2014-08-21 Set a curl timeout on binary cache lookupsEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2014-08-21 Use unshare() instead of clone()Eelco Dolstra1-55/+35
It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the build farm: The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this (in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that. Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up private namespaces. See also https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg03434.html.
2014-08-21 Fix a segfault in ‘nix-env -qa’Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This was triggered by 47e185847e729d49e6aa376e8299fd66ef834a0a, which turned globals.state into a pointer.

2014-08-20 Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderrEelco Dolstra1-1/+37
The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole) ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit of the latter, filter them out.

2014-08-13 Handle compound single dash options properlyEelco Dolstra1-15/+14
So now nix-instantiate --eval -E '{x}: x' --argstr x -xyzzy correctly prints "-xyzzy", rather than giving an error. Issue NixOS/hydra#176.
