Eelco Dolstra 363f40022f * Pid::kill() should be interruptable. 2006-12-03 02:12:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7951c3c546 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the
client.
2006-12-03 02:08:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e25fad691a * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing
  write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-02 16:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 536595b072 * Remove most of the old setuid code.
* Much simpler setuid code for the worker in slave mode.
2006-12-02 15:45:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0565b5f2b3 * More remote operations.
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than
  querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30 22:43:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 765bdfe542 * When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave
mode.  Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
  The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
  the caller can be completely unprivileged.

  This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
  the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
  Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
  files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
  store operations.

  Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
  a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
  That would be even more secure.
2006-11-30 19:54:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80b742dd52 * Don't spam. 2006-11-29 22:07:49 +00:00
Roy van den Broek 92417600a1 * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation. 2006-11-29 21:58:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71e867c5f5 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
  platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
  FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
  binaries.
2006-11-29 21:06:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c6a97e3b74 * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.
(NIX-70)
2006-11-24 20:24:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8478cd260f * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files. 2006-10-30 11:56:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00

* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04 22:55:28 +00:00

2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00

normalised away.
2006-08-24 15:02:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18e4ac0fc6 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XML
representation instead of an ATerm.
* Indent XML output.
2006-08-16 10:32:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dcff8cdb76 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order. 2006-08-04 16:01:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 339e6f0e1d * `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easier
automated processing.
2006-08-03 15:52:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e267e2625 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that the
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03 14:49:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4750f6c5ed * Simple class for writing XML files. 2006-08-03 13:21:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-20 12:17:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d51aede4af * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in the
Nix config file.
2006-07-06 15:30:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e783e5579 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-19 14:37:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b454977909 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-06-14 11:53:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d764409d97 * Some Cygwin fixes. 2006-05-24 13:23:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d72bf8835 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon
64 running 64-bit SUSE).  A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix
  succesfully.
2006-05-11 02:19:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c54287eafe * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2006-05-08 15:15:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 12:52:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 310e605995 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1. 2006-05-08 10:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18c321308d * Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used
ostringstreams.  Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now
  it's 0.5%).
2006-03-09 17:07:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9088dee9e2 * Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch
Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-03-08 14:11:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e136532800 * Ouch, parseHash32 was completely broken. All digits >= 4 were
parsed as 4.

  For a moment I worried that printHash32 was broken, and that would
  have been really, *really* bad ;-)
2006-03-01 17:59:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6f586d0ea * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256.  The main benefit is that
  we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though
  not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately).  OpenSSL's SHA-1
  implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-13 19:52:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e8475bbd5b * Use a union. 2006-02-13 18:00:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8291f6d968 * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2. 2006-02-01 16:48:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5b527901ae * dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26. 2006-01-09 14:52:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 04be39734f * Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporary
build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp).  Fixes NIX-26.
2006-01-08 17:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 530b27df1e * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout
(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-12-15 21:11:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b7f008fc35 * Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now
much faster.
2005-11-16 08:27:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4578a490ce * Parse multi-valued options. 2005-09-22 15:43:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c20a08293 * Build dynamic libraries. 2005-07-22 14:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26fd28432d * FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which is
also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04 16:32:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6d9033a1 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95
compatibility fix.
2005-05-04 16:29:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c6178f0b03 * Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reported
by Rob).
2005-03-24 17:46:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cff6bc06df * Fix endianness bug. 2005-03-23 19:18:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4bbdcfbb45 * Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer. 2005-03-03 13:58:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 20ce2642fc * Refactoring to support different installation sources in nix-env.
* Set the references for the user environment manifest properly.
* Don't copy the manifest (this was accidental).
* Don't store derivation paths in the manifest (maybe this should be
  made optional).  This cleans up the semantics of nix-env, which were
  weird.
* Hash on the output paths of activated components, not on derivation
  paths.  This is because we don't know the derivation path of already
  installed components anymore, and it allows the installation of
  components by store path (skipping Nix expressions entirely).
* Query options `--out-path' and `--drv-path' to show the output and
  derivation paths of components, respectively (the latter replaces
  the `--expr' query).
2005-02-11 16:56:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 582e01c06f * Automatically upgrade <= 0.7 Nix stores to the new schema (so that
existing user environments continue to work).
* `nix-store --verify': detect incomplete closures.
2005-02-09 09:50:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a37338815d * A GC setting `gc-keep-outputs' to specify whether output paths of
derivations should be kept.
2005-02-01 22:07:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 630ae0c9d7 * nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users to
get rid of GC roots.  Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the
  current directory.  Previously, removing that symlink would not
  remove the store path being linked to as a GC root.  Now, the GC
  root created by nix-build is actually a symlink in
  `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto' to `result'.  So if that symlink is
  removed the GC root automatically becomes invalid (since it can no
  longer be resolved).  The root itself is not automatically removed -
  the garbage collector should delete dangling roots.
2005-02-01 13:48:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 252c9c91ab * Topologically sort paths under the references relation to ensure
that they are deleted in an order that maintains the closure
  invariant.
* Presence of a path in a temporary roots file does not imply that all
  paths in its closure are also present, so add the closure.
2005-01-31 14:00:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1328aa3307 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
  while holding a write lock on that file.  The garbage collector
  acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
  progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
  roots.
2005-01-31 10:27:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 59682e6188 * Make lock removal safe by signalling to blocked processes that the
lock they are waiting on has become stale (we do this by writing a
  meaningless token to the unlinked file).
2005-01-27 12:19:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 05f0430de1 * Another change to low-level derivations. The last one this year, I
promise :-) This allows derivations to specify on *what* output
  paths of input derivations they are dependent.  This helps to
  prevent unnecessary downloads.  For instance, a build might be
  dependent on the `devel' and `lib' outputs of some library
  component, but not the `docs' output.
2005-01-20 14:10:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3dc231250 * Removed the `id' attribute hack.
* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
  for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
  Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
  dependency graph.  Previously this was done by specifying the hash
  component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
  insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
  and then produce a completely different output).  Now the
  responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
  Nix itself.

  A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
  `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
  values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
  actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
  at the length of the attribute value).  MD5 is included for
  compatibility but should be considered deprecated.

* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results.  It's
  no longer necessary.

* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
  expressions.  Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
  `devel', `docs').  Previously there was no way to tell output paths
  apart at the store expression level.

* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
  be printed in base-32 notation.

* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
  `md5'.

* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32.  (TODO: a
  flag to specify the hash.)
2005-01-17 16:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d58a11e019 * Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits
  and letters except e, o, u, and t).  This produces store paths like
  /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1.  The nice
  thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32
  characters, as before with MD5.

  (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than
  SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to
  attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
2005-01-14 16:04:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9530cc3170 * Start move towards SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5.
* Start cleaning up unique store path generation (they weren't always
  unique; in particular the suffix ("-aterm-2.2", "-builder.sh") was
  not part of the hash, therefore changes to the suffix would cause
  multiple store objects with the same hash).
2005-01-14 13:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 63791eb05b * Add SHA-256.
* Tests for the various hashes.
2005-01-14 12:03:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37b51a9aa6 * Removed some dead code. 2005-01-14 10:16:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7e8961f720 * Added SHA-1 support. nix-hash' now has an option --type sha1' to
select SHA-1 hashing.
2005-01-13 17:39:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73992371a3 * Refactoring to support SHA-1. 2005-01-13 15:44:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92ee003dc9 * Fix broken format string. 2004-11-08 15:20:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cb7ccb528b * string2ATerm -> overloaded toATerm. 2004-11-03 18:12:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a69534fc21 * Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions. 2004-10-29 11:22:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dcc433de47 * Operation `--delete-generations' to delete generations of a
profile.  Arguments are either generation number, or `old' to delete
  all non-current generations.  Typical use:

  $ nix-env --delete-generations old
  $ nix-collect-garbage

* istringstream -> string2Int.
2004-09-10 13:32:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 47f87072ad * A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.
Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env
  etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user.  So for
  instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that
  the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so
  that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression.  Now we just
  switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and
  the like.  The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary,
  however.  Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in
  it is executed as the original user.

* Back out r1385.  setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new
  real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the
  original uid.  setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the
  manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it
  unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).
2004-09-09 21:12:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1eddee59f2 * The default verbosity level of all Nix commands is now lvlInfo.
* Builder output is written to standard error by default.
  * The option `-B' is gone.
  * The option `-Q' suppresses builder output.

The result of this is that most Nix invocations shouldn't need any
flags w.r.t. logging.
2004-08-18 12:19:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3a50f7e25 * Creating a file nix-support/no-scan in the output path of a
derivation disables scanning for dependencies.  Use at your own
  risk.  This is a quick hack to speed up UML image generation (image
  are very big, say 1 GB).

  It would be better if the scanner were faster, and didn't read the
  whole file into memory.
2004-08-04 09:25:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b113edeab7 * A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as
much as possible.  (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.)

* Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when
  a build failed, but now we have to clean up.  In particular this
  means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang
  around until the worker exits.  So the worker now maintains weak
  pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection.

* Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
2004-06-25 15:36:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 05a5362d63 * Some more diagnostics changes. 2004-06-22 17:04:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5e2cf44a4d * Put WEXITSTATUS stuff somewhere else. 2004-06-22 11:03:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c9fbd2dfd5 * Wrapper class around pids. 2004-06-22 09:51:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c4cb6ea2bc * Refactoring. 2004-06-22 08:50:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 85ae781765 * Refactoring. 2004-06-20 13:37:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b70231b9d * Refactoring. 2004-06-15 13:49:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c0b42f857 * An quick and dirty hack to support distributed builds. 2004-05-12 09:35:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aea436503e * Ignore interrupt signals while handling an exception.
* Ignore EINTR in reads and writes.
2004-05-11 13:48:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4779abc04 * Pass SYSTEM through config.h, and allow spaces. 2004-04-23 15:16:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8cd904e05 * Disallow the Nix store or any of its parents from being symlinks.
This is because the contents of these symlinks are not incorporated
  into the hashes of derivations, and could therefore cause a mismatch
  between the build system and the target system.  E.g., if
  `/nix/store' is a symlink to `/data/nix/store', then a builder could
  expand this path and store the result.  If on the target system
  `/nix/store' is not a symlink, or is a symlink that points somewhere
  else, we have a dangling pointer.

  The trigger for this change is that gcc 3.3.3 does exactly that (it
  applies realpath() to some files, such as libraries, which causes
  our impurity checker to bail out.)

  An annoying side-effect of this change is that it makes it harder to
  move the Nix store to a different file system.  On Linux, bind
  mounts can be used instead of symlink for this purpose (e.g., `mount

Eelco Dolstra f0f7a9f299 * Do not close a nesting level twice after close() has been
called explicitly on a Nest object.
2004-03-27 15:33:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7823db2137 * Some more nesting. 2004-03-22 21:42:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 777e13b94b * Nix now has three different formats for the log information it
writes to stderr:
  
  - `pretty': the old nested style (default)
  - `escapes': uses escape codes to indicate nesting and message
    level; can be processed using `log2xml'
  - `flat': just plain text, no nesting

  These can be set using `--log-type TYPE' or the NIX_LOG_TYPE
  environment variable.

Eelco Dolstra 0dfdafdf6d * Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library. 2004-02-16 16:37:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49bafe1faf * Use the profile pointed to by ~/.nix-profile if no --profile
argument is specified.
2004-02-06 10:59:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 447089a5f6 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt
Nix.  This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.

  Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
  signal handler.  In fact, you can't do much of anything except
  change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'.  So we set an
  interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
  strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
  Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
  loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

Eelco Dolstra 4a373a3e9a * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
  query commands.  For instance,

  $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix

  $ nix-env --query --available   [aka -qa]
  sylpheed-0.9.7
  bison-1.875
  pango-1.2.5
  subversion-0.35.1
  ...

  $ nix-env -i sylpheed

  $ nix-env -u subversion

  There can be only one default at a time.

* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
  prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.

Eelco Dolstra cf0287c09e * Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt

  to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if 
  the latter has a higher version number.  This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not 
  installed.  Wildcards are also accepted, so

    nix-env -u foo.nix '*'

  will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if 
  available.

  The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most 
  cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator:

    TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0);
    TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1);
    TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1);

  (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater)

* A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'.  This is 
  the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful 
  output, e.g.,

$ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'

Eelco Dolstra 83ffd4f282 * Fix `make check'. 2003-12-01 14:40:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-12-01 14:36:50 +00:00
