add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.

Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.

sandbox: fix /bin/sh on catalina
Sadly 10.15 changed /bin/sh to a shim which executes bash, this means it
can't be used anymore without also opening up the sandbox to allow bash.

    Failed to exec /bin/bash as variant for /bin/sh (1: Operation not permitted).

Before:

    warning: SQLite database '/nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite' is busy (SQLITE_PROTOCOL)
    warning: SQLite database '/nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite' is busy (SQLITE_PROTOCOL)

After:

    $ inst/bin/nix-channel --update
    unpacking channels...
    created 1 symlinks in user environment

I've seen complaints that "sandbox" caused problems under WSL but I'm
having no problems. I think recent changes could have fixed the issue.

Eelco Dolstra f8abbdd456 Add priority setting to stores
This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.

  $ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
    --substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'

Enable recursive Nix using a feature
Derivations that want to use recursion should now set

  requiredSystemFeatures = [ "recursive-nix" ];

to make the daemon socket appear.

Add experimental-features setting
Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one
experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more
quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely.

Typical usage:

$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello

(cherry picked from commit 8e478c2341,
without the "flakes" feature)

Eelco Dolstra 737ed88f35
Modularize config settings
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.

Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.

Matthew Bauer 8f186722a9 Set backup MANPATH in case man path isn’t set correctly.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:

nix-env --help

The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".

To test this, I’m using the following:

$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help

Remove the builder-files option
You can now include files via the "builders" option, using the syntax
"@<filename>". Having only one option makes it easier to override
builders completely.

For backward compatibility, the default is "@/etc/nix/machines", or
"@<filename>" for each file name in NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS.

nix: Make all options available as flags
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So

  --option http-connections 100

becomes

  --http-connections 100

Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.

Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.

  --option auto-optimise-store false

becomes

  --no-auto-optimise-store

Merge branch 'rework-options' of https://github.com/copumpkin/nix 2017-04-13 16:15:51 +02:00
Shea Levy 0bb8db257d Add exec primop behind allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation.
Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the
user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be
evaluated.

There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to
run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to:

* Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision
* git rev-parse HEAD
* Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from
  other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like
  cabal or npm
* Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops)
* Private repository fetching

Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to
nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these
tasks done.

The primop is only available when the
'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That
flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more
powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin
against the running version of nix).

Store: Add a method for getting build logs

from the binary cache.

this.

Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use
the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use
0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea
in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local
building.)

Fixes #1198.

Dan Peebles e7cb2847ab Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized ones
Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string
properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making
up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This
commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and
removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that.

Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we
now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing
subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full
set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line,
but I'm not doing that yet here.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 2cd468874f Include config.h implicitly with '-include config.h' in CFLAGS
Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not
every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of
Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM,
where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.

Shea Levy 4d652875bd Add the pre-build hook.
This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.

The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated

‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

Eelco Dolstra 276a40b31f Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems
When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.

The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.

Closes #119.

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

Eelco Dolstra ada3e3fa15 When running as root, use build users by default
This removes the need to have a nix.conf, and prevents people from
accidentally running Nix builds as root.

Eelco Dolstra 3fd01b171a Set up a minimal /dev in chroots
Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with
/dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.

Shea Levy df5de9dfd7 Add use-ssh-substituter setting.
It defaults to false and can be overridden by RemoteStore.

Untested currently, just quickly put this together

Shea Levy 64e23d0a38 Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.

This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:

* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
  remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

Eelco Dolstra 89e6781cc5 Make function calls show up in stack traces again
Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being
tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace
may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.

Eelco Dolstra 936f9d45ba Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

Eelco Dolstra efe4289464 Add an option to limit the log output of builders
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck
in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

Eelco Dolstra 9b11165aec Disable the copy-from-other-stores substituter
This substituter basically cannot work reliably since we switched to
SQLite, since SQLite databases may need write access to open them even
just for reading (and in WAL mode they always do).

Eelco Dolstra 8b8ee53bc7 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language
version.  It gets increased every time a language feature is
added/changed/removed.  It's currently 1.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
