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.

Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

Those options seem to only apply with --eval and not with --parse.
2017-05-01 Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOADEelco Dolstra2-146/+2
This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment variables predate nix.conf. The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote). The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.

This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for newcomers to Nix. This change clarifies the example to one that can be copied in its entirety.

2017-04-12 Move note about float support out of the wrong release notesBenjamin Staffin2-7/+7
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

2017-03-15 Store: Add a method for getting build logsEelco Dolstra2-20/+1
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.

2017-02-28 Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra2-5/+6
"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.
2017-02-27 Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit message for de4cdd0d47adc70a4db12397a42c18ee50b4e662 also got this wrong.)

2016-11-03 installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)Manav Rathi1-0/+8
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh in, say, .profile. This commit introduces a new environment variable, NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation, then the modifications are unconditionally skipped. This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if it exists. This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and the new override.
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.
