Eelco Dolstra 57e0d73c77 * build-remote.pl: allow the system type to be a comma-separated list
of system types.  Don't treat the x86_64-linux system type
  specially.

Eelco Dolstra c710fe540e * Machines of type x86_64-linux can do i686-linux builds. 2009-04-21 12:42:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096affb55b * Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slot
was last used.

Eelco Dolstra 737423a89c * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it
  accepts the build).
* build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than
  the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first*
  machine of the appropriate type.

Eelco Dolstra 47706e3924 * nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,
which is much faster.

Eelco Dolstra 3a2bbe7f8a * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28 19:29:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7fb548aa26 * Clean up the output a bit. 2009-03-28 16:12:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1bb0f1e84b * Build hook: compress the transferred data. 2009-02-03 10:34:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.

Eelco Dolstra 019176137f * When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the
  builder failed).  This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it
  makes sense to retry a build).

Eelco Dolstra 9ac3f5df9c * Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines. 2008-12-04 16:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bcfe98acff * Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This
makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store
  invocation will lead to at least one local build.  Will come up with
  a better solution later...

Eelco Dolstra 909fbb9de1 * When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
  otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
  are no running children").  So inform the build hook when this is
  the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
  the maximum load on a machine.

Eelco Dolstra 5dfba0b4db * Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remote
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04 13:36:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fd9c4c635 * Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machine
list like

    root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
    root@example.org i686-darwin  /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1

  This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has
  remote builds enabled.

Eelco Dolstra bfec245efa * Add build-remote.pl to the Nix distribution. 2007-11-15 14:28:08 +00:00
