2017-04-13 Convert Settings to the new config systemEelco Dolstra18-530/+332
This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.

2017-04-13 Validate Boolean settings betterEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
2017-04-13 Merge branch 'rework-options' of https://github.com/copumpkin/nixEelco Dolstra11-92/+221
2017-04-13 Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settingsEelco Dolstra16-40/+334
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members: class MyClass : private Config { Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"}; Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"}; MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf")) { std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden } }; Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store parameter in a store URI.

Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes
2017-04-12 Move note about float support out of the wrong release notesBenjamin Staffin2-7/+7
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

Process nix.conf options in "new" commands, add test

Somehow this came back after d1da6967b8891763ce04d668027cf300c9bbf0b2.

Thanks @copumpkin.

Add CURLE_WRITE_ERROR as a transient error condition
2017-04-10 Add CURLE_WRITE_ERROR as a transient error conditionDan Peebles1-0/+5
We've observed it failing downloads in the wild and retrying the same URL a few moments later seemed to fix it.
2017-04-10 Default to 5 download retriesDan Peebles1-1/+1
This should help certain downloaders that don't request anything special for the number of retries, like nix-channel.
2017-04-10 shell.nix: Remove obsolete flagsEelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2017-04-10 Minor cleanupEelco Dolstra3-15/+5
Also, possible fix for #1310 on 32-bit systems.
2017-04-10 Allow "auto" as a store URIEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Using the empty string is likely to be ambiguous in some contexts.
2017-04-08 tests/timeout: create output so tests don't trivially passWill Dietz1-0/+3
Timeout tests rely on failed build to determine success, so make sure these derivations (silent in particular) don't fail regardless of timeout behavior.
2017-04-08 Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.Will Dietz2-0/+6
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option" or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.

2017-04-06 Implement RemoteStore::queryMissing()Eelco Dolstra5-3/+44
This provides a significant speedup, e.g. 64 s -> 12 s for nix-build --dry-run -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-16.03 '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test on a cold local and CloudFront cache. The alternative is to use lots of concurrent daemon connections but that seems wasteful.
2017-04-06 Fix bogus "unexpected Nix daemon error: interrupted by the user"Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2017-04-06 Add a method to allow hydra-queue-runner to flush the path info cacheEelco Dolstra1-5/+7
2017-04-06 nix-daemon: Disable path info cacheEelco Dolstra5-5/+17
This is useless because the client also caches path info, and can cause problems for long-running clients like hydra-queue-runner (i.e. it may return cached info about paths that have been garbage-collected).
2017-04-04 Allow default sandbox paths to be overridenEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
E.g. you can now redirect /etc/resolv.conf to a different file.
2017-04-04 Make /var/run/nscd/socket optionalEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Not every distribution uses nscd.

2017-03-31 Sandbox: Fix /dev/ptmx on recent kernelsEelco Dolstra1-8/+1
This fixes "No such file or directory" when opening /dev/ptmx (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51094249). The reason appears to be some changes to /dev/ptmx / /dev/pts handling between Linux 4.4 and 4.9. See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7832531/. The fix is to go back to mounting a proper /dev/pts instance inside the sandbox. Happily, this now works inside user namespaces, even for unprivileged users. So NIX_REMOTE=local?root=/tmp/nix nix-build \ '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test works for non-root users. The downside is that the fix breaks sandbox builds on older kernels (probably pre-4.6), since mounting a devpts fails inside user namespaces for some reason I've never been able to figure out. Builds on those systems will fail with error: while setting up the build environment: mounting /dev/pts: Invalid argument Ah well.

2017-03-30 Add exec primop behind allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation.Shea Levy3-5/+59
Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be evaluated. There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to: * Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision * git rev-parse HEAD * Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like cabal or npm * Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops) * Private repository fetching Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these tasks done. The primop is only available when the 'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin against the running version of nix).

This is consistent with the behaviour of the old download-from-binary-cache substituter.
