2015-04-18	Add the pre-build hook.	Shea Levy	3	-0/+41
	This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full access to the chroot root. The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example, on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.
2015-04-18	Revert "Add the pre-build hook."	Shea Levy	3	-112/+0
	Going to reimplement differently. This reverts commit 1e4a4a2e9fc382f47f58b448f3ee034cdd28218a.
2015-04-16	Fix using restricted mode with chroots	Eelco Dolstra	4	-0/+9

2015-04-09	Use cached result if there is a network error	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+15

2015-04-09	Move curl stuff into a separate file	Eelco Dolstra	3	-112/+150

2015-04-09	Implement a TTL on cached fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+34
	This is because we don't want to do HTTP requests on every evaluation, even though we can prevent a full redownload via the cached ETag. The default is one hour.
2015-04-09	Implement caching of fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra	4	-24/+147
	ETags are used to prevent redownloading unchanged files.
2015-04-07	Revert /nix/store permission back to 01775	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	This broke NixOS VM tests. Mostly reverts 27b7b94923d2f207781b438bb7a57669bddf7d2b, 5ce50cd99e740d0d0f18c30327ae687be9356553, afa433e58c3fe6029660a43fdc2073c9d15b4210.
2015-04-02	Chroot builds: Provide world-readable /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	This was causing NixOS VM tests to fail mysteriously since 5ce50cd99e740d0d0f18c30327ae687be9356553. Nscd could (sometimes) no longer read /etc/hosts: open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY\|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) Probably there was some wacky interaction between the guest kernel and the 9pfs implementation in QEMU.
2015-03-25	Add fetchTarball builtin	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+120
	This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch Nixpkgs 14.12: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {}; Or to fetch a specific revision: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/2766a4b44ee6eafae03a042801270c7f6b8ed32a.tar.gz) {}; This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.
2015-03-25	addToStore(): Take explicit name argument	Eelco Dolstra	8	-35/+35

2015-03-24	Improve setting the default chroot dirs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7

2015-03-24	Add the closure of store paths to the chroot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	Thus, for example, to get /bin/sh in a chroot, you only need to specify /bin/sh=${pkgs.bash}/bin/sh in build-chroot-dirs. The dependencies of sh will be added automatically.
2015-03-24	Tighten permissions on chroot directories	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+12

2015-03-24	Don't rely on __noChroot for corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures that its closure is present in the chroot.
2015-03-19	Disable scanning for interior pointers	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	This may remove the "Repeated allocation of very large block" warnings.
2015-03-19	Fix Boehm API violation	Eelco Dolstra	4	-38/+48
	We were calling GC_INIT() after doing an allocation (in the baseEnv construction), which is not allowed.
2015-03-19	Check return values from malloc/strdup	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+34

2015-03-18	Print some Boehm GC stats	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2015-03-18	valueSize(): Take into account list/bindings/env size	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+15

2015-03-06	Fix typos: s/the the/the/	Daniel Hahler	2	-2/+2

2015-03-06	forceValueDeep: Add to error prefix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2015-03-06	Improve error message	Eelco Dolstra	2	-19/+25

2015-03-04	Add option to hide display of missing paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2015-03-04	Don't use vfork() before clone()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	I'm seeing hangs in Glibc's setxid_mark_thread() again. This is probably because the use of an intermediate process to make clone() safe from a multi-threaded program (see 524f89f1399724e596f61faba2c6861b1bb7b9c5) is defeated by the use of vfork(), since the intermediate process will have a copy of Glibc's threading data structures due to the vfork(). So use a regular fork() again.
2015-03-03	Merge branch 'allow-system-library' of git://github.com/copumpkin/nix	Shea Levy	1	-1/+1
	Make the default impure prefix include all of /System/Library
2015-03-02	Make the default impure prefix (not actual allowed impurities!) include all ↵	Dan Peebles	1	-1/+1
	of /System/Library, since we also want PrivateFrameworks from there and (briefly) TextEncodings, and who knows what else. Yay infectious impurities?
2015-03-02	Allow local networking in the darwin sandbox to appease tests	Dan Peebles	1	-0/+3

2015-02-23	More graceful fallback for chroots on Linux < 2.13	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+5

2015-02-23	Use chroots for all derivations	Eelco Dolstra	3	-17/+35
	If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get a private network namespace, so they can still access the network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is no longer allowed. Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.
2015-02-23	Add restricted evaluation mode	Eelco Dolstra	5	-11/+50
	If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.
2015-02-19	Merge branch 'tilde-paths' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+6

2015-02-19	tilde paths: The rest of the string has to start with a slash anyway	Shea Levy	1	-1/+1

2015-02-19	tilde paths: construct the entire path at parse time	Shea Levy	1	-6/+1

2015-02-19	tilde paths: get HOME at parse time	Shea Levy	1	-3/+1

2015-02-19	Remove obsolete reference to ~ operator	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2015-02-19	ExprConcatStrings: canonicalize concatenated paths	Shea Levy	1	-1/+2

2015-02-19	Allow the leading component of a path to be a ~	Shea Levy	2	-1/+11

2015-02-18	nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key: Write key to disk	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8
	This ensures proper permissions for the secret key.
2015-02-17	Use $<attr>Path instead of $<attr> for passAsFile	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2015-02-17	Allow passing attributes via files instead of environment variables	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+16
	Closes #473.
2015-02-16	Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible	Harald van Dijk	1	-7/+28
	chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible. Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be put to their full use.
2015-02-10	Make libsodium an optional dependency	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2015-02-10	Add base64 encoder/decoder	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+66

2015-02-05	Remove tab	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2015-02-04	Require linux 3.13 or later for chroot	Shea Levy	1	-1/+6
	Fixes #453
2015-02-04	Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing	Eelco Dolstra	4	-10/+53
	Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’. The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and prints a public and secret key.
