2016-08-10 Remove scripts/show-duplication.plShea Levy1-73/+0
Was added in 2006 to "measure the cost of the Nix approach". Given that it uses /usr/bin/perl, I think this is safe to remove.

2016-08-04 Dockerfile: Add alpine dependencies (#1011)Aneesh Agrawal1-1/+3
* Dockerfile: add GNU tar native dependency `builtins.fetchTarball` requires GNU tar to be available in the $PATH in order to unpack the fetched tarball (there is a FIXME comment for this), which Alpine does not ship by default (it ships BusyBox tar). * Dockerfile: add GNU bash native dependency `nix-shell` defaults to invoking `bash` from the $PATH for the subshell. In theory this can be overriden with the NIX_BUILD_SHELL environment variable, but this does not work properly. `nix-shell` generates and passes a script (`$rcFile`) to be executed by the subshell which uses bashisms (`source` and `shopt`). Additionally, in interactive mode, `nix-shell` passes the `--rcfile` argument to the shell, which is another bashism. Because `bash` is thus de-facto required, add `bash` as a native package dependency to make it available for `nix-shell`.
2016-07-29 Set $MANPATH (#1005)Alexey Shmalko1-0/+4
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of searching in default location. Either of next lines workaround the issue: ```sh unset MANPATH export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH ``` This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has `MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of user's preferences.) As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

2016-07-21 Store::queryMissing(): Use a thread poolEelco Dolstra1-85/+104
For one particular NixOS configuration, this cut the runtime of "nix-store -r --dry-run" from 6m51s to 3.4s. It also fixes a bug in the size calculation that was causing certain paths to be counted twice, e.g. before: these paths will be fetched (1249.98 MiB download, 2995.74 MiB unpacked): and after: these paths will be fetched (1219.56 MiB download, 2862.17 MiB unpacked):

2016-07-21 NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute (#957)Matthias Beyer1-1/+2
Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional deployment mechanisms. I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds over several machines. I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually save, as you do not have side effects when building! So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute the builds. All was good. I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf. When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It failed, telling me error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able to find the issue. I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the SSH key and everything. I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either. So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables. And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes rather than relatives. And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall because something is not documented somewhere.

Don't hardcode docbook XSL namespace URL
2016-07-04 Don't hardcode docbook XSL namespace URLaszlig1-1/+1
Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version. So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current" in the hope that this won't happen again. I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could have implications.

2016-07-01 nix.spec.in: Create /nix/store at install time.Timothy Allen1-1/+4
Since we now chmod /nix/store at install time, we don't need to do it in the post install script. We still chgrp in the post-install, because the nixbld group doesn't exist at install time.

2016-07-01 nix.spec.in: Build from the .tar.xz file.Timothy Allen1-1/+1
The Nix download page only mentions the .xz source tarball, so that's what people are likely to have available. This means that somebody who downloads a Nix source tarball can turn it directly into an RPM with `rpmbuild -ta nix-*.tar.xz`.
2016-07-01 nix.spec.in: Use the default build group name.Timothy Allen1-1/+1
Nix expects build users to be in the "nixbld" group. You can change that in the config file, but `nix.spec` does not ship with a config file, so we should use the defaults.

2016-06-09 Run builds in a user namespaceEelco Dolstra1-14/+65
This way, all builds appear to have a uid/gid of 0 inside the chroot. In the future, this may allow using programs like systemd-nspawn inside builds, but that will require assigning a larger UID/GID map to the build. Issue #625.

2016-06-03 Support sandbox builds by non-root usersEelco Dolstra3-53/+69
This allows an unprivileged user to perform builds on a diverted store (i.e. where the physical store location differs from the logical location). Example: $ NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/log NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var" nix-build -E \ 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { buildInputs = [procps nettools]; } "id; ps; ifconfig; echo $out > $out"' will do a build in the Nix store physically in /tmp/store but logically in /nix/store (and thus using substituters for the latter).
