to be a safe starting point. However, I would not be surprised to also find more paths that are disallowed for instance in .framework or .bundle directories.
Fixes#2031Fixes#2229
This makes 'nix copy' and 'nix path-info' work on .drv store
paths. Removing special treatment of .drv files seems the most
future-proof approach given the possible removal of .drv files in the
future.
Note that 'nix build' will still build (rather than substitute) .drv
paths due to the unfortunate overloading in Store::buildPaths().
EvalState contains a few counters (e.g. nrValues) that increase
quickly enough that they end up being interpreted as pointers by the
garbage collector. Moving it to the heap makes them invisible to the
garbage collector.
This reduces the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath from 455 MiB to 292 MiB.
Note: ideally, allocations would be much further up in the 64-bit
address space to reduce the odds of an integer being misinterpreted as
a pointer. Maybe we can use some linker magic to move the .bss segment
to a higher address.
This reduces the risk of object liveness misdetection. For example,
Glibc has an internal variable "mp_" that often points to a Boehm
object, keeping it alive unnecessarily. Since we don't store any
actual roots in global variables, we can just disable data segment
scanning.
With this, the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath went from 718 MiB to 455 MiB.
If a process disappears between the time /proc/[pid]/maps is opened and
the time it is read, the read() syscall will return ESRCH. This should be ignored.
In some versions/configurations libcurl doesn't handle timeouts
(especially DNS timeouts) in a way that wakes curl_multi_wait.
This doesn't appear to be a problem if using c-ares, FWIW.

from 514 MiB to 18 MiB for an uncompressed binary cache, and from 192
MiB to 53 MiB for a bzipped binary cache. It may also be faster
because fetching can happen concurrently with decompression/writing.

classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files

from 264 MiB to 7 MiB.

E.g. this makes
nix eval --restrict-eval -I /nix/store/foo '(builtins.readFile "/nix/store/foo/symlink/bla")'
(where /nix/store/foo/symlink is a symlink to another path in the
closure of /nix/store/foo) succeed.
This fixes a regression in Hydra compared to Nix 1.x (where there were
no restrictions at all on access to the Nix store).
The existing ordering linked `libutil` before `libstore`, which causes
link failures when building statically. This is due to `libstore` using
functions from `libutil`, and the fact that symbol resolution works
"forward" - i.e. if you pass `-lfoo -lbar -lbaz`, any symbols that
`libbar` uses from `libbaz` will be resolved, but symbols from `libfoo`
will not since it comes first in the command line.
All this to say: this commit reorders the libraries which fixes the link
errors.

The common use case is to search for packages containing multiple words

copyStorePath() now pipes the output of srcStore->narFromPath()
directly into dstStore->addToStore(). The sink used by the former is
converted into a source usable by the latter using
boost::coroutine2. This is based on [1].
This reduces the maximum resident size of
$ nix build --store ~/my-nix/ /nix/store/b0zlxla7dmy1iwc3g459rjznx59797xy-binutils-2.28.1 --substituters file:///tmp/binary-cache-xz/ --no-require-sigs
from 418592 KiB to 53416 KiB. (The previous commit also reduced the
runtime from ~4.2s to ~3.4s, not sure why.) A further improvement will
be to download files into a Sink.

Issue #1969.
It was holding on to a Value* (i.e. a std::shared_ptr<ValidPathInfo>*)
outside of the pathInfoCache lock, so the std::shared_ptr could be
destroyed between the release of the lock and the decrement of the
std::shared_ptr refcount. This can happen if more than
'path-info-cache-size' paths are added in the meantime, *or* if
clearPathInfoCache() is called. The hydra-queue-runner queue monitor
thread periodically calls the later, so is likely to trigger a crash.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/542.
Doing so prevents emacs tags from working, as well as makes the code extremely
confusing for a newbie.
In the prior state, if someone wants to find the definition of "ExprApp" for
example, a grep through the code reveals nothing. Since the definition could be
hiding in numerous ".h" files, it's really difficult to find. This personally
took me several hours to figure out.
This can be iterated on and currently leaves out settings we know we
want to forward, but it fixes#1713 and fixes#1935 and isn't
fundamentally broken like the status quo. Future changes are suggested
in a comment.
Flex's regexes have an annoying feature: the dot matches everything
except a newline. This causes problems for expressions like:
"${0}\
"
where the backslash-newline combination matches this rule instead of the
intended one mentioned in the comment:
<STRING>\$|\\|\$\\ {
/* This can only occur when we reach EOF, otherwise the above
(...|\$[^\{\"\\]|\\.|\$\\.)+ would have triggered.
This is technically invalid, but we leave the problem to the
parser who fails with exact location. */
return STR;
}
However, the parser actually accepts the resulting token sequence
('"' DOLLAR_CURLY 0 '}' STR '"'), which is a problem because the lexer
rule didn't assign anything to yylval. Ultimately this leads to a crash
when dereferencing a NULL pointer in ExprConcatStrings::bindVars().
The fix does change the syntax of the language in some corner cases
but I think it's only turning previously invalid (or crashing) syntax
to valid syntax. E.g.
"a\
b"
and
''a''\
b''
were previously syntax errors but now both result in "a\nb".

This allows building armv[67]l-linux derivations on compatible aarch64
machines. Failure to add the architecture may result from missing
hardware support, in which case we can't run 32-bit binaries and don't
need to restrict them with seccomp anyway,
This allows specifying additional systems that a machine is able to
build for. This may apply on some armv7-capable aarch64 processors, or
on systems using qemu-user with binfmt-misc to support transparent
execution of foreign-arch programs.
This removes the previous hard-coded assumptions about which systems are
ABI-compatible with which other systems, and instead relies on the user
to specify any additional platforms that they have ensured compatibility
for and wish to build for locally.
NixOS should probably add i686-linux on x86_64-linux systems for this
setting by default.
Otherwise, running e.g.
nix-instantiate --eval -E --strict 'builtins.replaceStrings [""] ["X"] "abc"'
would just hang in an infinite loop.
Found by afl-fuzz.
First attempt of this was reverted in e2d71bd186 because it caused
another infinite loop, which is fixed now and a test added.
This is important since this is given as an example.
Other patterns containing "empty search string" will still
be handled differently on different platforms ("asdf|")
but that's less of an issue.
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.
Issue #179.
The assertion is broken because there is no one-to-one mapping from
length of a base64 string to the length of the output.
E.g.
"1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9q=" results in a 32-byte output.
"1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9qy" results in a 33-byte output.
To reproduce, evaluate:
builtins.derivationStrict {
name = "0";
builder = "0";
system = "0";
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHash = "1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9qy";
}

Instead of having lexicographicOrder() create a temporary sorted array
of Attr*:s and copying attr names from that, copy the attr names
first and then sort that.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:
nix-env --help
The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".
To test this, I’m using the following:
$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help
Fixes#1627
nix-store --export, nix-store --dump, and nix dump-path would previously
fail silently if writing the data out failed, because
a) FdSink::write ignored exceptions, and
b) the commands relied on FdSink's destructor, which ignores
exceptions, to flush the data out.
This could cause rather opaque issues with installing nixos, because
nix-store --export would happily proceed even if it couldn't write its
data out (e.g. if nix-store --import on the other side of the pipe
failed).
This commit adds tests that expose these issues in the nix-store
commands, and fixes them for all three.
This was caused by derivations with 'allowSubstitutes = false'. Such
derivations will be built locally. However, if there is another
SubstitionGoal that has the output of the first derivation in its
closure, then the path will be simultaneously built and substituted.
There was a check to catch this situation (via pathIsLockedByMe()),
but it no longer worked reliably because substitutions are now done in
another thread. (Thus the comment 'It can't happen between here and
the lockPaths() call below because we're not allowing multi-threading'
was no longer valid.)
The fix is to handle the path already being locked in both
SubstitutionGoal and DerivationGoal.
All ANSI sequences except color setting are now filtered out. In
particular, terminal resets (such as from NixOS VM tests) are filtered
out.
Also, fix the completely broken tab character handling.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
the case of hydra where the overhead of single threaded encoding is more
noticeable e.g most of the time spent in "Sending inputs"/"Receiving outputs"
is due to compression while the actual upload to the binary cache seems
to be negligible.
This is needed by nixos-install, which uses the Nix store on the
installation CD as a substituter. We don't want to disable signature
checking entirely because substitutes from cache.nixos.org should
still be checked. So now we can pas "local?trusted=1" to mark only the
Nix store in /nix as not requiring signatures.
Fixes#1819.
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.
It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change
from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more
sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).
Some servers, such as Artifactory, allow uploading with PUT and BASIC
auth. This allows nix copy to work to upload binaries to those
servers.
Worked on together with @adelbertc
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:
* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
error.
* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.
* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.
* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.
* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
not allowed.
Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.
nix build --pure-eval '(
let
nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
)'
The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like
nix build --pure-eval '(
(import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
')
where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
If neither are found, current runtime behavior
is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
Testing shows negligible performance impact.
(Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)
E.g.
$ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nars \
/nix/store/b0w2hafndl09h64fhb86kw6bmhbmnpm1-blender-2.79/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/blender.svg > /dev/null

(Before, the second call took ~0.220s.)
This will use a NAR listing in
/tmp/nars/b0w2hafndl09h64fhb86kw6bmhbmnpm1.ls containing all metadata,
including the offsets of regular files inside the NAR. Thus, we don't
need to read the entire NAR. (We do read the entire listing, but
that's generally pretty small. We could use a SQLite DB by borrowing
some more code from nixos-channel-scripts/file-cache.hh.)
This is primarily useful when Hydra is serving files from an S3 binary
cache, in particular when you have giant NARs. E.g. we had some 12 GiB
NARs, so accessing individuals files was pretty slow.
propagated-user-env-packages files in nixpkgs aren't all terminated by
newlines, as buildenv expected. Now it does not require a terminating
newline; note that this introduces a behaviour change: propagated user
env packages may now be spread across multiple lines. However, nix
1.11.x still expects them to be on a single line so this shouldn't be
used in nixpkgs for now.
The storeUri variable in the build-remote hook is declared very much to
the start of the main function and a bunch of lines later, the same
variable gets checked via hasPrefix() but it gets assigned *after* that
check when the most suitable machine for the build was choosen.
So I guess this was just a typo in d16fd24973
and what we really want is to either checkd the prefix *after* assigning
storeUri or use bestMachine->storeUri directly.
I choose the latter, because the former could introduce even more
regressions if the try block where the variable gets assigned terminates
early.
Nevertheless, the reason why the log output didn't work is because
hasPrefix() checked for "ssh://" in front of storeUri, but if the
storeUri isn't set correctly (or at all), we don't get the log file
descriptor set up properly, leading to no log output.
I've adjusted the remote-builds test to include a regression test for
this, so that we can make sure we get a build output when using remote
builds.
In addition to that I've tested this with two of my build farms and the
build logs are emitted correctly again.

The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution
from binary caches, but when adding/copying any
(non-content-addressed) path to a store.
This allows specifying the AWS configuration profile to use. E.g.
nix copy --from s3://my-cache?profile=aws-dev-account /nix/store/cf3isrlqavvd5w7rpky1fa8j9lcnlggm-...
As far as we're concerned, not being able to access a file just means
the file is missing. Plus, AWS explicitly goes out of its way to
return a 403 if the file is missing and the requester doesn't have
permission to list the bucket.
Also getting rid of an old hack that Eelco said was only relevant
to an older AWS SDK.
For example, you can write
src = fetchgit ./.;
and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".
This will allow bind and connect to 127.0.0.1, which can reduce purity/
security (if you're running a vulnerable service on localhost) but is
also needed for a ton of test suites, so I'm leaving it turned off by
default but allowing certain derivations to turn it on as needed.
It also allows DNS resolution of arbitrary hostnames but I haven't found
a way to avoid that. In principle I'd just want to allow resolving
localhost but that doesn't seem to be possible.
I don't think this belongs under `build-use-sandbox = relaxed` because we
want it on Hydra and I don't think it's the end of the world.
Used to determine symlink size with stat and value with readlink.
This could technically result in garbage if symlink changed between
calls. Also gets around the broken stat implementation in our
network filesystem (returns size + 1 giving a byte of garbage).
The computation of urlHash didn't take the name into account, so
subsequent fetchurl calls with the same URL but a different name would
resolve to the same cached store path.
The "name" attribute defaults to "source", which we should use for all
similar functions (e.g. fetchTarball and in Hydra) to ensure that we
get a consistent store path regardless of how the tree is fetched.
"source" is not necessarily a correct label, but using an empty name
is problematic: you get an ugly store path ending in a dash, and it's
impossible to have a fixed-output derivation that produces that path
because ".drv" is not a valid store name.
Fixes#904.
You can now include files via the "builders" option, using the syntax
"@<filename>". Having only one option makes it easier to override
builders completely.
For backward compatibility, the default is "@/etc/nix/machines", or
"@<filename>" for each file name in NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS.
This makes it slightly more manageable to see at a glance what in a
build's sandbox profile is unique to the build and what is standard. Also
a first step to factoring more of our Darwin logic into scheme functions
that will allow us a bit more flexibility. And of course less of that
nasty codegen in C++! 😀
This speeds up commands like "nix cat-store". For example:
$ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf

The primary motivation is to allow hydra-server to serve files from S3
binary caches. Previously Hydra had a hack to do "nix-store -r
<path>", but that fetches the entire closure so is prohibitively
expensive.
There is no garbage collection of the NAR cache yet. Also, the entire
NAR is read when accessing a single member file. We could generate the
NAR listing to provide random access.
Note: the NAR cache is indexed by the store path hash, not the content
hash, so NAR caches should not be shared between binary caches, unless
you're sure that all your builds are binary-reproducible.
Probably as a result of a bad merge in
4b8f1b0ec0, we had both a
BinaryCacheStoreAccessor and a
RemoteFSAccessor. BinaryCacheStore::getFSAccessor() returned the
latter, but BinaryCacheStore::addToStore() checked for the
former. This probably caused hydra-queue-runner to download paths that
it just uploaded.
This check spuriously fails for e.g. git@github.com:NixOS/nixpkgs.git,
and even for ssh://git@github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git, and is made
redundant by the checks git itself will do when fetching the repo. We
instead pass a -- before passing the URI to git to avoid injection.
I needed this to test ACL/xattr removal in
canonicalisePathMetaData(). Might also be useful if you need to build
old Nixpkgs that doesn't have the required patches to remove
setuid/setgid creation.
The worker threads could exit prematurely if they finished processing
all items while the main thread was still adding items. In particular,
this caused hanging nix-store --serve processes in the build farm.
Also, process items from the main thread.
It was getting too much like whac-a-mole listing all the retriable error
conditions, so we now retry by default and list the cases where retrying
is almost certainly hopeless.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In particular, process() won't return as long as there are active
items. This prevents work item lambdas from referring to stack frames
that no longer exist.
Since we may use a dedicated file descriptor in the future, this
allows us to change it. So builders can do
if [[ -n $NIX_LOG_FD ]]; then
echo "@nix { message... }" >&$NIX_LOG_FD
fi
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").
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.
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.
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say
nix build --no-sandbox
instead of
nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
This is useful for testing commands in isolation.
For example,
$ nix run nixpkgs.geeqie -i -k DISPLAY -k XAUTHORITY -c geeqie
runs geeqie in an empty environment, except for $DISPLAY and
$XAUTHORITY.
E.g.
nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo
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.
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().
Now that we use threads in lots of places, it's possible for
TunnelLogger::log() to be called asynchronously from other threads
than the main loop. So we need to ensure that STDERR_NEXT messages
don't clobber other messages.
Besides being unused, this function has a bug that it will incorrectly
decode the path component Ubuntu\04016.04.2\040LTS\040amd64 as
"Ubuntu.04.2 LTS amd64" instead of "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64".
This adds an argument "rev" specififying the Git commit hash. The
existing argument "rev" is renamed to "ref". The default value for
"ref" is "master". When specifying a hash, it's necessary to specify a
ref since we're not cloning the entire repository but only fetching a
specific ref.
Example usage:
builtins.fetchgit {
url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
ref = "release-16.03";
rev = "c1c0484041ab6f9c6858c8ade80a8477c9ae4442";
};
The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):
First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System

Second run: (package search cache populated)
$ time nix search blender

In particular, don't use base-64, which we don't support. (We do have
base-32 redirects for hysterical reasons.)
Also, add a test for the hashed mirror feature.
This doesn't work in read-only mode, ensuring that operations like
nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org -S nixpkgs.hello
(asking for the closure size of nixpkgs.hello in cache.nixos.org) work
when nixpkgs.hello doesn't exist in the local store.
On second though this was annoying. E.g. "nix log nixpkgs.hello" would
build/download Hello first, even though the log can be fetched
directly from the binary cache.
May need to revisit this.
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously
possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by
default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally,
any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder
itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this
ability for certain tests.
Example:
$ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges

Fixes#1429.
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
Cygwin sqlite3 is patched to call SetDllDirectory("/usr/bin") on init, which
affects the current process and is inherited by child processes. It causes
DLLs to be loaded from /usr/bin/ before $PATH, which breaks all sorts of
things. A typical failures would be header/lib version mismatches (e.g.
openssl when running checkPhase on openssh). We'll just set it back to the
default value.
Note that this is a problem with the cygwin version of sqlite3 (currently
3.18.0). nixpkgs doesn't have the problematic patch.
There's no reason to restrict this to Error exceptions. This shouldn't
matter to #1407 since the repl doesn't catch non-Error exceptions
anyway, but you never know...
Recently aws-sdk-cpp quietly switched to using S3 virtual host URIs
(https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/commit/69d9c53882), i.e. it sends
requests to http://<bucket>.<region>.s3.amazonaws.com rather than
http://<region>.s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>. However this interacts
badly with curl connection reuse. For example, if we do the following:
1) Check whether a bucket exists using GetBucketLocation.
2) If it doesn't, create it using CreateBucket.
3) Do operations on the bucket.
then 3) will fail for a minute or so with a NoSuchBucket exception,
presumably because the server being hit is a fallback for cases when
buckets don't exist.
Disabling the use of virtual hosts ensures that 3) succeeds
immediately. (I don't know what S3's consistency guarantees are for
bucket creation, but in practice buckets appear to be available
immediately.)
Newer versions of aws-sdk-cpp call CalculateDelayBeforeNextRetry()
even for non-retriable errors (like NoSuchKey) whih causes log spam in
hydra-queue-runner.
Sandboxes cannot be nested, so if Nix's build runs inside a sandbox,
it cannot use a sandbox itself. I don't see a clean way to detect
whether we're in a sandbox, so use a test-specific hack.

In particular, UF_IMMUTABLE (uchg) needs to be cleared to allow the
path to be garbage-collected or optimised.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25819.
+ the file from being garbage-collected.
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So
--option http-connections 100
becomes
--http-connections 100
Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.
Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.
--option auto-optimise-store false
becomes
--no-auto-optimise-store
Even with "build-use-sandbox = false", we now use sandboxing with a
permissive profile that allows everything except the creation of
setuid/setgid binaries.
Also, add rules to allow fixed-output derivations to access the
network.
These rules are sufficient to build stdenvDarwin without any
__sandboxProfile magic.
The filename used was not unique and owned by the build user, so
builds could fail with
error: while setting up the build environment: cannot unlink ‘/nix/store/99i210ihnsjacajaw8r33fmgjvzpg6nr-bison-3.0.4.drv.sb’: Permission denied
runResolver() was barfing on directories like
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/Current/PlugIns. It
should probably do something sophisticated for frameworks, but let's
ignore them for now.
This fixes
error: getting attributes of path ‘Versions/Current/CoreFoundation’: No such file or directory
when /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation is a symlink.
Also fixes a segfault when encounting a file that is not a MACH binary (such
as /dev/null, which is included in __impureHostDeps in Nixpkgs).
Possibly fixes#786.

src/libstore/build.cc:2321:45: error: non-constant-expression cannot be narrowed from type 'int' to 'scmp_datum_t' (aka 'unsigned long') in initializer list [-Wc++11-narrowing]
EAs/ACLs are not part of the NAR canonicalisation. Worse, setting an
ACL allows a builder to create writable files in the Nix store. So get
rid of them.
Closes#185.
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.
This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).

client# error: size mismatch importing path ‘/nix/store/ywf5fihjlxwijm6ygh6s0a353b5yvq4d-libidn2-0.16’; expected 0, got 120264
This is mostly an artifact of the NixOS VM test environment, where the
Nix database doesn't contain hashes/sizes.

And add a 116 KiB ash shell from busybox to the release build. This
helps to make sandbox builds work out of the box on non-NixOS systems
and with diverted stores.
This is useful when we're using a diverted store (e.g. "--store
local?root=/tmp/nix") in conjunction with a statically-linked sh from
the host store (e.g. "sandbox-paths =/bin/sh=/nix/store/.../bin/busybox").
Previously, if a directory `foo` existed and a file `foo-` (where `-` is any character that is sorted before `/`), then `readDirectory` would return an empty list.
To fix this, we now use a tree where we can just access the children of the node, and do not need to rely on sorting behavior to list the contents of a directory.
