Eelco Dolstra 167e36a5c3 nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist

in the binary cache.

Eelco Dolstra d059bf48e4 Pass configuration settings to the substituters
Previously substituters could read nix.conf themselves, but this
didn't take --option flags into account.

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 220818f758 queryPathInfo(): return hash in base-32 if desired
Cherry-picked from the no-manifests branch.

Eelco Dolstra 4911a10a4e Use XZ compression in binary caches
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2.  Here are the
compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on
my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB):

  bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08]
  xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53]
  xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19]
  xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18]
  xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40]

Note that compression takes much longer.  More importantly, however,
decompression is much faster:

  bzip2: 1m47.274s
  xz -6: 0m55.446s
  xz -7: 0m54.119s
  xz -8: 0m52.388s
  xz -9: 0m51.842s

The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair
amount (~65 MB) of memory.

Eelco Dolstra 4f7bab7db1 Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on
platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.

Eelco Dolstra 464089365e Fix some 32-bit builds
Perl on some 32-bit systems needs -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.  See also commit
02f1363e19.

Eelco Dolstra c6acb219f9 Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGS
This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380).
Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.

Eelco Dolstra 7f38087f35 Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation
This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given
derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from
the derivation.  This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise
the environment further.

The current directory is not changed.  Thus this is a convenient way
to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree.

Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the
derivation overrides them).  As a special hack, the original value of
$PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup.

Example session:

$ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm
(the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...)
$ tar xf $src
$ ./configure
$ make
$ emacs
(... hack source ...)
$ make
$ ./xterm

Eelco Dolstra d645633643 nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout
We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout
afterwards is kind of useless.

Eelco Dolstra 2b4964f319 Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure 2012-03-05 18:13:44 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra ddd0ce534a * Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp. 2012-01-18 16:43:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 02f1363e19 * Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a
  rather unhelpful error message:

    Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm

  This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes
  various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter
  expects.

Eelco Dolstra 7ae763e16b * ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension on
Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.

Ludovic Courtès c5d9ccd810 perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'. 2012-01-11 16:44:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f86fca9b70 * Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so. 2012-01-11 15:41:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a7366a764a * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other
scripts.
* Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is
  at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will
  run on another version.
2012-01-05 20:33:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6c31232e14 * Sync with the trunk. 2012-01-03 12:59:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 502d94048a * Ignore missing manifest symlinks. 2012-01-03 12:59:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39d45a6b09 * Add a test for nix-channel.
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03 01:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92d6a5ed73 * Add some more functions to the Perl bindings. 2011-12-02 12:09:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f35c4351e5 * Don't require a specific Perl version. 2011-11-29 22:15:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d0407ba08 * Fix make check. 2011-11-29 13:38:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1749a7b0ae * download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings. 2011-11-29 13:01:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 216440b3ff * For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes in
base-32.  (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-29 12:32:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5bbd693cae * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
  ‘nix-copy-closure --to’.  This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23 15:13:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab20af3e6f * build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix. 2011-11-23 12:21:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 993fa94fb4 * Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to
libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well.  It's vital
  that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise
  nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the
  value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-22 17:28:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8e609c341 * nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of
  paths.  This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding
  up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16 16:41:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7d7910ba4 * Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to
  fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16 16:25:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 63ee5e4d2a * Remove obsolete line. 2011-11-16 11:56:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a5952405d2 * Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cache
DB.  This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my
  system.
2011-11-16 11:37:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6761757428 * Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure. 2011-10-11 15:41:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c362e4d718 * Move SSH.pm. 2011-10-11 11:45:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a2a317eb0b * Distribute GeneratePatches.pm. 2011-10-11 09:31:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fcdbcac20 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under
the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10 21:11:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73fe6871c4 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the
bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts.

  The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really
  like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
