2014-05-02 When running as root, use build users by defaultEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
This removes the need to have a nix.conf, and prevents people from accidentally running Nix builds as root.

2014-04-15 nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semanticsRicardo M. Correia3-7/+15
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the generation that was active N days ago. For example, say that you have these 3 generations: 1: <30 days ago> 2: <15 days ago> 3: <1 hour ago> If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact). This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects 'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'. Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

2014-04-04 derivation: Don't require certain function argumentsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Turns out that in Nixpkgs, derivation is actually called without a ‘name’ argument in some places :-(

2014-04-03 Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writableLudovic Courtès1-0/+4
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems /dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating 3.10-3 reported not having this problem.) There’s still the problem that people without CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc), but I don’t see how we could work around it.
2014-04-01 Fix potential segfaultEelco Dolstra1-2/+3
The newEnv variable was accessed (via the dynamicEnv) pointer after it had gone out of scope. Fixes #234.

2014-03-30 nix-env: Add support for --delete-generations 15dRicardo M. Correia2-5/+24
It will delete all generations older than the specified number of days.
2014-03-30 Fix nix-shell for derivation with multiple outputsMaxim Ivanov1-0/+1
If derivation declares multiple outputs and first (default) output if not "out", then "nix-instantiate" calls return path with output names appended after "!". Than suffix must be stripped before ant path checks are done.

2014-03-29 Drop pointless #includeEelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2014-03-29 Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()Eelco Dolstra1-3/+5
Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to handleChildOutput() can result in cancellation of a goal. This invalidated the "j" iterator in the waitForInput() loop, even though it was still used afterwards. Likewise for the maxSilentTime handling. Probably fixes #231. At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.

Issue #231.
2014-03-28 Don't interpret strings as format stringsEelco Dolstra3-23/+32
Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-03-21 Make /dev/kvm optionalLudovic Courtès1-1/+4
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!). However, it expects /dev/kvm to be present. The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems, and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists. I’m not sure about the way to handle (2). We could special-case /dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely, if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

2014-03-18 Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid pathLudovic Courtès1-1/+7
Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when that happens. More precisely: 1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an ‘Error’ exception; 2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’; 3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after sending the message. This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch below. The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this one to allow recovery.
