The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote
nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole)
ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit
of the latter, filter them out.

This makes hydra-eval-jobs create roots as regular files. See
1c208f2b7ef8ffb5e6d435d703dad83223a67bd6.

This is useful for extending (rather than overriding) the default set
of chroot paths.
|
|
|
|
By default, we now include /bin/sh as a bind-mount of bash.
|
|
|
|
This ensures that daemon clients see error messages from the chroot
setup.
|
|
This means that getting the roots from /nix/var/nix/.../hydra-roots
doesn't need any I/O other than reading the directory.
|
|
|
|
If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store
path. For instance, the existence of the file
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
would cause
/nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
to be a root.
This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink()
call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes
up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more
efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org,
which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots
can take 25 minutes.

Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.

Now you only have to pass ‘--option ssh-substituter-hosts
nix-ssh@bla’ to enable SSH substitution.

‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated
rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to
‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.
‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.
The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.
Closes #119.

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.

This causes nix-copy-closure to show what it's doing before rather
than after.

allow-arbitrary-code-during-evaluation option is true (default false)

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.

If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:
log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log
then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:
$ nix-store -l $(which xterm)
and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

readdir() already returns the inode numbers, so we don't need to call
lstat to know if a file was already linked or not.
|
|
|
|
By preloading all inodes in the /nix/store/.links directory, we can
quickly determine of a hardlinked file was already linked to the hashed
links.
This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.
|
|
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.
There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.
Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.
|
|
This automatically creates /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user and sets the
permissions/ownership on /nix/store to 1775 and root:nixbld.
|
|
More zero configuration.
|
|
This removes the need to have a nix.conf, and prevents people from
accidentally running Nix builds as root.
