2016-08-17 Add a mechanism for derivation attributes to reference the derivation's outputsEelco Dolstra7-16/+63
For example, you can now say: configureFlags = "--prefix=${placeholder "out"} --includedir=${placeholder "dev"}"; The strings returned by the ‘placeholder’ builtin are replaced at build time by the actual store paths corresponding to the specified outputs. Previously, you had to work around the inability to self-reference by doing stuff like: preConfigure = '' configureFlags+=" --prefix $out --includedir=$dev" ''; or rely on ad-hoc variable interpolation semantics in Autoconf or Make (e.g. --prefix=\$(out)), which doesn't always work.

2016-08-10 HttpBinaryCacheStore: Retry on transient HTTP errorsEelco Dolstra3-14/+34
This makes us more robust against 500 errors from CloudFront or S3 (assuming the 500 error isn't cached by CloudFront...).

2016-08-10 Add a "root" parameter to local storesEelco Dolstra5-5/+13
This makes it easier to create a diverted store, i.e. NIX_REMOTE="local?root=/tmp/root" instead of NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/root/nix/store&state=/tmp/root/nix/var/nix" NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/root/nix/var/log

2016-08-10 Remove scripts/show-duplication.plShea Levy1-73/+0
Was added in 2006 to "measure the cost of the Nix approach". Given that it uses /usr/bin/perl, I think this is safe to remove.

2016-08-04 Dockerfile: Add alpine dependencies (#1011)Aneesh Agrawal1-1/+3
* Dockerfile: add GNU tar native dependency `builtins.fetchTarball` requires GNU tar to be available in the $PATH in order to unpack the fetched tarball (there is a FIXME comment for this), which Alpine does not ship by default (it ships BusyBox tar). * Dockerfile: add GNU bash native dependency `nix-shell` defaults to invoking `bash` from the $PATH for the subshell. In theory this can be overriden with the NIX_BUILD_SHELL environment variable, but this does not work properly. `nix-shell` generates and passes a script (`$rcFile`) to be executed by the subshell which uses bashisms (`source` and `shopt`). Additionally, in interactive mode, `nix-shell` passes the `--rcfile` argument to the shell, which is another bashism. Because `bash` is thus de-facto required, add `bash` as a native package dependency to make it available for `nix-shell`.
2016-07-29 Set $MANPATH (#1005)Alexey Shmalko1-0/+4
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of searching in default location. Either of next lines workaround the issue: ```sh unset MANPATH export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH ``` This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has `MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of user's preferences.) As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

2016-07-21 Store::queryMissing(): Use a thread poolEelco Dolstra1-85/+104
For one particular NixOS configuration, this cut the runtime of "nix-store -r --dry-run" from 6m51s to 3.4s. It also fixes a bug in the size calculation that was causing certain paths to be counted twice, e.g. before: these paths will be fetched (1249.98 MiB download, 2995.74 MiB unpacked): and after: these paths will be fetched (1219.56 MiB download, 2862.17 MiB unpacked):

2016-07-21 NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute (#957)Matthias Beyer1-1/+2
Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional deployment mechanisms. I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds over several machines. I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually save, as you do not have side effects when building! So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute the builds. All was good. I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf. When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It failed, telling me error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able to find the issue. I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the SSH key and everything. I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either. So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables. And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes rather than relatives. And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall because something is not documented somewhere.
