2012-07-17	Add function queryPathFromHashPart()	Eelco Dolstra	9	-0/+67
	To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for /nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap database lookup.
2012-07-17	queryPathInfo(): return hash in base-32 if desired	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Cherry-picked from the no-manifests branch.
2012-07-17	Return an exit code of 100 for cached failed builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Exit code 100 should be returned for all permanent failures. This includes cached failures. Fixes #34.

2012-07-09	Get rid of nix.conf.example	Eelco Dolstra	3	-190/+2
	No need to duplicate the nix.conf manpage.

2012-06-27	nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallel	Eelco Dolstra	11	-25/+30
	I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-06-27	Mount an empty /dev/shm tmpfs in the chroot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	This ensures that whatever the builder writes in /dev/shm is automatically cleaned up.
2012-06-27	Check the return code of the clone() call	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2012-06-25	When using chroots, use a private PID namespace	Eelco Dolstra	2	-156/+186
	In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from the rest of the system. The initial child gets PID 1. Processes in the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot. This improves isolation between builds. However, processes on the outside can see processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have appropriate rights). Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in the chroot. This might turn out to be a problem. In that case we'll need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().
2012-06-25	Use a private UTS namespace to provide a deterministic host/domain name to ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	builders In chroot builds, set the host name to "localhost" and the domain name to "(none)" (the latter being the kernel's default). This improves determinism a bit further. P.S. I have to idea what UTS stands for.

2012-06-23	Improve error message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-06-23	In chroot builds, use a private SysV IPC namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+19
	This improves isolation a bit further, and it's just one extra flag in the unshare() call. P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.
2012-06-23	In chroot builds, use a private network namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+31
	On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace, meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from the rest of the system. We use this to completely remove network access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback interface. This means that: - Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes on the same machine, except processes within the same build. - Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat". - If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other. This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.
2012-06-18	Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd	Eelco Dolstra	1	-30/+46
	Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket is first accessed. This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one ourselves.

2012-05-30	Compress build logs on the fly using bzip2	Eelco Dolstra	2	-11/+45

2012-05-30	"nix-store -l": support compressed logs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+34

2012-05-29	Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	9	-11/+35
	We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full. Since this prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage collection. This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB days. Fixes #27.
2012-05-29	Add option ‘build-keep-log’ to enable/disable writing of build logs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+36
	Fixes #26.
2012-05-24	Clean up the installation section; document the generic binary tarballs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-96/+148

2012-05-22	Fix owner/group in tar invocation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-05-22	Generate binary tarballs for installing Nix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+68
	For several platforms we don't currently have "native" Nix packages (e.g. Mac OS X and FreeBSD). This provides the next best thing: a tarball containing the closure of Nix, plus a simple script "nix-finish-install" that initialises the Nix database, registers the paths in the closure as valid, and runs "nix-env -i /path/to/nix" to initialise the user profile. The tarball must be unpacked in the root directory. It creates /nix/store/... and /usr/bin/nix-finish-install. Typical installation is as follows: $ cd / $ tar xvf /path/to/nix-1.1pre1234_abcdef-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 $ nix-finish-install (if necessary add ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh to the shell login scripts) After this, /usr/bin/nix-finish-install can be deleted, if desired. The downside to the binary tarball is that it's pretty big (~55 MiB for x86_64-linux).
