Eelco Dolstra d6d5885c15 Add replaceStrings primop 
This is a generalisation of replaceChars in Nixpkgs.

Eelco Dolstra 14be783676 Add primops all and any 
These are used thousands of times during NixOS evaluation, so it's
useful to speed them up.

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.

Going to reimplement differently.

This reverts commit 1e4a4a2e9f.

Eelco Dolstra cffa7f80ab Typo 2015-02-23 16:02:50 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 99897f6979 Use chroots for all derivations 
If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are
now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get
a private network namespace, so they can still access the
network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is
no longer allowed.

Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.
 2015-02-23 15:54:31 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 15d2d3c34e Add restricted evaluation mode 
If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an
exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix
search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want
people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.

Eelco Dolstra 128538ef06 nix-shell: Add --run flag 
‘--run’ is like ‘--command’, except that it runs the command in a
non-interactive shell. This is important if you do things like:

  $ nix-shell --command make

Hitting Ctrl-C while make is running drops you into the interactive
Nix shell, which is probably not what you want. So you can now do

  $ nix-shell --run make

instead.
