Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
With --check and the --keep-failed (-K) flag, the temporary directory
was being retained regardless of whether the build was successful and
reproducible. This removes the temporary directory, as expected, on
a reproducible check build.
Added tests to verify that temporary build directories are not
retained unnecessarily, particularly when using --check with
--keep-failed.
This fetchers copies a plain directory (i.e. not a Git/Mercurial
repository) to the store (or does nothing if the path is already a
store path).
One use case is to pin the 'nixpkgs' flake used to build the current
NixOS system, and prevent it from being garbage-collected, via a
system registry entry like this:
{
"from": {
"id": "nixpkgs",
"type": "indirect"
},
"to": {
"type": "path",
"path": "/nix/store/rralhl3wj4rdwzjn16g7d93mibvlr521-source",
"lastModified": 1585388205,
"rev": "b0c285807d6a9f1b7562ec417c24fa1a30ecc31a"
},
"exact": true
}
Note the fake "lastModified" and "rev" attributes that ensure that the
flake gives the same evaluation results as the corresponding
Git/GitHub inputs.
(cherry picked from commit 12f9379123)
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
When encountering an unsupported protocol, there's no need to retry.
Chances are, it won't suddenly be supported between retry attempts;
error instead. Otherwise, you see something like the following:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 335 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 604 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 1340 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 2685 ms
With this change, you now see:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
error: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1)
This allows querying the location of function arguments. E.g.
builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos "x" (builtins.functionArgs ({ x }: null))
=> { column = 57; file = "/home/infinisil/src/nix/inst/test.nix"; line = 1; }
Using std::filesystem means also having to link with -lstdc++fs on
some platforms and it's hard to discover for what platforms this is
needed. As all the functionality is already implemented as utilities,
use those instead.
Due to fetchGit not checking if rev is an ancestor of ref (there is even
a FIXME comment about it in the code), the cache repo might not have the
ref even though it has the rev. This doesn't matter when submodule =
false, but the submodule = true code blows up because it tries to fetch
the (missing) ref from the cache repo.
Fix this in the simplest way possible: fetch all refs from the local
cache repo when submodules = true.
TODO: Add tests.
The .link file is used as a lock, so I think we should put the
"submodule" attribute in there since turning on submodules creates a new
.link file path.
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).
This is used to determine the dependency tree of impure libraries so nix
knows what paths to open in the sandbox. With the less restrictive
defaults it isn't needed anymore.
Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail
because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation.
$ nix-store --gc --delete
error: only one operation may be specified
Try 'nix-store --help' for more information.
Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was
released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend
on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit
simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference
in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact
same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references
to the (now gone) --delete option.
Other information:

this reduces time spent in unparse() from 9.15% to 4.31%. The main
culprit was appending characters one at a time to the destination
string. Even though the string has enough capacity, push_back() still
needs to check this on every call.
The problem fixed: each nix-shell invocation creates a new temporary
directory (`/tmp/nix-shell-*`) and never cleans up.
And while I'm here, shellescape all variables inlined into the rcfile.
See what might happen without escaping:
$ export TZ="';echo pwned'"
$ nix-shell -p hello --run hello
pwned
Hello, world!
The ssh client is lazily started by the first worker thread, that
requires a ssh connection. To avoid the ssh client to be killed, when
the worker process is stopped, do not set PR_SET_PDEATHSIG.
Brings the functionality of ssh-ng:// in sync with the legacy ssh://
implementation. Specifying the remote store uri enables various useful
things. eg.
$ nix copy --to ssh-ng://cache?remote-store=file://mnt/cache --all
