- Builds in chroots are now executed in a private network
- namespace, meaning that they do not see any network interfaces
- except a private loopback interface. This ensures that builds
- cannot communicate with processes outside of the chroot, or clash
- with other builds by listening on an identical port number.
+ On Linux, when doing a chroot build, Nix now uses various
+ namespace features provided by the Linux kernel to improve
+ build isolation. Namely:
+
+ The private network namespace ensures that
+ builders cannot talk to the outside world (or vice versa): each
+ build only sees a private loopback interface. This also means
+ that two concurrent builds can listen on the same port (e.g. as
+ part of a test) without conflicting with each
+ other.
+ The PID namespace causes each build to start as
+ PID 1. Processes outside of the chroot are not visible to those
+ on the inside. On the other hand, processes inside the chroot
+ are visible from the outside (though with
+ different PIDs).
+ The IPC namespace prevents the builder from
+ communicating with outside processes using SysV IPC mechanisms
+ (shared memory, message queues, semaphores). It also ensures
+ that all IPC objects are destroyed when the builder
+ exits.
+ The UTS namespace ensures that builders see a
+ hostname of localhost rather than the actual
+ hostname.
+ The private mount namespace was already used by
+ Nix to ensure that the bind-mounts used to set up the chroot are
+ cleaned up automatically.
+
+
Build logs are now compressed using
bzip2. The command nix-store
- -l decompresses them on the fly.

+ false. This is useful, for instance, for Hydra

+
+
+
+ Nix now reserves some space in
+ /nix/var/nix/db/reserved to ensure that the
+ garbage collector can run successfully if the disk is full. This
+ is necessary because SQLite transactions fail if the disk is
+ full.
+
+
+
+ Added a basic fetchurl function. This
+ is not intended to replace the fetchurl in
