Eelco Dolstra 1307b22223 * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path
being copied 3 times in the worst case.  It doesn't run in constant space,
  but it didn't do that anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 64519cfd65 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
  
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

Eelco Dolstra a55113411f * Nix daemon: reload the configuration file after forking (NIX-100). 2008-11-20 12:25:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e13da525a7 * Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files
and don't indicate path validity.
2008-11-19 16:27:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fedb7aa0f * Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents
subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes
  either barf with a "Broken pipe" message or not, depending on the
  exact timing conditions.  This particularly happened in GNU M4 (and
  Bison, which uses M4).
2008-11-14 15:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a519bb0635 * Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor
build progress.
2008-11-12 11:08:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96598e7b06 * Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon. 2008-11-11 15:11:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4166b11a53 * Add /dev/pts to the default nix.conf. 2008-11-11 14:59:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 709b55ee02 * Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of
disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts.  Will try the
  definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the
  CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time.
2008-10-29 15:34:48 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès c98ea254dc libstore: Always mount `/dev/pts' individually.
This fixes problems such as Tcl's PTY handling:

  ERROR: The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to
  create more.
2008-10-16 21:04:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d6d50269b * Bug fix for building on some old installations (contributed by Pjotr). 2008-10-16 14:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f32fef1b07 * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last
accessed time of paths that may be deleted.  Anything more recently
  used won't be deleted.  The time is specified in time_t,
  e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to
  convert to time_t from the command line. 

  Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two
  months:

  $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
2008-09-17 14:52:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4af2fdba6d * Typo. 2008-09-17 13:00:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c987061aa4 * Some refactoring. Better output with `-v' for --use-atime. 2008-09-17 12:54:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7ab68961e4 * Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time.  This is useful in conjunction
  with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
  garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
  may become live again.

  The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
  ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
  priority queue in collectGarbage().
2008-09-17 10:02:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7718b19389 * Explicitly set PWD to prevent problems with chroot builds. In
particular, dietlibc cannot figure out the cwd because the inode of
  the current directory doesn't appear in .. (because getdents returns
  the inode of the mount point).
2008-08-27 17:20:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9cc0da8453 * Create a /tmp with 1777 permission in the chroot. Some builders
need a writable /tmp (they don't respect $TMPDIR).
2008-08-27 16:03:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d06be428f6 * Disable chroot builds for fixed-output derivations so that we don't
need /etc in the chroot (in particular, /etc/resolv.conf for
  fetchurl).  Not having /etc/resolv.conf in the chroot is a good
  thing, since we don't want normal derivations to download files.
2008-08-25 15:49:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b428adc267 * Strip off the `.nix' suffix from the attribute name for files in
~/.nix-defexpr,  otherwise the attribute cannot be selected with the
  `-A' option.  Useful if you want to stick a Nix expression directly
  in ~/.nix-defexpr.
2008-08-25 13:31:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db4f4a8425 * Backward compatibility check to prevent nixos-rebuild from barfing
when upgrading Nix.
2008-08-14 13:02:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c03b729319 * Increase the sleep periods a bit to make the test less likely to
fail on slow machines.  Of course it would be better if this test
  wasn't timing dependent...
2008-08-14 09:26:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 98b07466fb * Better error checking of the data from the substituters. 2008-08-05 10:57:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5adbb0aabe * build.cc: only use a substituter if it returns info for a path. 2008-08-04 13:15:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c4f98941ed * nix-env --dry-run: show the total size of the substituter
downloads.
2008-08-04 12:29:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 03427e76f1 * querySubstitutablePathInfo: work properly when run via the daemon.
* --dry-run: print the paths that we don't know how to build/substitute.
2008-08-04 11:44:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3c92ea399d * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again.  (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
  didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
  paths.)  This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
  are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
  stdin/stdout.
2008-08-02 12:54:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 989176c56e * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix
  daemon).
2008-07-18 15:34:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6c8641a542 2008-06-18 19:17:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3aa183beb * Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least N
bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store
  directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important
  for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories
  limit).
2008-06-18 14:20:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a8f3b02092 * `nix-store --optimise': handle files with >= 32000 hard links.
(There can easily be more than 32000 occurrences of the empty file.)
2008-06-18 14:13:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a72709afd8 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-18 09:34:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 94fd46fa1c * Note. 2008-06-14 16:02:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 826b271d9a * Garbage collector: don't do a complete topological sort of the Nix
store under the reference relation, since that means that the
  garbage collector will need a long time to start deleting paths.
  Instead just delete the referrers of a path first.
2008-06-13 18:25:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 30c9f909b2 * Print some progress info during the early GC stages. 2008-06-13 17:21:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bd955e15e1 * GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour and
Armijn Hemel.
2008-05-21 11:17:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 72034ab35d * sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.
This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail
  when performed in a directory with a very long path name.  So chdir
  to the socket directory and use a relative path name.
2008-04-09 05:57:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 329025253d * Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of
/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories.  This
  increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path
  in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.
2008-03-27 13:45:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f789ea1d09 * A transaction is unnecessary since the path cannot be
garbage-collected (it's a temporary root).
2008-03-01 21:05:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 66c51dc215 * nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.
* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of
  each path.
* Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2008-01-29 18:17:36 +00:00
Michael Raskin 5eb5c23447 Fixed exportBuildReferenceGraph 2008-01-15 04:32:08 +00:00
Michael Raskin 2196cb67c5 Added a way to include derivation with its outputs and dependencies - exportBuildReferenceGraph 2007-12-30 09:30:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 633518628f * nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)

  or

    $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132

* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
  path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store.  This allows
  things like

    $ nix-build -A firefox
    $ nix-env -i ./result

* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
  anything.  In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
  empty profile.
2007-11-29 16:18:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c370755583 * Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.
* queryDeriver in daemon mode: don't barf if the other side returns an
  empty string (which means there is no deriver).
2007-11-16 16:15:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 149e273023 * Don't need gc.hh. 2007-11-15 15:07:27 +00:00
Michael Raskin 6fc60e2060 Added possibility to specify garbage collection levels for store paths; so packages can share intermediate results of compilation and GC will collect it automatically while never touching tarballs, for example. 2007-11-15 03:47:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 42d80d1170 * On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h. 2007-10-29 10:03:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d91cd30563 * Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available. 2007-10-27 16:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc6f373842 * Delete the chroot directory automatically.
* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27 16:06:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9397cd30c8 * Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is
executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary
  build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories
  (/dev and /proc by default).  This allows a bit more purity
  enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as
  /usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible.  As an added
  benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented
  as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in
  the chroot).

  However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that
  many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of
  additional directories.  (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as
  well...)
