2013-03-25 makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permissionShea Levy1-2/+2
It is surprisingly impossible to check if a mountpoint is a bind mount on Linux, and in my previous commit I forgot to check if /nix/store was even a mountpoint at all. statvfs.f_flag is not populated with MS_BIND (and even if it were, my check was wrong in the previous commit). Luckily, the semantics of mount with MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND make both checks unnecessary: if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, then mount will fail with EINVAL, and if /nix/store is not a bind-mount, then it will not be made writable. Thus, if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, we fail immediately (since we don't know how to make it writable), and if /nix/store IS a mountpoint but not a bind-mount, we fail at first write (see below for why we can't check and fail immediately). Note that, due to what is IMO buggy behavior in Linux, calling mount with MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND on a non-bind readonly mount makes the mountpoint appear writable in two places: In the sixth (but not the 10th!) column of mountinfo, and in the f_flags member of struct statfs. All other syscalls behave as if the mount point were still readonly (at least for Linux 3.9-rc1, but I don't think this has changed recently or is expected to soon). My preferred semantics would be for MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND to fail on a non-bind mount, as it doesn't make sense to remount a non bind-mount as a bind mount.
2013-03-25 makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out ↵Shea Levy1-21/+12
if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount /nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2013-03-08 Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"Eelco Dolstra16-104/+177
This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07 Prevent config.h from being clobberedEelco Dolstra16-177/+104
2013-02-28 Handle systems without lutimes() or lchown()Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1

Now it's really brown paper bag time...
2013-02-27 Handle hard links to other files in the outputEelco Dolstra1-6/+26
2013-02-27 Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()Eelco Dolstra3-37/+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 ownEelco Dolstra5-20/+17
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 build-remote: Use the --quiet flagEelco Dolstra1-5/+2
‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.
2013-02-19 Add `Settings::nixDaemonSocketFile'.Ludovic Courtès5-10/+14

2013-02-08 Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a pathEelco Dolstra3-5/+7
Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like exec = "${./my-script} params..."; to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation: exec = ./my-script + " params..."; By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as expected: exec = " ${./my-script} params..."; Now the first example also evaluates to a string.

No need to get annoying.
2013-01-22 Correctly handle missing logsEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2013-01-17 Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>Eelco Dolstra2-30/+37
...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 GCEelco Dolstra1-1/+4

2013-01-03 Clear any immutable bits in the Nix storeEelco Dolstra9-86/+66
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 Dolstra1-7/+28
substituter Issue #77.

Fixes #24.
2012-12-20 nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settingsEelco Dolstra9-25/+64
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 collectorEelco Dolstra2-131/+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 deriverEelco Dolstra1-1/+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 cleanlyEelco Dolstra1-7/+1
Waiting for the hook to shut down cleanly sometimes seems to lead to hangs.

2012-12-11 On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of timeEelco Dolstra2-1/+7
If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.

2012-12-04 nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivationEelco Dolstra1-10/+25
If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.

We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-27 Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributesEelco Dolstra3-11/+24
This allows adding attributes like attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null; without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms. We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose, but using null seems more elegant.
2012-11-27 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’Eelco Dolstra6-2/+18
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 Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivationEelco Dolstra4-21/+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.
