2016-01-12 Revert "Do not override environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS"Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
This reverts commit 80ebd60e7ca3c48a19b94ddaeebb23182b703178. The reason why we cleared CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was because otherwise we get a default value of -O2, which interferes with the defaults set in the Makefile. (E.g. "make OPTIMIZE=0" should not pass -O2.)
2016-01-05 Do not override environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGSIlya Novoselov1-2/+0
Looks like 5a05cf4063fc6ea666f3e24c60bd2e9e5526ef4e removed usage of environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS by mistake. That change broke building of nix on fedora core 23.

POSIX compliant directory access (fixes build on Solaris)
2015-12-10 Build sandbox support etc. unconditionally on LinuxEelco Dolstra1-19/+0
Also, use "#if __APPLE__" instead of "#if SANDBOX_ENABLED" to prevent ambiguity.

d_type is not part of the POSIX spec unfortunately.

2015-02-16 Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possibleHarald van Dijk1-0/+1
chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible. Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be put to their full use.
2015-02-10 Make libsodium an optional dependencyEelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2015-02-04 Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signingEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’. The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and prints a public and secret key.

This way, we can use config.status for generating scripts/* (without ending up with lines like "#! /usr/bin/perl -I${libexecdir}/...").

2013-08-07 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the clientEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s

2013-03-25 makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out ↵Shea Levy1-0/+1
if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount /nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2012-11-15 Disable use of vfork()Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.
2012-11-09 Use vfork() instead of fork() if availableEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.

Also use utimes() instead of utime() if lutimes() is not available.

2012-06-29 Use XZ compression in binary cachesEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory.
2012-05-10 Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabledEelco Dolstra1-9/+16
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.
2012-05-04 Require SQLite >= 3.6.19Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was introduced in 3.6.19. Without it, the database won't be cleaned up correctly when paths are deleted. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142.
