2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra	9	-112/+55

2013-02-28	Handle systems without lutimes() or lchown()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-02-28	Handle symlinks properly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Now it's really brown paper bag time...
2013-02-27	Handle hard links to other files in the output	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+26

2013-02-27	Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()	Eelco Dolstra	3	-37/+52
	Also, change the file mode before changing the owner. This prevents a slight time window in which a setuid binary would be setuid root.
2013-02-26	Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own	Eelco Dolstra	4	-12/+15
	It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do ln /etc/shadow $out/foo Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo, causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but writable by nobody). That's obviously Very Bad. Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because /nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid cross-device link". It also fails if hard-link restrictions are enabled, so a workaround is: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build user. This means that innocuous operations like "ln ${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed in chroot builds anyway.
2013-02-19	Add `Settings::nixDaemonSocketFile'.	Ludovic Courtès	4	-9/+13

2013-02-19	Enable chroot support on old glibc versions.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+6

2013-01-23	Only warn about SQLite being busy once	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	No need to get annoying.
2013-01-17	Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5
	...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation. Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences. For instance, ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551: Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.
2013-01-05	Delete a left-over trash directory before doing a GC	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2013-01-04	Fix "0 store paths deleted" message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2013-01-03	Open the database after removing immutable bits	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-01-03	Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store	Eelco Dolstra	5	-22/+64
	Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2013-01-02	If a substitute closure is incomplete, build dependencies, then retry the ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+28
	substituter Issue #77.
2013-01-02	Automatically fall back if the references of a substitute are not substitutable	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Fixes #77.
2012-12-29	nix-build: Support talking to old daemons	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	Fixes #76.
2012-12-29	Allow mounting a path in a different location in the chroot	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+17
	Fixes #24.
2012-12-20	nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings	Eelco Dolstra	7	-24/+59
	So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store -q --roots’ now shows that root.
2012-12-20	Yet another rewrite of the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	2	-131/+138
	But this time it's obviously correct! No more segfaults due to infinite recursions for sure, etc. Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to /nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>. Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at the end.
2012-12-19	If gc-keep-derivations is set, only keep the actual deriver	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle that can occur with fixed-output derivations).
2012-12-19	Kill the build hook rather than shutting it down cleanly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+1
	Waiting for the hook to shut down cleanly sometimes seems to lead to hangs.
2012-12-18	Revert brain fart	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	This reverts commit cc511fd65b7b6de9e87e72fb4bed16fc7efeb8b7.
2012-12-18	Check for potential infinite select() loops when building	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2012-12-11	On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+7
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-26	queryMissing(): Handle partially valid derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6

2012-11-26	Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	4	-21/+77
	If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download those outputs that are actuallty needed. So if we do "nix-build -A openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded. Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}. The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the corresponding derivation goal if that happens.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	4	-7/+38
	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.
2012-11-15	Disable use of vfork()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.
2012-11-15	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra	2	-11/+9
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra	3	-19/+33
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09	Remove definition of non-existant function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2012-11-09	Remove some redundant close() calls	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+0
	They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5

2012-11-09	Remove a Darwin hack that should no longer be needed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0

2012-11-09	Don't start copy-from-other-stores if $NIX_OTHER_STORES is unset	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Slight optimisation.
2012-11-09	Remove unnecessary call to closeMostFDs()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	We have close-on-exec on all FDs now, and there is no security risk in passing open FDs to substituters anyway.
2012-11-06	canonicalizePathMetaData: Fall-back to utimes if lutimes fails due to ENOSYS	Shea Levy	1	-0/+2

2012-10-23	If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Fixes #57.
2012-10-11	Shorten the names of temporary build directories	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-04	nix-store --verify: Continue on errors	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2012-10-04	Fix regular expression	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3123177
2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra	1	-55/+3
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	Remove bin2c	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3

2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2012-10-03	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	7	-21/+25
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-10-03	Handle repairing paths that are in build-chroot-dirs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2012-10-03	When repairing a derivation, check and repair the entire output closure	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+91
	If we find a corrupted path in the output closure, we rebuild the derivation that produced that particular path.
2012-10-02	Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs	Eelco Dolstra	6	-63/+113
	With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt, it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by rebuilding the derivation. The latter may use hash rewriting if chroots are not available.
