Eelco Dolstra e35d6f78dc Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon 2012-10-03 17:59:23 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 522ecab9b8 Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.

Eelco Dolstra a562d544d8 When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page
I.e. do what git does.  I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)

Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).

Eelco Dolstra 0a7084567f Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate

Eelco Dolstra a3f205b249 When repairing a derivation, check and repair the entire output closure
If we find a corrupted path in the output closure, we rebuild the
derivation that produced that particular path.
2012-10-03 10:38:09 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 2001895f3d Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs
With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt,
it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by
rebuilding the derivation.  The latter may use hash rewriting if
chroots are not available.

Eelco Dolstra 8e3a7bd712 nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all missing/corrupt paths
Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after
verifying/repairing.

Eelco Dolstra 9958bd6992 Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Eelco Dolstra 95c74eae26 Allow dashes in identifiers
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a
package is usually equal to the package name.  However, this doesn't
work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common.  The
convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib"
becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying.  So now dashes are valid in
variable / attribute names, allowing you to write:

  dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { };

and

  buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ];

Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this
is unambiguous.

Eelco Dolstra b9c2b4d5b4 Remove setting of the immutable bit
Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with
store optimisation.  For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a
file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has
additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we
don't know the remaining paths.

So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only
mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit.  Unfortunately, we have
to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards
compatibility.

Eelco Dolstra b9124a5c33 Support having /nix/store as a read-only bind mount
It turns out that the immutable bit doesn't work all that well.  A
better way is to make the entire Nix store a read-only bind mount,
i.e. by doing

  $ mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store
  $ mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store

(This would typically done in an early boot script, before anything
from /nix/store is used.)

Since Nix needs to be able to write to the Nix store, it now detects
if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount and then makes it writable in
a private mount namespace.

Eelco Dolstra aac14222f5 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version
Commit 6a214f3e06 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command).  So go back to the simple single-user version.

Fixes #49.

Eelco Dolstra 47ae3ce2ca Put a time-to-live on negative binary cache lookups
Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per
day.  However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env
-qas"), negative lookups are ignored after one hour.  This is to
ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like
"nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache.

Should probably make this configurable.

Eelco Dolstra 2923b55f9d Delete paths in a component in topologically sorted order
The outputs of a derivation can refer to each other (even though they

Eelco Dolstra e56f71edaf In startBuilder(), only print the new paths we're building 2012-09-13 10:06:24 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4fca02077c Handle gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations both enabled
If the options gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations are both
enabled, you can get a cycle in the liveness graph.  There was a hack
to handle this, but it didn't work with multiple-output derivations,
causing the garbage collector to fail with errors like ‘error: cannot
delete path `...' because it is in use by `...'’.  The garbage
collector now handles strongly connected components in the liveness
graph as a unit and decides whether to delete all or none of the paths
in an SCC.

Eelco Dolstra 479e9172b3 Build hook: Pass the timeout to the remote builder
Note that this will only work if the client has a very recent Nix

Eelco Dolstra 4ba47205c6 Fix test failure on Darwin
Apparently our DBD::SQLite links against /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib,
which is an old version that doesn't respect foreign key constraints.
So manifests/cache.sqlite doesn't get updated properly when a manifest
disappears.  We should fix our DBD::SQLite, but in the meantime this
will fix the test.
