# Filing a Nix issue
|
||||
|
||||
*WAIT* Are you sure you're filing your issue in the right repository?
|
||||
|
||||
We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about issues you encounter, but routing the issue to the right place will get you help sooner and save everyone time.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the Nix repository, and issues here should be about Nix the build and package management *_tool_*.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a problem with a specific package on NixOS or when using Nix, you probably want to file an issue with _nixpkgs_, whose issue tracker is over at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of _Nix_ issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- Nix segfaults when I run `nix-build -A blahblah`
|
||||
- The Nix language needs a new builtin: `builtins.foobar`
|
||||
- Regression in the behavior of `nix-env` in Nix 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of _nixpkgs_ issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- glibc is b0rked on aarch64
|
||||
- chromium in NixOS doesn't support U2F but google-chrome does!
|
||||
- The OpenJDK package on macOS is missing a key component
|
||||
|
||||
Chances are if you're a newcomer to the Nix world, you'll probably want the [nixpkgs tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues). It also gets a lot more eyeball traffic so you'll probably get a response a lot more quickly.

Nix, the purely functional package manager
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
# Nix
|
||||
|
||||
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its
|
||||
purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't
|
||||
appear with Nix.
|
||||
[![Open Collective supporters](https://opencollective.com/nixos/tiers/supporter/badge.svg?label=Supporters&color=brightgreen)](https://opencollective.com/nixos)
|
||||
[![Test](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/workflows/Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/actions)
|
||||
|
||||
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please
|
||||
read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at
|
||||
<http://nixos.org/nix/manual>.
|
||||
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package
|
||||
management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the [Nix manual](https://nixos.org/nix/manual)
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributing
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look at the [Hacking Section](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-hacking)
|
||||
of the manual. It helps you to get started with building Nix from source.
|
||||
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command
|
||||
(as a user other than root):
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Information on additional installation methods is available on the [Nix download page](https://nixos.org/download.html).
|
||||
|
||||
## Building And Developing
|
||||
|
||||
See our [Hacking guide](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/build.x86_64-linux/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual/contributing/hacking.html) in our manual for instruction on how to
|
||||
build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.

<title>Remote Builds</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix supports remote builds, where a local Nix installation can
|
||||
forward Nix builds to other machines. This allows multiple builds to
|
||||
be performed in parallel and allows Nix to perform multi-platform
|
||||
builds in a semi-transparent way. For instance, if you perform a
|
||||
build for a <literal>x86_64-darwin</literal> on an
|
||||
<literal>i686-linux</literal> machine, Nix can automatically forward
|
||||
the build to a <literal>x86_64-darwin</literal> machine, if
|
||||
available.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>To forward a build to a remote machine, it’s required that the
|
||||
remote machine is accessible via SSH and that it has Nix
|
||||
installed. You can test whether connecting to the remote Nix instance
|
||||
works, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix ping-store --store ssh://mac
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
will try to connect to the machine named <literal>mac</literal>. It is
|
||||
possible to specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store
|
||||
URI, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix ping-store --store ssh://mac?ssh-key=/home/alice/my-key
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
Since builds should be non-interactive, the key should not have a
|
||||
passphrase. Alternatively, you can load identities ahead of time into
|
||||
<command>ssh-agent</command> or <command>gpg-agent</command>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If you get the error
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
bash: nix-store: command not found
|
||||
error: cannot connect to 'mac'
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
then you need to ensure that the <envar>PATH</envar> of
|
||||
non-interactive login shells contains Nix.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<warning><para>If you are building via the Nix daemon, it is the Nix
|
||||
daemon user account (that is, <literal>root</literal>) that should
|
||||
have SSH access to the remote machine. If you can’t or don’t want to
|
||||
configure <literal>root</literal> to be able to access to remote
|
||||
machine, you can use a private Nix store instead by passing
|
||||
e.g. <literal>--store ~/my-nix</literal>.</para></warning>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The list of remote machines can be specified on the command line
|
||||
or in the Nix configuration file. The former is convenient for
|
||||
testing. For example, the following command allows you to build a
|
||||
derivation for <literal>x86_64-darwin</literal> on a Linux machine:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ uname
|
||||
Linux
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix build \
|
||||
'(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
|
||||
--builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
|
||||
[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
|
||||
|
||||
$ cat ./result
|
||||
Darwin
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to specify multiple builders separated by a semicolon
|
||||
or a newline, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
--builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd'
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Each machine specification consists of the following elements,
|
||||
separated by spaces. Only the first element is required.
|
||||
To leave a field at its default, set it to <literal>-</literal>.
|
||||
|
||||
<orderedlist>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>The URI of the remote store in the format
|
||||
<literal>ssh://[<replaceable>username</replaceable>@]<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></literal>,
|
||||
e.g. <literal>ssh://nix@mac</literal> or
|
||||
<literal>ssh://mac</literal>. For backward compatibility,
|
||||
<literal>ssh://</literal> may be omitted. The hostname may be an
|
||||
alias defined in your
|
||||
<filename>~/.ssh/config</filename>.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>A comma-separated list of Nix platform type
|
||||
identifiers, such as <literal>x86_64-darwin</literal>. It is
|
||||
possible for a machine to support multiple platform types, e.g.,
|
||||
<literal>i686-linux,x86_64-linux</literal>. If omitted, this
|
||||
defaults to the local platform type.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>The SSH identity file to be used to log in to the
|
||||
remote machine. If omitted, SSH will use its regular
|
||||
identities.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>The maximum number of builds that Nix will execute
|
||||
in parallel on the machine. Typically this should be equal to the
|
||||
number of CPU cores. For instance, the machine
|
||||
<literal>itchy</literal> in the example will execute up to 8 builds
|
||||
in parallel.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>The “speed factor”, indicating the relative speed of
|
||||
the machine. If there are multiple machines of the right type, Nix
|
||||
will prefer the fastest, taking load into account.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>A comma-separated list of <emphasis>supported
|
||||
features</emphasis>. If a derivation has the
|
||||
<varname>requiredSystemFeatures</varname> attribute, then Nix will
|
||||
only perform the derivation on a machine that has the specified
|
||||
features. For instance, the attribute
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
will cause the build to be performed on a machine that has the
|
||||
<literal>kvm</literal> feature.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>A comma-separated list of <emphasis>mandatory
|
||||
features</emphasis>. A machine will only be used to build a
|
||||
derivation if all of the machine’s mandatory features appear in the
|
||||
derivation’s <varname>requiredSystemFeatures</varname>
|
||||
attribute..</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
</orderedlist>
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the machine specification
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
nix@scratchy.labs.cs.uu.nl i686-linux /home/nix/.ssh/id_scratchy_auto 8 1 kvm
|
||||
nix@itchy.labs.cs.uu.nl i686-linux /home/nix/.ssh/id_scratchy_auto 8 2
|
||||
nix@poochie.labs.cs.uu.nl i686-linux /home/nix/.ssh/id_scratchy_auto 1 2 kvm benchmark
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
specifies several machines that can perform
|
||||
<literal>i686-linux</literal> builds. However,
|
||||
<literal>poochie</literal> will only do builds that have the attribute
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "benchmark" ];
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "benchmark" "kvm" ];
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
<literal>itchy</literal> cannot do builds that require
|
||||
<literal>kvm</literal>, but <literal>scratchy</literal> does support
|
||||
such builds. For regular builds, <literal>itchy</literal> will be
|
||||
preferred over <literal>scratchy</literal> because it has a higher
|
||||
speed factor.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Remote builders can also be configured in
|
||||
<filename>nix.conf</filename>, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
builders = ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, remote builders can be configured in a separate configuration
|
||||
file included in <option>builders</option> via the syntax
|
||||
<literal>@<replaceable>file</replaceable></literal>. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
builders = @/etc/nix/machines
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
causes the list of machines in <filename>/etc/nix/machines</filename>
|
||||
to be included. (This is the default.)</para>

possible to match paths against a prefix. For example, the value

<screen>
|

nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch:/etc/nixos</screen>

<listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Normally, the Nix store directory (typically
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store</filename>) is not allowed to contain any
|
||||
symlink components. This is to prevent “impure” builds. Builders
|
||||
sometimes “canonicalise” paths by resolving all symlink components.
|
||||
Thus, builds on different machines (with
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store</filename> resolving to different locations)
|
||||
could yield different results. This is generally not a problem,
|
||||
except when builds are deployed to machines where
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store</filename> resolves differently. If you are
|
||||
sure that you’re not going to do that, you can set
|
||||
<envar>NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE</envar> to <envar>1</envar>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Note that if you’re symlinking the Nix store so that you can
|
||||
put it on another file system than the root file system, on Linux
|
||||
you’re better off using <literal>bind</literal> mount points, e.g.,
|
||||
|

<screen>

$ mkdir /nix

$ mount -o bind /mnt/otherdisk/nix /nix</screen>

<para>The <command>nix-build</command> command builds the derivations

If the build succeeds, it places a symlink to the result in the

current directory. The symlink is called <filename>result</filename>.
|

If there are multiple Nix expressions, or the Nix expressions evaluate
|

to multiple derivations, multiple sequentially numbered symlinks are

created (<filename>result</filename>, <filename>result-2</filename>,
|

<para>If no <replaceable>paths</replaceable> are specified, then

|

<para>If a derivation has multiple outputs,

<command>nix-build</command> will build the default (first) output.

You can also build all outputs:
|

<screen>
|

$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A openssl.all

This will create a symlink for each output named

<filename>result-<replaceable>outputname</replaceable></filename>.

The suffix is omitted if the output name is <literal>out</literal>.
|

So if <literal>openssl</literal> has outputs <literal>out</literal>,
|

<literal>bin</literal> and <literal>man</literal>,
|

<command>nix-build</command> will create symlinks
|

<literal>result</literal>, <literal>result-bin</literal> and

<literal>result-man</literal>. It’s also possible to build a specific

output:
|

<screen>
|

$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A openssl.man
|

</screen>
|

This will create a symlink <literal>result-man</literal>.</para>

<para>The command <command>nix-collect-garbage</command> is mostly an

alias of <link linkend="rsec-nix-store-gc"><command>nix-store
|
||||
--gc</command></link>, that is, it deletes all unreachable paths in
|
||||
the Nix store to clean up your system. However, it provides two
|
||||
additional options: <option>-d</option> (<option>--delete-old</option>),
|
||||
which deletes all old generations of all profiles in
|
||||
<filename>/nix/var/nix/profiles</filename> by invoking
|
||||
<literal>nix-env --delete-generations old</literal> on all profiles
|
||||
(of course, this makes rollbacks to previous configurations
|
||||
impossible); and
|
||||
<option>--delete-older-than</option> <replaceable>period</replaceable>,
|
||||
where period is a value such as <literal>30d</literal>, which deletes
|
||||
all generations older than the specified number of days in all profiles
|

in <filename>/nix/var/nix/profiles</filename> (except for the generations

that were active at that point in time).

|

|

<para><command>nix-copy-closure</command> gives you an easy and
|
||||
efficient way to exchange software between machines. Given one or
|
||||
more Nix store <replaceable>paths</replaceable> on the local
|
||||
machine, <command>nix-copy-closure</command> computes the closure of
|
||||
those paths (i.e. all their dependencies in the Nix store), and copies
|
||||
all paths in the closure to the remote machine via the
|
||||
<command>ssh</command> (Secure Shell) command. With the
|
||||
<option>--from</option>, the direction is reversed:
|
||||
the closure of <replaceable>paths</replaceable> on a remote machine is
|
||||
copied to the Nix store on the local machine.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>This command is efficient because it only sends the store paths
|
||||
that are missing on the target machine.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Since <command>nix-copy-closure</command> calls
|
||||
<command>ssh</command>, you may be asked to type in the appropriate
|
||||
password or passphrase. In fact, you may be asked
|
||||
<emphasis>twice</emphasis> because <command>nix-copy-closure</command>
|
||||
currently connects twice to the remote machine, first to get the set
|
||||
of paths missing on the target machine, and second to send the dump of
|
||||
those paths. If this bothers you, use
|
||||
<command>ssh-agent</command>.</para>

<para>The command <command>nix-hash</command> computes the

cryptographic hash of the contents of each

<replaceable>path</replaceable> and prints it on standard output. By
|

default, it computes an MD5 hash, but other hash algorithms are

available as well. The hash is printed in hexadecimal. To generate

the same hash as <command>nix-prefetch-url</command> you have to

<para>The hash is computed over a <emphasis>serialisation</emphasis>

<para>The command <command>nix-prefetch-url</command> downloads the
|

file referenced by the URL <replaceable>url</replaceable>, prints its
|

cryptographic hash, and copies it into the Nix store. The file name
|

in the store is
|

<filename><replaceable>hash</replaceable>-<replaceable>baseName</replaceable></filename>,

where <replaceable>baseName</replaceable> is everything following the

|

|

<para>This command is just a convenience for Nix expression writers.
|
||||
Often a Nix expression fetches some source distribution from the
|
||||
network using the <literal>fetchurl</literal> expression contained in
|
||||
Nixpkgs. However, <literal>fetchurl</literal> requires a
|
||||
cryptographic hash. If you don't know the hash, you would have to
|
||||
download the file first, and then <literal>fetchurl</literal> would
|
||||
download it again when you build your Nix expression. Since
|
||||
<literal>fetchurl</literal> uses the same name for the downloaded file
|
||||
as <command>nix-prefetch-url</command>, the redundant download can be
|
||||
avoided.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If <replaceable>hash</replaceable> is specified, then a download
|
||||
is not performed if the Nix store already contains a file with the
|
||||
same hash and base name. Otherwise, the file is downloaded, and an
|
||||
error if signaled if the actual hash of the file does not match the
|
||||
specified hash.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>This command prints the hash on standard output. Additionally,
|
||||
if the option <option>--print-path</option> is used, the path of the
|
||||
downloaded file in the Nix store is also printed.</para>

<para>The command <command>nix-shell</command> will build the

|

<replaceable>path</replaceable> have been set to their corresponding
|

<para>To build the dependencies of the package Pan, and start an
|
||||
interactive shell in which to build it:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A pan
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ unpackPhase
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ cd pan-*
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ configurePhase
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ buildPhase
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ ./pan/gui/pan
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
To clear the environment first, and do some additional automatic
|
||||
initialisation of the interactive shell:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A pan --pure \
|
||||
--command 'export NIX_DEBUG=1; export NIX_CORES=8; return'
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
Nix expressions can also be given on the command line. For instance,
|
||||
the following starts a shell containing the packages
|
||||
<literal>sqlite</literal> and <literal>libX11</literal>:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ sqlite xorg.libX11 ]; } ""'
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
A shorter way to do the same is:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ echo $NIX_LDFLAGS
|
||||
… -L/nix/store/j1zg5v…-sqlite-3.8.0.2/lib -L/nix/store/0gmcz9…-libX11-1.6.1/lib …
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <command>-p</command> flag looks up Nixpkgs in the Nix search
|
||||
path. You can override it by passing <option>-I</option> or setting
|
||||
<envar>NIX_PATH</envar>. For example, the following gives you a shell
|
||||
containing the Pan package from a specific revision of Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell -p pan -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/8a3eea054838b55aca962c3fbde9c83c102b8bf2.tar.gz
|

[nix-shell:~]$ pan --version

|

<refsection xml:id="ssec-nix-shell-shebang"><title>Use as a <literal>#!</literal>-interpreter</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can use <command>nix-shell</command> as a script interpreter
|
||||
to allow scripts written in arbitrary languages to obtain their own
|
||||
dependencies via Nix. This is done by starting the script with the
|
||||
following lines:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell -i <replaceable>real-interpreter</replaceable> -p <replaceable>packages</replaceable>
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
where <replaceable>real-interpreter</replaceable> is the “real” script
|
||||
interpreter that will be invoked by <command>nix-shell</command> after
|
||||
it has obtained the dependencies and initialised the environment, and
|
||||
<replaceable>packages</replaceable> are the attribute names of the
|
||||
dependencies in Nixpkgs.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The lines starting with <literal>#! nix-shell</literal> specify
|
||||
<command>nix-shell</command> options (see above). Note that you cannot
|
||||
write <literal>#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell -i ...</literal> because
|
||||
many operating systems only allow one argument in
|
||||
<literal>#!</literal> lines.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>For example, here is a Python script that depends on Python and
|
||||
the <literal>prettytable</literal> package:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell -i python -p python pythonPackages.prettytable
|
||||
|
||||
import prettytable
|
||||
|
||||
# Print a simple table.
|
||||
t = prettytable.PrettyTable(["N", "N^2"])
|
||||
for n in range(1, 10): t.add_row([n, n * n])
|
||||
print t
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Similarly, the following is a Perl script that specifies that it
|
||||
requires Perl and the <literal>HTML::TokeParser::Simple</literal> and
|
||||
<literal>LWP</literal> packages:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell -i perl -p perl perlPackages.HTMLTokeParserSimple perlPackages.LWP
|
||||
|
||||
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
|
||||
|
||||
# Fetch nixos.org and print all hrefs.
|
||||
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(url => 'http://nixos.org/');
|
||||
|
||||
while (my $token = $p->get_tag("a")) {
|
||||
my $href = $token->get_attr("href");
|
||||
print "$href\n" if $href;
|
||||
}
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Sometimes you need to pass a simple Nix expression to customize
|
||||
a package like Terraform:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting><![CDATA[
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell -i bash -p "terraform.withPlugins (plugins: [ plugins.openstack ])"
|
||||
|
||||
terraform apply
|
||||
]]></programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
<note><para>You must use double quotes (<literal>"</literal>) when
|
||||
passing a simple Nix expression in a nix-shell shebang.</para></note>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Finally, using the merging of multiple nix-shell shebangs the
|
||||
following Haskell script uses a specific branch of Nixpkgs/NixOS (the
|
||||
18.03 stable branch):
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting><![CDATA[
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell -i runghc -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.HTTP ps.tagsoup])"
|
||||
#! nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-18.03.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
import Network.HTTP
|
||||
import Text.HTML.TagSoup
|
||||
|
||||
-- Fetch nixos.org and print all hrefs.
|
||||
main = do
|
||||
resp <- Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://nixos.org/")
|
||||
body <- getResponseBody resp
|
||||
let tags = filter (isTagOpenName "a") $ parseTags body
|
||||
let tags' = map (fromAttrib "href") tags
|
||||
mapM_ putStrLn $ filter (/= "") tags'
|
||||
]]></programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to be even more precise, you can specify a specific
|
||||
revision of Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
#! nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/0672315759b3e15e2121365f067c1c8c56bb4722.tar.gz
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The examples above all used <option>-p</option> to get
|
||||
dependencies from Nixpkgs. You can also use a Nix expression to build
|
||||
your own dependencies. For example, the Python example could have been
|
||||
written as:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
|
||||
#! nix-shell deps.nix -i python
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
where the file <filename>deps.nix</filename> in the same directory
|
||||
as the <literal>#!</literal>-script contains:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||
|
||||
runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ python pythonPackages.prettytable ]; } ""

<para>The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we

installation from binaries falls back on installation from source.
|

This option is not the default since it is generally not desirable

for a transient failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a

full build from source (with the related consumption of

<listitem><para>This option is accepted by

<command>nix-env</command>, <command>nix-instantiate</command> and

expression evaluator will automatically try to call functions that
|
||||
it encounters. It can automatically call functions for which every
|
||||
argument has a <link linkend='ss-functions'>default value</link>
|
||||
(e.g., <literal>{ <replaceable>argName</replaceable> ?
|
||||
<replaceable>defaultValue</replaceable> }:
|
||||
<replaceable>...</replaceable></literal>). With
|
||||
<option>--arg</option>, you can also call functions that have
|
||||
arguments without a default value (or override a default value).
|
||||
That is, if the evaluator encounters a function with an argument
|
||||
named <replaceable>name</replaceable>, it will call it with value
|
||||
<replaceable>value</replaceable>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>For instance, the top-level <literal>default.nix</literal> in
|

Nixpkgs is actually a function:

<programlisting>

{ # The system (e.g., `i686-linux') for which to build the packages.

system ? builtins.currentSystem

<literal>nix-env -i <replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></literal>),

the function will be called automatically using the value <link

linkend='builtin-currentSystem'><literal>builtins.currentSystem</literal></link>
|

for the <literal>system</literal> argument. You can override this

using <option>--arg</option>, e.g., <literal>nix-env -i

<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable> --arg system

\"i686-freebsd\"</literal>. (Note that since the argument is a Nix

<para>The rationale for fixed-output derivations is derivations

fetchurl {
|

url = http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz;

|

</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
It sometimes happens that the URL of the file changes, e.g.,
|
||||
because servers are reorganised or no longer available. We then
|
||||
must update the call to <function>fetchurl</function>, e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
fetchurl {
|
||||
url = ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz;
|
||||
sha256 = "1md7jsfd8pa45z73bz1kszpp01yw6x5ljkjk2hx7wl800any6465";
|
||||
}
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
If a <function>fetchurl</function> derivation was treated like a
|
||||
normal derivation, the output paths of the derivation and
|
||||
<emphasis>all derivations depending on it</emphasis> would change.
|
||||
For instance, if we were to change the URL of the Glibc source
|
||||
distribution in Nixpkgs (a package on which almost all other
|
||||
packages depend) massive rebuilds would be needed. This is
|
||||
unfortunate for a change which we know cannot have a real effect
|
||||
as it propagates upwards through the dependency graph.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>For fixed-output derivations, on the other hand, the name of
|
||||
the output path only depends on the <varname>outputHash*</varname>
|
||||
and <varname>name</varname> attributes, while all other attributes
|
||||
are ignored for the purpose of computing the output path. (The
|
||||
<varname>name</varname> attribute is included because it is part
|
||||
of the path.)</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>As an example, here is the (simplified) Nix expression for

<varname>fetchurl</varname>:

outputHashAlgo = "sha256";

|

|

|

The builder can actually be made a lot shorter by using the
|
||||
<emphasis>generic builder</emphasis> functions provided by
|

<varname>stdenv</varname>, but here we write out the build steps to

<calloutlist>

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-builder-co-1'>
|

|

<para>When Nix runs a builder, it initially completely clears the
|
||||
environment (except for the attributes declared in the
|
||||
derivation). For instance, the <envar>PATH</envar> variable is
|
||||
empty<footnote><para>Actually, it's initialised to
|
||||
<filename>/path-not-set</filename> to prevent Bash from setting it

undeclared inputs from being used in the build process. If for

example the <envar>PATH</envar> contained

<filename>/usr/bin</filename>, then you might accidentally use
|
||||
<filename>/usr/bin/gcc</filename>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>So the first step is to set up the environment. This is
|
||||
done by calling the <filename>setup</filename> script of the
|
||||
standard environment. The environment variable
|
||||
<envar>stdenv</envar> points to the location of the standard
|
||||
environment being used. (It wasn't specified explicitly as an

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-builder-co-2'>
|

<para>Since Hello needs Perl, we have to make sure that Perl is in
|

the <envar>PATH</envar>. The <envar>perl</envar> environment
|
||||
variable points to the location of the Perl package (since it
|
||||
was passed in as an attribute to the derivation), so
|

<filename><replaceable>$perl</replaceable>/bin</filename> is the

directory containing the Perl interpreter.</para>

</callout>
|

|

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-builder-co-3'>
|

|

<para>Now we have to unpack the sources. The
|
||||
<varname>src</varname> attribute was bound to the result of
|
||||
fetching the Hello source tarball from the network, so the
|
||||
<envar>src</envar> environment variable points to the location in
|
||||
the Nix store to which the tarball was downloaded. After
|
||||
unpacking, we <command>cd</command> to the resulting source
|
||||
directory.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The whole build is performed in a temporary directory
|
||||
created in <varname>/tmp</varname>, by the way. This directory is
|
||||
removed after the builder finishes, so there is no need to clean
|
||||
up the sources afterwards. Also, the temporary directory is
|
||||
always newly created, so you don't have to worry about files from
|
||||
previous builds interfering with the current build.</para>

</callout>
|

|

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-builder-co-4'>
|

|

<para>GNU Hello is a typical Autoconf-based package, so we first
|

have to run its <filename>configure</filename> script. In Nix

every package is stored in a separate location in the Nix store,
|

for instance
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store/9a54ba97fb71b65fda531012d0443ce2-hello-2.1.1</filename>.
|

Nix computes this path by cryptographically hashing all attributes
|
||||
of the derivation. The path is passed to the builder through the
|
||||
<envar>out</envar> environment variable. So here we give
|
||||
<filename>configure</filename> the parameter
|
||||
<literal>--prefix=$out</literal> to cause Hello to be installed in

the expected location.</para>

|

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-builder-co-5'>

|

|

<para>If you are wondering about the absence of error checking on the
|
||||
result of various commands called in the builder: this is because the
|
||||
shell script is evaluated with Bash's <option>-e</option> option,
|
||||
which causes the script to be aborted if any command fails without an

error check.</para>

<para>Since Hello needs Perl, we have to make sure that Perl is in

<para>The whole build is performed in a temporary directory

removed after the builder finishes, so there is no need to clean

up the sources afterwards. Also, the temporary directory is

previous builds interfering with the current build.</para>

|

<para>GNU Hello is a typical Autoconf-based package, so we first

have to run its <filename>configure</filename> script. In Nix
|

every package is stored in a separate location in the Nix store,
|
||||
for instance
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store/9a54ba97fb71b65fda531012d0443ce2-hello-2.1.1</filename>.
|
||||
Nix computes this path by cryptographically hashing all attributes
|
||||
of the derivation. The path is passed to the builder through the
|
||||
<envar>out</envar> environment variable. So here we give
|
||||
<filename>configure</filename> the parameter
|
||||
<literal>--prefix=$out</literal> to cause Hello to be installed in

the expected location.</para>

|

|

<para>If you are wondering about the absence of error checking on the
|
||||
result of various commands called in the builder: this is because the
|
||||
shell script is evaluated with Bash's <option>-e</option> option,
|
||||
which causes the script to be aborted if any command fails without an
|
||||
error check.</para>

<listitem><para>The optional attribute <varname>outputs</varname>

specifies a list of symbolic outputs of the derivation. By default,

a derivation produces a single output path, denoted as

<literal>out</literal>. However, derivations can produce multiple
|
||||
output paths. This is useful because it allows outputs to be
|
||||
downloaded or garbage-collected separately. For instance, imagine a
|
||||
library package that provides a dynamic library, header files, and
|
||||
documentation. A program that links against the library doesn’t
|
||||
need the header files and documentation at runtime, and it doesn’t
|
||||
need the documentation at build time. Thus, the library package
|
||||
could specify:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
outputs = [ "lib" "headers" "doc" ];
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
This will cause Nix to pass environment variables
|
||||
<literal>lib</literal>, <literal>headers</literal> and
|
||||
<literal>doc</literal> to the builder containing the intended store
|
||||
paths of each output. The builder would typically do something like
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
./configure --libdir=$lib/lib --includedir=$headers/include --docdir=$doc/share/doc
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
for an Autoconf-style package. You can refer to each output of a
|
||||
derivation by selecting it as an attribute, e.g.
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
buildInputs = [ pkg.lib pkg.headers ];
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
The first element of <varname>outputs</varname> determines the
|
||||
<emphasis>default output</emphasis>. Thus, you could also write
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
buildInputs = [ pkg pkg.headers ];
|

</programlisting>

<title>Nix Expression Language</title>
|

<para>The Nix expression language is a pure, lazy, functional

language. Purity means that operations in the language don't have

side-effects (for instance, there is no variable assignment).
|

Laziness means that arguments to functions are evaluated only when

they are needed. Functional means that functions are
|

<quote>normal</quote> values that can be passed around and manipulated
|
||||
in interesting ways. The language is not a full-featured, general

purpose language. Its main job is to describe packages,

compositions of packages, and the variability within

packages.</para>

Hello. It's actually already in the Nix Packages collection in
|

<filename>pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/default.nix</filename>.
|
||||
It is customary to place each package in a separate directory and call
|
||||
the single Nix expression in that directory
|
||||
<filename>default.nix</filename>. The file has the following elements
|

(referenced from the figure by number):

<calloutlist>

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-nix-co-1'>
|

|

<para>This states that the expression is a
|

<emphasis>function</emphasis> that expects to be called with three
|
||||
arguments: <varname>stdenv</varname>, <varname>fetchurl</varname>,
|
||||
and <varname>perl</varname>. They are needed to build Hello, but
|
||||
we don't know how to build them here; that's why they are function
|
||||
arguments. <varname>stdenv</varname> is a package that is used
|
||||
by almost all Nix Packages packages; it provides a
|
||||
<quote>standard</quote> environment consisting of the things you
|
||||
would expect in a basic Unix environment: a C/C++ compiler (GCC,
|
||||
to be precise), the Bash shell, fundamental Unix tools such as
|
||||
<command>cp</command>, <command>grep</command>,
|
||||
<command>tar</command>, etc. <varname>fetchurl</varname> is a
|
||||
function that downloads files. <varname>perl</varname> is the
|

Perl interpreter.</para>
|

|

<para>Nix functions generally have the form <literal>{ x, y, ...,

z }: e</literal> where <varname>x</varname>, <varname>y</varname>,
|

etc. are the names of the expected arguments, and where
|
||||
<replaceable>e</replaceable> is the body of the function. So
|

here, the entire remainder of the file is the body of the

function; when given the required arguments, the body should

describe how to build an instance of the Hello package.</para>

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-nix-co-2'>

<para>So we have to build a package. Building something from

other stuff is called a <emphasis>derivation</emphasis> in Nix (as
|

opposed to sources, which are built by humans instead of
|
||||
computers). We perform a derivation by calling
|
||||
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>.
|
||||
<varname>mkDerivation</varname> is a function provided by
|
||||
<varname>stdenv</varname> that builds a package from a set of
|
||||
<emphasis>attributes</emphasis>. A set is just a list of
|
||||
key/value pairs where each key is a string and each value is an
|
||||
arbitrary Nix expression. They take the general form <literal>{

<replaceable>name1</replaceable> =

|

|

<para>The attribute <varname>name</varname> specifies the symbolic

name and version of the package. Nix doesn't really care about
|

these things, but they are used by for instance <command>nix-env

-q</command> to show a <quote>human-readable</quote> name for

<varname>mkDerivation</varname> will fill in a default builder
|

(which does a <literal>configure; make; make install</literal>, in

essence). Hello is sufficiently simple that the default builder
|

would suffice, but in this case, we will show an actual builder

for educational purposes. The value

<callout arearefs='ex-hello-nix-co-5'>

<para>The builder has to know what the sources of the package

are. Here, the attribute <varname>src</varname> is bound to the

result of a call to the <command>fetchurl</command> function.
|
||||
Given a URL and a SHA-256 hash of the expected contents of the file
|

at that URL, this function builds a derivation that downloads the

file and checks its hash. So the sources are a dependency that
|

like all other dependencies is built before Hello itself is

built.</para>

<para>Instead of <varname>src</varname> any other name could have

<title>Generic Builder Syntax</title>
|

|

<para>Recall from <xref linkend='ex-hello-builder' /> that the builder
|

looked something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH
|
||||
tar xvfz $src
|

cd hello-*
|

./configure --prefix=$out
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
The builders for almost all Unix packages look like this — set up some
|
||||
environment variables, unpack the sources, configure, build, and
|
||||
install. For this reason the standard environment provides some Bash
|
||||
functions that automate the build process. A builder using the
|
||||
generic build facilities in shown in <xref linkend='ex-hello-builder2'
|
||||
/>.</para>

<filename>bin</filename> subdirectory, it's added to

environment variables they want; for instance, the setup hook for

Perl sets the <envar>PERL5LIB</envar> environment variable to

contain the <filename>lib/site_perl</filename> directories of all

<para>The final step calls the shell function

were done explicitly in <xref linkend='ex-hello-builder' />. The

generic builder is smart enough to figure out whether to unpack
|

the sources using <command>gzip</command>,

<command>bzip2</command>, etc. It can be customised in many ways;

<para>Discerning readers will note that the

expression, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|

buildInputs = [ perl ];</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
The <varname>perl</varname> attribute can then be removed, and the
|

builder becomes even shorter:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|

source $stdenv/setup
|

genericBuild</programlisting>
|

|

In fact, <varname>mkDerivation</varname> provides a default builder
|

that looks exactly like that, so it is actually possible to omit the
|

builder for Hello entirely.</para>

<para>Recursive sets are just normal sets, but the attributes can

refer to each other. For example,

<programlisting>

rec {

<literal>rec</literal> the binding <literal>x = y;</literal> would

refer to the variable <varname>y</varname> in the surrounding scope,

if one exists, and would be invalid if no such variable exists. That

is, in a normal (non-recursive) set, attributes are not added to the

lexical scope; in a recursive set, they are.</para>

<para>Recursive sets of course introduce the danger of infinite

<simplesect><title>Inheriting attributes</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>When defining a set or in a let-expression it is often convenient to copy variables
|
||||
from the surrounding lexical scope (e.g., when you want to propagate
|
||||
attributes). This can be shortened using the
|
||||
<literal>inherit</literal> keyword. For instance,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
let x = 123; in
|
||||
{ inherit x;
|
||||
y = 456;
|
||||
}</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
is equivalent to
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
let x = 123; in
|
||||
{ x = x;
|
||||
y = 456;
|
||||
}</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
and both evaluate to <literal>{ x = 123; y = 456; }</literal>. (Note that
|
||||
this works because <varname>x</varname> is added to the lexical scope
|
||||
by the <literal>let</literal> construct.) It is also possible to
|
||||
inherit attributes from another set. For instance, in this fragment
|
||||
from <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
graphviz = (import ../tools/graphics/graphviz) {

libX11 = ...;

libXaw = ...;

...

}
|
||||
|
||||
libpng = ...;
|
||||
libjpg = ...;
|
||||
...</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
the set used in the function call to the function defined in
|
||||
<filename>../tools/graphics/graphviz</filename> inherits a number of
|
||||
variables from the surrounding scope (<varname>fetchurl</varname>
|
||||
... <varname>yacc</varname>), but also inherits
|
||||
<varname>libXaw</varname> (the X Athena Widgets) from the
|
||||
<varname>xlibs</varname> (X11 client-side libraries) set.</para>

Summarizing the fragment

|

inherit x y z;

inherit (src-set) a b c;

|

a = src-set.a; b = src-set.b; c = src-set.c;

<programlisting>

The pattern specifies what the argument of the function must look

like, and binds variables in the body to (parts of) the

argument. There are three kinds of patterns:</para>

|

<itemizedlist>

|

|

|

|

<para>Nix has the following basic data types:
|
||||
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<para><emphasis>Strings</emphasis> can be written in three
|
||||
ways.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The most common way is to enclose the string between double
|
||||
quotes, e.g., <literal>"foo bar"</literal>. Strings can span
|
||||
multiple lines. The special characters <literal>"</literal> and
|
||||
<literal>\</literal> and the character sequence
|
||||
<literal>${</literal> must be escaped by prefixing them with a
|
||||
backslash (<literal>\</literal>). Newlines, carriage returns and
|
||||
tabs can be written as <literal>\n</literal>,
|
||||
<literal>\r</literal> and <literal>\t</literal>,
|
||||
respectively.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can include the result of an expression into a string by
|
||||
enclosing it in
|
||||
<literal>${<replaceable>...</replaceable>}</literal>, a feature
|
||||
known as <emphasis>antiquotation</emphasis>. The enclosed
|
||||
expression must evaluate to something that can be coerced into a
|
||||
string (meaning that it must be a string, a path, or a
|
||||
derivation). For instance, rather than writing
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
(where <varname>freetype</varname> is a derivation), you can
|
||||
instead write the more natural
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
The latter is automatically translated to the former. A more
|
||||
complicated example (from the Nix expression for <link
|
||||
xlink:href='http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt'>Qt</link>):
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
configureFlags = "
|
||||
-system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg
|
||||
${if openglSupport then "-dlopen-opengl
|
||||
-L${mesa}/lib -I${mesa}/include
|
||||
-L${libXmu}/lib -I${libXmu}/include" else ""}
|
||||
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
|
||||
";</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested;
|
||||
in this case the outer string contains various antiquotations that
|
||||
themselves contain strings (e.g., <literal>"-thread"</literal>),
|
||||
some of which in turn contain expressions (e.g.,
|
||||
<literal>${mesa}</literal>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The second way to write string literals is as an
|
||||
<emphasis>indented string</emphasis>, which is enclosed between
|
||||
pairs of <emphasis>double single-quotes</emphasis>, like so:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
''
|
||||
This is the first line.
|
||||
This is the second line.
|
||||
This is the third line.
|
||||
''</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
This kind of string literal intelligently strips indentation from
|
||||
the start of each line. To be precise, it strips from each line a
|
||||
number of spaces equal to the minimal indentation of the string as
|
||||
a whole (disregarding the indentation of empty lines). For
|
||||
instance, the first and second line are indented two space, while
|
||||
the third line is indented four spaces. Thus, two spaces are
|
||||
stripped from each line, so the resulting string is
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
"This is the first line.\nThis is the second line.\n This is the third line.\n"</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Note that the whitespace and newline following the opening
|
||||
<literal>''</literal> is ignored if there is no non-whitespace
|
||||
text on the initial line.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Antiquotation
|
||||
(<literal>${<replaceable>expr</replaceable>}</literal>) is
|
||||
supported in indented strings.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Since <literal>${</literal> and <literal>''</literal> have
|
||||
special meaning in indented strings, you need a way to quote them.
|
||||
<literal>$</literal> can be escaped by prefixing it with
|
||||
<literal>''</literal> (that is, two single quotes), i.e.,
|
||||
<literal>''$</literal>. <literal>''</literal> can be escaped by
|
||||
prefixing it with <literal>'</literal>, i.e.,
|
||||
<literal>'''</literal>. <literal>$</literal> removes any special meaning
|
||||
from the following <literal>$</literal>. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
|
||||
characters can be written as <literal>''\n</literal>,
|
||||
<literal>''\r</literal>, <literal>''\t</literal>, and <literal>''\</literal>
|
||||
escapes any other character.
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Indented strings are primarily useful in that they allow
|
||||
multi-line string literals to follow the indentation of the
|
||||
enclosing Nix expression, and that less escaping is typically
|
||||
necessary for strings representing languages such as shell scripts
|
||||
and configuration files because <literal>''</literal> is much less
|
||||
common than <literal>"</literal>. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||||
<replaceable>...</replaceable>
|
||||
postInstall =
|
||||
''
|
||||
mkdir $out/bin $out/etc
|
||||
cp foo $out/bin
|
||||
echo "Hello World" > $out/etc/foo.conf
|
||||
${if enableBar then "cp bar $out/bin" else ""}
|
||||
'';
|
||||
<replaceable>...</replaceable>
|
||||
}
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Finally, as a convenience, <emphasis>URIs</emphasis> as
|
||||
defined in appendix B of <link
|
||||
xlink:href='http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt'>RFC 2396</link>
|
||||
can be written <emphasis>as is</emphasis>, without quotes. For
|
||||
instance, the string
|
||||
<literal>"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"</literal>
|
||||
can also be written as
|
||||
<literal>http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2</literal>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para>Numbers, which can be <emphasis>integers</emphasis> (like
|
||||
<literal>123</literal>) or <emphasis>floating point</emphasis> (like
|
||||
<literal>123.43</literal> or <literal>.27e13</literal>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
|
||||
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one floating point
|
||||
number will have a floating point number as a result.</para></listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para><emphasis>Paths</emphasis>, e.g.,
|
||||
<filename>/bin/sh</filename> or <filename>./builder.sh</filename>.
|
||||
A path must contain at least one slash to be recognised as such; for
|
||||
instance, <filename>builder.sh</filename> is not a
|
||||
path<footnote><para>It's parsed as an expression that selects the
|
||||
attribute <varname>sh</varname> from the variable
|
||||
<varname>builder</varname>.</para></footnote>. If the file name is
|
||||
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
|
||||
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
|
||||
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
|
||||
<filename>/foo/bar/bla.nix</filename> refers to
|
||||
<filename>../xyzzy/fnord.nix</filename>, the absolute path is
|
||||
<filename>/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix</filename>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If the first component of a path is a <literal>~</literal>,
|
||||
it is interpreted as if the rest of the path were relative to the
|
||||
user's home directory. e.g. <filename>~/foo</filename> would be
|
||||
equivalent to <filename>/home/edolstra/foo</filename> for a user
|
||||
whose home directory is <filename>/home/edolstra</filename>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
|
||||
<literal><nixpkgs></literal>. This means that the directories
|
||||
listed in the environment variable
|
||||
<envar linkend="env-NIX_PATH">NIX_PATH</envar> will be searched
|
||||
for the given file or directory name.
|
||||
</para>

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<listitem><para><emphasis>Booleans</emphasis> with values
|

|

<simplesect><title>Lists</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Lists are formed by enclosing a whitespace-separated list of
|
||||
values between square brackets. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" (f { x = y; }) ]</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
defines a list of four elements, the last being the result of a call
|
||||
to the function <varname>f</varname>. Note that function calls have
|
||||
to be enclosed in parentheses. If they had been omitted, e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" f { x = y; } ]</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
the result would be a list of five elements, the fourth one being a
|
||||
function and the fifth being a set.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
</simplesect>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<simplesect><title>Sets</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Sets are really the core of the language, since ultimately the
|
||||
Nix language is all about creating derivations, which are really just
|
||||
sets of attributes to be passed to build scripts.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Sets are just a list of name/value pairs (called
|
||||
<emphasis>attributes</emphasis>) enclosed in curly brackets, where
|
||||
each value is an arbitrary expression terminated by a semicolon. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ x = 123;
|
||||
text = "Hello";
|
||||
y = f { bla = 456; };
|
||||
}</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
This defines a set with attributes named <varname>x</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>text</varname>, <varname>y</varname>. The order of the
|
||||
attributes is irrelevant. An attribute name may only occur
|
||||
once.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Attributes can be selected from a set using the
|
||||
<literal>.</literal> operator. For instance,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.a</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to <literal>"Foo"</literal>. It is possible to provide a
|
||||
default value in an attribute selection using the
|
||||
<literal>or</literal> keyword. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.c or "Xyzzy"</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
will evaluate to <literal>"Xyzzy"</literal> because there is no
|
||||
<varname>c</varname> attribute in the set.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can use arbitrary double-quoted strings as attribute
|
||||
names:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ "foo ${bar}" = 123; "nix-1.0" = 456; }."foo ${bar}"
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to <literal>123</literal> (Assuming
|
||||
<literal>bar</literal> is antiquotable). In the case where an
|
||||
attribute name is just a single antiquotation, the quotes can be
|
||||
dropped:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ foo = 123; }.${bar} or 456 </programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to <literal>123</literal> if
|
||||
<literal>bar</literal> evaluates to <literal>"foo"</literal> when
|
||||
coerced to a string and <literal>456</literal> otherwise (again
|
||||
assuming <literal>bar</literal> is antiquotable).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>In the special case where an attribute name inside of a set declaration
|
||||
evaluates to <literal>null</literal> (which is normally an error, as
|
||||
<literal>null</literal> is not antiquotable), that attribute is simply not
|
||||
added to the set:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{ ${if foo then "bar" else null} = true; }</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to <literal>{}</literal> if <literal>foo</literal>
|
||||
evaluates to <literal>false</literal>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>A set that has a <literal>__functor</literal> attribute whose value
|
||||
is callable (i.e. is itself a function or a set with a
|
||||
<literal>__functor</literal> attribute whose value is callable) can be
|
||||
applied as if it were a function, with the set itself passed in first
|
||||
, e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
let add = { __functor = self: x: x + self.x; };
|
||||
inc = add // { x = 1; };
|
||||
in inc 1

<title>Building and Testing</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can now try to build Hello. Of course, you could do
|
||||
<literal>nix-env -i hello</literal>, but you may not want to install a
|
||||
possibly broken package just yet. The best way to test the package is by
|
||||
using the command <command linkend="sec-nix-build">nix-build</command>,
|
||||
which builds a Nix expression and creates a symlink named
|
||||
<filename>result</filename> in the current directory:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-build -A hello
|
||||
building path `/nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1'
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/intl/
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/intl/ChangeLog
|
||||
<replaceable>...</replaceable>
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l result
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx ... 2006-09-29 10:43 result -> /nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./result/bin/hello
|
||||
Hello, world!</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <link linkend='opt-attr'><option>-A</option></link> option selects
|
||||
the <literal>hello</literal> attribute. This is faster than using the
|
||||
symbolic package name specified by the <literal>name</literal>
|
||||
attribute (which also happens to be <literal>hello</literal>) and is
|
||||
unambiguous (there can be multiple packages with the symbolic name
|
||||
<literal>hello</literal>, but there can be only one attribute in a set
|
||||
named <literal>hello</literal>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para><command>nix-build</command> registers the
|
||||
<filename>./result</filename> symlink as a garbage collection root, so
|
||||
unless and until you delete the <filename>./result</filename> symlink,
|
||||
the output of the build will be safely kept on your system. You can
|
||||
use <command>nix-build</command>’s <option
|
||||
linkend='opt-out-link'>-o</option> switch to give the symlink another
|
||||
name.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix has a transactional semantics. Once a build finishes
|
||||
successfully, Nix makes a note of this in its database: it registers
|
||||
that the path denoted by <envar>out</envar> is now
|
||||
<quote>valid</quote>. If you try to build the derivation again, Nix
|
||||
will see that the path is already valid and finish immediately. If a
|
||||
build fails, either because it returns a non-zero exit code, because
|
||||
Nix or the builder are killed, or because the machine crashes, then
|
||||
the output paths will not be registered as valid. If you try to build
|
||||
the derivation again, Nix will remove the output paths if they exist
|
||||
(e.g., because the builder died half-way through <literal>make
|
||||
install</literal>) and try again. Note that there is no
|
||||
<quote>negative caching</quote>: Nix doesn't remember that a build
|
||||
failed, and so a failed build can always be repeated. This is because
|
||||
Nix cannot distinguish between permanent failures (e.g., a compiler
|
||||
error due to a syntax error in the source) and transient failures
|
||||
(e.g., a disk full condition).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix also performs locking. If you run multiple Nix builds
|
||||
simultaneously, and they try to build the same derivation, the first
|
||||
Nix instance that gets there will perform the build, while the others
|
||||
block (or perform other derivations if available) until the build
|
||||
finishes:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-build -A hello
|
||||
waiting for lock on `/nix/store/0h5b7hp8d4hqfrw8igvx97x1xawrjnac-hello-2.1.1x'</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
So it is always safe to run multiple instances of Nix in parallel
|
||||
(which isn’t the case with, say, <command>make</command>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If you have a system with multiple CPUs, you may want to have
|
||||
Nix build different derivations in parallel (insofar as possible).
|
||||
Just pass the option <link linkend='opt-max-jobs'><option>-j
|
||||
<replaceable>N</replaceable></option></link>, where
|
||||
<replaceable>N</replaceable> is the maximum number of jobs to be run
|
||||
in parallel, or set. Typically this should be the number of
|
||||
CPUs.</para>

<filename>/nix</filename> is owned by the invoking user. You should
|

run this under your usual user account, <emphasis>not</emphasis> as
|

root. The script will invoke <command>sudo</command> to create
|

<filename>/nix</filename> if it doesn’t already exist. If you don’t

<screen>

$ mkdir /nix

<filename>~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</filename>. You can set

it is important that users are not able to run builders that modify
|
||||
the Nix store or database in arbitrary ways, or that interfere with
|
||||
builds started by other users. If they could do so, they could
|
||||
install a Trojan horse in some package and compromise the accounts of
|
||||
other users.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>To prevent this, the Nix store and database are owned by some
|
||||
privileged user (usually <literal>root</literal>) and builders are
|
||||
executed under special user accounts (usually named
|
||||
<literal>nixbld1</literal>, <literal>nixbld2</literal>, etc.). When a
|
||||
unprivileged user runs a Nix command, actions that operate on the Nix
|
||||
store (such as builds) are forwarded to a <emphasis>Nix
|
||||
daemon</emphasis> running under the owner of the Nix store/database
|
||||
that performs the operation.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<note><para>Multi-user mode has one important limitation: only
|
||||
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> and a set of trusted
|
||||
users specified in <filename>nix.conf</filename> can specify arbitrary
|
||||
binary caches. So while unprivileged users may install packages from
|
||||
arbitrary Nix expressions, they may not get pre-built
|
||||
binaries.</para></note>

<title>Setting up the build users</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <emphasis>build users</emphasis> are the special UIDs under
|
||||
which builds are performed. They should all be members of the
|
||||
<emphasis>build users group</emphasis> <literal>nixbld</literal>.
|
||||
This group should have no other members. The build users should not
|
||||
be members of any other group. On Linux, you can create the group and
|
||||
users as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ groupadd -r nixbld
|
||||
$ for n in $(seq 1 10); do useradd -c "Nix build user $n" \
|
||||
-d /var/empty -g nixbld -G nixbld -M -N -r -s "$(which nologin)" \
|
||||
nixbld$n; done
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
This creates 10 build users. There can never be more concurrent builds
|
||||
than the number of build users, so you may want to increase this if
|
||||
you expect to do many builds at the same time.</para>

<title>Running the daemon</title>
|

<para>The <link linkend="sec-nix-daemon">Nix daemon</link> should be

<screen>
|

$ nix-daemon</screen>
|

|

You’ll want to put that line somewhere in your system’s boot

|
||||
|
||||
<para>To let unprivileged users use the daemon, they should set the
|
||||
<link linkend="envar-remote"><envar>NIX_REMOTE</envar> environment
|
||||
variable</link> to <literal>daemon</literal>. So you should put a
|
||||
line like
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
export NIX_REMOTE=daemon</programlisting>
|
||||
|

<title>Restricting access</title>

|

<para>To limit which users can perform Nix operations, you can use the
|

permissions on the directory
|

<filename>/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket</filename>. For instance, if you

want to restrict the use of Nix to the members of a group called

<literal>nix-users</literal>, do
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|

$ chgrp nix-users /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
|
||||
$ chmod ug=rwx,o= /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|

This way, users who are not in the <literal>nix-users</literal> group
|

cannot connect to the Unix domain socket
|

<filename>/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket</filename>, so they cannot
|

perform Nix operations.</para>

<title>Security</title>

|

<para>Nix has two basic security models. First, it can be used in
|
||||
“single-user mode”, which is similar to what most other package
|
||||
management tools do: there is a single user (typically <systemitem
|
||||
class="username">root</systemitem>) who performs all package
|
||||
management operations. All other users can then use the installed
|
||||
packages, but they cannot perform package management operations
|
||||
themselves.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Alternatively, you can configure Nix in “multi-user mode”. In
|
||||
this model, all users can perform package management operations — for
|
||||
instance, every user can install software without requiring root
|
||||
privileges. Nix ensures that this is secure. For instance, it’s not
|
||||
possible for one user to overwrite a package used by another user with
|
||||
a Trojan horse.</para>

<title>About Nix</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix is a <emphasis>purely functional package manager</emphasis>.
|
||||
This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional
|
||||
programming languages such as Haskell — they are built by functions
|
||||
that don’t have side-effects, and they never change after they have
|
||||
been built. Nix stores packages in the <emphasis>Nix
|
||||
store</emphasis>, usually the directory
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store</filename>, where each package has its own unique
|
||||
subdirectory such as
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
/nix/store/b6gvzjyb2pg0kjfwrjmg1vfhh54ad73z-firefox-33.1/
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
where <literal>b6gvzjyb2pg0…</literal> is a unique identifier for the
|
||||
package that captures all its dependencies (it’s a cryptographic hash
|
||||
of the package’s build dependency graph). This enables many powerful
|
||||
features.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<simplesect><title>Multiple versions</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can have multiple versions or variants of a package
|
||||
installed at the same time. This is especially important when
|
||||
different applications have dependencies on different versions of the
|
||||
same package — it prevents the “DLL hell”. Because of the hashing
|
||||
scheme, different versions of a package end up in different paths in
|
||||
the Nix store, so they don’t interfere with each other.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>An important consequence is that operations like upgrading or
|
||||
uninstalling an application cannot break other applications, since
|
||||
these operations never “destructively” update or delete files that are
|
||||
used by other packages.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
</simplesect>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<simplesect><title>Complete dependencies</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix helps you make sure that package dependency specifications
|
||||
are complete. In general, when you’re making a package for a package
|
||||
management system like RPM, you have to specify for each package what
|
||||
its dependencies are, but there are no guarantees that this
|
||||
specification is complete. If you forget a dependency, then the
|
||||
package will build and work correctly on <emphasis>your</emphasis>
|
||||
machine if you have the dependency installed, but not on the end
|
||||
user's machine if it's not there.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Since Nix on the other hand doesn’t install packages in “global”
|
||||
locations like <filename>/usr/bin</filename> but in package-specific
|
||||
directories, the risk of incomplete dependencies is greatly reduced.
|
||||
This is because tools such as compilers don’t search in per-packages
|
||||
directories such as
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store/5lbfaxb722zp…-openssl-0.9.8d/include</filename>,
|
||||
so if a package builds correctly on your system, this is because you
|
||||
specified the dependency explicitly. This takes care of the build-time
|
||||
dependencies.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Once a package is built, runtime dependencies are found by
|
||||
scanning binaries for the hash parts of Nix store paths (such as
|
||||
<literal>r8vvq9kq…</literal>). This sounds risky, but it works
|
||||
extremely well.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
</simplesect>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<simplesect><title>Multi-user support</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix has multi-user support. This means that non-privileged
|
||||
users can securely install software. Each user can have a different
|
||||
<emphasis>profile</emphasis>, a set of packages in the Nix store that
|
||||
appear in the user’s <envar>PATH</envar>. If a user installs a
|
||||
package that another user has already installed previously, the
|
||||
package won’t be built or downloaded a second time. At the same time,
|
||||
it is not possible for one user to inject a Trojan horse into a
|
||||
package that might be used by another user.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
</simplesect>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<simplesect><title>Atomic upgrades and rollbacks</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Since package management operations never overwrite packages in
|
||||
the Nix store but just add new versions in different paths, they are
|
||||
<emphasis>atomic</emphasis>. So during a package upgrade, there is no
|
||||
time window in which the package has some files from the old version
|
||||
and some files from the new version — which would be bad because a
|
||||
program might well crash if it’s started during that period.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>And since packages aren’t overwritten, the old versions are still
|
||||
there after an upgrade. This means that you can <emphasis>roll
|
||||
back</emphasis> to the old version:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env --upgrade <replaceable>some-packages</replaceable>
|
||||
$ nix-env --rollback
|
||||
</screen>

|

|

<screen>
|

$ nix-env --uninstall firefox
|

</screen>
|

|

the package isn’t deleted from the system right away (after all, you
|

might want to do a rollback, or it might be in the profiles of other
|
||||
users). Instead, unused packages can be deleted safely by running the
|

<emphasis>garbage collector</emphasis>:
|

|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-collect-garbage
|

</screen>

This deletes all packages that aren’t in use by any user profile or by

<simplesect><title>Functional package language</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Packages are built from <emphasis>Nix expressions</emphasis>,
|
||||
which is a simple functional language. A Nix expression describes
|
||||
everything that goes into a package build action (a “derivation”):
|
||||
other packages, sources, the build script, environment variables for
|
||||
the build script, etc. Nix tries very hard to ensure that Nix
|
||||
expressions are <emphasis>deterministic</emphasis>: building a Nix
|
||||
expression twice should yield the same result.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Because it’s a functional language, it’s easy to support
|
||||
building variants of a package: turn the Nix expression into a
|
||||
function and call it any number of times with the appropriate
|
||||
arguments. Due to the hashing scheme, variants don’t conflict with
|
||||
each other in the Nix store.</para>

<simplesect><title>Transparent source/binary deployment</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Nix expressions generally describe how to build a package from
|
||||
source, so an installation action like
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env --install firefox
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<emphasis>could</emphasis> cause quite a bit of build activity, as not
|
||||
only Firefox but also all its dependencies (all the way up to the C
|
||||
library and the compiler) would have to built, at least if they are
|
||||
not already in the Nix store. This is a <emphasis>source deployment
|
||||
model</emphasis>. For most users, building from source is not very
|
||||
pleasant as it takes far too long. However, Nix can automatically
|
||||
skip building from source and instead use a <emphasis>binary
|
||||
cache</emphasis>, a web server that provides pre-built binaries. For
|
||||
instance, when asked to build
|
||||
<literal>/nix/store/b6gvzjyb2pg0…-firefox-33.1</literal> from source,
|
||||
Nix would first check if the file
|
||||
<uri>https://cache.nixos.org/b6gvzjyb2pg0….narinfo</uri> exists, and
|
||||
if so, fetch the pre-built binary referenced from there; otherwise, it
|
||||
would fall back to building from source.</para>

<!--

<simplesect><title>Binary patching</title>
|

|

<para>In addition to downloading binaries automatically if they’re

available, Nix can download binary deltas that patch an existing
|

package in the Nix store into a new version. This speeds up
|

upgrades.</para>

<simplesect><title>Managing build environments</title>
|

|

<para>Nix is extremely useful for developers as it makes it easy to
|
||||
automatically set up the build environment for a package. Given a
|
||||
Nix expression that describes the dependencies of your package, the
|
||||
command <command>nix-shell</command> will build or download those
|
||||
dependencies if they’re not already in your Nix store, and then start
|
||||
a Bash shell in which all necessary environment variables (such as
|
||||
compiler search paths) are set.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>For example, the following command gets all dependencies of the
|
||||
Pan newsreader, as described by <link
|
||||
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/newsreaders/pan/default.nix">its
|
||||
Nix expression</link>:</para>

||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A pan
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You’re then dropped into a shell where you can edit, build and test
|
||||
the package:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ tar xf $src
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ cd pan-*
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ ./configure
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ make
|
||||
[nix-shell]$ ./pan/gui/pan
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|

<!--

<para>NixOS is a Linux distribution based on Nix. It uses Nix not

just for package management but also to manage the system

configuration (e.g., to build configuration files in

<filename>/etc</filename>). This means, among other things, that it
|

is easy to roll back the entire configuration of the system to an

earlier state. Also, users can install software without root
|

privileges. For more information and downloads, see the <link

<title>Basic Package Management</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The main command for package management is <link
|
||||
linkend="sec-nix-env"><command>nix-env</command></link>. You can use
|
||||
it to install, upgrade, and erase packages, and to query what
|
||||
packages are installed or are available for installation.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>In Nix, different users can have different “views”
|
||||
on the set of installed applications. That is, there might be lots of
|
||||
applications present on the system (possibly in many different
|
||||
versions), but users can have a specific selection of those active —
|
||||
where “active” just means that it appears in a directory
|
||||
in the user’s <envar>PATH</envar>. Such a view on the set of
|
||||
installed applications is called a <emphasis>user
|
||||
environment</emphasis>, which is just a directory tree consisting of
|
||||
symlinks to the files of the active applications. </para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Components are installed from a set of <emphasis>Nix
|
||||
expressions</emphasis> that tell Nix how to build those packages,
|
||||
including, if necessary, their dependencies. There is a collection of
|
||||
Nix expressions called the Nix Package collection that contains
|
||||
packages ranging from basic development stuff such as GCC and Glibc,
|
||||
to end-user applications like Mozilla Firefox. (Nix is however not
|
||||
tied to the Nix Package collection; you could write your own Nix
|
||||
expressions based on it, or completely new ones.)</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can manually download the latest version of Nixpkgs from
|
||||
<link xlink:href='http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/download.html'/>. However,
|
||||
it’s much more convenient to use the Nixpkgs
|
||||
<emphasis>channel</emphasis>, since it makes it easy to stay up to
|
||||
date with new versions of Nixpkgs. (Channels are described in more
|
||||
detail in <xref linkend="sec-channels"/>.) Nixpkgs is automatically
|
||||
added to your list of “subscribed” channels when you install
|
||||
Nix. If this is not the case for some reason, you can add it as
|
||||
follows:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
|
||||
$ nix-channel --update
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<note><para>On NixOS, you’re automatically subscribed to a NixOS
|
||||
channel corresponding to your NixOS major release
|
||||
(e.g. <uri>http://nixos.org/channels/nixos-14.12</uri>). A NixOS
|
||||
channel is identical to the Nixpkgs channel, except that it contains
|
||||
only Linux binaries and is updated only if a set of regression tests
|
||||
succeed.</para></note>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can view the set of available packages in Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -qa
|
||||
aterm-2.2
|
||||
bash-3.0
|
||||
binutils-2.15
|
||||
bison-1.875d
|
||||
blackdown-1.4.2
|
||||
bzip2-1.0.2
|
||||
…</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The flag <option>-q</option> specifies a query operation, and
|
||||
<option>-a</option> means that you want to show the “available” (i.e.,
|
||||
installable) packages, as opposed to the installed packages. If you
|
||||
downloaded Nixpkgs yourself, or if you checked it out from GitHub,
|
||||
then you need to pass the path to your Nixpkgs tree using the
|
||||
<option>-f</option> flag:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -qaf <replaceable>/path/to/nixpkgs</replaceable>
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
where <replaceable>/path/to/nixpkgs</replaceable> is where you’ve
|
||||
unpacked or checked out Nixpkgs.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can select specific packages by name:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -qa firefox
|
||||
firefox-34.0.5
|
||||
firefox-with-plugins-34.0.5
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
and using regular expressions:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -qa 'firefox.*'
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>It is also possible to see the <emphasis>status</emphasis> of
|
||||
available packages, i.e., whether they are installed into the user
|
||||
environment and/or present in the system:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -qas
|
||||
…
|
||||
-PS bash-3.0
|
||||
--S binutils-2.15
|
||||
IPS bison-1.875d
|
||||
…</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The first character (<literal>I</literal>) indicates whether the
|
||||
package is installed in your current user environment. The second
|
||||
(<literal>P</literal>) indicates whether it is present on your system
|
||||
(in which case installing it into your user environment would be a
|
||||
very quick operation). The last one (<literal>S</literal>) indicates
|
||||
whether there is a so-called <emphasis>substitute</emphasis> for the
|
||||
package, which is Nix’s mechanism for doing binary deployment. It
|
||||
just means that Nix knows that it can fetch a pre-built package from
|
||||
somewhere (typically a network server) instead of building it
|
||||
locally.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can install a package using <literal>nix-env -i</literal>.
|
||||
For instance,
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -i subversion</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
will install the package called <literal>subversion</literal> (which
|
||||
is, of course, the <link
|
||||
xlink:href='http://subversion.tigris.org/'>Subversion version
|
||||
management system</link>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<note><para>When you ask Nix to install a package, it will first try
|
||||
to get it in pre-compiled form from a <emphasis>binary
|
||||
cache</emphasis>. By default, Nix will use the binary cache
|
||||
<uri>https://cache.nixos.org</uri>; it contains binaries for most
|
||||
packages in Nixpkgs. Only if no binary is available in the binary
|
||||
cache, Nix will build the package from source. So if <literal>nix-env
|
||||
-i subversion</literal> results in Nix building stuff from source,
|
||||
then either the package is not built for your platform by the Nixpkgs
|
||||
build servers, or your version of Nixpkgs is too old or too new. For
|
||||
instance, if you have a very recent checkout of Nixpkgs, then the
|
||||
Nixpkgs build servers may not have had a chance to build everything
|
||||
and upload the resulting binaries to
|
||||
<uri>https://cache.nixos.org</uri>. The Nixpkgs channel is only
|
||||
updated after all binaries have been uploaded to the cache, so if you
|
||||
stick to the Nixpkgs channel (rather than using a Git checkout of the
|
||||
Nixpkgs tree), you will get binaries for most packages.</para></note>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Naturally, packages can also be uninstalled:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -e subversion</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Upgrading to a new version is just as easy. If you have a new
|
||||
release of Nix Packages, you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -u subversion</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
This will <emphasis>only</emphasis> upgrade Subversion if there is a
|
||||
“newer” version in the new set of Nix expressions, as
|
||||
defined by some pretty arbitrary rules regarding ordering of version
|
||||
numbers (which generally do what you’d expect of them). To just
|
||||
unconditionally replace Subversion with whatever version is in the Nix
|
||||
expressions, use <parameter>-i</parameter> instead of
|
||||
<parameter>-u</parameter>; <parameter>-i</parameter> will remove
|
||||
whatever version is already installed.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can also upgrade all packages for which there are newer
|
||||
versions:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -u</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Sometimes it’s useful to be able to ask what
|
||||
<command>nix-env</command> would do, without actually doing it. For
|
||||
instance, to find out what packages would be upgraded by
|
||||
<literal>nix-env -u</literal>, you can do
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -u --dry-run
|
||||
(dry run; not doing anything)
|
||||
upgrading `libxslt-1.1.0' to `libxslt-1.1.10'
|
||||
upgrading `graphviz-1.10' to `graphviz-1.12'
|
||||
upgrading `coreutils-5.0' to `coreutils-5.2.1'</screen>
|
||||

<title>Serving a Nix store via HTTP</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can easily share the Nix store of a machine via HTTP. This
|
||||
allows other machines to fetch store paths from that machine to speed
|
||||
up installations. It uses the same <emphasis>binary cache</emphasis>
|
||||
mechanism that Nix usually uses to fetch pre-built binaries from
|
||||
<uri>https://cache.nixos.org</uri>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The daemon that handles binary cache requests via HTTP,
|
||||
<command>nix-serve</command>, is not part of the Nix distribution, but
|
||||
you can install it from Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -i nix-serve
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
You can then start the server, listening for HTTP connections on
|
||||
whatever port you like:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-serve -p 8080
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
To check whether it works, try the following on the client:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ curl http://avalon:8080/nix-cache-info
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
which should print something like:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
StoreDir: /nix/store
|
||||
WantMassQuery: 1
|
||||
Priority: 30
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>On the client side, you can tell Nix to use your binary cache
|
||||
using <option>--option extra-binary-caches</option>, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-env -i firefox --option extra-binary-caches http://avalon:8080/
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The option <option>extra-binary-caches</option> tells Nix to use this
|
||||
binary cache in addition to your default caches, such as

<uri>https://cache.nixos.org</uri>. Thus, for any path in the closure
|

of Firefox, Nix will first check if the path is available on the

server <literal>avalon</literal> or another binary caches. If not, it
|

will fall back to building from source.</para>

<para>You can also tell Nix to always use your binary cache by adding
|
||||
a line to the <filename linkend="sec-conf-file">nix.conf</filename>
|
||||
configuration file like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
binary-caches = http://avalon:8080/ https://cache.nixos.org/
|

</programlisting>
