From 276a40b31f631c188d6dcbdf603a738e1380ff74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 16:02:05 +0200 Subject: Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names that differ only in case, then importing will fail. The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~") to colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to "xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR, the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the original file names back. Closes #119. --- tests/local.mk | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tests/local.mk') diff --git a/tests/local.mk b/tests/local.mk index add6d7b7b4da..65aa12637055 100644 --- a/tests/local.mk +++ b/tests/local.mk @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ nix_tests = \ remote-store.sh export.sh export-graph.sh negative-caching.sh \ binary-patching.sh timeout.sh secure-drv-outputs.sh nix-channel.sh \ multiple-outputs.sh import-derivation.sh fetchurl.sh optimise-store.sh \ - binary-cache.sh nix-profile.sh repair.sh dump-db.sh + binary-cache.sh nix-profile.sh repair.sh dump-db.sh case-hack.sh # parallel.sh install-tests += $(foreach x, $(nix_tests), tests/$(x)) -- cgit 1.4.1
