2015-07-17 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closureEelco Dolstra12-154/+372
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts). So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation (BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation (drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this interface. Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env -i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk). Fixes #173.

2015-07-01 Preserve supplementary groups of build usersLudovic Courtès1-2/+18
The following patch is an attempt to address this bug (see <http://bugs.gnu.org/18994>) by preserving the supplementary groups of build users in the build environment. In practice, I would expect that supplementary groups would contain only one or two groups: the build users group, and possibly the “kvm” group. [Changed &at(0) to data() and removed tabs - Eelco]
2015-07-01 Revert "add the manpath to the installer"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
This reverts commit 76f985b92d95fef967c1f3193d05244ced15420b. We shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations (like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

2015-06-17 Support URLs in $NIX_PATHEelco Dolstra3-1/+32
This didn't work (despite claims in the manual), because the colon in "http://" was parsed as a element separator. So handle "://" specially.

2015-06-04 Allow substitutes for builds that have preferLocalBuild setEelco Dolstra3-10/+18
Not substituting builds with "preferLocalBuild = true" was a bad idea, because it didn't take the cost of dependencies into account. For instance, if we can't substitute a fetchgit call, then we have to download/build git and all its dependencies. Partially reverts 5558652709f27e8a887580b77b93c705659d7a4b and adds a new derivation attribute "allowSubstitutes" to specify whether a derivation may be substituted.

2015-06-04 Chown files created for passAsFileEelco Dolstra1-2/+7
Nixpkgs' writeTextAsFile does this: mv "$textPath" "$n" Since $textPath was owned by root, if $textPath is on the same filesystem as $n, $n will be owned as root. As a result, the build result was rejected as having suspicious ownership. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/22836807

2015-05-22 Fix import-from-derivation in restricted eval modeEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
This relaxes restricted mode to allow access to anything in the store. In the future, it would be better to allow access to only paths that have been constructed in the current evaluation (so a hard-coded /nix/store/blabla in a Nix expression would still be rejected). However, note that reading /nix/store itself is still rejected, so you can't use this so get access to things you don't know about.
