builtins.fetchgit: Support importing a working tree
For example, you can write

  src = fetchgit ./.;

and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".

Andy Wingo 6bb4e3e8fe Remove unused decodeOctalEscaped
Besides being unused, this function has a bug that it will incorrectly
decode the path component Ubuntu\04016.04.2\040LTS\040amd64 as
"Ubuntu.04.2 LTS amd64" instead of "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64".

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).

Kill builds when we get EOF on the log FD
This closes a long-time bug that allowed builds to hang Nix
indefinitely (regardless of timeouts) simply by doing

  exec > /dev/null 2>&1; while true; do true; done

Now, on EOF, we just send SIGKILL to the child to make sure it's
really gone.

Fix S3BinaryCacheStore
It failed with

   AWS error uploading ‘6gaxphsyhg66mz0a00qghf9nqf7majs2.ls.xz’: Unable to parse ExceptionName: MissingContentLength Message: You must provide the Content-Length HTTP header.

possibly because the istringstream_nocopy introduced in
0d2ebb4373 doesn't supply the seek
method that the AWS library expects. So bring back the old version,
but only for S3BinaryCacheStore.

Eelco Dolstra 4de0639105 nix-shell: Fix $PATH handling in the impure case
We were passing "p=$PATH" rather than "p=$PATH;", resulting in some
invalid shell code.

Also, construct a separate environment for the child rather than
overwriting the parent's.
2016-09-20 15:41:41 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 75989bdca7 Make computeFSClosure() single-threaded again
The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a
thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end
up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of
threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of
queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the
result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than
returning a future.

Thus, a command like

  nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5

that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main
thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed
CloudFront.)

Eelco Dolstra ab3ce1cc13 Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs
The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is

Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then
the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.

Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in

Example use:

$ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird)

Eelco Dolstra c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

Eelco Dolstra e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA

specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

Eelco Dolstra a3e5c99d66 nix-daemon: Call exit(), not _exit()
This was preventing destructors from running. In particular, it was

growth on Hydra (due to the SQLite database not being closed
properly).

Eelco Dolstra 9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Eelco Dolstra 49009573bc Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:

  unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed

coming from this line:

  printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));

The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially.  I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.

Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens.  So you don't have to worry about % in statements like

  printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);

or

  throw Error("foo: " + s);

Eelco Dolstra b33da599c5 * In the garbage collector, delete invalid paths before deleting
unreachable paths.  This matters when using --max-freed etc.:
  unreachable paths could become reachable again, so it's nicer to
  keep them if there is "real" garbage to be deleted.  Also, don't use
  readDirectory() but read the Nix store and delete invalid paths in
  parallel.  This reduces GC latency on very large Nix stores.
2011-12-22 15:55:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 100becf8d1 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a
directory.
* Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-12-13 13:32:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 766f708418 * Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.

    requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];

  We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
  support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support.  Probably
  this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-27 13:18:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aa45027818 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-05-12 22:13:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra efc7a579e8 * Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files. 2010-04-19 13:46:58 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra fb6e223ddc * Synced with the trunk. 2010-03-04 12:15:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84a4dd5ff0 * Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.
* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not
  installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-24 15:46:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5954eadf67 * Remove the fdatasync check since it's no longer needed. 2010-02-24 12:16:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2723d9b56e * If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync(). 2010-02-02 11:57:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07ffdc2862 * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
  same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29 12:22:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef92a14bfe * Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.  Without it, functions like stat() fail on
  large file sizes.  This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:

  $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
  error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

  $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds
  File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024   regular empty file

  (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
  to fail.)

Eelco Dolstra 13618b191e * Grrr. 2009-11-24 13:28:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aa5a768720 * GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macro
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24 12:56:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9b8fda796b * Templatise getIntArg / string2Int. 2009-11-24 12:26:25 +00:00
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 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 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 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 5af84139a8 * --max-freed: support values >= 4 GB. 2008-06-18 15:20:33 +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 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 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 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...)
2007-10-27 00:46:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
2007-08-12 00:29:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cbfac2fdcc * Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB
environment cleanly even when an exception is thrown from a
  destructor.  We still crash, but we don't take all other Nix
  processes with us.
2007-05-01 15:16:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ab229ddf2 * Terminate build hooks and substitutes with a TERM signal, not a KILL
signal.  This is necessary because those processes may have joined
  the BDB environment, so they have to be given a chance to clean up.
  (NIX-85)
2007-03-19 12:48:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43c4d18c6a * nix-store --import': import an archive created by nix-store
--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic
  signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub.  (TODO: verify
  against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21 15:45:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46e0919ced * `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key
in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12 23:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a82d80ddeb * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil. 2006-12-07 16:40:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0130ef88ea * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket.  The
  server forks a worker process per connection.
* readString(): use the heap, not the stack.
* Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-04 17:17:13 +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 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 c6a97e3b74 * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.
(NIX-70)
2006-11-24 20:24:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bafc1690fc * Move setuid stuff to libutil.
* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04 22:55:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2132d9ddeb * Fix the ~ operator. 2006-08-29 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a6080eb14 * Refactoring. 2006-08-26 16:48:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
