2018-02-21 Manual: Update chapter on remote buildsEelco Dolstra1-3/+12
Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store ssh://mac').
2018-02-13 Allow plugins to define new settings.Shea Levy1-3/+4
2018-02-13 Merge pull request #1863 from shlevy/conf-includesEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
Allow includes from nix.conf
2018-02-13 Enable specifying directories in plugin-files.Shea Levy1-0/+4
2018-02-13 Allow includes from nix.confShea Levy1-1/+6
2018-02-08 Allow using RegisterPrimop to define constants.Shea Levy1-1/+1
This enables plugins to add new constants, as well as new primops.
2018-02-08 Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.Shea Levy1-0/+27
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.
2018-01-17 Move show-trace docsEelco Dolstra1-0/+8
2018-01-09 nix.conf: builders-use-substitutesRenzo Carbonara1-0/+14
Fixes #937
2018-01-04 Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".
2017-11-21 Add a warning about the 'trusted-users' optionEelco Dolstra1-5/+6
2017-11-20 Document secret-key-filesEelco Dolstra1-3/+16
2017-11-20 signed-binary-caches -> require-sigsEelco Dolstra1-5/+8
Unlike signed-binary-caches (which could only be '*' or ''), require-sigs is a proper Boolean option. The default is true.
2017-11-20 binary-cache-public-keys -> trusted-public-keysEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution from binary caches, but when adding/copying any (non-content-addressed) path to a store.
2017-10-30 Add option allowed-urisEelco Dolstra1-1/+17
This allows network access in restricted eval mode.
2017-08-31 Rename a few configuration optionsEelco Dolstra1-29/+28
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
2017-07-30 replace "Mac OS X" with "macOS"davidak1-1/+1
except in older release notes where the name was actually Mac OS X.
2017-07-17 Make the hashes mirrors used by builtins.fetchurl configurableEelco Dolstra1-0/+28
In particular, this allows it to be disabled in our tests.
2017-07-04 Add allow-new-privileges optionEelco Dolstra1-0/+17
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally, any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this ability for certain tests. Example: $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines: cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set : Operation not permitted $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines: PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=15.2 ms Fixes #1429.
2017-04-20 Read per-user settings from ~/.config/nix/nix.confEelco Dolstra1-8/+28
2017-04-20 binary-caches-parallel-connections -> http-connectionsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2017-04-20 nix.conf man page: binary-caches -> substitutersEelco Dolstra1-21/+13
2017-04-13 Convert Settings to the new config systemEelco Dolstra1-10/+0
This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-03-21 Fix tests to reflect the signed-binary-caches default changeEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
2017-03-15 Store: Add a method for getting build logsEelco Dolstra1-14/+0
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs from the binary cache. Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for this.
2017-03-09 nix -> NixEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2017-03-08 Add docs for allow-import-from-derivationShea Levy1-0/+10
2017-02-28 Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use 0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local building.) Fixes #1198.
2017-02-16 Tweak netrc docsEelco Dolstra1-4/+12
2017-02-02 Add netrc-file supportRenzo Carbonara1-0/+15
2016-12-16 manual: add NIX_CONF_DIR to conf-file sectionDaiderd Jordan1-1/+2
2016-10-31 Support optional sandbox pathsEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
For example, you can now set build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl? to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2 images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.
2016-09-21 Add sandbox-dev-shm-size optionEelco Dolstra1-0/+13
Fixes #1069.
2016-09-14 Revive binary-caches-parallel-connectionsEelco Dolstra1-4/+3
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads, not just binary cache lookups. Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2 (enabled by default).
2016-08-10 s/powerpc-darwin/x86_64-darwin/Domen Kožar1-3/+3
Let's step in line with time and document more realistic values.
2016-04-29 BinaryCacheStore: Make the signing key a parameterEelco Dolstra1-10/+0
2016-04-11 Remove manifest supportEelco Dolstra1-12/+0
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.
2016-04-08 Remove failed build cachingEelco Dolstra1-15/+0
This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
2016-03-04 Add option binary-cache-secret-key-file for signing binary cachesEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
2015-11-25 Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>' gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N: N=10: 3.3541 N=20: 2.9320 N=25: 2.6690 N=30: 2.9417 N=50: 3.2021 N=100: 3.5718 N=150: 4.2079 Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB). Closes #708.
