2014-09-05 tests/remote-builds.nix: Time out fasterEelco Dolstra1-2/+3
2014-09-05 Fix build-remote.plEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
Apparently, turning on utf8 encoding on stderr changes its flushing behaviour, causing sendReply to not send anything. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/13944384
2014-09-04 Fix dependency orderingEelco Dolstra1-4/+2
2014-09-02 Fix boost::too_many_args errorEelco Dolstra1-1/+1

2014-08-29 Shut up "Wide character" warnings in Perl scriptsEelco Dolstra10-0/+25
2014-08-28 Add disallowedReferences / disallowedRequisitesEelco Dolstra5-28/+64
For the "stdenv accidentally referring to bootstrap-tools", it seems easier to specify the path that we don't want to depend on, e.g. disallowedRequisites = [ bootstrapTools ];
2014-08-28 allowedRequisites: Drop stdenv mentionEelco Dolstra2-8/+3
I don't think it's a good idea to use allowedRequisites for stdenv, so don't mention it here.
2014-08-28 Fix manual buildEelco Dolstra1-1/+2

2014-08-21 fix disappearing bash argumentsJoel Taylor1-2/+7
2014-08-21 Fix testsEelco Dolstra9-26/+20
So all these years I was totally deluded about the meaning of "set -e". You might think that it causes statements like "false && true" or "! true" to fail, but it doesn't...
2014-08-21 Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure child cleanupEelco Dolstra3-3/+13
2014-08-21 Set a curl timeout on binary cache lookupsEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2014-08-21 Use unshare() instead of clone()Eelco Dolstra1-55/+35
It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the build farm: The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this (in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that. Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up private namespaces. See also https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg03434.html.
2014-08-21 Fix a segfault in ‘nix-env -qa’Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This was triggered by 47e185847e729d49e6aa376e8299fd66ef834a0a, which turned globals.state into a pointer.
2014-08-20 Flush std::cout before closing stdoutEelco Dolstra1-0/+1

2014-08-20 nix-store -l: Automatically pipe output into $PAGEREelco Dolstra4-2/+56
2014-08-20 Reduce test verbosityEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2014-08-20 Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderrEelco Dolstra1-1/+37
The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole) ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit of the latter, filter them out.
