Support netrc in <nix/fetchurl.nix>
This allows <nix/fetchurl.nix> to fetch private Git/Mercurial
repositories, e.g.

  import <nix/fetchurl.nix> {
    url = https://edolstra@bitbucket.org/edolstra/my-private-repo/get/80a14018daed.tar.bz2;
    sha256 = "1mgqzn7biqkq3hf2697b0jc4wabkqhmzq2srdymjfa6sb9zb6qs7";
  }

where /etc/nix/netrc contains:

  machine bitbucket.org
  login edolstra
  password blabla...

This works even when sandboxing is enabled.

To do: add unpacking support (i.e. fetchzip functionality).

Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"
This reverts commit f78126bfd6. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Eelco Dolstra 90ad02bf62 Enable HTTP/2 support
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much
more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many
requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer
necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by
default).

For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from
https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s
with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2.

This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class
to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be
able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse
even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker
thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker
thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.

Eelco Dolstra f2682e6e18 <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Use tarballs.nixos.org
This ensures that the disappearance of upstream bootstrap tarballs
(e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/pull/1) doesn't break
stdenv rebuilds.

Eelco Dolstra 7850d3d279 Make the store directory a member variable of Store 2016-06-01 16:24:17 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 538a64e8c3 Add a Store::addToStore() variant that accepts a NAR
As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when
copying paths between stores.

Also refactored import/export to make use of this.

Eelco Dolstra d1b0909894 BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a string
This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and
might eliminate some large string copying.

Eelco Dolstra e9c50064b5 Add an HTTP binary cache store
Allowing stuff like

  NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store -qR /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1

or

  NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --export /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 | nix-store --import

Eelco Dolstra 1f735a3440 <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support xz-compressed NARs 2015-10-30 12:34:30 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra dae5dc7ade <nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support downloading and unpacking NARs
This removes the need to have multiple downloads in the stdenv
bootstrap process (like a separate busybox binary for Linux, or
curl/mkdir/sh/bzip2 for Darwin). Now all those files can be combined
into a single NAR.

Eelco Dolstra 5db358d4d7 Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurl
This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work
in chroots. We don't need verification because the hash of the result
is checked anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 0a2bee307b Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.
