Eelco Dolstra 80e722278c * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder.  Only the
  latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-30 14:53:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 766f708418 * Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.

    requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];

  We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
  support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support.  Probably
  this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-27 13:18:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e437b08250 * Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting
the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build
  (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering
  those queries until it accepts a build.  So if there are N
  derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.
2010-08-25 20:44:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f58f51f380 * Handle the unlikely case where a derivation has no dependencies at
all.
2010-08-24 11:45:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 587dc8aa00 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-08-04 17:48:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
  "preferLocalBuild" to true.  This has a few use cases:

  - The user environment builder.  Since it just creates a bunch of
    symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
    remotely.  In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
    of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
    is extremely wasteful.

  - `fetchurl'.  Performing the download on a remote machine and then
    copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
    traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
    CPU cycles on the local machine.

Peter Simons a17071fef1 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to
names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution,
because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global
namespace.

Peter Simons 8b7f8b56f1 Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.

The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.

Eelco Dolstra bf87cc44b4 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-06-21 07:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 89865da76d * Turn build errors during evaluation into EvalErrors. 2010-06-01 11:19:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a443c7573b * Hack to allow derivations to disable chroot builds by setting the
attribute "__noChroot = true" (requested by Rob).
2010-06-01 10:01:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e020d80e4e * Sync with the trunk. 2010-03-11 15:45:05 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 05e15049a5 Show the build user's group in /etc/group in chroots.
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Create
  /etc/group showing the build user's group.

* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Fix the GID
  of the build user in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-11 10:33:04 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 2e8eaca573 Clear supplementary groups of `nixbld' in /etc/passwd in chroots.
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Don't
  display any supplementary groups for `nixbld' in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-11 10:21:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e17be7981 * Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build
hooks for silence.  It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
  command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03 21:38:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07ffdc2862 * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
  same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29 12:22:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef92a14bfe * Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.  Without it, functions like stat() fail on
  large file sizes.  This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:

  $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
  error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

  $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds
  File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024   regular empty file

  (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
  to fail.)
2009-12-17 14:12:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bcd6cdf0d8 * Give a better error message when trying to build something and
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-12-09 17:45:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8520542071 * When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linking
fails.  This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise',
  because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22 08:28:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 193f59e077 * Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>. 2009-09-24 07:21:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64e89980e8 * Create some state directories automatically as a convenience. 2009-09-23 17:05:51 +00:00
Rob Vermaas 48b58617e9 * include wait.h for WEXITSTATUS 2009-09-23 12:57:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d5eab2fc82 * Use foreach in a lot of places. 2009-04-21 11:52:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dfb863f333 * Don't cache transient build hook problems. 2009-04-15 06:25:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 351bf658f9 * Do a substitution even if --max-jobs == 0. 2009-03-31 21:14:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cff2b2a13a * Doh! 2009-03-31 15:50:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 805144b705 * Make the poll interval configurable. 2009-03-30 11:34:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7377195297 * With `--max-jobs 0', print a nicer error message than "Assertion
`!awake.empty()' failed."
2009-03-29 18:06:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 737423a89c * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it
  accepts the build).
* build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than
  the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first*
  machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-29 18:00:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6e946c8e72 * Scan for references and compute the SHA-256 hash of the output in
one pass.  This halves the amount of I/O.
2009-03-28 20:51:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a2bbe7f8a * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28 19:29:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f54e800366 * The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a build
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.
2009-03-28 16:12:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92f525ecf4 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by
default.  This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-25 21:05:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a046858a22 * Doh. 2009-03-24 23:40:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 12c8c64efa 2009-03-24 14:07:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cacff1be88 * No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. Instead
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main
  select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again).
  This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both
  trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't
  block; it should first see if it can build other goals.  Also, it
  prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately,
  where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's
  waiting for a lock held by the first.

  The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't
  provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop.  The only
  solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking
  fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require
  pthreads.
2009-03-23 01:05:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58969fa2bf * Refactoring. 2009-03-22 23:53:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2897286487 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation.  That
  is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
  and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
  might fail, for example).  This is ensured at instantiation time by
  adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18 17:36:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c183ee5c79 * Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the build
hook.  This fixes a problem with log files being partially or
  completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process
  truncates the log file.  It should also be more efficient.
2009-03-18 14:48:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 33ecb42991 * Cleanup. 2009-03-17 11:42:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 824b154ce8 * Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs.  Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
  then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes.  With
  --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
  of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
  Nixpkgs).  Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
  build it again  until the lock is released.
  
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
  manner for failed top-level derivation goals.  So if there were more
  than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
  having run out of build users.
2009-02-16 09:24:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-02-02 17:24:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 061141e632 * Make it compile on Debian 4.0 (which doesn't define PER_LINUX32_3GB
in sys/personality.h).
2009-01-27 13:36:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 019176137f * When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the
  builder failed).  This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it
  makes sense to retry a build).
2009-01-13 11:39:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c504d90c11 * Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux Nix
installations.  This is implemented using the personality() syscall,
  which causes uname to return "i686" in child processes.
2009-01-12 16:30:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f6bb1fdea * Delete the chroot if it already exists (e.g. left over from an
interrupted build).
2008-12-15 23:55:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92cb7c4dfe * Put chroots in the Nix store. This ensures that we can create hard
links to the inputs.
2008-12-12 17:14:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b70a8e7c9 * Detect whether unshare() is available. 2008-12-12 13:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6776a52bb3 * Use a PathSet for the chroot directories so that we don't
accidentally bind-mount a directory twice.
2008-12-12 11:49:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d86bd22d24 * Define _GNU_SOURCE. Hopefully this fixes the build on Debian 4.0
(http://hydra.nixos.org/nixlog/384/1).
2008-12-12 10:20:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac5478eb52 * Don't provide the whole Nix store in the chroot, but only the
closure of the inputs.  This really enforces that there can't be any
  undeclared dependencies on paths in the store.  This is done by
  creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in
  the fake store for all paths in the closure.  After the build, the
  build output is moved from the fake store to the real store.  TODO:
  the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for
  this to work, but this isn't enforced yet.  (I.e. it only works
  currently if /tmp is on the same FS as /nix/store.)
2008-12-11 18:57:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 652817046b * Revert r13150: now that we use private namespaces for the chroot, we
don't have to put the chroot in /nix/var/nix/chroots anymore.
  They're back in /tmp now.
2008-12-11 17:52:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a569509b4 * Provide a minimal /etc/passwd in the chroot to keep some builders
happy.
2008-12-11 17:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7c54f1603f * Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
  children.  So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
  won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
  anymore.  Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
  automatically when the builder exits.
2008-12-11 17:00:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ac3f5df9c * Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines. 2008-12-04 16:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 909fbb9de1 * When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
  otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
  are no running children").  So inform the build hook when this is
  the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
  the maximum load on a machine.
2008-12-04 14:29:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fedb7aa0f * Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents
subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes
  either barf with a "Broken pipe" message or not, depending on the
  exact timing conditions.  This particularly happened in GNU M4 (and
  Bison, which uses M4).
2008-11-14 15:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a519bb0635 * Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor
build progress.
2008-11-12 11:08:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4166b11a53 * Add /dev/pts to the default nix.conf. 2008-11-11 14:59:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 709b55ee02 * Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of
disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts.  Will try the
  definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the
  CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time.
2008-10-29 15:34:48 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès c98ea254dc libstore: Always mount `/dev/pts' individually.
This fixes problems such as Tcl's PTY handling:

  ERROR: The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to
  create more.
2008-10-16 21:04:32 +00:00
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.
2008-01-29 18:17:36 +00:00
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).
2007-11-16 16:15:26 +00:00
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...)
2007-10-27 00:46:59 +00:00
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).

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.

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.

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.
