This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.

‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.

root
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":
$ nix-build -A pkg
produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;
$ nix-build -A pkg.man
produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;
$ nix-build -A pkg.all
produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;
$ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2
produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.
The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This
is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are
processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
|
|
|
|
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.
$ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false
Note that
$ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''
does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm
(e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602). Ah well.

If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files
in the store, rather than copying them. This is faster and requires
less disk space. However, it doesn't work if the store is on a
different file system.
|
|
This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist
in the binary cache.
|
|
|
|
I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)
Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
|

This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.
Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command). So go back to the simple single-user version.
Fixes #49.

Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per
day. However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env
-qas"), negative lookups are ignored after one hour. This is to
ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like
"nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache.
Should probably make this configurable.

Note that this will only work if the client has a very recent Nix
version (post 15e1b2c223494ecb5efefc3ea0e3b926a6b1d7dc), otherwise the
--option flag will just be ignored.
Fixes #50.

Older versions of WWW::Curl don't support scalar references for
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA directly.

This handles the chroot and build hook cases, which are easy.
Supporting the non-chroot-build case will require more work (hash
rewriting!).
Issue #21.

Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by
nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out",
nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation
that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks
"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
|
|
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear
in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in
nix.conf.
|
|
|
|
You can use ‘--option binary-caches URLs’ instead.
|
|
The .nixpkg file format is extended to optionally include the URL of a
binary cache, which will be used in preference to the manifest URL
(which can be set to a non-existent value).
|
|
Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially
hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD
requests. So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named
"nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this. It
also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries
to a binary cache for a different store prefix.
|
|
Since SubstitutionGoal::finished() in build.cc computes the hash
anyway, we can prevent the inefficiency of computing the hash twice by
letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can
then verify it.
