Eelco Dolstra 917e06bf63 * Delete the output paths before invoking the build hook. 2007-03-07 15:53:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db1973d012 * Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call
openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2007-03-01 13:30:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b4a040e52b * Don't check the signature unless we have to. 2007-03-01 12:30:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ea3bebc23 * Doh! The deriver can be empty. 2007-02-27 23:18:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9da367b7d5 * `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically
under the references relation.  This is useful for commands that
  want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21 22:45:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 65f195f4c7 * Check that the file containing the secret key is secret. 2007-02-21 17:51:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bdadb98de8 * `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker
always requires a signature on the archive.  This is to ensure that
  unprivileged users cannot add Trojan horses to the Nix store.
2007-02-21 17:34:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0f5da8a83c * Support exportPath() in remote mode. 2007-02-21 16:34:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc7d594776 * importPath(): set the deriver.
* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21 16:23:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43c4d18c6a * nix-store --import': import an archive created by nix-store
--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic
  signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub.  (TODO: verify
  against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21 15:45:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46e0919ced * `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key
in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b824a1daee * Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store
path.  This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the
  meta-information of the store path (references, deriver).  Will add
  a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we
  will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a
  secure manner.
2007-02-20 23:17:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46605fb4f5 * Fix 64-bit compiler warnings. 2007-02-06 20:03:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f52de527c7 * Doh! 2007-01-29 15:55:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b618fa6eb6 * computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when
computing the store path (NIX-77).  This is an important security
  property in multi-user Nix stores.

  Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the
  derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most
  outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).
2007-01-29 15:51:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fac63d6416 * exportReferencesGraph: work on paths within store paths as well. 2007-01-23 16:57:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 63f3ce6d9a * `nix-store --verify': revive checking the referrers table. This is
important to get garbage collection to work if there is any
  inconsistency in the database (because the referrer table is used to
  determine whether it is safe to delete a path).
* `nix-store --verify': show some progress.
2007-01-14 17:28:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8f67b35886 * Make the garbage collector more resilient to certain consistency
errors: in-use paths now cause a warning, not a fatal error.
2007-01-14 16:24:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12 23:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b17677462c * Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This
matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid
  helper (which already used lchown()).
  
* Also check for an obscure security problem on platforms that don't
  have lchown.  Then we can't change the ownership of symlinks, which
  doesn't matter *except* when the containing directory is writable by
  the owner (which is the case with the top-level Nix store directory).
2006-12-09 20:02:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5f681988f2 * Use deletePathWrapped() in more places. 2006-12-09 00:26:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa33303146 * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handled
very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the
  `children' map.
2006-12-08 18:41:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06c4929958 * Some refactoring.
* Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors.  This
  matters when --keep-going is turned on.  (A BuildError is caught
  and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the
  program.)
2006-12-08 17:26:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.
2006-12-08 15:44:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3fe6ab024 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even
in case of failure.
2006-12-08 00:19:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096194ab29 * Remove ancient terminology. 2006-12-07 23:58:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6833e8bbe8 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner
back to the Nix account.
2006-12-07 23:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2819eb36a4 * Be less verbose. 2006-12-07 21:43:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process,
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.
2006-12-07 17:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's
processes before and after the build.
2006-12-07 16:33:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its
ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the
ownership of the build result after the build.
2006-12-07 15:18:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before
deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the
builder under the desired build user.
2006-12-07 00:42:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.
2006-12-06 20:00:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid()
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62b0497c0f * Better message. 2006-12-05 16:17:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.
2006-12-05 02:18:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 29cf434a35 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged
process, so forward the operation.
* Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71).
* findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with
  which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-05 01:31:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8623256f48 * findRoots: return a map from the symlink (outside of the store) to
the store path (inside the store).
2006-12-05 00:48:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d27a73b1a9 * In addPermRoot, check that the root that we just registered can be
found by the garbage collector.  This addresses NIX-71 and is a
  particular concern in multi-user stores.
2006-12-05 00:34:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 74033a844f * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged
processes can register indirect roots.  Of course, there is still
  the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of
  the indirect roots when it's running as root...
2006-12-04 23:29:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7751160e9f * Don't redirect stderr. 2006-12-04 19:10:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40c3529909 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions.
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that).
* Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler.
  Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal
  appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
