Eelco Dolstra ce86a9a0ae * nix-channel: fail if we don't have write permission to the manifests
directory.  Previously in this situation we did add the Nix
  expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but
  this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing
  error messages.
2012-02-02 12:25:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2a3f4110c5 * nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporary
directory rather than the current directory.
* nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
2012-01-13 23:35:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4e6b9f2d6 * Doh! 2012-01-05 21:07:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a7366a764a * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other
scripts.
* Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is
  at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will
  run on another version.
2012-01-05 20:33:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39d45a6b09 * Add a test for nix-channel.
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03 01:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dadbb51d96 * Use Nix::Config. 2012-01-03 00:47:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 48cea0d01e * Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some
other simplifications.
* Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs.  This allows them to be
  overriden through $NIX_PATH.
* Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need
  to create a temporary file.
2012-01-03 00:16:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d728bc3e6 * Security: make sure the lock files used by build-remote.pl are not
readable to other users.  Otherwise, any user can open the lock file
  for reading and lock it, thus DoSing the remote build mechanism.
2011-12-21 19:11:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 69d6f0936a * Use a lock to ensure that only one build-remote instance can copy a
closure to a given machine at the same time.  This prevents the case
  where multiple instances try to copy the same missing store path to
  the target machine, which is very wasteful.
2011-12-21 18:59:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a67b8ae224 * Typo. 2011-12-15 14:04:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3964d95abf * nix-prefetch-url: rewritten in Perl. 2011-12-02 12:09:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1749a7b0ae * download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings. 2011-11-29 13:01:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 216440b3ff * For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes in
base-32.  (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-29 12:32:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1df120cb05 * Get rid of the shell in ssh calls. 2011-11-29 10:51:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d5ac78e0d6 * Add bzip2 and xz support to nix-copy-closure. 2011-11-23 15:29:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bbd693cae * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
  ‘nix-copy-closure --to’.  This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23 15:13:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab20af3e6f * build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix. 2011-11-23 12:21:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8e609c341 * nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of
  paths.  This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding
  up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16 16:41:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7d7910ba4 * Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to
  fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16 16:25:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 00b41e46ed * Print a consistent message. 2011-10-19 21:34:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f186a9141e * nix-copy-closure: support ‘--dry-run’ and ‘--include-outputs’. 2011-10-18 21:21:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6761757428 * Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure. 2011-10-11 15:41:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c362e4d718 * Move SSH.pm. 2011-10-11 11:45:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5090c34ee1 * Set the executable bit on scripts. 2011-10-10 22:40:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cd6d02c366 2011-10-10 21:30:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fcdbcac20 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under
the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10 21:11:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bcdc7e351 * Update the cleanup script. 2011-08-27 16:59:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a95ba4cdd9 * Use last_insert_id instead of sqlite_last_insert_rowid, which you're
not really supposed to use according to the DBD::SQLite docs, and
  fails on some systems (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1246662).
2011-08-17 14:17:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ecc97b6bd * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.

    import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>

  are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
  the search path.  This allows us to get rid of hacks like

    import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"

  The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
  and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
  e.g.,

    $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...

  If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
  lazily thrown.
2011-08-06 16:05:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0243eea4b9 * Create a symlink to /nix/var/nix/manifests in /nix/var/nix/gcroots
if it doesn't exist.
2011-07-20 11:47:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e649f3168b * Fix concurrency issues in download-using-manifests' handling of the
SQLite manifest cache.  The DBI AutoCommit feature caused every
  process to have an active transaction at all times, which could
  indefinitely block processes wanting to update the manifest cache.

* Disable fsync() in the manifest cache because we don't need
  integrity (the cache can always be recreated if it gets corrupted).
2011-07-13 14:05:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d94cb02bfe * nix-install-package: unset NIX_REMOTE because $NIX_MANIFESTS_DIR
doesn't work when building through the Nix daemon.  This also
  ensures an error message when the user doesn't have sufficient
  privileges to do nix-pull.
2011-04-19 10:52:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 412914d004 * Read manifests directly into the database, rather than first reading
them into memory.  This brings memory use down to (more or less)
  O(1).  For instance, on my test case, the maximum resident size of
  download-using-manifests while filling the DB went from 142 MiB to
  11 MiB.
2011-04-11 13:16:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 08c8971498 * Lock the database during updates. 2011-04-11 12:40:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3cbf680f5d * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the
location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and
  --with-dbd-sqlite.
2011-04-11 10:13:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83252b4ca9 * Subtle bug: if you import File::stat in one module, it affects other
modules as well.  So use symbolic field names everywhere (which is
  nicer anyway).
2011-04-11 08:21:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1882c3ef7 * Create $manifestDir if it doesn't exist. 2011-04-11 08:06:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5591fcc529 * Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests
  substituter, especially if manifests are very large.  For instance,
  one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using
  binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s.  It also significantly
  reduces memory use.

  The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite.  It's
  updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from
  /nix/var/nix/manifests.  It might be interesting to have nix-pull
  store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as
  separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface
  to delete manifests from the DB.
2011-04-10 23:22:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1e7e4f21ba * Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer used
and redundant anyway.
2011-04-06 09:16:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0423d0692a * Print a better error message. 2011-03-16 15:55:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 802c2651c8 2011-02-17 15:08:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e945b52a31 * nix-push: handle the case where the hash is not set in the DB. 2011-02-17 13:26:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6c8b995c5 * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it.
This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from
  Perl.
2010-12-22 10:32:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0be433fec * Disable X11 forwarding, it's not needed. 2010-12-15 14:25:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f1a6b97639 * nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing of
`+' and `?' in filenames.  This is very slow if /nix/store is very
  large.  (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to
  bypass the shell entirely.)
2010-12-15 08:39:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13 16:53:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 542fc69062 * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot
of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.
2010-12-13 08:39:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d0444e244 * Bad things happen when a filehandle has the same name as a module. 2010-12-07 12:33:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 365f3028dd * Use CamelCase for the Perl modules. 2010-12-05 17:50:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f42a505ab7 * Add a script `nix-generate-patches'.
* Fix the binary patching test.
