Eelco Dolstra 299141ecbd If a substitute closure is incomplete, build dependencies, then retry the substituter
Issue #77.

Eelco Dolstra b7629778ef Allow mounting a path in a different location in the chroot
Fixes #24.

Eelco Dolstra 68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

Eelco Dolstra 5ee7d8fbab Typo fix 2012-12-21 00:18:59 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 2754a07ead nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings
So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root
due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store
-q --roots’ now shows that root.

Eelco Dolstra 06f62defe6 Yet another rewrite of the garbage collector
But this time it's *obviously* correct!  No more segfaults due to
infinite recursions for sure, etc.

Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to
/nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>.  Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at
the end.

Eelco Dolstra 9c29a2ed35 Give a better error message if writeFile fails due to permission issues 2012-12-20 12:22:13 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra e775d4d84f If gc-keep-derivations is set, only keep the actual deriver
This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an
infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle
that can occur with fixed-output derivations).

Eelco Dolstra fbf0b2fa45 Kill the build hook rather than shutting it down cleanly
Waiting for the hook to shut down cleanly sometimes seems to lead to
hangs.

Eelco Dolstra 772778c0ec On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time
If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms),
there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.

Eelco Dolstra 566afa1e9c Support xz compression of nixexprs.tar in channels 2012-12-05 11:02:44 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 444b03a36f Produce an xz-compressed tarball
Footnote: doing "make dist-gzip dist-xz" doesn't work with Automake;
you have to do "make dist-gzip; dist-xz".  That's because the dist-*
targets delete the temporary distdir at the end.

If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it.
So symlink all outputs in the user environment.

Eelco Dolstra 8eed07cda4 nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs
We now print all output paths of a package, e.g.

  openssl-1.0.0i  bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i

or (in XML mode)

  <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux">
    <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" />
    <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" />
    <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" />
  </item>

Eelco Dolstra 6c98e6a5de Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes
This allows adding attributes like

  attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null;

without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms.

We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose,
but using null seems more elegant.

Eelco Dolstra 8b8ee53bc7 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language
version.  It gets increased every time a language feature is
added/changed/removed.  It's currently 1.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
