Eelco Dolstra 3a8f841612 download-using-manifests: Don't use nix-prefetch-url
Instead call curl directly and pipe it into ‘nix-store --restore’.
This saves I/O and prevents creating garbage in the Nix store.

Eelco Dolstra 2605f4f4e6 nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installations
Commit 6a214f3e06 reused the NixOS
environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is
inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.

Shea Levy f5954e2d94 prim_import: When importing .drvs, allocate the intermediate attrset on the heap just in case it escapes the stack frame. 2012-07-25 09:30:17 -04:00
Shea Levy 1ef2d5765b Turn tests back on 2012-07-25 09:30:17 -04:00
Shea Levy b1112bbef1 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation attrset.
The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with
the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output.

I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more):

* Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix)

* Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver
  for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed
  in environment.systemPackages, for example.

* Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an
  input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH
  (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build
  being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this
  feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

Eelco Dolstra 0f65793f94 Add a test for Nix store optimisation 2012-07-23 17:40:23 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 680ab6f83d Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links
Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links
to all files in the store.  However, this means that if we delete a
store path, no files are actually deleted because links in
/nix/store/.links still exists.  So we need to check /nix/store/.links
for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.

Eelco Dolstra 6193105710 Automatically optimise the Nix store when a new path is added
Auto-optimisation is enabled by default.  It can be turned off by
setting auto-optimise-store to false in nix.conf.

Eelco Dolstra 564fb7d9fa optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links.  For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link

  P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>

to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'.  This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered.  It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

Eelco Dolstra ccc52adfb2 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5").  (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.)  However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory.  queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

Eelco Dolstra b74d92755d download-from-binary-cache: Use HEAD requests if possible
In "nix-env -qas", we don't need the substitute info, we just need to
know if it exists.  This can be done using a HTTP HEAD request, which
saves bandwidth.

Note however that curl currently has a bug that prevents it from
reusing HTTP connections if HEAD requests return a 404:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3542731&group_id=976&atid=100976

Without the patch attached to the issue, using HEAD is actually quite
a bit slower than GET.

Eelco Dolstra 09a6321aeb Replace hasSubstitutes() with querySubstitutablePaths()
querySubstitutablePaths() takes a set of paths, so this greatly
reduces daemon <-> client latency.
2012-07-11 17:52:18 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 58ef4d9a95 Add a function queryValidPaths()
queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one.
This matters when using the Nix daemon because it reduces latency.
For instance, on "nix-env -qas \*" it reduces execution time from 5.7s
to 4.7s (which is indistinguishable from the non-daemon case).
