Eelco Dolstra 9856efc7b0 * Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binaries
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no
  RPMs/Debs available.
2009-03-26 12:22:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5dd8fb2069 * Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is
  too large for "long" type').
2009-03-26 11:02:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92f525ecf4 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by
default.  This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-25 21:05:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7024a1ef07 * Removed the locking.sh test; it's redundant because of the extended
parallel.sh test.  Also, don't call multiple nix-builds in parallel,
  since they can race creating .nix-build-tmp-derivation.

Eelco Dolstra 8146a0c731 * Use bash in the tests. 2009-03-25 16:11:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a046858a22 * Doh. 2009-03-24 23:40:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 12c8c64efa 2009-03-24 14:07:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7aedcf9460 * Make this test a bit more robust. It's still timing dependent
though.
2009-03-23 15:16:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a87163b24 * Shut up a GCC warning. 2009-03-23 13:52:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cacff1be88 * No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. Instead
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main
  select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again).
  This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both
  trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't
  block; it should first see if it can build other goals.  Also, it
  prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately,
  where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's
  waiting for a lock held by the first.

  The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't
  provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop.  The only
  solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking
  fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require
  pthreads.

Eelco Dolstra 58969fa2bf * Refactoring. 2009-03-22 23:53:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7b2d11255 * Test case (currently fails): multiple Nix builds shouldn't block
waiting on the same lock when there are other builds that can be
  done.
2009-03-22 23:16:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a57b2920b * Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbage
(previously it would likely say "implementation cannot deal with >
  32-bit integers").
2009-03-22 17:51:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7e05b8b75e * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19 10:02:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b88460bcbc * Disregard the Hash field in manifests. 2009-03-19 09:47:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2897286487 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation.  That
  is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
  and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
  might fail, for example).  This is ensured at instantiation time by
  adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.

Eelco Dolstra e530e0a350 * Improve the test. 2009-03-18 16:36:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9485ec31ea * Better cleanup after tests. 2009-03-18 16:35:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 13df3915ef * Missing file. 2009-03-18 16:23:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c183ee5c79 * Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the build
hook.  This fixes a problem with log files being partially or
  completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process
  truncates the log file.  It should also be more efficient.
2009-03-18 14:48:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1dcf208f56 * Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate). 2009-03-18 13:15:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93b6926054 * Regression test for exportBuildReferencesGraph. It currently fails. 2009-03-17 17:38:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 51e7e32c3b * Refactoring: renamed *.nix.in to *.nix. 2009-03-17 17:11:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d5114452d * Regression test for the `exportReferencesGraph'
derivation attribute.

Eelco Dolstra 1273d355ac * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests. 2009-02-27 14:06:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4ca5c3952 * Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful when
the size of the download isn't known in advance.

Eelco Dolstra fd2e14b3c8 * nix-build: support --option. 2009-02-27 12:09:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 60cb7de336 * Allow options from the Nix config file to be overriden from the
command line (e.g. "--option build-use-chroot true").

Eelco Dolstra 8ab6bc5a49 * nix-channel: use nix-build. 2009-02-27 11:01:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f052c10eed * Check the manifest version. 2009-02-27 09:53:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a7cee528c5 * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests. 2009-02-26 21:12:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 041717eda3 * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
  path.

  When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
  does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
  from the server.  Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
  bzipped NAR archive.  However, the server does know the hash of the
  *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
  in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla).  So we use
  that instead for checking the integrity of the download.

Michael Raskin 621093cb1c Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution 2009-02-19 20:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 824b154ce8 * Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs.  Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
  then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes.  With
  --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
  of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
  Nixpkgs).  Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
  build it again  until the lock is released.
  
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
  manner for failed top-level derivation goals.  So if there were more
  than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
  having run out of build users.

Eelco Dolstra 1bb0f1e84b * Build hook: compress the transferred data. 2009-02-03 10:34:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.

2009-01-27 13:36:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 019176137f * When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the
  builder failed).  This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it
  makes sense to retry a build).
