2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2014-08-01	Call commonChildInit() before doing chroot init	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+10
	This ensures that daemon clients see error messages from the chroot setup.

2014-07-10	Fix broken Pid constructor	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2

2014-07-10	Refactoring: Move all fork handling into a higher-order function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-54/+53
	C++11 lambdas ftw.
2014-07-10	Remove maybeVfork	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+1

2014-05-21	nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	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.
2014-04-08	If a .drv cannot be parsed, show its path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Otherwise you just get ‘expected string `Derive(['’ which isn't very helpful.
2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+13
	Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-02-26	Remove another unused function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+0

2014-02-26	Remove unused function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+0

2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+0
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik	1	-2/+2

2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+0
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-07-30	killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple	Shea Levy	1	-0/+13
	The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't safely conclude that killUser was successful. Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

2013-07-12	Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarily	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-06-20	Don't keep "disabled" substituters running	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-01-03	Remove tabs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-44/+44

2013-01-03	Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0
	Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+13
	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	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+20
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-15	Add some debug code	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+11
	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 some redundant close() calls	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+8
	They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+3

2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+15

2012-09-19	Templatise tokenizeString()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+10

2012-08-20	In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems private	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	This is required on systemd, which mounts filesystems as "shared" subtrees. Changes to shared trees in a private mount namespace are propagated to the outside world, which is bad.
2012-08-01	Drop the block count in the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+8

2012-08-01	Doh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-08-01	Report substituter errors to clients of the Nix daemon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2012-07-26	Set permissions on temporary build directories to 0700	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Fixes #39.
2012-06-25	When using chroots, use a private PID namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from the rest of the system. The initial child gets PID 1. Processes in the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot. This improves isolation between builds. However, processes on the outside can see processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have appropriate rights). Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in the chroot. This might turn out to be a problem. In that case we'll need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().
2012-03-05	Set the close-on-exec flag on file descriptors	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12

2012-02-15	On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr +i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable bit before creating the link.
2012-02-09	Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2011-12-22	* In the garbage collector, delete invalid paths before deleting	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	unreachable paths. This matters when using --max-freed etc.: unreachable paths could become reachable again, so it's nicer to keep them if there is "real" garbage to be deleted. Also, don't use readDirectory() but read the Nix store and delete invalid paths in parallel. This reduces GC latency on very large Nix stores.
