2017-09-14 RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the poolEelco Dolstra3-1/+31
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is restarted. It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.

2017-09-14 nix-store -q --roots / --gc --print-roots: Print temporary / in-memory rootsEelco Dolstra2-22/+41
For example, $ nix-store -q --roots /nix/store/7phd2sav7068nivgvmj2vpm3v47fd27l-patchelf-0.8pre845_0315148 {temp:1} denotes that the path is only being kept alive by a temporary root (i.e. /nix/var/nix/temproots/). Similarly, $ nix-store --gc --print-roots ... {memory:9} -> /nix/store/094gpjn9f15ip17wzxhma4r51nvsj17p-curl-7.53.1 shows that curl is being used by some process.

2017-09-11 docker: update to Nix 1.11.14Peter Simons1-8/+11
- Use the latest Nix version 1.11.14. - Attempts to download the Nix installation tarball from http://nixos.org redirect to https these days, which wget doesn't support unless OpenSSL is available. - Use addgroup and adduser commands to create the Nix build users. - Link the Nix profile script into /etc/profile.d, where it's run automatically. - Dropped installation of bash and tar. Neither tool is essential for running Nix. Use the command "docker build -t nix . && docker run -it --rm nix sh -" to build and run the Nix docker container.
2017-09-10 Add command "nix why-depends"Eelco Dolstra1-0/+133
This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure: $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1: lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev: nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.

I don't remember what the reasoning was here, but security is provided by the signatures, not by whether the hash is provided by the other store.

2017-09-08 ThreadPool: Improve exception handlingEelco Dolstra2-24/+53
In particular, process() won't return as long as there are active items. This prevents work item lambdas from referring to stack frames that no longer exist.

2017-09-08 Communicate the structured log FD to buildersEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
Since we may use a dedicated file descriptor in the future, this allows us to change it. So builders can do if [[ -n $NIX_LOG_FD ]]; then echo "@nix { message... }" >&$NIX_LOG_FD fi

2017-09-06 Fix abort when the GC thread gets an exceptionEelco Dolstra1-13/+21
2017-09-05 Add automatic garbage collectionEelco Dolstra6-1/+127
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>" specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete garbage until "max-free" bytes are available. Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution. Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage -d").
2017-09-05 GC: Don't delete own temproots fileEelco Dolstra3-34/+34
Since file locks are per-process rather than per-file-descriptor, the garbage collector would always acquire a lock on its own temproots file and conclude that it's stale.
2017-09-01 Abort curl downloads if there is no progress for 5 minutesEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
Maybe this will fix the curl hangs on macOS. (We could also use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT but that seems more of a sledgehammer.)

Build fails as: $ make CXX src/libmain/stack.o src/libmain/stack.cc: In function 'void nix::sigsegvHandler(int, siginfo_t*, void*)': src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: error: 'ucontext' was not declared in this scope sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP]; ^~~~~~~~ src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: note: suggested alternative: 'ucontext_t' sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP]; ^~~~~~~~ ucontext_t It's caused by upstream rename: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=251287734e89a52da3db682a8241eb6bccc050c9 which basically changes typedef struct ucontext {} ucontext_t; to typedef struct ucontext_t {} ucontext_t; The change uses ucontext_t.

2017-08-31 Call queryMissing() prior to buildingEelco Dolstra2-0/+14
Without this, substitute info is fetched sequentially, which is superslow. In the old UI (e.g. nix-build), we call printMissing(), which calls queryMissing(), thereby preheating the binary cache cache. But the new UI doesn't do that.
2017-08-31 Add an activity for binary cache queriesEelco Dolstra4-4/+19
2017-08-31 Rename a few configuration optionsEelco Dolstra16-104/+113
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

2017-08-29 nix run: Flush the progress bar before starting the commandEelco Dolstra5-19/+28
2017-08-29 nix run: Add some flags for clearing/keeping the environmentEelco Dolstra1-0/+49
This is useful for testing commands in isolation. For example, $ nix run nixpkgs.geeqie -i -k DISPLAY -k XAUTHORITY -c geeqie runs geeqie in an empty environment, except for $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY.
2017-08-29 nix run: Allow passing a command to executeEelco Dolstra3-3/+19
E.g. nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is necessary. "-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.
2017-08-29 nix run: Fix chroot executionEelco Dolstra2-60/+110
Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g. $ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads. So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix __run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().
2017-08-29 Hide commands that don't have a descriptionEelco Dolstra1-2/+5
These are assumed to be internal.
2017-08-29 readLink(): Handle symlinks in /procEelco Dolstra1-4/+5
Symlinks like /proc/self/exe report a stat() size of 0, so use a buffer of at least PATH_MAX instead.
2017-08-28 Give activities a verbosity level againEelco Dolstra10-19/+41
And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v flags.
2017-08-28 Don't send progress messages to older clientsEelco Dolstra2-12/+19
2017-08-28 Tunnel progress messages from the daemon to the clientEelco Dolstra4-30/+124
This makes the progress bar work for non-root users.
