2006-12-08 * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handledEelco Dolstra1-38/+85
very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the `children' map.
2006-12-08 * Some refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-95/+118
* Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors. This matters when --keep-going is turned on. (A BuildError is caught and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the program.)
2006-12-08 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number ofEelco Dolstra7-20/+107
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65). This timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting. The default is infinity (0). * Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait(). So also send a conventional kill to the child.
2006-12-08 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output evenEelco Dolstra1-22/+36
in case of failure.
2006-12-07 * Remove ancient terminology.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2006-12-07 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the ownerEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
back to the Nix account.
2006-12-07 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra4-4/+4
2006-12-07 * Be less verbose.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-07 * Rename all those main.cc files.Eelco Dolstra10-5/+5
2006-12-07 * Check for lchown.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+8
2006-12-07 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process,Eelco Dolstra1-2/+14
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't. Let the setuid helper do it.
2006-12-07 * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil.Eelco Dolstra5-27/+23
2006-12-07 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user'sEelco Dolstra2-31/+69
processes before and after the build.
2006-12-07 * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix itsEelco Dolstra3-6/+31
ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change theEelco Dolstra2-7/+13
ownership of the build result after the build.
2006-12-07 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account beforeEelco Dolstra3-38/+104
deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07 * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper.Eelco Dolstra1-22/+10
2006-12-07 * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start theEelco Dolstra2-26/+41
builder under the desired build user.
2006-12-07 * Sanity check.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+7
2006-12-07 * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it.Eelco Dolstra3-48/+79
2006-12-06 * Change the ownership of the current directory to the build user.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+16
2006-12-06 * Verify that the desired target user is in the build users group (asEelco Dolstra1-10/+43
specified in the setuid config file).
2006-12-06 * Check that the caller is allowed to call the setuid helper. TheEelco Dolstra1-12/+49
allowed uid is specified in a configuration file in /etc/nix-setuid.conf.
2006-12-06 * Urgh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-06 * Fix the safety check.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-12-06 * Oops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-06 * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members ofEelco Dolstra3-64/+86
`build-users-group'. This makes configuration easier: you can just add users in /etc/group.
2006-12-06 * nix-setuid-helper: allow running programs under a different uid.Eelco Dolstra3-11/+140
2006-12-06 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operationsEelco Dolstra5-4/+18
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids, changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-05 * Be less chatty.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-12-05 * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid() Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
2006-12-05 * Tricky: child processes should not send data to the client sinceEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
that might mess up the protocol. And besides, the socket file descriptor is probably closed.
2006-12-05 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2006-12-05 * Oops! In daemon mode, we can't run as root either if build-users is empty.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-12-05 * Use an explicit handler for SIGCHLD, since SIG_IGN doesn't do the Eelco Dolstra1-3/+15
right thing on FreeBSD 4 (it leaves zombies).
2006-12-05 * Better message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-05 * Ugly hack to handle spurious SIGPOLLs.Eelco Dolstra1-20/+50
2006-12-05 * Some renaming.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+6
2006-12-05 * Redundant.Eelco Dolstra4-130/+0
2006-12-05 * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to doEelco Dolstra16-56/+106
`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-12-05 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privilegedEelco Dolstra9-77/+138
process, so forward the operation. * Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71). * findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-05 * findRoots: return a map from the symlink (outside of the store) toEelco Dolstra1-11/+16
the store path (inside the store).
2006-12-05 * In addPermRoot, check that the root that we just registered can beEelco Dolstra2-18/+42
found by the garbage collector. This addresses NIX-71 and is a particular concern in multi-user stores.
2006-12-04 * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivilegedEelco Dolstra7-6/+42
processes can register indirect roots. Of course, there is still the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of the indirect roots when it's running as root...
2006-12-04 * Not every OS knows about SIGPOLL.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2006-12-04 * Don't redirect stderr.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+0
2006-12-04 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions.Eelco Dolstra2-19/+64
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that). * Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler. Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
2006-12-04 * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the serverEelco Dolstra7-53/+182
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-04 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socketEelco Dolstra3-8/+37
instead of forking a worker.
2006-12-04 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra3-17/+33
