This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.
|
|
|
|
As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when
copying paths between stores.
Also refactored import/export to make use of this.
|
|
|
|
This is to allow store-specific configuration,
e.g. s3://my-cache?compression=bzip2&secret-key=/path/to/key.
|
|
If --no-build-output is given (which will become the default for the
"nix" command at least), show the last 10 lines of the build output if
the build fails.
|
|
This was added to support Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
|
|
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
|
|
|
|
This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be
used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.
|
|
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.
This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().
|
|
This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
|
|
This imports signatures from one store into another. E.g.
$ nix copy-sigs -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org/
imported 595 signatures
|
|
These are content-addressed paths or outputs of locally performed
builds. They are trusted even if they don't have signatures, so "nix
verify-paths" won't complain about them.
|
|
Doing a chdir() is a bad idea in multi-threaded programs, leading to
failures such as
error: cannot connect to daemon at ‘/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket’: No such file or directory
Since Linux doesn't have a connectat() syscall like FreeBSD, there is
no way we can support this in a race-free way.

This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores:
NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --verify-path /nix/store/s5c7...
|
|
This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a
download of a NAR it just uploaded to the cache when reading files
like hydra-build-products.
|
|
|
|
This is necessary for long-running processes like hydra-queue-runner:
if a nix-daemon worker is killed, we need to stop reusing that
connection.
|
|
|
|
This allows a RemoteStore object to be used safely from multiple
threads concurrently. It will make multiple daemon connections if
necessary.
Note: pool.hh and sync.hh have been copied from the Hydra source tree.

Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).
So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.
Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).
Fixes #173.

Hello!
The patch below adds a ‘verifyStore’ RPC with the same signature as the
current LocalStore::verifyStore method.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

We were importing paths without sorting them topologically, leading to
"path is not valid" errors.
See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12451761
|

This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).
It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.
Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.
|
|
When copying a large path causes the daemon to run out of memory, you
now get:
error: Nix daemon out of memory
instead of:
error: writing to file: Broken pipe
|
|
I.e. if you have a derivation with
src = ./huge-directory;
you'll get a warning that this is not a good idea.
|
|
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)
For example:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
...
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'
The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.
The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So
we turn this off for Perl programs.
