E.g. you can now redirect /etc/resolv.conf to a different file.

Not every distribution uses nscd.

This fixes "No such file or directory" when opening /dev/ptmx
(e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51094249).
The reason appears to be some changes to /dev/ptmx / /dev/pts handling
between Linux 4.4 and 4.9. See
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7832531/.
The fix is to go back to mounting a proper /dev/pts instance inside
the sandbox. Happily, this now works inside user namespaces, even for
unprivileged users. So
NIX_REMOTE=local?root=/tmp/nix nix-build \
'<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test
works for non-root users.
The downside is that the fix breaks sandbox builds on older kernels
(probably pre-4.6), since mounting a devpts fails inside user
namespaces for some reason I've never been able to figure out. Builds
on those systems will fail with
error: while setting up the build environment: mounting /dev/pts: Invalid argument
Ah well.

Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the
user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be
evaluated.
There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to
run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to:
* Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision
* git rev-parse HEAD
* Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from
other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like
cabal or npm
* Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops)
* Private repository fetching
Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to
nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these
tasks done.
The primop is only available when the
'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That
flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more
powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin
against the running version of nix).

These were generated by a legacy tool.
|

|
This is consistent with the behaviour of the old
download-from-binary-cache substituter.
|
|
This corresponds to the NixOS default.

Fixes #1283.

NixOps needs this.

For example, this cuts "nix-copy-closure --from" on a NixOS system
closure from 15.9s to 0.5s.
|
|
This avoids the latency of the standard implementation, which can make
a huge difference (e.g. 16.5s -> 0.5s on a NixOS system closure).

They convey no useful information.

For example, if we call brotli with an empty input, it shouldn't read
from the caller's stdin.
|
|
So if "text-compression=br", the .ls file in S3 will get a
Content-Encoding of "br". Brotli appears to compress better than xz
for this kind of file and is natively supported by browsers.
|
|
This is necessary for serving log files to browsers.
|
|
You can now set the store parameter "text-compression=br" to compress
textual files in the binary cache (i.e. narinfo and logs) using
Brotli. This sets the Content-Encoding header; the extension of
compressed files is unchanged.
You can separately specify the compression of log files using
"log-compression=br". This is useful when you don't want to compress
narinfo files for backward compatibility.
|
|
Build logs on cache.nixos.org are compressed using Brotli (since this
allows them to be decompressed automatically by Chrome and Firefox),
so it's handy if "nix log" can decompress them.
|
|
We assume that build logs are stored under log/<drv>, e.g.
/nix/store/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv
maps to
https://cache.nixos.org/log/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv
|
|
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.

This is unnecessary because we make only one connection.

|
* Unify SSH code in SSHStore and LegacySSHStore.
* Fix a race starting the SSH master. We now wait synchronously for
the SSH master to finish starting. This prevents the SSH clients
from starting their own connections.
* Don't use a master if max-connections == 1.
* Add a "max-connections" store parameter.
* Add a "compress" store parameter.

When receiving a very large file, this can prevent the string from
having tobe copied, which temporarily doubles memory consumption.
|
|
This allows the NAR to be streamed in the future (though we're not
doing that yet).

Also templatize readInt() to work for various integer types.

This is necessary because we have multiple SQLite databases (e.g. the
binary cache cache).
|
|
"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.)
