Shea Levy 58204a3c39 corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local builds
nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH.
Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist
in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix
installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the
generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote
machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that
instantiates it.

Florian Friesdorf 7cf539c728 buildenv: remove special treatment of python files
buildPythonPackage does not leave easy_install.pth and site.py
anymore. A python package that leaves these files is broken. An
exception to this is setuptoolsSite which packages setuptools'
site.py. To include it into a buildenv, this patch is even needed, not
just cosmetic.

Eelco Dolstra 46a369ad95 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":

  $ nix-build -A pkg

produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.man

produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all

produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2

produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

Eelco Dolstra 5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.

Shea Levy b1112bbef1 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation attrset.
The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with
the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output.

I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more):

* Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix)

* Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver
  for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed
  in environment.systemPackages, for example.

* Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an
  input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH
  (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build
  being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this
  feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

Eelco Dolstra 6b1e671ac6 Fix xz compression 2012-07-01 21:57:25 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra f4190c38ba Allow both bzip2 and xz compression 2012-07-01 18:46:38 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4911a10a4e Use XZ compression in binary caches
XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2.  Here are the
compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on
my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB):

  bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08]
  xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53]
  xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19]
  xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18]
  xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40]

Note that compression takes much longer.  More importantly, however,
decompression is much faster:

  bzip2: 1m47.274s
  xz -6: 0m55.446s
  xz -7: 0m54.119s
  xz -8: 0m52.388s
  xz -9: 0m51.842s

The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair
amount (~65 MB) of memory.

Eelco Dolstra 663c06e8cd Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs
The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or
in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.

Eelco Dolstra e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).

Eelco Dolstra a0477a458f * currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporal
aspect.

Eelco Dolstra b79b85ad76 * Export the original input attributes of the derivation in
‘drvAttrs’.  This will simplify the implementation of functions such
  as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any
  added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04 11:56:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83647f4ef1 * Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out the
common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc.  Note
  that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs"
  attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of
  outputs.  This seems more user-friendly.
