Cygwin sqlite3 is patched to call SetDllDirectory("/usr/bin") on init, which
affects the current process and is inherited by child processes. It causes
DLLs to be loaded from /usr/bin/ before $PATH, which breaks all sorts of
things. A typical failures would be header/lib version mismatches (e.g.
openssl when running checkPhase on openssh). We'll just set it back to the
default value.
Note that this is a problem with the cygwin version of sqlite3 (currently
3.18.0). nixpkgs doesn't have the problematic patch.
There's no reason to restrict this to Error exceptions. This shouldn't
matter to #1407 since the repl doesn't catch non-Error exceptions
anyway, but you never know...
Recently aws-sdk-cpp quietly switched to using S3 virtual host URIs
(https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/commit/69d9c53882), i.e. it sends
requests to http://<bucket>.<region>.s3.amazonaws.com rather than
http://<region>.s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>. However this interacts
badly with curl connection reuse. For example, if we do the following:
1) Check whether a bucket exists using GetBucketLocation.
2) If it doesn't, create it using CreateBucket.
3) Do operations on the bucket.
then 3) will fail for a minute or so with a NoSuchBucket exception,
presumably because the server being hit is a fallback for cases when
buckets don't exist.
Disabling the use of virtual hosts ensures that 3) succeeds
immediately. (I don't know what S3's consistency guarantees are for
bucket creation, but in practice buckets appear to be available
immediately.)
Newer versions of aws-sdk-cpp call CalculateDelayBeforeNextRetry()
even for non-retriable errors (like NoSuchKey) whih causes log spam in
hydra-queue-runner.
Sandboxes cannot be nested, so if Nix's build runs inside a sandbox,
it cannot use a sandbox itself. I don't see a clean way to detect
whether we're in a sandbox, so use a test-specific hack.

In particular, UF_IMMUTABLE (uchg) needs to be cleared to allow the
path to be garbage-collected or optimised.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25819.
+ the file from being garbage-collected.
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
Even with "build-use-sandbox = false", we now use sandboxing with a
permissive profile that allows everything except the creation of
setuid/setgid binaries.
Also, add rules to allow fixed-output derivations to access the
network.
These rules are sufficient to build stdenvDarwin without any
__sandboxProfile magic.
The filename used was not unique and owned by the build user, so
builds could fail with
error: while setting up the build environment: cannot unlink ‘/nix/store/99i210ihnsjacajaw8r33fmgjvzpg6nr-bison-3.0.4.drv.sb’: Permission denied
runResolver() was barfing on directories like
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/Current/PlugIns. It
should probably do something sophisticated for frameworks, but let's
ignore them for now.
This fixes
error: getting attributes of path ‘Versions/Current/CoreFoundation’: No such file or directory
when /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation is a symlink.
Also fixes a segfault when encounting a file that is not a MACH binary (such
as /dev/null, which is included in __impureHostDeps in Nixpkgs).
Possibly fixes#786.
Fixes
src/libstore/build.cc:2321:45: error: non-constant-expression cannot be narrowed from type 'int' to 'scmp_datum_t' (aka 'unsigned long') in initializer list [-Wc++11-narrowing]
EAs/ACLs are not part of the NAR canonicalisation. Worse, setting an
ACL allows a builder to create writable files in the Nix store. So get
rid of them.
Closes#185.
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.
This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).

Fixes
client# error: size mismatch importing path ‘/nix/store/ywf5fihjlxwijm6ygh6s0a353b5yvq4d-libidn2-0.16’; expected 0, got 120264
This is mostly an artifact of the NixOS VM test environment, where the
Nix database doesn't contain hashes/sizes.
