| 2007-01-29 | * computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -6/+18 | |
| computing the store path (NIX-77). This is an important security property in multi-user Nix stores. Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile). | |||||
| 2007-01-29 | * Don't capitalise the primop functions. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -76/+81 | |
| 2007-01-29 | * Organise primops.cc a bit better. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -321/+376 | |
| 2007-01-29 | New primitives: | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+43 | |
| * `sub' to subtract two numbers. * `stringLength' to get the length of a string. * `substring' to get a substring of a string. These should be enough to allow most string operations to be expressed. | |||||
| 2007-01-29 | * filterSource: pass strings to the predicate function instead of | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| paths. Paths can have unexpected semantics. | |||||
| 2007-01-24 | * Nasty: Glibc clears the TMPDIR environment variable in setuid | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+8 | |
| programs, so if a builder uses TMPDIR, then it will fail when executed through nix-setuid-helper. In fact Glibc clears a whole bunch of variables (see sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h in the Glibc sources), but only TMPDIR should matter in practice. As a workaround, we reinitialise TMPDIR from NIX_BUILD_TOP. | |||||
| 2007-01-23 | * exportReferencesGraph: work on paths within store paths as well. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+10 | |
| 2007-01-15 | * Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -7/+7 | |
| 2007-01-15 | * builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular", | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+18 | |
| "directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter predicate. | |||||
| 2007-01-14 | * `nix-store --verify': revive checking the referrers table. This is | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -42/+56 | |
| important to get garbage collection to work if there is any inconsistency in the database (because the referrer table is used to determine whether it is safe to delete a path). * `nix-store --verify': show some progress. | |||||
| 2007-01-14 | * Make the garbage collector more resilient to certain consistency | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -4/+10 | |
| errors: in-use paths now cause a warning, not a fatal error. | |||||
| 2007-01-14 | * Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75) | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -27/+63 | |
| 2007-01-13 | * nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+9 | |
| * nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and print them on stdout. This allows them to be installed, e.g., "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)". (NIX-64) | |||||
| 2007-01-13 | * Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiate | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -15/+20 | |
| (NIX-74). | |||||
| 2007-01-13 | * Removed chroot support. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+0 | |
| 2007-01-13 | * Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -1/+45 | |
| info, sort attribute sets. | |||||
| 2007-01-13 | * Memoize strict evaluation. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -13/+29 | |
| 2007-01-13 | * printTermAsXML: treat derivations specially; emit an element | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -11/+55 | |
| <derivation outPath=... drvPath=...> attrs </derivation>. Only emit the attributes of any specific derivation only. This prevents exponententially large XML output due to the absense of sharing. | |||||
| 2007-01-13 | * Make printing an expression as XML interruptible. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+7 | |
| 2007-01-13 | * Cleanup. | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -16/+16 | |
| 2006-12-13 | * Remove debug message. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+0 | |
| 2006-12-12 | * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files | Eelco Dolstra | 15 | -66/+114 | |
| from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way. | |||||
| 2006-12-12 | * In dumpPath(): pass a function object that allows files to be | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -14/+28 | |
| selectively in/excluded from the dump. | |||||
| 2006-12-12 | * New operation `nix-env --set' which sets a user environment to a | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+28 | |
| single derivation specified by the argument. This is useful when we want to have a profile for a single derivation, such as a server configuration. Then we can just say (e.g.) $ nix-env -p /.../server-profile -f server.nix --set -A server We can't do queries or upgrades on such a profile, but we can do rollbacks. The advantage over -i is that we don't have to worry about other packages having been installed in the profile previously; --set gets rid of them. | |||||
| 2006-12-12 | * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+21 | |
| names of the attributes in an attribute set. | |||||
| 2006-12-09 | * Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+38 | |
| matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid helper (which already used lchown()). * Also check for an obscure security problem on platforms that don't have lchown. Then we can't change the ownership of symlinks, which doesn't matter *except* when the containing directory is writable by the owner (which is the case with the top-level Nix store directory). | |||||
| 2006-12-09 | * Use deletePathWrapped() in more places. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -22/+31 | |
| 2006-12-08 | * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handled | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -38/+85 | |
| very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the `children' map. | |||||
| 2006-12-08 | * Some refactoring. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -95/+118 | |
| * Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors. This matters when --keep-going is turned on. (A BuildError is caught and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the program.) | |||||
| 2006-12-08 | * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -20/+79 | |
| seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65). This timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting. The default is infinity (0). * Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait(). So also send a conventional kill to the child. | |||||
| 2006-12-08 | * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -22/+36 | |
| in case of failure. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Remove ancient terminology. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+4 | |
| back to the Nix account. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -4/+4 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * Be less verbose. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * Rename all those main.cc files. | Eelco Dolstra | 10 | -5/+5 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * Check for lchown. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+7 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process, | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+14 | |
| since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't. Let the setuid helper do it. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil. | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -27/+23 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -31/+69 | |
| processes before and after the build. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -6/+31 | |
| ownership, then try again. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -7/+13 | |
| ownership of the build result after the build. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -38/+104 | |
| deleting them using the setuid helper. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -22/+10 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -26/+41 | |
| builder under the desired build user. | |||||
| 2006-12-07 | * Sanity check. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+7 | |
| 2006-12-07 | * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -48/+79 | |
| 2006-12-06 | * Change the ownership of the current directory to the build user. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+16 | |
| 2006-12-06 | * Verify that the desired target user is in the build users group (as | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -10/+43 | |
| specified in the setuid config file). | |||||
| 2006-12-06 | * Check that the caller is allowed to call the setuid helper. The | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -12/+49 | |
| allowed uid is specified in a configuration file in /etc/nix-setuid.conf. | |||||
