2006-12-03 | * Run the worker in a separate session to prevent terminal signals | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+6 | |
from interfering. | |||||
2006-12-02 | * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function | Eelco Dolstra | 11 | -17/+81 | |
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock. | |||||
2006-12-02 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-12-02 | * Remove most of the old setuid code. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -138/+57 | |
* Much simpler setuid code for the worker in slave mode. | |||||
2006-12-02 | * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. | Eelco Dolstra | 8 | -63/+4 | |
2006-12-02 | * Clear NIX_REMOTE in the tests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2006-12-02 | * Remove queryPathHash(). | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -2/+32 | |
* Help for nix-worker. | |||||
2006-12-01 | * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+9 | |
2006-12-01 | * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed. | Eelco Dolstra | 11 | -96/+40 | |
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath). | |||||
2006-12-01 | * Right name. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2006-12-01 | * More operations. | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -33/+116 | |
* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode). | |||||
2006-11-30 | * More remote operations. | Eelco Dolstra | 12 | -46/+138 | |
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than querySubstitutes().size() > 0. | |||||
2006-11-30 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-11-30 | * More operations. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -9/+50 | |
2006-11-30 | * First remote operation: isValidPath(). | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -7/+63 | |
2006-11-30 | * When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -24/+87 | |
mode. Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user. The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so the caller can be completely unprivileged. This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on. Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure store operations. Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket. That would be even more secure. | |||||
2006-11-30 | * Skeleton of the privileged worker program. | Eelco Dolstra | 12 | -126/+255 | |
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation. | |||||
2006-11-30 | * Oops. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+135 | |
2006-11-30 | * Skeleton of remote store implementation. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -6/+14 | |
2006-11-30 | * Put building in the store API. | Eelco Dolstra | 11 | -48/+31 | |
2006-11-30 | * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI | Eelco Dolstra | 17 | -338/+458 | |
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations. | |||||
2006-11-30 | * Benchmarking Unix domain sockets. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -0/+121 | |
2006-11-30 | * Troubleshooting information on fixing a b0rked Berkeley DB database. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -13/+45 | |
2006-11-29 | * Don't spam. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2006-11-29 | * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation. | Roy van den Broek | 2 | -1/+10 | |
2006-11-29 | * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -61/+53 | |
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries. | |||||
2006-11-24 | * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -6/+28 | |
(NIX-70) | |||||
2006-11-24 | * Dead files. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -12/+0 | |
2006-11-18 | * Show more progress. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+3 | |
2006-11-18 | * Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -1/+3 | |
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard input/output. (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).) For instance, `nix-store --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a certain input. Another victory for Valgrind. | |||||
2006-11-14 | * Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-11-14 | * Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-11-14 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-11-14 | * Use the patched ATerm library. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -892/+5 | |
2006-11-14 | * Push. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
2006-11-13 | * Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessary | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -15/+12 | |
now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy. | |||||
2006-11-13 | * Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -21/+65 | |
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible). | |||||
2006-11-13 | * Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We need | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -8/+22 | |
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents. | |||||
2006-11-13 | * Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+3 | |
results on some machines. (NIX-69) | |||||
2006-11-07 | * Fix the locking patch for Berkeley DB 4.5. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-11-03 | * Fix importing of derivation outputs. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+9 | |
2006-10-31 | * Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-10-30 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+14 | |
2006-10-30 | * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+15 | |
2006-10-28 | * Don't use EPSV. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-10-28 | * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -4/+60 | |
available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver. | |||||
2006-10-26 | * Typo reported by Arie Middelkoop. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+4 | |
* Left out close-quote in example. | |||||
2006-10-23 | * Some better error messages. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -5/+12 | |
2006-10-19 | * Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four years | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+9 | |
old... | |||||
2006-10-19 | * Checks for allowedReferences and some other features. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -2/+100 | |
* Use nix-build in a test. |
