2019-07-25	Disable CLONE_NEWUSER when it’s unavailable	Matthew Bauer	1	-1/+4
	Some kernels disable "unpriveleged user namespaces". This is unfortunate, but we can still use mount namespaces. Anyway, since each builder has its own nixbld user, we already have most of the benefits of user namespaces.
2019-02-05	Revert "Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	This reverts commit a0ef21262f4d5652bfb65cfacaec01d89c475a93. This doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable. Fixes #2646.
2018-11-13	Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	This ensures that they can't write to /nix/store. Fixes #2535.
2018-08-19	nix run: Restore CPU affinity	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	Fixes #2359.
2018-08-09	nix run: Respect propagated-user-env-packages	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+21
	Also, add $path/bin to $PATH even if it doesn't exist. This makes 'man' work properly (since it looks for ../share/man relative to $PATH entries).
2018-02-26	nix run: Fix segfault on macOS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
	Note that clearenv() is not available on macOS. Fixes #1907.
2018-02-19	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	Also add some examples to nix --help.
2017-11-20	nix run: Fix "flag '--command' requires 2 argument(s)"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2017-11-20	nix run: Fix accidental removal of /nix/store existence check	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Parenthetical to #1686, we don't need to create a new root if we can just bind-mount on top of the existing /nix/store.
2017-11-20	nix run: Ignore non-directories while setting up the chroot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+6
	Fixes #1686.
2017-10-24	nix: Respect -I, --arg, --argstr	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6
	Also, random cleanup to argument handling.
2017-09-28	nix run: Restore signals	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Otherwise Ctrl-C doesn't work.
2017-09-10	nix build: Only download the requested derivation outputs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Also some refactoring.
2017-09-07	nix run: Add some examples	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18

2017-09-06	nix build: Add --out-link and --no-link options	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2017-08-31	More macOS build fixes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2017-08-31	Fix build failure on non-Linux	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	https://hydra.nixos.org/build/59649086
2017-08-29	nix run: Flush the progress bar before starting the command	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2017-08-29	nix run: Add some flags for clearing/keeping the environment	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+49
	This is useful for testing commands in isolation. For example, $ nix run nixpkgs.geeqie -i -k DISPLAY -k XAUTHORITY -c geeqie runs geeqie in an empty environment, except for $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY.
2017-08-29	nix run: Allow passing a command to execute	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+14
	E.g. nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is necessary. "-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.
2017-08-29	nix run: Fix chroot execution	Eelco Dolstra	1	-60/+99
	Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g. $ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads. So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix __run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().
2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim	1	-8/+8
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-14	StorePathsCommand: Don't build installables	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	On second though this was annoying. E.g. "nix log nixpkgs.hello" would build/download Hello first, even though the log can be fetched directly from the binary cache. May need to revisit this.
2017-04-25	StorePathCommands: Build installables	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+1
	So for instance "nix copy --to ... nixpkgs.hello" will build nixpkgs.hello first. It's debatable whether this is a good idea. It seems desirable for commands like "nix copy" but maybe not for commands like "nix path-info".
2017-04-25	Move code around	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2017-04-25	Restructure installables handling in the "nix" command	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+3

2016-11-26	Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+8
	This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25	Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)	Guillaume Maudoux	1	-8/+8

2016-06-02	nix run: Set a reasonable uid/gid	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2016-06-02	nix run: Handle the case where the /nix/store mount point doesn't exist	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+39

2016-06-02	nix run: Mount the Nix store in a private namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+21
	This is a convenience command to allow users who are not privileged to create /nix/store to use Nix with regular binary caches. For example, $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=$HOME/nix/var&real=/$HOME/nix/store" nix run firefox bashInteractive will download Firefox and bash from cache.nixos.org, then start a shell in which $HOME/nix/store is mounted on /nix/store.
2016-06-02	Add basic "nix run" command	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+62
