2020-03-13 style.css: RemoveEelco Dolstra2-265/+1
This file is licensed under the GPL. Originally, Nix was also GPL-licensed so that was fine. However, we later changed the license to the LGPL but missed the fact that style.css has an incompatible license. Since the Nix manual at nixos.org uses its own styling, we can remove this file. Fixes #3392. (cherry picked from commit 9c7e90f414067eb59170bde952d5b8ac03c8f46c)
2020-02-18 doc: touchup release notes for 2.3Benjamin Hipple1-8/+7
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default, then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These can be merged into one point for clarity. - The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing. (cherry picked from commit 5d24e18e29ea1fff8fa316701fd95be6941da770)

2020-01-04 Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cacheChaz Schlarp1-1/+0
`s3:ListObjects` isn't a real IAM action, but _is_ the name of an S3 API method. `s3:ListBucket` is the relevant action for that method. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/list_amazons3.html (cherry picked from commit c92ea927e508f3c06b6b3ee68e1f0565264cac2c)

2019-10-09 docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tagJulien Tanguy1-4/+1
With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work anymore. However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags, such as "refs/tags/2.0". Closes #2385. (cherry picked from commit ae244af242ca3621e5a3b9196f27d9fcbf297266)

Make curl's low speed limit configurable via stalled-download-timeout. Before, this limit was five minutes without receiving a single byte. This is much too long as if the remote end may not have even acknowledged the HTTP request.

2019-08-02 Add a post-build-hookregnat3-0/+213
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause `/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following environment variables set: DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure of the final derivation or are built because of IFD). This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build` and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2 compatible format: [nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix these derivations will be built: /nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv building '/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv'... hello! bye! running post-build-hook '/home/grahamc/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix/post-hook.sh'... post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + echo 'Signing paths' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: Signing paths /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + echo 'Uploading paths' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: Uploading paths /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + printf 'very important stuff' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation [nix-shell:~/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix build -L -f ./test.nix my-example-derivation> hello! my-example-derivation> bye! my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + echo 'Signing paths' /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> Signing paths /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + echo 'Uploading paths' /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> Uploading paths /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + printf 'very important stuff' [1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] Co-authored-by: Graham Christensen <graham@grahamc.com> Co-authored-by: Eelco Dolstra <edolstra@gmail.com>

2019-07-03 autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.Niklas Hambüchen1-1/+1
And probably many other distributions. Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11 feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features). This is because older distributions don't come with the `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro. This commit vendors that macro accordingly. Now ./configure complains correctly: configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required. On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test using: ./bootstrap.sh ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)
2019-07-03 autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.Niklas Hambüchen1-0/+4
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases. Also update manual stating what version is needed; I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles, and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release that nix uses.
