Remove .gitignore entries where they match source files that are tracked in
Git. This is relevant to me at least, as some code searching tools use
.gitignore files and will ignore matched files.
This allows for native builds on the Hurd, doing

Previously, a store item that is a regular file would not be accounted
for in the 'bytesFreed' value computed by 'deletePath' because its
'st_nlink' count would always be >= 2. This commit fixes that.

* nix/libutil/util.cc (_deletePath): Add 'linkThreshold' argument and
honor it. Pass it down in recursive call.
(deletePath): Add 'linkThreshold' and honor it.
* nix/libstore/gc.cc (LocalStore::deleteGarbage): Pass 'linkThreshold'
argument to 'deletePath', with a value of 2 when PATH is a store item
and deduplication is on.
This code has never been of any use in Guix.
* nix/libutil/archive.cc (useCaseHack): Remove.
(parse): Keep only the alternate branch in "if (useCaseHack)".

Preserve supplementary groups of build users
The following patch is an attempt to address this bug (see
<http://bugs.gnu.org/18994>) by preserving the supplementary groups of
build users in the build environment.
In practice, I would expect that supplementary groups would contain only
one or two groups: the build users group, and possibly the “kvm” group.

Allow substitutes for builds that have preferLocalBuild set
Not substituting builds with "preferLocalBuild = true" was a bad idea,
because it didn't take the cost of dependencies into account. For
instance, if we can't substitute a fetchgit call, then we have to
download/build git and all its dependencies.
Partially reverts 5558652709 and adds a
new derivation attribute "allowSubstitutes" to specify whether a
derivation may be substituted.

Chroot builds: Provide world-readable /nix/store
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.

Use chroots for all derivations
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.
Note for Guix: unlike Nix commit 99897f6, we keep 'settings.useChroot'.
commit 638f3675e1
Author: Harald van Dijk <harald@gigawatt.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 13 16:05:49 2015 +0000
Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible
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.

libutil: Limit readLink() error to only overflows.
Let's not just improve the error message itself, but also the behaviour
to actually work around the ntfs-3g symlink bug. If the readlink() call
returns a smaller size than the stat() call, this really isn't a problem
even if the symlink target really has changed between the calls.
So if stat() reports the size for the absolute path, it's most likely
that the relative path is smaller and thus it should also work for file
system bugs as mentioned in 93002d69fc58c2b71e2dfad202139230c630c53a.

Date: Fri Jan 2 03:27:39 2015 +0100
libutil: Improve errmsg on readLink size mismatch.
A message like "error: reading symbolic link `...' : Success" really is
quite confusing, so let's not indicate "success" but rather point out
the real issue.
We could also limit the check of this to just check for non-negative
values, but this would introduce a race condition between stat() and
readlink() if the link target changes between those two calls, thus
leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability.
Reported by @Ericson2314 on IRC. Happened due to a possible ntfs-3g bug
where a relative symlink returned the absolute path (st_)size in stat()
while readlink() returned the relative size.

Allow regular files as GC roots
If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store
path. For instance, the existence of the file
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
would cause
/nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
to be a root.
This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink()
call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes
up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more
efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org,
which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots
can take 25 minutes.

nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated
rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to
‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.
‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

Date: Wed Jul 16 16:02:05 2014 +0200
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~<integer>") 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.

build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).
It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.
Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition
There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a
remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client
first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies
over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the
remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present
paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted
paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both
steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’),
locking all paths in the closure while querying.
I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so
this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked
experimental anyway.
Fixes#141.

commit 5cd022d6c0
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Sun Jun 1 10:42:56 2014 -0400
Add importNative primop
This can be used to import a dynamic shared object and return an
arbitrary value, including new primops. This can be used both to test
new primops without having to recompile nix every time, and to build
specialized primops that probably don't belong upstream (e.g. a function
that calls out to gpg to decrypt a nixops secret as-needed).
The imported function should initialize the Value & as needed. A single
import can define multiple values by creating an attrset or list, of
course.
An example initialization function might look like:
extern "C" void initialize(nix::EvalState & state, nix::Value & v)
{
v.type = nix::tPrimOp;
v.primOp = NEW nix::PrimOp(myFun, 1, state.symbols.create("myFun"));
}
Then `builtins.importNative ./example.so "initialize"` will evaluate to
the primop defined in the myFun function.

Date: Mon May 26 17:02:22 2014 +0200
Make the Nix search path declarative
Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile
nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can
override the search path simply by saying
let
nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ];
in ... <nixpkgs> ...
In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit
c273c15cb1), the Nix search path can be
propagated across imports, e.g.
let
overrides = {
nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath;
import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
builtins = builtins // overrides;
};
in scopedImport overrides ./nixos

]
commit c273c15cb1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon May 26 13:46:11 2014 +0200
Add primop ‘scopedImport’
‘scopedImport’ works like ‘import’, except that it takes a set of
attributes to be added to the lexical scope of the expression,
essentially extending or overriding the builtin variables. For
instance, the expression
scopedImport { x = 1; } ./foo.nix
where foo.nix contains ‘x’, will evaluate to 1.
This has a few applications:
* It allows getting rid of function argument specifications in package
expressions. For instance, a package expression like:
{ stdenv, fetchurl, libfoo }:
stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
can now we written as just
stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
and imported in all-packages.nix as:
bar = scopedImport pkgs ./bar.nix;
So whereas we once had dependencies listed in three places
(buildInputs, the function, and the call site), they now only need
to appear in one place.
* It allows overriding builtin functions. For instance, to trace all
calls to ‘map’:
let
overrides = {
map = f: xs: builtins.trace "map called!" (map f xs);
# Ensure that our override gets propagated by calls to
# import/scopedImport.
import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
# Also update ‘builtins’.
builtins = builtins // overrides;
};
in scopedImport overrides ./bla.nix
* Similarly, it allows extending the set of builtin functions. For
instance, during Nixpkgs/NixOS evaluation, the Nixpkgs library
functions could be added to the default scope.
There is a downside: calls to scopedImport are not memoized, unlike
import. So importing a file multiple times leads to multiple parsings
/ evaluations. It would be possible to construct the AST only once,
but that would require careful handling of variables/environments.

nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:
log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log
then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:
$ nix-store -l $(which xterm)
and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Preload linked hashes to speed up lookups
By preloading all inodes in the /nix/store/.links directory, we can
quickly determine of a hardlinked file was already linked to the hashed
links.
This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.

Shortcut already-hardlinked files
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.
There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.
Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.

nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.
For example, say that you have these 3 generations:
1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>
If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).
This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.
Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

/dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my

3.10-3 reported not having this problem.)
There’s still the problem that people without
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc),
but I don’t see how we could work around it.

Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:
unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed
coming from this line:
printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));
The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.
Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like
printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);
or
throw Error("foo: " + s);

Make /dev/kvm optional
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!). However, it
expects /dev/kvm to be present.
The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems,
and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists.
I’m not sure about the way to handle (2). We could special-case
/dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so
it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely,
if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Date: Tue Mar 18 23:17:14 2014 +0100
Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid path
Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an
invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when
that happens.
More precisely:
1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an
‘Error’ exception;
2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’;
3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after
sending the message.
This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch
below.
The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or
more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to
be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this
one to allow recovery.

Add a variable GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS_PCH for use by precompiled headers
You don't want to use GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS for passing flags like
"-include-pch" (clang), because that means you cannot use
GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS when generating the PCH.

Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application
If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’
temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’
rather than an infinite recursion error.
Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in
c897bac549.
Fixes#217.

Fix deadlock in SubstitutionGoal
We were relying on SubstitutionGoal's destructor releasing the lock,
but if a goal is a top-level goal, the destructor won't run in a
timely manner since its reference count won't drop to zero. So
release it explicitly.
Fixes#178.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Feb 18 01:01:14 2014 +0100
Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)
For example:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
...
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'
The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.
The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.
This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:
* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

Add the nix-store --serve command
This is essentially the substituter API operating on the local store,
which will be used by the ssh substituter. It runs in a loop rather than
just taking one command so that in the future nix will be able to keep
one connection open for multiple instances of the substituter.

Date: Wed Jan 8 15:23:41 2014 +0100
Support cryptographically signed binary caches
NAR info files in binary caches can now have a cryptographic signature
that Nix will verify before using the corresponding NAR file.
To create a private/public key pair for signing and verifying a binary
cache, do:
$ openssl genrsa -out ./cache-key.sec 2048
$ openssl rsa -in ./cache-key.sec -pubout > ./cache-key.pub
You should also come up with a symbolic name for the key, such as
"cache.example.org-1". This will be used by clients to look up the
public key. (It's a good idea to number keys, in case you ever need
to revoke/replace one.)
To create a binary cache signed with the private key:
$ nix-push --dest /path/to/binary-cache --key ./cache-key.sec --key-name cache.example.org-1
The public key (cache-key.pub) should be distributed to the clients.
They should have a nix.conf should contain something like:
signed-binary-caches = *
binary-cache-public-key-cache.example.org-1 = /path/to/cache-key.pub
If all works well, then if Nix fetches something from the signed
binary cache, you will see a message like:
*** Downloading ‘http://cache.example.org/nar/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’ (signed by ‘cache.example.org-1’) to ‘/nix/store/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’...
On the other hand, if the signature is wrong, you get a message like
NAR info file `http://cache.example.org/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j.narinfo' has an invalid signature; ignoring
Signatures are implemented as a single line appended to the NAR info
file, which looks like this:
Signature: 1;cache.example.org-1;HQ9Xzyanq9iV...muQ==
Thus the signature has 3 fields: a version (currently "1"), the ID of
key, and the base64-encoded signature of the SHA-256 hash of the
contents of the NAR info file up to but not including the Signature
line.
Issue #75.

Fold dynamic binds handling into addAttr
Since addAttr has to iterate through the AttrPath we pass it, it makes
more sense to just iterate through the AttrNames in addAttr instead. As
an added bonus, this allows attrsets where two dynamic attribute paths
have the same static leading part (see added test case for an example
that failed previously).

commit 18fefacf7d
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Fri Sep 20 23:25:30 2013 -0400
Dynamic attrs
This adds new syntax for attribute names:
* attrs."${name}" => getAttr name attrs
* attrs ? "${name}" => isAttrs attrs && hasAttr attrs name
* attrs."${name}" or def => if attrs ? "${name}" then attrs."${name}" else def
* { "${name}" = value; } => listToAttrs [{ inherit name value; }]
Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that. The attribute chains
can be arbitrarily long and contain combinations of static and dynamic
parts (e.g. attrs."${foo}".bar."${baz}" or qux), which is relatively
straightforward for the getAttrs/hasAttrs cases but is more complex for
the listToAttrs case due to rules about duplicate attribute definitions.
For attribute sets with dynamic attribute names, duplicate static
attributes are detected at parse time while duplicate dynamic attributes
are detected when the attribute set is forced. So, for example, { a =
null; a.b = null; "${"c"}" = true; } will be a parse-time error, while
{ a = {}; "${"a"}".b = null; c = true; } will be an eval-time error
(technically that case could theoretically be detected at parse time,
but the general case would require full evaluation). Moreover, duplicate
dynamic attributes are not allowed even in cases where they would be
with static attributes ({ a.b.d = true; a.b.c = false; } is legal, but {
a."${"b"}".d = true; a."${"b"}".c = false; } is not). This restriction
might be relaxed in the future in cases where the static variant would
not be an error, but it is not obvious that that is desirable.
Finally, recursive attribute sets with dynamic attributes have the
static attributes in scope but not the dynamic ones. So rec { a = true;
"${"b"}" = a; } is equivalent to { a = true; b = true; } but rec {
"${"a"}" = true; b = a; } would be an error or use a from the
surrounding scope if it exists.
Note that the getAttr, getAttr or default, and hasAttr are all
implemented purely in the parser as syntactic sugar, while attribute
sets with dynamic attribute names required changes to the AST to be
implemented cleanly.
This is an alternative solution to and closes#167

Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Fri Sep 13 16:55:33 2013 -0400
Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the AST
Certain desugaring schemes may require the parser to use some builtin
function to do some of the work (e.g. currently `throw` is used to
lazily cause an error if a `<>`-style path is not in the search path)
Unfortunately, these names are not reserved keywords, so an expression
that uses such a syntactic sugar will not see the expected behavior
(see tests/lang/eval-okay-redefine-builtin.nix for an example).
This adds the ExprBuiltin AST type, which when evaluated uses the value
from the rootmost variable scope (which of course is initialized
internally and can't shadow any of the builtins).

"truncate". If the database is still open at the time in wal mode by the perl
program, this fails and crashes the nix doing the wal -> truncate conversion.

Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix libraries
In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with
Glibc's libutil. Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker
sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but
not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore
because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).

Fix segfault on Darwin
Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly
segfaulted on Darwin:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038
It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow
ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the
other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. It's not exactly clear why the
latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation,
which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. This leads to
a segfault when Perl exits:
#0 0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize ()
#1 0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy ()
#2 0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY ()
#3 0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch ()
...
#14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct ()
#15 0x0000000100000d6a in main ()
...
The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.

Add a typeOf primop
We already have some primops for determining the type of a value, such
as isString, but they're incomplete: for instance, there is no isPath.
Rather than adding more isBla functions, the generic typeOf function
returns a string representing the type of the argument (e.g. "int").

nix-shell: Play nicely with non-interactive shells
nix-shell with the --command flag might be used non-interactively, but
if bash starts non-interactively (i.e. with stdin or stderr not a
terminal), it won't source the script given in --rcfile. However, in
that case it *will* source the script found in $BASH_ENV, so we can use
that instead.
Also, don't source ~/.bashrc in a non-interactive shell (detectable by
checking the PS1 env var)

Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6
Commit 159e621d1a accidentally changed
the behaviour of antiquoted paths, e.g.
"${/foo}/bar"
used to evaluate to "/nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar" (where /foo gets
copied to the store), but in Nix 1.6 it evaluates to "/foo/bar". This
is inconsistent, since
" ${/foo}/bar"
evaluates to " /nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar". So revert to the old
behaviour.

Print a distinct warning for SQLITE_PROTOCOL
commit d05bf04444
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Oct 16 14:03:22 2013 +0200
Treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY
In the Hydra build farm we fairly regularly get SQLITE_PROTOCOL errors
(e.g., "querying path in database: locking protocol"). The docs for
this error code say that it "is returned if some other process is
messing with file locks and has violated the file locking protocol
that SQLite uses on its rollback journal files." However, the SQLite
source code reveals that this error can also occur under high load:
if( cnt>5 ){
int nDelay = 1; /* Pause time in microseconds */
if( cnt>100 ){
VVA_ONLY( pWal->lockError = 1; )
return SQLITE_PROTOCOL;
}
if( cnt>=10 ) nDelay = (cnt-9)*238; /* Max delay 21ms. Total delay 996ms */
sqlite3OsSleep(pWal->pVfs, nDelay);
}
i.e. if certain locks cannot be not acquired, SQLite will retry a
number of times before giving up and returing SQLITE_PROTOCOL. The
comments say:
Circumstances that cause a RETRY should only last for the briefest
instances of time. No I/O or other system calls are done while the
locks are held, so the locks should not be held for very long. But
if we are unlucky, another process that is holding a lock might get
paged out or take a page-fault that is time-consuming to resolve,
during the few nanoseconds that it is holding the lock. In that case,
it might take longer than normal for the lock to free.
...
The total delay time before giving up is less than 1 second.
On a heavily loaded machine like lucifer (the main Hydra server),
which often has dozens of processes waiting for I/O, it seems to me
that a page fault could easily take more than a second to resolve.
So, let's treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY and retry the
transaction.

nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.
The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
[ thunderbird
geeqie
...
]
then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:
$ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir
to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)

Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the

.../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause
problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix
expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid
Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just
the right order).

Simplify inherited attribute handling
This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited
attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets)
by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than
carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member.
As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a
with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes.

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.

Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the
daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode:
$ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m0.974s
user 0m0.875s
sys 0m0.088s
$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m2.118s
user 0m1.463s
sys 0m0.218s
The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved
to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a
hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going
through the daemon is very small:
$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m1.074s
user 0m0.809s
sys 0m0.098s

Avoid thunks when a fromWith var can be looked up without evaluation
Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
commit 20866a7031
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Mon Jul 15 15:53:14 2013 -0400
Delay evaulation of `with` attrs until a variable lookup needs them
Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which
means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some
potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one
set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into
scope for some values in the second set).
The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets
(e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only
options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and
explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one
every time you want to reference another package, or make the set
recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that
comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer
third alternative.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Jul 30 23:25:37 2013 +0200
Detect stack overflows
Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep
or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an
unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that
the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it
prints:
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.
Fixes#35.

killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple
The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that
kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no
way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything
and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't
safely conclude that killUser was successful.
Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines
whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall
directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

Revert "build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally"
This reverts commit 69b8f9980f.
The timeout should be enforced remotely. Otherwise, if the garbage
collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the
build or closure copying for some time. If the garbage collector
takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want.
Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the
remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a
timeout.

Fix a security bug in hash rewriting
Before calling dumpPath(), we have to make sure the files are owned by

This only affects systems that don't have hard link restrictions
enabled.

build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally
Don't pass --timeout / --max-silent-time to the remote builder.
Instead, let the local Nix process terminate the build if it exceeds a
timeout. The remote builder will be killed as a side-effect. This
gives better error reporting (since the timeout message from the
remote side wasn't properly propagated) and handles non-Nix problems
like SSH hangs.

makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permission
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.

Date: Thu Mar 7 19:39:55 2013 -0500
makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out 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.

Date: Tue Feb 26 02:30:19 2013 +0100
Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
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.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Fri Feb 8 19:49:24 2013 +0100
Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path
Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like
exec = "${./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.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Nov 27 15:01:32 2012 +0100
Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes
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.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".

nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluation
commit 8d8d47abd2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Nov 26 17:15:09 2012 +0100
Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation
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.
commit 46a369ad95
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Nov 26 15:39:10 2012 +0100
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.

nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’
commit 9de6bc5d05
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Nov 20 00:27:25 2012 +0100
nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

Disable use of vfork()
vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487
the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even
though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away.
Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable.
If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.

Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.

Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs
With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt,
it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by
rebuilding the derivation. The latter may use hash rewriting if
chroots are not available.

commit 9958bd6992
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Oct 2 14:08:59 2012 -0400
Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.
Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Allow dashes in identifiers
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a
package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't
work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The
convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib"
becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in
variable / attribute names, allowing you to write:
dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { };
and
buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ];
Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this
is unambiguous.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Sep 19 16:17:54 2012 -0400
Remove setting of the immutable bit
Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with
store optimisation. For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a
file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has
additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we
don't know the remaining paths.
So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only
mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit. Unfortunately, we have
to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards
compatibility.
commit b9124a5c33
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Sep 19 15:45:29 2012 -0400
Support having /nix/store as a read-only bind mount
It turns out that the immutable bit doesn't work all that well. A
better way is to make the entire Nix store a read-only bind mount,
i.e. by doing
$ mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store
$ mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store
(This would typically done in an early boot script, before anything
from /nix/store is used.)
Since Nix needs to be able to write to the Nix store, it now detects
if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount and then makes it writable in
a private mount namespace.

the "stat" command). So go back to the simple single-user version.

Put a time-to-live on negative binary cache lookups
Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per
day. However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env
-qas"), negative lookups are ignored after one hour. This is to
ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like
"nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache.
Should probably make this configurable.

Handle gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations both enabled
If the options gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations are both
enabled, you can get a cycle in the liveness graph. There was a hack
to handle this, but it didn't work with multiple-output derivations,
causing the garbage collector to fail with errors like ‘error: cannot
delete path `...' because it is in use by `...'’. The garbage
collector now handles strongly connected components in the liveness
graph as a unit and decides whether to delete all or none of the paths
in an SCC.

Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the
"filter" function in Nixpkgs. As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a
O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more
efficient (i.e. primop) implementation. Using it gives a ~10% speed
increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.

Add some basic profiling support to the evaluator
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some
basic profiling in the evaluator. It will count calls to functions
and primops as well as evaluations of attributes.
For example, to see where evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends
its time:
$ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode
...
calls to 39 primops:
239532 head
233962 tail
191252 hasAttr

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.

Allow a binary cache to declare that it doesn't support "nix-env -qas"
Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially
hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD
requests. So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named
"nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this. It
also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries
to a binary cache for a different store prefix.

Date: Mon Jul 23 13:41:28 2012 -0400
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

Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links
Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links
to all files in the store. However, this means that if we delete a
store path, no files are actually deleted because links in
/nix/store/.links still exists. So we need to check /nix/store/.links
for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.

optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links. For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link
P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>
to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'. This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered. It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

download-from-binary-cache: Use HEAD requests if possible
In "nix-env -qas", we don't need the substitute info, we just need to
know if it exists. This can be done using a HTTP HEAD request, which
saves bandwidth.
Note however that curl currently has a bug that prevents it from
reusing HTTP connections if HEAD requests return a 404:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3542731&group_id=976&atid=100976
Without the patch attached to the issue, using HEAD is actually quite
a bit slower than GET.

Add a function queryValidPaths()
queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one.
This matters when using the Nix daemon because it reduces latency.
For instance, on "nix-env -qas \*" it reduces execution time from 5.7s
to 4.7s (which is indistinguishable from the non-daemon case).

download-from-binary-cache: parallelise fetching of NAR info files
Getting substitute information using the binary cache substituter has
non-trivial latency overhead. A package or NixOS system configuration
can have hundreds of dependencies, and in the worst case (when the
local info cache is empty) we have to do a separate HTTP request for
each of these. If the ping time to the server is t, getting N info
files will take tN seconds; e.g., with a ping time of 0.1s to
nixos.org, sequentially downloading 1000 info files (a typical NixOS
config) will take at least 100 seconds.
To fix this problem, the binary cache substituter can now perform
requests in parallel. This required changing the substituter
interface to support a function querySubstitutablePathInfos() that
queries multiple paths at the same time, and rewriting queryMissing()
to take advantage of parallelism. (Due to local caching,
parallelising queryMissing() is sufficient for most use cases, since
it's almost always called before building a derivation and thus fills
the local info cache.)
For example, parallelism speeds up querying all 1056 paths in a
particular NixOS system configuration from 116s to 2.6s. It works so
well because the eccentricity of the top-level derivation in the
dependency graph is only 9. So we only need 10 round-trips (when
using an unlimited number of parallel connections) to get everything.
Currently we do a maximum of 150 parallel connections to the server.
Thus it's important that the binary cache server (e.g. nixos.org) has
a high connection limit. Alternatively we could use HTTP pipelining,
but WWW::Curl doesn't support it and libcurl has a hard-coded limit of
5 requests per pipeline.

download-from-binary-cache: use WWW::Curl
Using WWW::Curl rather than running an external curl process for every
NAR info file halves the time it takes to get info thanks to libcurl's
support for persistent HTTP connections. (We save a roundtrip per
file.) But the real gain will come from using parallel and/or
pipelined requests.

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.

nix-push: create a manifest-less binary cache
Manifests are a huge pain, since users need to run nix-pull directly
or indirectly to obtain them. They tend to be large and lag behind
the available binaries; also, the downloaded manifests in
/nix/var/nix/manifest need to be in sync with the Nixpkgs sources. So
we want to get rid of them.
The idea of manifest-free operation works as follows. Nix is
configured with a set of URIs of binary caches, e.g.
http://nixos.org/binary-cache
Whenever Nix needs a store path X, it checks each binary cache for the
existence of a file <CACHE-URI>/<SHA-256 hash of X>.narinfo, e.g.
http://nixos.org/binary-cache/bi1gh9...ia17.narinfo
The .narinfo file contains the necessary information about the store
path that was formerly kept in the manifest, i.e., (relative) URI of
the compressed NAR, references, size, hash, etc. For example:
StorePath: /nix/store/xqp4l88cr9bxv01jinkz861mnc9p7qfi-neon-0.29.6
URL: 1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd.nar.bz2
CompressedHash: sha256:1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd
CompressedSize: 202542
NarHash: sha256:1af26536781e6134ab84201b33408759fc59b36cc5530f57c0663f67b588e15f
NarSize: 700440
References: 043zrsanirjh8nbc5vqpjn93hhrf107f-bash-4.2-p24 cj7a81wsm1ijwwpkks3725661h3263p5-glibc-2.13 ...
Deriver: 4idz1bgi58h3pazxr3akrw4fsr6zrf3r-neon-0.29.6.drv
System: x86_64-linux
Nix then knows that it needs to download
http://nixos.org/binary-cache/1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd.nar.bz2
to substitute the store path.
Note that the store directory is omitted from the References and
Deriver fields to save space, and that the URL can be relative to the
binary cache prefix.
This patch just makes nix-push create binary caches in this format.
The next step is to make a substituter that supports them.

When using chroots, use a private PID namespace
In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from
the rest of the system. The initial child gets PID 1. Processes in
the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot. This improves
isolation between builds. However, processes on the outside can see
processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have
appropriate rights).
Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in
the chroot. This might turn out to be a problem. In that case we'll
need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().

P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in
a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since
having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.

In chroot builds, use a private network namespace
On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace,
meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from
the rest of the system. We use this to completely remove network
access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback
interface. This means that:
- Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes
on the same machine, except processes within the same build.
- Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot
build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat".
- If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as
part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other.
This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.

Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket

use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one
ourselves.

reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection. This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.

Fix owner/group in tar invocation

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue May 22 18:36:54 2012 -0400
Generate binary tarballs for installing Nix
For several platforms we don't currently have "native" Nix packages
(e.g. Mac OS X and FreeBSD). This provides the next best thing: a
tarball containing the closure of Nix, plus a simple script
"nix-finish-install" that initialises the Nix database, registers the
paths in the closure as valid, and runs "nix-env -i /path/to/nix" to
initialise the user profile.
The tarball must be unpacked in the root directory. It creates
/nix/store/... and /usr/bin/nix-finish-install. Typical installation
is as follows:
$ cd /
$ tar xvf /path/to/nix-1.1pre1234_abcdef-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2
$ nix-finish-install
(if necessary add ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh to the shell
login scripts)
After this, /usr/bin/nix-finish-install can be deleted, if desired.
The downside to the binary tarball is that it's pretty big (~55 MiB
for x86_64-linux).

Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's

machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing
derivations.

Handle EPERM when creating a hard link for the chroot
There is a race condition when doing parallel builds with chroots and
the immutable bit enabled. One process may call makeImmutable()
before the other has called link(), in which case link() will fail
with EPERM. We could retry or wrap the operation in a lock, but since
this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy
fallback.
Fixes#9.

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).

Date: Tue Mar 27 11:40:47 2012 +0200
Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"
Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all
dependencies to be built. For instance, if we want to do "--run-env"
on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build
environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built. So
we can do:
$ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball'
This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball"
regular expression. The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number
of times.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Mar 26 20:43:33 2012 +0200
Make the garbage collector more concurrent
Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths
outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock. This
should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked,
since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in
the GC.
To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and
renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock. This
ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly)
valid or locked path.

Date: Mon Mar 19 04:14:21 2012 +0100
Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation
This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given
derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from
the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise
the environment further.
The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way
to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree.
Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the
derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of
$PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup.
Example session:
$ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm
(the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...)
$ tar xf $src
$ ./configure
$ make
$ emacs
(... hack source ...)
$ make
$ ./xterm

Replace "make check" with "make installcheck"
Ensuring that the tests work from the build tree requires a growing
number of nasty hacks. The tests also don't verify that the installed

have been run.

Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is
detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so
depending on SQLite is not a big problem.
The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.

Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory
By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when
download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit. This prevents
them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Feb 18 01:23:52 2012 +0100
Fix chroots builds
Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to
the chroot. This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set,
because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files. So
temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the
chroot.
Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very
reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we
run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’. So
maybe we should only make directories immutable.
commit bd013b6f98
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 15 01:31:56 2012 +0100
On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by
creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this
by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr
+i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error
if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage
collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in
optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an
immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable
bit before creating the link.

* Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a
rather unhelpful error message:
Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm
This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes
various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter
expects.
commit 4e624849b6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jan 17 23:07:22 2012 +0000
* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced
by the shell, e.g.
$ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))"
$ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp
$ source $stdenv/setup
This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build
a package outside of its builder for development purposes.
TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the
dependencies of the derivation as well.

readDirectory() but read the Nix store and delete invalid paths in
parallel. This reduces GC latency on very large Nix stores.

commit 194d21f9f6
Merge: 3c3107d273b288
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 16 23:33:01 2011 +0000

commit 273b288a7e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 16 22:31:25 2011 +0000
* importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input
stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire
sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 16 21:29:46 2011 +0000

commit e0bd307802
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 16 19:44:13 2011 +0000
* Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficient
(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger
chunks.
* Some refactoring.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 16 15:45:42 2011 +0000

commit 5a1b9ed0aa
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 15 16:19:53 2011 +0000
* Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.
* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it
prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash
went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my
/var/run/current-system).

commit a3e0656cbb
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 15 12:32:08 2011 +0000
* Buffer reads in FdSource. Together with write buffering, this
significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store
-qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number
of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from
44266 to 20666).
commit 3a48282b06
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Dec 14 23:30:06 2011 +0000
* Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number of
system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker
protocol.

Date: Thu Dec 1 13:48:48 2011 +0000
* When doing "nix-store --add-fixed" without "--recursive" via the Nix
daemon (which is an error), print a nicer error message than
"Connection reset by peer" or "broken pipe".
* In the daemon, log errors that occur during request parameter
processing.

commit 5bbd693cae
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Nov 23 15:13:37 2011 +0000
* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it
uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure
and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many
dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)

commit 993fa94fb4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Nov 22 17:28:41 2011 +0000
* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to
libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital
that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise
nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the
value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Nov 16 16:41:48 2011 +0000
* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of
paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding
up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).

commit c172d16b00
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Wed Sep 14 05:59:17 2011 +0000
First attempt at the output-as-derivation semantics
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is
the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific
to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all
of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as
each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs)
as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the
outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).

$ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system)
path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa'
All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been
modified, 0 otherwise.

Date: Wed Aug 31 21:11:50 2011 +0000
* Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.
This should also fix:
nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Aug 6 19:45:43 2011 +0000
* Cache the result of file evaluation (i.e, memoize evalFile()). This
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple
times. For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS
causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times.
Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint
reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with
GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).

commit 1ecc97b6bd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Aug 6 16:05:24 2011 +0000
* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.
import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>
are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like
import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"
The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
e.g.,
$ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...
If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
lazily thrown.

* Don't allow derivations with fixed and non-fixed outputs.
commit b2027f70d9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 20 18:10:47 2011 +0000
* Fix a huuuuge security hole in the Nix daemon. It didn't check that
derivations added to the store by clients have "correct" output
paths (meaning that the output paths are computed by hashing the
derivation according to a certain algorithm). This means that a
malicious user could craft a special .drv file to build *any*
desired path in the store with any desired contents (so long as the
path doesn't already exist). Then the attacker just needs to wait
for a victim to come along and install the compromised path.
For instance, if Alice (the attacker) knows that the latest Firefox
derivation in Nixpkgs produces the path
/nix/store/1a5nyfd4ajxbyy97r1fslhgrv70gj8a7-firefox-5.0.1
then (provided this path doesn't already exist) she can craft a .drv
file that creates that path (i.e., has it as one of its outputs),
add it to the store using "nix-store --add", and build it with
"nix-store -r". So the fake .drv could write a Trojan to the
Firefox path. Then, if user Bob (the victim) comes along and does
$ nix-env -i firefox
$ firefox
he executes the Trojan injected by Alice.
The fix is to have the Nix daemon verify that derivation outputs are
correct (in addValidPath()). This required some refactoring to move
the hash computation code to libstore.

Date: Wed Jul 20 11:47:00 2011 +0000
* Create a symlink to /nix/var/nix/manifests in /nix/var/nix/gcroots
if it doesn't exist.
commit d329c3ea9d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 18 23:31:03 2011 +0000
* Support multiple outputs. A derivation can declare multiple outputs
by setting the ‘outputs’ attribute. For example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "aterm-2.5";
src = ...;
outputs = [ "out" "tools" "dev" ];
configureFlags = "--bindir=$(tools)/bin --includedir=$(dev)/include";
}
This derivation creates three outputs, named like this:
/nix/store/gcnqgllbh01p3d448q8q6pzn2nc2gpyl-aterm-2.5
/nix/store/gjf1sgirwfnrlr0bdxyrwzpw2r304j02-aterm-2.5-tools
/nix/store/hp6108bqfgxvza25nnxfs7kj88xi2vdx-aterm-2.5-dev
That is, the symbolic name of the output is suffixed to the store
path (except for the ‘out’ output). Each path is passed to the
builder through the corresponding environment variable, e.g.,
${tools}.
The main reason for multiple outputs is to allow parts of a package
to be distributed and garbage-collected separately. For instance,
most packages depend on Glibc for its libraries, but don't need its
header files. If these are separated into different store paths,
then a package that depends on the Glibc libraries only causes the
libraries and not the headers to be downloaded.
The main problem with multiple outputs is that if one output exists
while the others have been garbage-collected (or never downloaded in
the first place), and we want to rebuild the other outputs, then
this isn't possible because we can't clobber a valid output (it
might be in active use). This currently gives an error message
like:
error: derivation `/nix/store/1s9zw4c8qydpjyrayxamx2z7zzp5pcgh-aterm-2.5.drv' is blocked by its output paths
There are two solutions: 1) Do the build in a chroot. Then we don't
need to overwrite the existing path. 2) Use hash rewriting (see the
ASE-2005 paper). Scary but it should work.
This is not finished yet. There is not yet an easy way to refer to
non-default outputs in Nix expressions. Also, mutually recursive
outputs aren't detected yet and cause the garbage collector to
crash.

* Fix concurrency issues in download-using-manifests' handling of the

integrity (the cache can always be recreated if it gets corrupted).

For instance, an expression like
stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args
can now be written as
args.features.ckSched or false

commit 5637037802
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 6 10:58:17 2011 +0000
* In the ‘?’ operator, allow attribute paths. For instance, you can
write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
containing an attribute ‘b’. This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
a && attrs.a ? b’.
Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set. In that case it just
returns false. So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.

do the check much later. Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.

commit 5591fcc529
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Apr 10 23:22:46 2011 +0000
* Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests
substituter, especially if manifests are very large. For instance,
one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using
binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s. It also significantly
reduces memory use.
The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite. It's
updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from
/nix/var/nix/manifests. It might be interesting to have nix-pull
store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as
separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface
to delete manifests from the DB.

long time to finish. Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
while doing this.
commit de79d23f76
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Dec 5 18:23:19 2010 +0000
* Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
returned to resolve deadlocks. This should get rid of random
"database is locked" errors. This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
commit might not succeed.

Date: Wed Nov 17 17:41:59 2010 +0000
* When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, use
`nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than
`nix-hash'. However, only do this for estimating the size of a
download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the
contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of
course).

Date: Sun Oct 24 14:20:02 2010 +0000
* Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This

commit 0b305c534f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Oct 24 00:41:29 2010 +0000
* Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so
that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
doesn't have a big impact on performance.)
Memory consumption for
$ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode
on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
MiB on the trunk).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Oct 22 14:47:42 2010 +0000
* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves
the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.

Date: Mon Oct 4 22:26:38 2010 +0000

commit 705868a8a9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 4 17:55:38 2010 +0000
* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on
OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then
the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct
stat", or vice versa.
This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.
* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
of the loop before.

`nix-store --verify' improvements:
* If a path has disappeared, check its referrers first, and don't try

path, which is slower.

* Don't link against pthreads. This was added way back in r211
because Berkeley DB needed it on some platforms, but we don't use
BDB anymore.
On FreeBSD, if you link against pthreads, then the main thread gets
a 2 MB stack which cannot be overriden (it ignores "ulimit -s"):
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org/msg62445.html
This is not enough for Nix. For instance, the garbage collector can
fail if there is a pathologically deep chain of references
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/556199). 2 MB is also not enough for
many Nix expressions.
Arguably the garbage collector shouldn't use recursion, because in
NixOS unprivileged users can DOS the garbage collector by creating a
sufficiently deeply nested chain of references. But getting rid of
recursion is a bit harder.

Date: Wed Aug 4 17:35:59 2010 +0000
* Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
commit. Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
-A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:
42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
every 1000 pages
8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
every 8192 pages
1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync
The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs. Because WAL doesn't
work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
option to false.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 4 12:13:58 2010 +0000
* Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
"preferLocalBuild" to true. This has a few use cases:
- The user environment builder. Since it just creates a bunch of
symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
remotely. In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
is extremely wasteful.
- `fetchurl'. Performing the download on a remote machine and then
copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
CPU cycles on the local machine.

* Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (for

tests/build-hook.hook.sh: prefer more portable `...` syntax over $(...) for running sub-shells
The /bin/sh interpreter on Solaris doesn't understand $(...) syntax for running
sub-shells. Consequently, this test fails on Solaris. To remedy the situation,
the script either needs to be run by /bin/bash -- which is non-standard --, or
it needs to use the ancient but portable `...` syntax.

namespace.

commit 8b7f8b56f1
Author: Peter Simons <simons@cryp.to>
Date: Wed Jun 23 14:34:08 2010 +0000
Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.
The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.

Evaluation of the NixOS system attribute is now almost 7 times
faster than the old evaluator.

commit 85d13c8f93
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Apr 14 08:37:08 2010 +0000
* Change the semantics of "with" so that inner "withs" take
precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural. There
doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
old behaviour.
commit 816f9c0f6f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Apr 13 14:34:11 2010 +0000
* Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbol

* Evaluate lets directly (i.e. without desugaring to `rec { attrs...;
<let-body> = e; }.<let-body>). This prevents the unnecessary
allocation of an attribute set.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Apr 13 12:25:42 2010 +0000
* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names

of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently
using a pointer equality test.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Apr 1 09:55:57 2010 +0000
* Make `derivation' lazy again for performance. It also turns out
that there are some places in Nixpkgs (php_configurable /
composableDerivation, it seems) that call `derivation' with
incorrect arguments (namely, the `name' attribute missing) but get
away with it because of laziness.
commit dc31305b38
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 31 20:09:20 2010 +0000
* Fixed the trace primop and path comparison.

This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
slightly.

Date: Tue Mar 2 20:09:12 2010 +0000

Date: Thu Feb 18 13:48:18 2010 +0000
* Add the deriver to the ValidPaths table. In principle we could now
store all the derivers of a path efficiently. But that opens a big
can of worms with respect to garbage collector semantics.
commit dbddac0fe9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 18 13:40:46 2010 +0000
* Assign an integer id to every row in the ValidPaths table in order
to make the Refs table more space-efficient. For instance, this
reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18
MiB. (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1
KiB block size.)

commit 4e17be7981
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 21:38:41 2010 +0000
* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
command is already monitoring the real build.
commit f859a8d3c3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 21:22:57 2010 +0000
* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the
`max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a
long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the
Hydra build farm.

Date: Wed Feb 3 20:35:37 2010 +0000
* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the other
machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build
farm more robust to failures.
commit f56a039775
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 20:12:18 2010 +0000

fixed in Visual Studio.
commit bc1e478db1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 15:34:52 2010 +0000

commit e839802720
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 2 15:29:18 2010 +0000
* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't
support deleting the current directory.
commit 4bbbe25802
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 2 15:28:36 2010 +0000
* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisory
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics
sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin
1.5 anymore.
commit 2723d9b56e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 2 11:57:49 2010 +0000

commit 07ffdc2862
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 29 12:22:58 2010 +0000
* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
same thing as writeFile.
commit ad529fb89f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 29 11:53:58 2010 +0000
* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes
(especially on ext4).
commit fdcaf37361
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 17:18:44 2010 +0000
* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n +
m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the
closure).
commit 50e34891f0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 16:14:45 2010 +0000
* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because
it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case,
compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
commit 5388944e8d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 16:04:32 2010 +0000
* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
commit f0c0277970
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jan 12 12:22:38 2010 +0000
* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is
set to "ignore".
commit ef92a14bfe
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 17 14:12:44 2009 +0000
* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

Date: Wed Dec 16 15:29:50 2009 +0000

Date: Wed Dec 9 19:36:54 2009 +0000

* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.:

commit c364d5d1e3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 23 16:34:24 2009 +0000
* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in
the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths
almost immediately.

Date: Fri Nov 20 17:12:38 2009 +0000
* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

commit 0dbd4638e0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Sep 15 13:01:46 2009 +0000
* Two primops: builtins.intersectAttrs and builtins.functionArgs.
intersectAttrs returns the (right-biased) intersection between two
attribute sets, e.g. every attribute from the second set that also
exists in the first. functionArgs returns the set of attributes
expected by a function.
The main goal of these is to allow the elimination of most of
all-packages.nix. Most package instantiations in all-packages.nix
have this form:
foo = import ./foo.nix {
inherit a b c;
};
With intersectAttrs and functionArgs, this can be written as:
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { };
where
callPackage = f: args:
f ((builtins.intersectAttrs (builtins.functionArgs f) pkgs) // args);
I.e., foo.nix is called with all attributes from "pkgs" that it
actually needs (e.g., pkgs.a, pkgs.b and pkgs.c). (callPackage can
do any other generic package-level stuff we might want, such as
applying makeOverridable.) Of course, the automatically supplied
arguments can be overriden if needed, e.g.
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) {
c = c_version_2;
};
but for the vast majority of packages, this won't be needed.
The advantages are to reduce the amount of typing needed to add a
dependency (from three sites to two), and to reduce the number of
trivial commits to all-packages.nix. For the former, there have
been two previous attempts:
- Use "args: with args;" in the package's function definition.
This however obscures the actual expected arguments of a
function, which is very bad.
- Use "{ arg1, arg2, ... }:" in the package's function definition
(i.e. use the ellipis "..." to allow arbitrary additional
arguments), and then call the function with all of "pkgs" as an
argument. But this inhibits error detection if you call it with
an misspelled (or obsolete) argument.

commit 14bc3ce3d6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Jun 13 16:30:58 2009 +0000
* Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some
programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template
Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008
fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
patched because it's closed source.
This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
warnings.

commit a64bbe049e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri May 15 13:46:13 2009 +0000
* Change the scoping of "inherit (e) ..." in recs so that the
attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'. This is useful in
expressions such as
rec {
lib = import ./lib;
inherit (lib) concatStrings;
}
It does change the semantics of expressions such as
let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y
This now returns 2 instead of 1. However, no code in Nixpkgs or
NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.
commit d407d572fd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri May 15 12:35:23 2009 +0000
* Some syntactic sugar for attribute sets: allow {x.y.z = ...;} as a
shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}. This is especially useful
for NixOS configuration files, e.g.
{
services = {
sshd = {
enable = true;
port = 2022;
};
};
}
can now be written as
{
services.sshd.enable = true;
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
However, it is currently not permitted to write
{
services.sshd = {enable = true;};
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'.

* Allow unsafe (unspecified) comparisons between attrsets unless

commit c34e6d71bc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon May 11 15:50:14 2009 +0000
* Disallow equality tests between attribute sets. This was always
broken, but now the evaluator checks for it to prevent Nix
expressions from relying on undefined behaviour. Equality tests are
implemented using a shallow pointer equality test between ATerms.
However, because attribute sets are lazy and contain position
information, this can give false positives. For instance,
previously
let y = {x = 1;}; in y == y
evaluated to true, while the equivalent expression
{x = 1;} == {x = 1;}
evaluated to false. So disallow these tests for now. (Eventually
we may want to implement deep equality tests for attribute sets,
like lib.eqStrict.)
* Idem: disallow comparisons between functions.
* Implemented deep comparisons of lists. This had the same problem as
attribute sets - the elements in the list weren't evaluated. For
instance,
["xy"] == [("x" + "y")]
evaluated to false. Now it works properly.

commit 7377195297
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 29 18:06:00 2009 +0000
* With `--max-jobs 0', print a nicer error message than "Assertion
`!awake.empty()' failed."
commit 737423a89c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 29 18:00:45 2009 +0000
* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it
accepts the build).
* build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than
the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first*
machine of the appropriate type.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Mar 28 21:10:29 2009 +0000
* nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,
which is much faster.

Date: Sat Mar 28 16:12:27 2009 +0000
* The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a build
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 26 14:12:42 2009 +0000
* A job for creating a fully statically linked binary tarball.
commit 9856efc7b0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 26 12:22:08 2009 +0000
* Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binaries
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no
RPMs/Debs available.
commit 5dd8fb2069
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 26 11:02:07 2009 +0000
* Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is
too large for "long" type').
commit 92f525ecf4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 25 21:05:42 2009 +0000
* Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by
default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
commit 7024a1ef07
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 25 16:43:38 2009 +0000
* Removed the locking.sh test; it's redundant because of the extended
parallel.sh test. Also, don't call multiple nix-builds in parallel,
since they can race creating .nix-build-tmp-derivation.
commit 8146a0c731
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 25 16:11:04 2009 +0000

though.
commit 3a87163b24
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 23 13:52:52 2009 +0000
* Shut up a GCC warning.
commit cacff1be88
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 23 01:05:54 2009 +0000
* No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. Instead
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main
select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again).
This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both
trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't
block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it
prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately,
where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's
waiting for a lock held by the first.
The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't
provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only
solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking
fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require
pthreads.
commit 58969fa2bf
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 22 23:53:05 2009 +0000
* Refactoring.
commit d7b2d11255
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 22 23:16:18 2009 +0000
* Test case (currently fails): multiple Nix builds shouldn't block
waiting on the same lock when there are other builds that can be
done.
commit 7a57b2920b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 22 17:51:45 2009 +0000
* Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbage
(previously it would likely say "implementation cannot deal with >
32-bit integers").
commit 77d272623f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 22 17:36:43 2009 +0000
* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
isn't a NAR archive.
commit 7e05b8b75e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 19 10:02:02 2009 +0000
* Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
commit b88460bcbc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 19 09:47:34 2009 +0000
* Disregard the Hash field in manifests.
commit 2897286487
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 18 17:36:42 2009 +0000
* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That
is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by
adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
commit e530e0a350

commit c183ee5c79
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 18 14:48:42 2009 +0000
* Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the build
hook. This fixes a problem with log files being partially or
completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process
truncates the log file. It should also be more efficient.
commit 1dcf208f56
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 18 13:15:55 2009 +0000
* Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 26 21:12:35 2009 +0000
* Handle base-16 hashes in manifests.
commit 041717eda3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 19 23:46:37 2009 +0000
* download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
path.
When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the
*uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use
that instead for checking the integrity of the download.

Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution
commit 824b154ce8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 16 09:24:20 2009 +0000
* Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs. Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes. With
--keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
Nixpkgs). Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
build it again until the lock is released.
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
manner for failed top-level derivation goals. So if there were more
than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
having run out of build users.

Date: Mon Feb 2 17:24:10 2009 +0000
* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly
into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.

commit ac5478eb52
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 11 18:57:10 2008 +0000
* Don't provide the whole Nix store in the chroot, but only the
closure of the inputs. This really enforces that there can't be any
undeclared dependencies on paths in the store. This is done by
creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in
the fake store for all paths in the closure. After the build, the
build output is moved from the fake store to the real store. TODO:
the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for
this to work, but this isn't enforced yet. (I.e. it only works
currently if /tmp is on the same FS as /nix/store.)

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 11 17:00:12 2008 +0000
* Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
children. So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
anymore. Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
automatically when the builder exits.

a better solution later...

commit 909fbb9de1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 4 14:29:41 2008 +0000
* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is
the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
the maximum load on a machine.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 4 13:13:31 2008 +0000
* Don't ignore errors from writing to stderr. That way, when
nix-store -r (or some other operation) is started via ssh, it will
at least have a chance of terminating quickly when the connection is
killed. Right now it just runs to completion, because it never
notices that stderr is no longer connected to anything. Of course
it would be better if sshd would just send a SIGHUP, but it doesn't
(https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396).
commit 9fd9c4c635
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 4 12:20:06 2008 +0000

list like
root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has
remote builds enabled.

Date: Thu Dec 4 10:40:41 2008 +0000
* Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of
the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all
its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even
succeed.

but it didn't do that anyway.
commit 64519cfd65
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Dec 3 15:06:30 2008 +0000
* Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce
the same store path:
$ nix-store --add x
/nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x
$ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
/nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x
the latter being the same as the path that a derivation
derivation {
name = "x";
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
outputHash = "...";
...
};
produces.
This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn
calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is
Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

Date: Wed Nov 19 23:26:19 2008 +0000
* Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same
result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes
/nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string.
Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now
finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously
the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't
be copied to the remote machine.)

* Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents
subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes

Bison, which uses M4).

Date: Wed Sep 17 14:52:35 2008 +0000
* GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last
accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently
used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t,
e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to
convert to time_t from the command line.
Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two
months:
$ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")

commit 7ab68961e4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 17 10:02:55 2008 +0000
* Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time. This is useful in conjunction
with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
may become live again.
The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
priority queue in collectGarbage().

Date: Tue Sep 2 09:21:38 2008 +0000
* When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string
attributes from the meta attribute. Not doing so caused nix-env to
barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute,
the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be
produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory.
Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings.
meta.function should be passthru.function.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 25 15:49:22 2008 +0000
* Disable chroot builds for fixed-output derivations so that we don't
need /etc in the chroot (in particular, /etc/resolv.conf for
fetchurl). Not having /etc/resolv.conf in the chroot is a good
thing, since we don't want normal derivations to download files.

Fixing an obvious typo in override code. I do not know whether it works correctly after the change, but at least it ca nbe compiled now.
commit ca07f3e370
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 14 16:59:37 2008 +0000
* Another experimental feature: a way to truly override attributes in
a rec. This will be very useful to allow end-user customisation of
all-packages.nix, for instance globally overriding GCC or some other
dependency. The // operator doesn't cut it: you could replace the
"gcc" attribute, but all other attributes would continue to
reference the original value due to the substitution semantics of
rec.
The syntax is a bit hacky but this is to allow backwards
compatibility.
commit 9279174dde
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 14 14:00:44 2008 +0000
* Added an experimental feature suggested by Andres: ellipses ("...")
in attribute set pattern matches. This allows defining a function
that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring
additional attributes. For instance,
{stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
};
defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the
specified attributes but ignores others. The main advantage is that
we can then write in all-packages.nix
aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs;
instead of
aefs = import ../bla/aefs {
inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse;
};
This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update
all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes). It saves as much
typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that
the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what
the body of the "with" uses).

* Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set and
functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST
node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the
arguments. Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and
matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat).
This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily,
such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.

Updates to nix-reduce-build
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies).
Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters.
Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.

commit 339c142009
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 4 16:21:45 2008 +0000
* Use optimistic profile locking for nix-env operations like `-i' and
`-u'. Instead of acquiring an exclusive lock on the profile for the
entire duration of the operation, we just perform the operation
optimistically (without an exclusive lock), and check at the end
whether the profile changed while we were busy (i.e., the symlink
target changed). If so, the operation is restarted. Restarting is
generally cheap, since the build results are still in the Nix store.
Most of the time, only the user environment has to be rebuilt.

commit 3c92ea399d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Aug 2 12:54:35 2008 +0000
* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
stdin/stdout.

commit 8bc591a6f0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jul 18 13:05:10 2008 +0000
* Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good
name...) is set.
* Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES. E.g. you could
set it to /mnts/*/nix or something.
* Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
commit 15f39aba8c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Jul 12 18:58:24 2008 +0000
* Quick prototype of a substituter that copies paths from other Nix
stores (typically remote Nix stores mounted via e.g. NFS, or the Nix
store on the NixOS installation CD). Example use:
$ sshfs foo@example.org:/ /mnt
$ NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix \
NIX_SUBSTITUTERS=.../copy-from-other-stores.pl \
nix-env -i foo
This will be especially useful for the installation CD since it
doesn't require a manifest for the CD contents.

Date: Fri Jul 11 13:29:04 2008 +0000

Date: Tue Jul 1 10:10:32 2008 +0000
* Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison
logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops.
This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency
is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See
tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples.

directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important
for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories
limit).

* checkVarDefs: don't check in closed terms, which don't have
undefined variables by definition. This matters for the
implementation of "with", which does a call to checkVarDefs to see
if the body of the with has no undefined variables. (It can't be
checked at parse time because you don't know which variables are in
the "with" attribute set.) If we check closed terms, then we check
not just the with body but also the substituted terms, which are
typically very large. This is the cause of the poor nix-env
performance on Nixpkgs lately. It didn't happen earlier because
"with" wasn't used very often in the past.
This fix improves nix-env performance roughly 60x on current Nixpkgs.
nix-env -qa is down from 29.3s to 0.5s on my laptop, and nix-env -qa
--out-path is down from 229s to 3.39s. Not bad for a 1-line fix :-)

commit 6d6c68c0d2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Nov 30 16:48:45 2007 +0000
* Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two
single quotes. Example (from NixOS):
job = ''
start on network-interfaces
start script
rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver
${if videoDriver == "nvidia"
then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver"
else if cfg.driSupport
then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver"
else ""
}
rm -f /var/log/slim.log
end script
'';
This style has two big advantages:
- \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less
escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS.
The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as
""). ${ is also fairly rare.
Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also
considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks
(thanks Martin).
- Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings
can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix
expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from
the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in
generated files (which sometimes even breaks things).
See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
commit 633518628f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Nov 29 16:18:24 2007 +0000
* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)
or
$ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132
* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store. This allows
things like
$ nix-build -A firefox
$ nix-env -i ./result
* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
anything. In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
empty profile.

commit 9397cd30c8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Oct 27 00:46:59 2007 +0000
* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is
executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary
build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories
(/dev and /proc by default). This allows a bit more purity
enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as
/usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible. As an added
benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented
as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in
the chroot).
However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that
many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of
additional directories. (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as
well...)

* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by
something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script
did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
garbage collection and concurrent builds).

* nix-env -qa: make the "-A" flag do the expected thing, namely follow
the given attribute path (just as -A does with other option)
(NIX-83). So you can now say
$ nix-env -qa -A nixpkgs_unstable.gnome \*
atk-1.12.4
esound-0.2.36
...
to see the packages in the "gnome" attribute in Nixpkgs.
To *print* the attribute path, you should now use "--attr-path" /
"-P" (running out of letters...).
commit 055608227f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Sep 17 16:08:24 2007 +0000
* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the
Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set
{file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix
expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute
name. Also recurses into directories.
* nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the
~/.nix-defexpr symlink.
* nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink
~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't
override any default Nix expressions but combines with them.
This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use
it as a default for nix-env:
$ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn
and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time.
(If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to
disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)

commit 0d65fc08e2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 30 09:50:44 2007 +0000
* Create the Nix daemon socket in a separate directory
(/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket). This allows access to the Nix daemon
to be restricted by setting the mode/ownership on that directory as
desired, e.g.
$ chmod 770 /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
$ chown root.wheel /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
to allow only users in the wheel group to use Nix.
Setting the ownership on a socket is much trickier, since the socket
must be deleted and recreated every time the daemon is started
(which would require additional Nix configuration file directives to
specify the mode/ownership, and wouldn't support arbitrary ACLs),
some BSD variants appear to ignore permissions on sockets, and it's
not clear whether the umask is respected on every platform when
creating sockets.

commit c970b28ba0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Aug 28 11:36:17 2007 +0000
* Fix a race condition with parallel builds where multiple
fixed-output derivations or substitutions try to build the same
store path at the same time. Locking generally catches this, but
not between multiple goals in the same process. This happened
especially often (actually, only) in the build farm with fetchurl
downloads of the same file being executed on multiple machines and
then copied back to the main machine where they would clobber each
other (NIXBF-13).
Solution: if a goal notices that the output path is already locked,
then go to sleep until another goal finishes (hopefully the one
locking the path) and try again.

commit 9e975458b4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 12 00:29:28 2007 +0000
* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
(such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that
it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
(NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
each other.
The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas"
takes a bit longer.
Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).
* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

commit bddc83a148
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed May 16 16:17:04 2007 +0000
* New builtin function "isFunction". You're not supposed to use it
;-)
* Channels: fix channels that are plain lists of derivations (like
strategoxt-unstable) instead of functions (like nixpkgs-unstable).
This fixes the error message "error: the left-hand side of the
function call is neither a function nor a primop (built-in
operation) but a list".

commit 93aefd9fc0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 1 23:16:38 2007 +0000
* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The
top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
{nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes
attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
commit a9d15d4f43
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 1 20:33:18 2007 +0000
* nix-env -i: instead of breaking package ties by version, break them
by priority and version install. That is, if there are multiple
packages with the same name, then pick the package with the highest
priority, and only use the version if there are multiple packages
with the same priority.
This makes it possible to mark specific versions/variant in Nixpkgs
more or less desirable than others. A typical example would be a
beta version of some package (e.g., "gcc-4.2.0rc1") which should not
be installed even though it is the highest version, except when it
is explicitly selected (e.g., "nix-env -i gcc-4.2.0rc1").
* Idem for nix-env -u, only the semantics are a bit trickier since we
also need to take into account the priority of the currently
installed package (we never upgrade to a lower priority, unless
--always is given).

commit 89c1d2b202
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 23:48:14 2007 +0000
* Package flag "keep" that prevents a package from being removed from
a user environment by an install or upgrade action. This is
particularly useful if you have a version installed that you don't
want to upgrade (e.g., because the newer versions are broken).
Example:
$ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run
(dry run; not doing anything)
upgrading `zapping-0.9.6' to `zapping-0.10cvs6'
$ nix-env --set-flag keep true zapping
$ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run
(dry run; not doing anything)
However, "-e" will still uninstall the package. (Maybe we should
require the keep flag to be explicitly set to false before it can be
uninstalled.)
commit a46db5d013
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 23:28:44 2007 +0000
* Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a
user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping
file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the
symlinks of a package with a lower priority. E.g.,
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils
gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower
priority).
commit 3d05166086
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 22:40:59 2007 +0000
* Allow conflicting packages to be kept in a user environment, and
allow switching between them (NIX-80).
Example: two versions of Pan:
$ nix-env -q pan
pan-0.128
pan-0.14.2.91
$ readlink $(which pan)
/nix/store/l38jrbilw269drpjkx7kinhrxj6fjh59-pan-0.14.2.91/bin/pan
At most one of them can be active any given time. Assuming than
0.14.2.91 is active, you can active 0.128 as follows:
$ nix-env --set-flag active false pan-0.14.2.91
$ nix-env --set-flag active true pan-0.128
$ readlink $(which pan)
/nix/store/nziqwnlzy7xl385kglxhg75pfl5i936n-pan-0.128/bin/pan
More flags to follow.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Apr 26 14:20:31 2007 +0000
* nix-env -q now has a flag --prebuilt-only (-b<) that causes nix-env
to show only those derivations whose output is already in the Nix
store or that can be substituted (i.e., downloaded from somewhere).
In other words, it shows the packages that can be installed “quickly”,
i.e., don’t need to be built from source.

commit 044b6482c1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 27 19:10:45 2007 +0000
* Greatly reduced the amount of stack space used by the Nix expression
evaluator. This was important because the NixOS expressions started
to hit 2 MB default stack size on Linux.
GCC is really dumb about stack space: it just adds up all the local
variables and temporaries of every scope into one huge stack frame.
This is really bad for deeply recursive functions. For instance,
every `throw Error(format("error message"))' causes a format object
of a few hundred bytes to be allocated on the stack. As a result,
every recursive call to evalExpr2() consumed 4680 bytes. By
splitting evalExpr2() and by moving the exception-throwing code out
of the main functions, evalExpr2() now only consumes 40 bytes.
Similar for evalExpr().

* New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on
another machine through ssh. E.g.,
$ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn)
copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'. This is like
`nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more
efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the
target machine.

copied to a remote machine. (Currently we use rsync, but that's
rather inefficient.)

Date: Fri Feb 2 01:52:42 2007 +0000
* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation
attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an
operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information
not only on available packages but also on installed packages.
* nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix
expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of
paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has
access to the meta attributes.
* New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of
installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package
policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve
collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade
policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that
is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example:
$ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4

outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).

* Nasty: Glibc clears the TMPDIR environment variable in setuid

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.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Jan 14 17:28:30 2007 +0000
* `nix-store --verify': revive checking the referrers table. This is
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.

commit a3e6415ba8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Dec 12 23:05:01 2006 +0000
* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
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.

commit 7ace29dae7
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Dec 12 19:06:02 2006 +0000
* New operation `nix-env --set' which sets a user environment to a
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.

Date: Sat Dec 9 20:02:27 2006 +0000
* Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This
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).

commit 9dbfe242e3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 8 15:44:00 2006 +0000
* Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
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.

commit 3ed9e4ad9b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Dec 3 03:03:36 2006 +0000
* Some hardcore magic to handle asynchronous client disconnects.
The problem is that when we kill the client while the worker is
building, and the builder is not writing anything to stderr, then
the worker never notice that the socket is closed on the other side,
so it just continues indefinitely. The solution is to catch SIGIO,
which is sent when the far side of the socket closes, and simulate
an normal interruption. Of course, SIGIO is also sent every time
the client sends data over the socket, so we only enable the signal
handler when we're not expecting any data...

commit 765bdfe542
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Nov 30 19:54:43 2006 +0000
* When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave
mode. Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
the caller can be completely unprivileged.
This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
store operations.
Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
That would be even more secure.

Date: Thu Nov 30 17:43:04 2006 +0000
* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One
implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
operations.

* Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard

call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).) For instance, `nix-store
--register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a
certain input. Another victory for Valgrind.

commit e2a70b7ec0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 13 18:18:13 2006 +0000
* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of
pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each
`pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build
directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store
--register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty.
`exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do
something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders
that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS.
`exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because
otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would
be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though
unfortunately possible).

commit 6a67556f71
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 19 16:09:24 2006 +0000
* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the
specified set. For instance,
allowedReferences = [];
specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is
useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for
stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It
could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies,
e.g.,
{gcc, dynlib}: derivation {
...
allowedReferences = [dynlib];
}
says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not
`gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for
this, though.

commit d7efd76394
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 16 15:55:34 2006 +0000
* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see
e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The
semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.
Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
formalisation of the meaning of a path). So
"foo " + ./bla
evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
/path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and
is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
`"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be
replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

Date: Fri Sep 22 14:46:36 2006 +0000
* Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail of

function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
commit 8a1ab709a4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Sep 22 14:31:55 2006 +0000
* New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They
differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)

Date: Tue Sep 19 14:58:35 2006 +0000
* `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously
it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)

commit 9488ae7357
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Sep 19 13:53:35 2006 +0000
* `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the
number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the
size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the
difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the
average size).
$ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
gcc 11
3.3.6 19293318
3.4.4 21425257
...
average 14942970, waste 149429707
coreutils 6
...
average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted
This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space
of the Nix approach.

* nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
unlikely) race conditions.
commit 5c38c863bd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 14 22:30:33 2006 +0000
* Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector.
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the
garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
chain in ~/.nix-profile...
* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
garbage collector lock...").
* Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary
anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 6 14:23:04 2006 +0000
* Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then
runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff.
Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after
this.

Date: Fri Sep 1 12:07:31 2006 +0000
* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write
builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,
stdenv.mkDerivation {
builder = "
source $stdenv/setup
...
";
...
}

Date: Thu Aug 24 14:34:29 2006 +0000
* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to
pass structured information to builders.

to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
all-packages.nix).

foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is
needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".

commit 4a053bfdfd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 23 14:39:11 2006 +0000
* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new
primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For
instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

commit 3e5b68068b
Author: Martin Bravenboer <martin.bravenboer@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Aug 15 21:37:48 2006 +0000
On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

commit 0e6dc72a7a
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 25 16:40:38 2006 +0000
* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
using `nix-env -i -A'. Example:
$ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3
subversion subversion-1.3.2
subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0

commit 5744dd5480
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 25 11:53:22 2006 +0000
* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
e.g.,
$ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver
The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
names is unambiguous and much, much faster.

Date: Mon Jul 24 16:49:28 2006 +0000
* When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.
Can't be lazy!
commit f4c5531d92
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 24 16:35:34 2006 +0000
* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g.,
{ foo : [true false]
, bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
}: ...
This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
space from functions.

* Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
commit ebcccbd358
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 19 16:49:59 2006 +0000
* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,
such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is
inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other
platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in
/proc/NNN.
The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store
paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that
are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e"
on a running program).

"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
identifiers.
* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.

commit 4ada6db1fc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Mar 10 10:24:46 2006 +0000
* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the
argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all
derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.

commit 922697c8b2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 9 15:09:18 2006 +0000
* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
"nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to
addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
Some simple memoization fixes this.
commit 6dca5c9099
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 8 16:03:58 2006 +0000
* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
"i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
platforms.
Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular,
due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.

normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file
/nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB. When running the garbage
collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB
environment.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 13 19:52:43 2006 +0000
* Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that
we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though
not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1
implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.

Date: Mon Feb 13 12:48:59 2006 +0000
* Valgrind suppressions for the ATerm library. The ATerm library uses
a conservative garbage collector that scans the stack and parts of
the heap for pointers to ATerms. This scan can touch uninitialised
memory, which is harmless. Use:
$ valgrind --suppressions=aterm-gc.supp ...

commit c6120352b3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 10 17:25:59 2006 +0000
* In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the
derivation(s) we're interested, e.g.,
$ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11
List elements can also be selected:
$ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion
This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of
course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.

* Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only

commit b90daaaf6c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 2 16:27:31 2006 +0000
* When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as
intended). This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote
machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote
machine also exits. Without this, the remote Nix process will
continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it
locks up. (Partially fixes NIX-35.)

commit e4d4969ae9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jan 12 15:17:51 2006 +0000
* New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a
useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another
machine.
These commands provide functionality previously possible through
`nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many
situations (though possibly less efficient).
Example:
$ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure
(on another machine:)
$ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure
Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a
user environment. One should do `nix-env -i
/nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that.
Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine
`scratchy' through ssh:
$ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure

commit f96d2dea26
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 23 21:36:44 2005 +0000
* Added a flag `--ignore-liveness' to `nix-store --delete'. It
deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root. However, it
won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would
violate store invariants).
Don't try this at home. It's a useful hack for recovering from
certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures
due to disk corruption).

Date: Fri Dec 23 21:08:42 2005 +0000

commit 8463f27d8c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 12 18:24:42 2005 +0000
* Fix NIX-23: quadratic complexity in maintaining the referers
mapping. The referer table is replaced by a referrer table (note
spelling fix) that stores each referrer separately. That is,
instead of having
referer[P] = {Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, ...}
we store
referer[(P, Q_1)] = ""
referer[(P, Q_2)] = ""
referer[(P, Q_3)] = ""
...
To find the referrers of P, we enumerate over the keys with a value
lexicographically greater than P. This requires the referrer table
to be stored as a B-Tree rather than a hash table.
(The tuples (P, Q) are stored as P + null-byte + Q.)
Old Nix databases are upgraded automatically to the new schema.

Date: Mon Oct 17 16:52:29 2005 +0000
* Don't use FIFOs to make Nix create the output path on behalf of the

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 17 15:33:24 2005 +0000
* Beginning of secure multi-user Nix stores. If Nix is started as
root (or setuid root), then builds will be performed under one of
the users listed in the `build-users' configuration variables. This
is to make it impossible to influence build results externally,
allowing locally built derivations to be shared safely between
users (see ASE-2005 paper).
To do: only one builder should be active per build user.

commit b87b9c0d1f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 6 14:44:54 2005 +0000
* New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installed
versions to available versions, or vice versa.
For example, the following compares installed versions to available
versions:
$ nix-env -qc
autoconf-2.59 = 2.59
automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6
f-spot-0.0.10 - ?
firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7
...
I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix
expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and
F-Spot is missing altogether.
Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed
versions:
$ nix-env -qac
autoconf-2.59 = 2.59
automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4
bash-3.0 - ?
firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4
...
Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed.
If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest
is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion
1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `<
1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'.
If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in
red (using ANSI escape codes).

commit 95304172a5
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 21 17:06:06 2005 +0000
* Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file
descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file
descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead.
This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).

commit e1a6fb7870
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 14 14:00:39 2005 +0000
* `dependencyClosure' now allows a search path, e.g.,
dependencyClosure { ... searchPath = [ ../foo ../bar ]; ... }
* Primop `dirOf' to return the directory part of a path (e.g., dirOf
/a/b/c == /a/b).
* Primop `relativise' (according to Webster that's a real word!) that
given paths A and B returns a string representing path B relative
path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".
commit 08c53923db
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 14 12:38:47 2005 +0000
* A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependency
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C
file) in Nix low-level builds automatically.
For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we
find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows:
localIncludes =
dependencyClosure {
scanner = file:
import (findIncludes {
inherit file;
});
startSet = [main];
};
The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting
with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each
file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings
representing relative paths). For instance, when `scanner' is
called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line
#include "../bar/fnord.h"
then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"]. This list of
dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added
to the set of dependencies. The process continues until no more
dependencies are found (hence its a closure).
`dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a
dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start
file, e.g.,
[ /bla/bla/foo.c
"foo.c"
/bla/bar/fnord.h
"../bar/fnord.h"
]
These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles
foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by
foo.c.
The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using
the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more
efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by
building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have
actually changed. The old approach rescanned every time.

commit 22d3587f3b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 12 16:06:25 2005 +0000
* In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments
with default values automatically. I.e., e -> e {}.
This feature makes convenience expressions such as
pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do
$ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix
since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a
default value (__thisSystem).
commit 928a7c06dc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Jun 18 14:20:24 2005 +0000
* Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't
handle it. It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive. Probably we
will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit
machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring
max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't
there).

* Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
attributes named `x' and `y' removed. It is not an error for the
named attributes to be missing from the input set.

commit 77557a6f06
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat May 7 21:48:49 2005 +0000
Commit 3000!
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy. The expression
`derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially)
attrs // {
type = "derivation";
outPath = derivation! attrs;
drvPath = derivation! attrs;
}
where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation
instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do). The
advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and
`nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to
instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute. (However,
`nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always
evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes).
Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other,
for example,
webServer = derivation {
...
hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl";
services = [svnService];
};
svnService = derivation {
...
hostName = webServer.hostName;
};
Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).

commit 97c93526da
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 7 16:26:05 2005 +0000
* In the checker, do traversals of the dependency graph explicitly. A
conditional expression in the blacklist can specify when to
continue/stop a traversal. For example, in
<condition>
<within>
<traverse>
<not><hasAttr name='outputHash' value='.+' /></not>
</traverse>
<hasAttr name='outputHash' value='ef1cb003448b4a53517b8f25adb12452' />
</within>
</condition>
we traverse the dependency graph, not following the dependencies of
`fetchurl' derivations (as indicated by the presence of an
`outputHash' attribute - this is a bit ugly). The resulting set of
paths is scanned for a fetch of a file with the given hash, in this
case, the hash of zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz (which has a security bug). The
intent is that a dependency on zlib is not a problem if it is in a
`fetchurl' derivation, since that's build-time only. (Other
build-time uses of zlib *might* be a problem, e.g., static linking.)

commit db322a47ff
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 1 10:33:55 2005 +0000
* Use a weighted use heuristic to disambiguate between multiple
occurances of a component. If the shortest path distance between a
component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution
of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2. This
expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby
uses.
For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in
Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses,
but they are further away), and between the GCC of the final stdenv
and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).

commit 6bafeafb88
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 25 15:42:52 2005 +0000
* nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated
by the build farm. See e.g.,
http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/;
the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming
the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with
`nix-install-package').
Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a
pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be
added to the user environment. This makes these packages
independent from Nix expression evolution.
Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the
resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that
installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output
path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for
maintenance.
* Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something
when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.

Date: Fri Feb 18 09:50:20 2005 +0000
* Subtle bug in the builder: if a subgoal that is instantiated

* Some tracing code for debugging this kind of problem.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 17 15:57:46 2005 +0000
* `nix-store -q --tree' shows a tree representing the dependency graph
of the given derivation. Useful for getting a quick overview of how
something was built. E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in
your user environment was built, you can do
$ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle))
Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths
under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).

user's current profile.

* Fix broken GC test.
commit 8992fce3da
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 14 17:35:10 2005 +0000
* It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a
user environment, e.g.,
$ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv
or
$ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1
This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
entirely. For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
dependencies).
commit e446d342b7
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 14 17:07:43 2005 +0000
* Added an installation source `--from-expression' (or `-E') to
install derivations from a Nix expression specified on the command
line. This is particularly useful for disambiguation if there are
multiple derivations with the same name. For instance, in Nixpkgs,
to install the Firefox wrapper rather than the plain Firefox
component:
$ nix-env -f .../i686-linux.nix -i -E 'x: x.firefoxWrapper'
The Nix expressions should be functions to which the default Nix
expression (in this case, `i686-linux.nix') is passed, hence `x:
...'.
This might also be a nice way to deal with high-level (user-level)
variability, e.g.,
$ nix-env -f ./server.nix -i -E 'x: x {port = 8080; ssl = false;}'

commit 20ce2642fc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 11 16:56:45 2005 +0000
* Refactoring to support different installation sources in nix-env.
* Set the references for the user environment manifest properly.
* Don't copy the manifest (this was accidental).
* Don't store derivation paths in the manifest (maybe this should be
made optional). This cleans up the semantics of nix-env, which were
weird.
* Hash on the output paths of activated components, not on derivation
paths. This is because we don't know the derivation path of already
installed components anymore, and it allows the installation of
components by store path (skipping Nix expressions entirely).
* Query options `--out-path' and `--drv-path' to show the output and
derivation paths of components, respectively (the latter replaces
the `--expr' query).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 7 14:32:44 2005 +0000
* `nix-store -qb' to query derivation environment bindings. Useful
for finding build-time dependencies (possibly after a build). E.g.,
$ nix-store -qb aterm $(nix-store -qd $(which strc))
/nix/store/jw7c7s65n1gwhxpn35j9rgcci6ilzxym-aterm-2.3.1
* Arguments to nix-store can be files within store objects, e.g.,
/nix/store/jw7c...-aterm-2.3.1/bin/baffle.
* Idem for garbage collector roots.

commit 65b6c8ab4c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 15:05:32 2005 +0000
* Move root finding from `nix-collect-garbage' to `nix-store --gc'.
This was necessary becase root finding must be done after
acquisition of the global GC lock.
This makes `nix-collect-garbage' obsolete; it is now just a wrapper
around `nix-store --gc'.
* Automatically remove stale GC roots (i.e., indirect GC roots that
point to non-existent paths).
commit 630ae0c9d7
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 13:48:46 2005 +0000
* nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users to
get rid of GC roots. Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the
current directory. Previously, removing that symlink would not
remove the store path being linked to as a GC root. Now, the GC
root created by nix-build is actually a symlink in
`/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto' to `result'. So if that symlink is
removed the GC root automatically becomes invalid (since it can no
longer be resolved). The root itself is not automatically removed -
the garbage collector should delete dangling roots.
commit dcc37c236c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 12:36:25 2005 +0000
* nix-store, nix-instantiate: added an option `--add-root' to
immediately add the result as a permanent GC root. This is the only
way to prevent a race with the garbage collector. For instance, the
old style
ln -s $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate foo.nix)) \
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/result
has two time windows in which the garbage collector can interfere
(by GC'ing the derivation and the output, respectively). On the
other hand,
nix-store --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result -r \
$(nix-instantiate --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/drv \
foo.nix)
is safe.
* nix-build: use `--add-root' to prevent GC races.

Date: Mon Jan 31 22:23:49 2005 +0000
* Acquire a global GC lock to prevent new temporary root files from

garbage collector could periodically release the GC lock to allow
them to run.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 31 10:27:25 2005 +0000
* Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
while holding a write lock on that file. The garbage collector
acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
roots.

Date: Fri Jan 28 20:36:46 2005 +0000

Date: Thu Jan 27 15:21:29 2005 +0000
* Fix and simplify the garbage collector (it's still not concurrent,

Date: Tue Jan 25 21:28:25 2005 +0000
* Maintain the references/referers relation also for derivations.
This simplifies garbage collection and `nix-store --query
--requisites' since we no longer need to treat derivations

* Better maintaining of the invariants, e.g., setReferences() can only
be called on a valid/substitutable path.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jan 25 11:18:03 2005 +0000
* In nix-store: added query `--referers-closure' that returns the
closure of the referers relation rather than the references
relation, i.e., the set of all paths that directly or indirectly
refer to the given path. Note that contrary to the references
closure this set is not fixed; it can change as paths are added to
or removed from the store.

Date: Thu Jan 20 14:10:19 2005 +0000
* Another change to low-level derivations. The last one this year, I
promise :-) This allows derivations to specify on *what* output
paths of input derivations they are dependent. This helps to
prevent unnecessary downloads. For instance, a build might be
dependent on the `devel' and `lib' outputs of some library
component, but not the `docs' output.

Date: Wed Jan 19 16:59:56 2005 +0000
* Nix-store queries `--references' and `referers' to query the pointer
graph. That is, `nix-store --query --references PATH' shows the set
of paths referenced by PATH, and `nix-store --query --referers PATH'
shows the set of paths referencing PATH.
commit 96de272b48

Date: Wed Jan 19 16:39:47 2005 +0000
* Renamed `normalise.cc' -> `build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
they have been built/added. This is so that we can check whether
the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
holds.

commit 863dcff6c5
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 19 11:16:11 2005 +0000
* Started removing closure store expressions, i.e., the explicit
representation of closures as ATerms in the Nix store. Instead, the
file system pointer graph is now stored in the Nix database. This
has many advantages:
- It greatly simplifies the implementation (we can drop the notion
of `successors', and so on).
- It makes registering roots for the garbage collector much easier.
Instead of specifying the closure expression as a root, you can
simply specify the store path that must be retained as a root.
This could not be done previously, since there was no way to find
the closure store expression containing a given store path.
- Better traceability: it is now possible to query what paths are
referenced by a path, and what paths refer to a path.

* Actually check that the result of fixed-output derivations matches
the specified hash.
commit f3dc231250
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 17 16:55:19 2005 +0000
* Removed the `id' attribute hack.
* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
dependency graph. Previously this was done by specifying the hash
component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
and then produce a completely different output). Now the
responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
Nix itself.
A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
`outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
at the length of the attribute value). MD5 is included for
compatibility but should be considered deprecated.
* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results. It's
no longer necessary.
* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
expressions. Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
`devel', `docs'). Previously there was no way to tell output paths
apart at the store expression level.
* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
be printed in base-32 notation.
* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
`md5'.
* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32. (TODO: a
flag to specify the hash.)
commit d58a11e019
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 14 16:04:03 2005 +0000
* Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits
and letters except e, o, u, and t). This produces store paths like
/nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1. The nice
thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32
characters, as before with MD5.
(Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than
SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to
attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
commit 9530cc3170
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 14 13:51:38 2005 +0000
* Start move towards SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5.
* Start cleaning up unique store path generation (they weren't always
unique; in particular the suffix ("-aterm-2.2", "-builder.sh") was
not part of the hash, therefore changes to the suffix would cause
multiple store objects with the same hash).

* Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source

copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes
to the sources).

commit fa9259f5f5
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 20 13:43:32 2004 +0000
* Simplify the substitute mechanism:
- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a
command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you
register a substitute you are responsible for registering the
expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage
collector.
- Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.

Date: Mon Dec 13 16:56:18 2004 +0000
* Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing the
cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the
path (necessary for checking patch applicability).
commit 862f4c154e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 13 13:47:38 2004 +0000
* Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR
archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests.
Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be
used to construct the target path. In particular, patches can be
chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be
omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible). A shortest path
algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded
(the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine
taking the network speed to the various source into account).
Patches are binary deltas between two store paths. To be precise,
they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR
archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store
paths. The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing
file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled
automatically. The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation
of unchanged files (by hard-linking).

* Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.
Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for
the constructors specified in `constructors.def'. In particular
this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix
expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.

commit ee401afad8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Oct 26 16:59:36 2004 +0000
* Mode `--parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, `-'), and print
out the AST as an ATerm.
* Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the
resulting normal form as an ATerm.
Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.
commit 37d7abd694
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 25 16:54:56 2004 +0000
* New language feature: with expressions.
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
the attribute set E1 substituted. E.g.,
with {x = 123;}; x
evaluates to 123. That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.
This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
definitions. E.g., instead of
let {
inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;
body = ... a ... f ...;
}
we can now say
with import ./foo.nix;
... a ... f ...
I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
commit f4d44a0026
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 25 14:38:23 2004 +0000
* Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write
permission to the Nix store or database. E.g., `nix-env -qa' will
work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access). The
option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only
activated when the database cannot be opened.

Date: Sun Sep 12 19:08:57 2004 +0000
* Fallback didn't work for subderivations of an unnormalised the main
derivation, since NormalisationGoal would first run a
NormalisationGoal on the subderivation (a no-op, since in a
situation where we need fallback the successor is known), and then
runs a RealisationGoal on the normal form, which then cannot do a
fallback because it doesn't know the derivation expression for which
it is a normal form.
Tossed out the 2-phase normalisation/realisation in
NormalisationGoal and SubstitutionGoal since it's no longer needed -
a RealisationGoal will run a NormalisationGoal if necessary.

* A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.
Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env
etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user. So for
instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that
the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so
that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression. Now we just
switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and
the like. The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary,
however. Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in
it is executed as the original user.
* Back out r1385. setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new
real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the
original uid. setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the
manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it
unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).

Date: Thu Sep 9 15:55:31 2004 +0000
* Use setre[ug]id() instead of setres[ug]id(), since the former is
more common than the latter (which exists only on Linux and
FreeBSD). We don't really care about dropping the saved IDs since
there apparently is no way to quiry them in any case, so it can't
influence the build (unlike the effective IDs which are checked by
Perl for instance).

Date: Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 2004 +0000
* Set the umask to known value (0022). This is important in a
setuid installation, since the calling user may have a more fascist
umask (say, 0077), which would cause the store objects built by Nix
to be unreadable to anyone other than the Nix user.

Date: Mon Aug 30 11:51:36 2004 +0000
* Removed nrWaitees field. It was redundant with waitees.size() and
could get out of sync if multiple input derivations mapped to the
same closure expression (since waitees is a set).
commit eb233e728f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 16:54:08 2004 +0000
* `--min-age' flag in nix-store and nix-collect-garbage to only delete
unreachable paths that haven't been used for N hours. For instance,
`nix-collect-garbage --min-age 168' only deletes paths that haven't
been accessed in the last week.
This is useful for instance in the build farm where many derivations
can be shared between consecutive builds, and we wouldn't want a
garbage collect to throw them all away. We could of course register
them as roots, but then we'd to unregister them at some point, which
would be a pain to manage. The `--min-age' flag gives us a sort of
MRU caching scheme.
BUG: this really shouldn't be in gc.cc since that violates
mechanism/policy separation.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 15:39:13 2004 +0000
* `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it
doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted. So
there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete'
(which doesn't even exist anymore).
commit 818047881e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 11:43:49 2004 +0000
* Put the garbage collector in nix-store: operation `--gc',
suboperations `--print-live', `--print-dead', and `--delete'. The
roots are not determined by nix-store; they are read from standard
input. This is to make it easy to customise what the roots are.
The collector now no longer fails when store expressions are missing
(which legally happens when using substitutes). It never tries to
fetch paths through substitutes.
TODO: acquire a global lock on the store while garbage collecting.
* Removed `nix-store --delete'.

Date: Fri Aug 20 15:22:33 2004 +0000
* On systems that have the setresuid() and setresgid() system calls to
set the real uid and gid to the effective uid and gid, the Nix
binaries can be installed as owned by the Nix user and group instead
of root, so no root involvement of any kind is necessary.
Linux and FreeBSD have these functions.
commit 2d35116c13
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 20 14:49:05 2004 +0000
* Setuid support for sharing a Nix installation between multiple
users.
If the configure flag `--enable-setuid' is used, the Nix programs
nix-env, nix-store, etc. are installed with the setuid bit turned on
so that they are executed as the user and group specified by
`--with-nix-user=USER' and `--with-nix-group=GROUP', respectively
(with defaults `nix' and `nix').
The setuid programs drop all special privileges if they are executed
by a user who is not a member of the Nix group.
The setuid feature is a quick hack to enable sharing of a Nix
installation between users who trust each other. It is not
generally secure, since any user in the Nix group can modify (by
building an appropriate derivation) any object in the store, and for
instance inject trojans into binaries used by other users.
The setuid programs are owned by root, not the Nix user. This is
because on Unix normal users cannot change the real uid, only the
effective uid. Many programs don't work properly when the real uid
differs from the effective uid. For instance, Perl will turn on
taint mode. However, the setuid programs drop all root privileges
immediately, changing all uids and gids to the Nix user and group.

commit 91dc023665
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jun 28 10:42:57 2004 +0000
* Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual:
Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is
already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on
normalising the derivation.
The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have
registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from,
say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the
realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is
specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, binary
installation falls back on a source installation. This option is
not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient
failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from
source (with the related consumption of resources).

* A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as
much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.)
* Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when
a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this
means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang
around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak
pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection.
* Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Jun 20 19:17:54 2004 +0000
* Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser.
* A better substitute mechanism.
Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for
which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression
that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired
store path, which is passed as an argument.
This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files
instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes.
(It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a
performance problem).
* Added a test for the substitute mechanism.
* `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input,
instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running
into the kernel's limit on command line length.

commit a8306cb98f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu May 13 19:14:49 2004 +0000
* The build hooks used to implement distributed builds can now be run
in parallel. Hooks are more efficient: locks on output paths are
only acquired when the hook says that it is willing to accept a
build job. Hooks now work in two phases. First, they should first
tell Nix whether they are willing to accept a job. Nix guarantuees
that no two hooks will ever be in the first phase at the same time
(this simplifies the implementation of hooks, since they don't have
to perform locking (?)). Second, if they accept a job, they are
then responsible for building it (on the remote system), and copying
the result back. These can be run in parallel with other hooks and
locally executed jobs.
The implementation is a bit messy right now, though.
* The directory `distributed' shows a (hacky) example of a hook that
distributes build jobs over a set of machines listed in a
configuration file.

commit c8d3882cdc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 11 18:05:44 2004 +0000
* True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is
useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds
on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is
initiated on one master machine, which then distributes
sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not
happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable
of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the
infrastructure to support this.
TODO: substitutes are currently broken.

Date: Wed Apr 21 14:54:05 2004 +0000
* Channels. These allow you to stay current with an evolving set of
Nix expressions.
To subscribe to a channel (needs to be done only once):
nix-channel --add \
http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
This just adds the given URL to ~/.nix-channels (which can also be
edited manually).
To update from all channels:
nix-channel --update
This fetches the latest expressions and pulls cache manifests. The
default Nix expression (~/.nix-defexpr) is made to point to the
conjunction of the expressions downloaded from all channels.
So to update all installed derivations in the current user
environment:
nix-channel --update
nix-env --upgrade '*'
If you are really courageous, you can put this in a cronjob or
something.
You can subscribe to multiple channels. It is not entirely clear
what happens when there are name clashes between derivations from
different channels. From nix-env/main.cc it appears that the one
with the lowest (highest?) hash will be used, which is pretty
meaningless.

commit 59b94ee18a
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Apr 5 22:27:41 2004 +0000
* When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic
(and useless) aterm on the screen. Example:
error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix':
while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533:
while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1:
assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13
Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be
misleading. The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of
the problem.

commit c4ac2a164a
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 30 15:05:35 2004 +0000
* The recent change in nixpkgs of calling `stdenv.mkDerivation'
instead of `derivation' triggered a huge slowdown in the Nix
expression evaluator. Total execution time of `nix-env -qa' went up
by a factor of 60 or so.
This scalability problem was caused by expressions such as
(x: y: ... x ...) a b
where `a' is a large term (say, the one in
`all-packages-generic.nix'). Then the first beta-reduction would
produce
(y: ... a ...) b
by substituting `a' for `x'. The second beta-reduction would then
substitute `b' for `y' into the body `... a ...', which is a large
term due to `a', and thus causes a large traversal to be performed
by substitute() in the second reduction. This is however entirely
redundant, since `a' cannot contain free variables (since we never
substitute below a weak head normal form).
The solution is to wrap substituted terms into a `Closed'
constructor, i.e.,
subst(subs, Var(x)) = Closed(e) iff subs[x] = e
have substitution not descent into closed terms,
subst(subs, Closed(x)) = Closed(x)
and otherwise ignore them for evaluation,
eval(Closed(x)) = eval(x).
* Fix a typo that caused incorrect substitutions to be performed in
simple lambdas, e.g., `(x: x: x) a' would reduce to `(x: a)'.

Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
`/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.

...
builder = /usr/bin/python;
args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
...
commit f8cd904e05
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Mar 27 17:58:04 2004 +0000
* Disallow the Nix store or any of its parents from being symlinks.
This is because the contents of these symlinks are not incorporated
into the hashes of derivations, and could therefore cause a mismatch
between the build system and the target system. E.g., if
`/nix/store' is a symlink to `/data/nix/store', then a builder could
expand this path and store the result. If on the target system
`/nix/store' is not a symlink, or is a symlink that points somewhere
else, we have a dangling pointer.
The trigger for this change is that gcc 3.3.3 does exactly that (it
applies realpath() to some files, such as libraries, which causes
our impurity checker to bail out.)
An annoying side-effect of this change is that it makes it harder to
move the Nix store to a different file system. On Linux, bind
mounts can be used instead of symlink for this purpose (e.g., `mount
-o bind /data/nix/store /nix/store').

These can be set using `--log-type TYPE' or the NIX_LOG_TYPE
environment variable.

commit 9d2669d218
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 15 21:51:14 2004 +0000
* Added a utility that can be used to produce nice HTML pages from Nix
build logs. The program `log2xml' converts a Nix build log (read
from standard input) into XML file that can then be converted to
XHTML by the `log2html.xsl' stylesheet. The CSS stylesheet
`logfile.css' is necessary to make it look good.
This is primarily useful if the log file has a *tree structure*,
i.e., that sub-tasks such as the various phases of a build (unpack,
configure, make, etc.) or recursive invocations of Make are
represented as such. While a log file is in principle an
unstructured plain text file, builders can communicate this tree
structure to `log2xml' by using escape sequences:
- "\e[p" starts a new nesting level; the first line following the
escape code is the header;
- "\e[q" ends the current nesting level.
The generic builder in nixpkgs (not yet committed) uses this. It
shouldn't be to hard to patch GNU Make to speak this protocol.
Further improvements to the generated HTML pages are to allow
collapsing/expanding of subtrees, and to abbreviate store paths (but
to show the full path by hovering the mouse over it).

* When creating a new generation, also make the normal form of the
derivation (i.e., the closure store expression) a root of the
garbage collector. This ensures that running `nix-collect-garbage
--no-successors' is safe.

commit 618aa69b01
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 9 11:59:39 2004 +0000
* In `--upgrade': added flags `--lt', `--leq', `--always' to specify
whether we want to upgrade if the current version is less than the
available version (default), when it is less or equal, or always.
* Added a flag `--dry-run' to show what would happen in `--install',
`--uninstall', and `--upgrade', without actually performing the
operation.
commit 06a75a7e0c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Feb 8 14:07:43 2004 +0000
* A command `--switch-generation' to switch to a specific generation
of the current profile, e.g.,
$ nix-env --list-generations
...
39 2004-02-02 17:53:53
40 2004-02-02 17:55:18
41 2004-02-02 17:55:41
42 2004-02-02 17:55:50 (current)
$ nix-env --switch-generation 39
$ ls -l /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
... default -> default-39-link
* Also a command `--rollback' which is just a convenience operation to
rollback to the oldest generation younger than the current one.
Note that generations properly form a tree. E.g., if after
switching to generation 39, we perform an installation action,
a generation 43 is created which is a descendant of 39, not 42. So
a rollback from 43 ought to go back to 39. This is not currently
implemented; generations form a linear sequence.

commit 66e94d3275
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 6 10:30:20 2004 +0000
* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
...
default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
experimental -> experimental-2-link
experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...
* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
$prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
`.id'.

Date: Wed Feb 4 17:23:26 2004 +0000
* Extended the `inherit' syntax to optionally select attributes from
other attribute sets, rather than the current scope. E.g.,
{inherit (pkgs) gcc binutils;}
is equivalent to
{gcc = pkgs.gcc; binutils = pkgs.binutils;}
I am not so happy about the syntax.

commit 1c9c0a5a46
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 2 21:39:33 2004 +0000
* Added syntactic sugar to the construction of attribute sets to
`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.
E.g.,
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
inherit stdenv libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
is equivalent to
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
stdenv = stdenv;
libfoo = libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
{...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
`rec {x = x}'.

* Replaced the SDF parser by a substantially faster Bison/Flex
parser (roughly 80x faster).
The absolutely latest version of Bison (1.875c) is required for
reentrant GLR support, as well as a recent version of Flex (say,
2.5.31). Note that most Unix distributions ship with the
prehistoric Flex 2.5.4, which doesn't support reentrancy.

commit 447089a5f6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jan 15 20:23:55 2004 +0000
* Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt
Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.
Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except
change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an
interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

Date: Thu Jan 15 14:43:00 2004 +0000
* In `nix-env --query --status', determine the `I' bit by looking at
the output path of a derivation, not the path of its store
expression. This ensures that changes that affect the path of the
store expression but not the output path, do not affect the
`installed' state of a derivation.

Date: Wed Jan 7 15:53:14 2004 +0000
* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that
it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the
Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone. Do
the following:
- optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db.
- run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
$ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1
- optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
$ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db
- remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 5 16:26:43 2004 +0000
* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
query commands. For instance,
$ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix
$ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa]
sylpheed-0.9.7
bison-1.875
pango-1.2.5
subversion-0.35.1
...
$ nix-env -i sylpheed
$ nix-env -u subversion
There can be only one default at a time.
* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
commit f83c5e3e5f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 5 11:18:59 2004 +0000
* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
.../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
if it doesn't exist yet. Example use:
$ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
$ nix-env -p my_profile
I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)

commit cf0287c09e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 22 16:04:00 2003 +0000
* Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if
the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not
installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so
nix-env -u foo.nix '*'
will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if
available.
The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most
cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator:
TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0);
TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1);
TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1);
TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1);
TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1);
TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1);
(-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater)
* A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is
the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful
output, e.g.,
$ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 24 11:11:40 2003 +0000
* One-click installation :-)
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which
contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches),
unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the
user's environment.
For best results, associate the command `xterm -e
/nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type
`application/x-nix-package' and visit
http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.

commit 15801c88fa
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Nov 9 10:35:45 2003 +0000
* Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since they
turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed
would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity
level). This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%.
gprof(1) is very useful. :-)

Date: Wed Nov 5 16:20:57 2003 +0000

substitutions, Fix terms are very large when printed as trees (in
memory, they are quite compact due to sharing).

commit 0690c1c9c0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 3 20:30:40 2003 +0000
* Work around problems with the ATerm library.
The ATerm library doesn't search the heap for pointers to ATerms
when garbage collecting. As a result, C++ containers such as
`map<ATerm, ATerm>' will cause pointer to be hidden from the garbage
collector, causing crashes. Instead, we now use ATermTables.
commit ff31324278
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 3 18:21:53 2003 +0000

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Oct 31 11:22:56 2003 +0000
* Use SGparseString() instead of SGparseFile() because the latter is
buggy. It fails to clear an internal variable (SG_textIndex)
between invocations, so it can be called only once during a program
execution.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Oct 22 11:04:57 2003 +0000
* Ad hoc per-package logging. When Nix performs a derivation, it now
writes stdout/stderr of the builder to ${prefix}/var/log/nix/x,
where x is the file name of the derivation expression, e.g.,
/nix/var/log/nix/54256391624be04fcb426048ae3ea0a4-d-pan-0.14.2.nix
Note that consecutive builds of the same expression overwrite,
rather than append to, existing log files.

Date: Thu Oct 16 16:29:57 2003 +0000
* Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This
should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).

Date: Thu Oct 16 08:52:44 2003 +0000
* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and do not synchronously flush the
log on commit. This means that there is a small change that some
transactions may be rolled back in case of a system crash, but this
should not be a problem (it merely might cause some expression
realisations to be rolled back), and it vastly improves performance.
* Upgraded to ATerm 2.0.5 (which also includes Armijn's 64-bit
patches).

Date: Wed Oct 8 15:06:59 2003 +0000
* Get rid of identifiers since they are redundant now. This greatly
simplifies stuff.
* The format of Nix expressions and the database schema changed
because of this, so it's best to delete old Nix installations.

commit a88144215c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 22 20:12:44 2003 +0000
* Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built.
* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as
wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we
don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
commit 56b98c3857
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 22 11:29:20 2003 +0000

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 14:11:40 2003 +0000
* Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of
slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
commit 624c48260f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 12:39:56 2003 +0000
* Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as
keys to reference slice elements, e.g.,
Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...])
This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations. Therefore we
now have:
Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...])
* Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice
elements to be duplicated.
commit 710175e6a0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 11:31:15 2003 +0000

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 11:30:45 2003 +0000
* Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Aug 19 09:04:47 2003 +0000
* Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
commit 31e4aa6439
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 18 16:32:55 2003 +0000
* Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")])
The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the
inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing
spaces).
commit ebbb6ce578

Date: Mon Aug 18 14:54:54 2003 +0000
* Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...)
when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with
some dummy value.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 15 13:01:45 2003 +0000
* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
builder using the `args' binding:
("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])
Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
in the argument list.
commit 555347744d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 15 12:32:37 2003 +0000
* Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the
builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
hashes to change.

Date: Wed Aug 6 14:48:29 2003 +0000
* Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 6 09:34:04 2003 +0000
* Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the

again without blocking or failing). (This might be dangerous, not
sure). Necessary for fast builds to work.
commit 720f06e3b0

Date: Wed Aug 6 09:06:32 2003 +0000
* A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of

commit c95b4ad290
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 1 15:41:47 2003 +0000
* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for
recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
the garbage collector.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 1 14:11:19 2003 +0000
* normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus

commit 8846465934
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 29 14:28:17 2003 +0000
* Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*.
Renamed `fstateRefs' to `fstateRequisites'. The semantics of this
function is that it returns a list of all paths necessary to realise
a given expression. For a derive expression, this is the union of
requisites of the inputs; for a slice expression, it is the path of
each element in the slice. Also included are the paths of the
expressions themselves. Optionally, one can also include the
requisites of successor expressions (to recycle intermediate
results).
* `nix-switch' now distinguishes between an expression and its normal
form. Usually, only the normal form is registered as a root of the
garbage collector. With the `--source-root' flag, it will also
register the original expression as a root.
* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--keep-successors' which

commit ce5fd1cc12
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 28 16:07:01 2003 +0000
* Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks
up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another
glibc so loading barfs.
Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in
executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is
harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g.,
`/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the
rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH,
which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but
*before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.

commit e877c69d78
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 22 15:15:15 2003 +0000
* Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are
substituting for (obvious, really).
* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
preventing a path copy.
* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This
is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

Date: Mon Jul 21 20:07:12 2003 +0000
* Allow the output/expression id to be forced to a certain

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 16 21:24:02 2003 +0000
* The write() system call can write less than the requested
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP.
This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes.
Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix
--dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero
exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline.
Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements
in the pipeline? (In other words, is it at all possible to
write reliable shell scripts?)

* A command to register successor fstate expressions.
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now,
since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is
known. Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a
substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was
missing.

commit 1d1c3691d2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jul 10 15:11:48 2003 +0000
* The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
`substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.
This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an
improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
(fetching through `wget') built in.
The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.

* Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iff

Date: Sun May 25 22:43:33 2003 +0000
* Updated Fix descriptors to reflect the new Fix abstract syntax.
commit 7dd91d3779
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun May 25 22:42:19 2003 +0000
* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by
sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix
descriptor).
`nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by
consulting the paths and URLs specified in
$prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash,
$prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with
Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when
installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking
$location.
`nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no
prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these
to the network through rsync.
`nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the
mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands.
commit 0ef4b6d0f8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 25 15:33:50 2003 +0000
* Cleaned up the semantics of Fix expressions.
* Conditionals and variables in Fix expressions. This allows, e.g.,
Descr(
[ Bind("pkgId", "subversion-0.21.0")
, Bind("httpsClient", Bool(True))
, Bind("httpServer", Bool(True))
, Bind("ssl", If(Var("httpsClient"), Fix("./openssl-0.9.7b.fix"), ""))
, Bind("httpd", If(Var("httpServer"), Fix("./httpd-2.0.45.fix"), ""))
...
])
which introduces domain feature variables httpsClient and httpServer
(i.e., whether Subversion is built with https client and webdav
server support); the values of the variables influences package
dependencies and the build scripts.
The next step is to allow that packages can express constraints on
each other. E.g., StrategoXT is dependent on an ATerm library with
the "gcc" variant enabled. In fact, this may cause several
Nix instantiations to be created from a single Fix descriptor. If
possible, Fix should try to find the least set of instantiations
that obeys the constraints.

Date: Wed Apr 9 13:03:00 2003 +0000
* A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage
doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their
descriptor hashes. So we can do
nix info $(nix-collect-garbage)
to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and
nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage)
to actually delete them.
commit 30a6122f80
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Apr 9 12:46:44 2003 +0000
* When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash.
This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
doing
nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)
which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
referenced by them. We could then garbage collect unused packages
by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
returned by `nix closure ...'.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Apr 9 12:37:49 2003 +0000
* In `fix --instantiate', only print out the hashes of the Nix
descriptors generated out of Fix descriptors specified on the
command line. This allows us to say:
nix-switch $(fix -i ./test/fixdescriptors/system.fix)
commit aa8fda4b54
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Apr 9 12:26:48 2003 +0000
* We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a
build action for `system' packages (like system.fix) that have
dependencies on all packages we want to activate.
So the command sequence to switch to a new activation configuration
of the system would be:
$ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix
...
system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f
$ nix-switch 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f
* A nix-profile.sh script that can be included in .bashrc.

commit 0f40a560ca
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 25 16:36:25 2003 +0000
* Added a script nix-activate which builds a list of "activated"
packages (i.e., the packages that should appear in the user's $PATH,
and so on). Based on this list, the script nix-populate creates a
hierarchy of symlinks to the relevant files in those packages (e.g.,
for pkg/bin and pkg/lib).
A nice property of nix-populate is that on each run it creates a
*new* tree, rather than updating the old one. It then atomically
switches over to the new tree. This allows atomic upgrades or
rollbacks on the set of activated packages.

Date: Mon Mar 24 17:49:56 2003 +0000
* For efficiency: md5 integrated into nix.
* Command `nix ensure' which is like `nix getpkg' except that if the
has refers to a run action it will just ensure that the imports are
there.
* Command `nix closure' to print out the closure of the set of
descriptors under the import relation, starting at a set of roots.
This can be used for garbage collection (e.g., given a list of
`activated' packages, we can delete all packages not reachable from
those).
* Command `nix graph' to print out a Dot graph of the dependency
graph.
* `nix-addroot' adds a root for the (unimplemented) garbage collector.

* A descriptor for running the Pan newsreader.
* Added descriptors for gtkspell and its support package pspell.
Gtkspell is an optional dependency of Pan, so we should add the
ability to nix-instantiate to instantiate variants of a package
based on a selection of features.
commit 20d165c344
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 23 23:24:09 2003 +0000
* A command to run programs in Nix packages, that is, to execute a run
action. Run actions are described by uniquely hashed descriptors,
just like build actions. Therefore run actions can have
dependencies, but these need not be the same as the build time
dependencies (e.g., at runtime we can link against a different
version of a dynamic library). Example:
nix run 31d6bf4c171282367065e0deecd7c579
will run the Pan 0.13.91 newsreader with gtkspell support.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Mar 14 16:43:14 2003 +0000
* Improved Nix. Resources (package descriptors and other source
files) are now referenced using their cryptographic hashes.
This ensures that if two package descriptors have the same contents,
then they describe the same package. This property is not as
trivial as it sounds: generally import relations cause this property
not to hold w.r.t. temporality. But since imports also use hashes
to reference other packages, equality follows by induction.

Disable vacuuming the DB after garbage collection
Especially in WAL mode on a highly loaded machine, this is not a good
idea because it results in a WAL file of approximately the same size
ad the database, which apparently cannot be deleted while anybody is
accessing it.

nix-daemon: Call exit(), not _exit()
This was preventing destructors from running. In particular, it was
preventing the deletion of the temproot file for each worker
process. It may also have been responsible for the excessive WAL
growth on Hydra (due to the SQLite database not being closed
properly).
Apparently broken by accident in

Date: Fri Aug 1 16:46:01 2014 +0200
Allow regular files as GC roots
If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store
path. For instance, the existence of the file
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
would cause
/nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7
to be a root.
This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink()
call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes
up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more
efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org,
which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots
can take 25 minutes.

nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated

‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.
‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

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~<integer>") 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.

build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).
It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.
Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition
There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a
remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client
first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies
over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the
remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present
paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted
paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both
steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’),
locking all paths in the closure while querying.
I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so
this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked
experimental anyway.
Fixes#141.

store path, the client could dump any path in the file system.

commit 5cd022d6c0
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Sun Jun 1 10:42:56 2014 -0400
Add importNative primop
This can be used to import a dynamic shared object and return an
arbitrary value, including new primops. This can be used both to test
new primops without having to recompile nix every time, and to build
specialized primops that probably don't belong upstream (e.g. a function
that calls out to gpg to decrypt a nixops secret as-needed).
The imported function should initialize the Value & as needed. A single
import can define multiple values by creating an attrset or list, of
course.
An example initialization function might look like:
extern "C" void initialize(nix::EvalState & state, nix::Value & v)
{
v.type = nix::tPrimOp;
v.primOp = NEW nix::PrimOp(myFun, 1, state.symbols.create("myFun"));
}
Then `builtins.importNative ./example.so "initialize"` will evaluate to
the primop defined in the myFun function.

Date: Mon May 26 17:02:22 2014 +0200
Make the Nix search path declarative
Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile
nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can
override the search path simply by saying
let
nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ];
in ... <nixpkgs> ...
In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit
c273c15cb1), the Nix search path can be
propagated across imports, e.g.
let
overrides = {
nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath;
import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
builtins = builtins // overrides;
};
in scopedImport overrides ./nixos

{ path = "/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/share/nix/corepkgs"; prefix = "nix"; }
]
commit c273c15cb1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon May 26 13:46:11 2014 +0200
Add primop ‘scopedImport’
‘scopedImport’ works like ‘import’, except that it takes a set of
attributes to be added to the lexical scope of the expression,
essentially extending or overriding the builtin variables. For
instance, the expression
scopedImport { x = 1; } ./foo.nix
where foo.nix contains ‘x’, will evaluate to 1.
This has a few applications:
* It allows getting rid of function argument specifications in package
expressions. For instance, a package expression like:
{ stdenv, fetchurl, libfoo }:
stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
can now we written as just
stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
and imported in all-packages.nix as:
bar = scopedImport pkgs ./bar.nix;
So whereas we once had dependencies listed in three places
(buildInputs, the function, and the call site), they now only need
to appear in one place.
* It allows overriding builtin functions. For instance, to trace all
calls to ‘map’:
let
overrides = {
map = f: xs: builtins.trace "map called!" (map f xs);
# Ensure that our override gets propagated by calls to
# import/scopedImport.
import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
# Also update ‘builtins’.
builtins = builtins // overrides;
};
in scopedImport overrides ./bla.nix
* Similarly, it allows extending the set of builtin functions. For
instance, during Nixpkgs/NixOS evaluation, the Nixpkgs library
functions could be added to the default scope.
There is a downside: calls to scopedImport are not memoized, unlike
import. So importing a file multiple times leads to multiple parsings
/ evaluations. It would be possible to construct the AST only once,
but that would require careful handling of variables/environments.

nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:
log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log
then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:
$ nix-store -l $(which xterm)
and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

This is tolerant of removing the .links directory, it will simply
recalculate all hashes in the store.

Shortcut already-hardlinked files
If an inode in the Nix store has more than 1 link, it probably means that it was linked into .links/ by us. If so, skip.
There's a possibility that something else hardlinked the file, so it would be nice to be able to override this.
Also, by looking at the number of hardlinks for each of the files in .links/, you can get deduplication numbers and space savings.

nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.
For example, say that you have these 3 generations:
1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>
If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).
This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.
Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems
/dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my
Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating
3.10-3 reported not having this problem.)
There’s still the problem that people without
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc),
but I don’t see how we could work around it.

Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()
Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to
handleChildOutput() can result in cancellation of a goal. This
invalidated the "j" iterator in the waitForInput() loop, even though
it was still used afterwards. Likewise for the maxSilentTime
handling.
Probably fixes#231. At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.

Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:
unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed
coming from this line:
printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));
The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.
Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like
printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);
or
throw Error("foo: " + s);

Make /dev/kvm optional
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!). However, it
expects /dev/kvm to be present.
The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems,
and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists.
I’m not sure about the way to handle (2). We could special-case
/dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so
it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely,
if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

Fix tabs
commit 51800e06de
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Date: Tue Mar 18 23:17:14 2014 +0100
Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid path
Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an
invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when
that happens.
More precisely:
1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an
‘Error’ exception;
2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’;
3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after
sending the message.
This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch
below.
The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or
more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to
be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this
one to allow recovery.

Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application
If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’
temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’

Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in
c897bac549.

Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to
redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid.
If the new output differs from the original output, an error is
printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic.
(Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it
catches the most common one, namely the current time.)
For example:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf
...
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check
error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv'
The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first
call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid.
The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put
in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using
hash rewriting.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Feb 17 22:25:15 2014 +0100
Move some code around
In particular, do replacing of valid paths during repair later. This
prevents us from replacing a valid path after the build fails.

commit 64e23d0a38
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Sat Feb 8 00:05:46 2014 -0500
Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.
This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:
* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

Add the nix-store --serve command
This is essentially the substituter API operating on the local store,
which will be used by the ssh substituter. It runs in a loop rather than
just taking one command so that in the future nix will be able to keep
one connection open for multiple instances of the substituter.

Remove duplicate elements from *_SOURCES
This is useful when you do:
foo_SOURCES := $(wildcard *.cc) foo.cc
where foo.cc is a generated file. In this case, if foo.cc already
exists, you get foo.cc twice in foo_SOURCES, leading to a link error.

Date: Wed Jan 8 15:23:41 2014 +0100
Support cryptographically signed binary caches
NAR info files in binary caches can now have a cryptographic signature
that Nix will verify before using the corresponding NAR file.
To create a private/public key pair for signing and verifying a binary
cache, do:
$ openssl genrsa -out ./cache-key.sec 2048
$ openssl rsa -in ./cache-key.sec -pubout > ./cache-key.pub
You should also come up with a symbolic name for the key, such as
"cache.example.org-1". This will be used by clients to look up the
public key. (It's a good idea to number keys, in case you ever need
to revoke/replace one.)
To create a binary cache signed with the private key:
$ nix-push --dest /path/to/binary-cache --key ./cache-key.sec --key-name cache.example.org-1
The public key (cache-key.pub) should be distributed to the clients.
They should have a nix.conf should contain something like:
signed-binary-caches = *
binary-cache-public-key-cache.example.org-1 = /path/to/cache-key.pub
If all works well, then if Nix fetches something from the signed
binary cache, you will see a message like:
*** Downloading ‘http://cache.example.org/nar/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’ (signed by ‘cache.example.org-1’) to ‘/nix/store/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’...
On the other hand, if the signature is wrong, you get a message like
NAR info file `http://cache.example.org/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j.narinfo' has an invalid signature; ignoring
Signatures are implemented as a single line appended to the NAR info
file, which looks like this:
Signature: 1;cache.example.org-1;HQ9Xzyanq9iV...muQ==
Thus the signature has 3 fields: a version (currently "1"), the ID of
key, and the base64-encoded signature of the SHA-256 hash of the
contents of the NAR info file up to but not including the Signature
line.
Issue #75.

Don't use any syntactic sugar for dynamic attrs
This doesn't change any functionality but moves some behavior out of the
parser and into the evaluator in order to simplify the code.

Date: Tue Dec 31 17:57:10 2013 -0500
Fold dynamic binds handling into addAttr
Since addAttr has to iterate through the AttrPath we pass it, it makes
more sense to just iterate through the AttrNames in addAttr instead. As
an added bonus, this allows attrsets where two dynamic attribute paths
have the same static leading part (see added test case for an example
that failed previously).

commit 18fefacf7d
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Fri Sep 20 23:25:30 2013 -0400
Dynamic attrs
This adds new syntax for attribute names:
* attrs."${name}" => getAttr name attrs
* attrs ? "${name}" => isAttrs attrs && hasAttr attrs name
* attrs."${name}" or def => if attrs ? "${name}" then attrs."${name}" else def
* { "${name}" = value; } => listToAttrs [{ inherit name value; }]
Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that. The attribute chains
can be arbitrarily long and contain combinations of static and dynamic
parts (e.g. attrs."${foo}".bar."${baz}" or qux), which is relatively
straightforward for the getAttrs/hasAttrs cases but is more complex for
the listToAttrs case due to rules about duplicate attribute definitions.
For attribute sets with dynamic attribute names, duplicate static
attributes are detected at parse time while duplicate dynamic attributes
are detected when the attribute set is forced. So, for example, { a =
null; a.b = null; "${"c"}" = true; } will be a parse-time error, while
{ a = {}; "${"a"}".b = null; c = true; } will be an eval-time error
(technically that case could theoretically be detected at parse time,
but the general case would require full evaluation). Moreover, duplicate
dynamic attributes are not allowed even in cases where they would be
with static attributes ({ a.b.d = true; a.b.c = false; } is legal, but {
a."${"b"}".d = true; a."${"b"}".c = false; } is not). This restriction
might be relaxed in the future in cases where the static variant would
not be an error, but it is not obvious that that is desirable.
Finally, recursive attribute sets with dynamic attributes have the
static attributes in scope but not the dynamic ones. So rec { a = true;
"${"b"}" = a; } is equivalent to { a = true; b = true; } but rec {
"${"a"}" = true; b = a; } would be an error or use a from the
surrounding scope if it exists.
Note that the getAttr, getAttr or default, and hasAttr are all
implemented purely in the parser as syntactic sugar, while attribute
sets with dynamic attribute names required changes to the AST to be
implemented cleanly.
This is an alternative solution to and closes#167

commit 136f2f7046
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Fri Sep 13 16:55:33 2013 -0400
Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the AST
Certain desugaring schemes may require the parser to use some builtin
function to do some of the work (e.g. currently `throw` is used to
lazily cause an error if a `<>`-style path is not in the search path)
Unfortunately, these names are not reserved keywords, so an expression
that uses such a syntactic sugar will not see the expected behavior
(see tests/lang/eval-okay-redefine-builtin.nix for an example).
This adds the ExprBuiltin AST type, which when evaluated uses the value
from the rootmost variable scope (which of course is initialized
internally and can't shadow any of the builtins).

perl: Call loadConfFile() in doInit to avoid screwing sqlite journal mode.
If the database is opened through perl bindings (and even though nix.conf has
use-sqlite-wal set to false), the database is automatically converted into WAL
mode. This makes the next nix process to access the database convert it back to
"truncate". If the database is still open at the time in wal mode by the perl
program, this fails and crashes the nix doing the wal -> truncate conversion.

because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).

Fix segfault on Darwin
Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly
segfaulted on Darwin:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038
It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow
ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the
other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. It's not exactly clear why the
latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation,
which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. This leads to
a segfault when Perl exits:
#0 0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize ()
#1 0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy ()
#2 0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY ()
#3 0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch ()
...
#14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct ()
#15 0x0000000100000d6a in main ()
...
The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.

nix-shell: Play nicely with non-interactive shells
nix-shell with the --command flag might be used non-interactively, but
if bash starts non-interactively (i.e. with stdin or stderr not a

that case it *will* source the script found in $BASH_ENV, so we can use
that instead.
Also, don't source ~/.bashrc in a non-interactive shell (detectable by
checking the PS1 env var)

Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6
Commit 159e621d1a accidentally changed
the behaviour of antiquoted paths, e.g.
"${/foo}/bar"
used to evaluate to "/nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar" (where /foo gets
copied to the store), but in Nix 1.6 it evaluates to "/foo/bar". This
is inconsistent, since
" ${/foo}/bar"
evaluates to " /nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar". So revert to the old
behaviour.

Print a distinct warning for SQLITE_PROTOCOL
commit d05bf04444
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Oct 16 14:03:22 2013 +0200
Treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY
In the Hydra build farm we fairly regularly get SQLITE_PROTOCOL errors
(e.g., "querying path in database: locking protocol"). The docs for
this error code say that it "is returned if some other process is
messing with file locks and has violated the file locking protocol
that SQLite uses on its rollback journal files." However, the SQLite
source code reveals that this error can also occur under high load:
if( cnt>5 ){
int nDelay = 1; /* Pause time in microseconds */
if( cnt>100 ){
VVA_ONLY( pWal->lockError = 1; )
return SQLITE_PROTOCOL;
}
if( cnt>=10 ) nDelay = (cnt-9)*238; /* Max delay 21ms. Total delay 996ms */
sqlite3OsSleep(pWal->pVfs, nDelay);
}
i.e. if certain locks cannot be not acquired, SQLite will retry a
number of times before giving up and returing SQLITE_PROTOCOL. The
comments say:
Circumstances that cause a RETRY should only last for the briefest
instances of time. No I/O or other system calls are done while the
locks are held, so the locks should not be held for very long. But
if we are unlucky, another process that is holding a lock might get
paged out or take a page-fault that is time-consuming to resolve,
during the few nanoseconds that it is holding the lock. In that case,
it might take longer than normal for the lock to free.
...
The total delay time before giving up is less than 1 second.
On a heavily loaded machine like lucifer (the main Hydra server),
which often has dozens of processes waiting for I/O, it seems to me
that a page fault could easily take more than a second to resolve.
So, let's treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY and retry the
transaction.

Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

Date: Tue Sep 3 21:15:47 2013 +0200
nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.
The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
[ thunderbird
geeqie
...
]
then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:
$ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir
to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)
Suggested by @zefhemel.

Work on Values instead of Exprs
This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and
nix-instantiate.
Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the
extension .nix. Previously it was reading files like
.../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause
problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix
expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid
Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just
the right order).

Simplify inherited attribute handling
This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited
attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets)
by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than
carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member.
As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a
with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes.

On Linux, Nix can build i686 packages even on x86_64 systems. It's not
enough to recognize this situation by settings.thisSystem, we also have

amd64 kernel. In that situation settings.thisSystem is i686-linux, but
we still need to change personality to i686 to make builds consistent.

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.

Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the
daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode:
$ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m0.974s
user 0m0.875s
sys 0m0.088s
$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m2.118s
user 0m1.463s
sys 0m0.218s
The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved
to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a
hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going
through the daemon is very small:
$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real 0m1.074s
user 0m0.809s
sys 0m0.098s

Avoid thunks when a fromWith var can be looked up without evaluation

commit 20866a7031
Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Mon Jul 15 15:53:14 2013 -0400
Delay evaulation of `with` attrs until a variable lookup needs them
Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which
means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some
potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one
set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into
scope for some values in the second set).
The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets
(e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only
options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and
explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one
every time you want to reference another package, or make the set
recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that
comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer
third alternative.

Detect stack overflows
Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep
or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an
unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that
the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it
prints:
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.

killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple
The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that
kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no
way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything
and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't
safely conclude that killUser was successful.
Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines
whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall
directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

This reverts commit 69b8f9980f.
The timeout should be enforced remotely. Otherwise, if the garbage
collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the
build or closure copying for some time. If the garbage collector
takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want.
Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the
remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a
timeout.

Date: Thu Jun 20 12:01:33 2013 +0200
Disable the copy-from-other-stores substituter
This substituter basically cannot work reliably since we switched to
SQLite, since SQLite databases may need write access to open them even
just for reading (and in WAL mode they always do).

Date: Thu Jun 20 11:55:15 2013 +0200
Don't keep "disabled" substituters running
For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if
there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no
manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries
to those substituters.

Allow hard links between the outputs of a derivation
commit cd49ee0897
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Thu Jun 13 17:12:24 2013 +0200
Fix a security bug in hash rewriting
Before calling dumpPath(), we have to make sure the files are owned by
the build user. Otherwise, the build could contain a hard link to
(say) /etc/shadow, which would then be read by the daemon and
rewritten as a world-readable file.
This only affects systems that don't have hard link restrictions
enabled.

Fix assertion failure in canonicalisePathMetaData() after hash rewriting
The assertion in canonicalisePathMetaData() failed because the
ownership of the path already changed due to the hash rewriting. The
solution is not to check the ownership of rewritten paths.

Instead, let the local Nix process terminate the build if it exceeds a

gives better error reporting (since the timeout message from the
remote side wasn't properly propagated) and handles non-Nix problems
like SSH hangs.

makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permission
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.

Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Thu Mar 7 19:39:55 2013 -0500
makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out 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.

Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own
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.

Document ‘hashString’
commit 5f18cd2e84
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Fri Feb 8 19:49:24 2013 +0100
Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path
Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like
exec = "${./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.

the end.

Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes

We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose,
but using null seems more elegant.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Nov 26 17:15:09 2012 +0100
Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation
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.

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.

Date: Tue Nov 20 00:27:25 2012 +0100
nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

Disable use of vfork()
vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487
the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even
though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away.
Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable.
If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.

Process binary caches in order of priority
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.
The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This
is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are
processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.

Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.
Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

Allow dashes in identifiers
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a
package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't
work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The
convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib"
becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in
variable / attribute names, allowing you to write:
dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { };
and
buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ];
Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this
is unambiguous.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Sep 19 16:17:54 2012 -0400
Remove setting of the immutable bit
Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with
store optimisation. For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a
file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has
additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we
don't know the remaining paths.
So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only
mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit. Unfortunately, we have
to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards
compatibility.
commit b9124a5c33
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Wed Sep 19 15:45:29 2012 -0400
Support having /nix/store as a read-only bind mount
It turns out that the immutable bit doesn't work all that well. A
better way is to make the entire Nix store a read-only bind mount,
i.e. by doing
$ mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store
$ mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store
(This would typically done in an early boot script, before anything
from /nix/store is used.)
Since Nix needs to be able to write to the Nix store, it now detects
if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount and then makes it writable in
a private mount namespace.

Put a time-to-live on negative binary cache lookups
Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per
day. However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env

ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like
"nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache.
Should probably make this configurable.

Handle gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations both enabled
If the options gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations are both
enabled, you can get a cycle in the liveness graph. There was a hack
to handle this, but it didn't work with multiple-output derivations,
causing the garbage collector to fail with errors like ‘error: cannot
delete path `...' because it is in use by `...'’. The garbage
collector now handles strongly connected components in the liveness
graph as a unit and decides whether to delete all or none of the paths
in an SCC.

Support building a derivation if some outputs are already valid
This handles the chroot and build hook cases, which are easy.
Supporting the non-chroot-build case will require more work (hash
rewriting!).
Issue #21.

Include config.h before any other header
"config.h" must be included first, because otherwise the compiler
might not see the right value of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. We've had this
before; see 705868a8a9. In this case,
GCC would compute a different address for ‘settings.useSubstitutes’ in
misc.cc because of the off_t in ‘settings’.

Include the output name in the GC root link
Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by
nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out",
nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation
that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks
"./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

to
attr: l: builtins.concatLists (map (s: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] else []) l)

Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the
"filter" function in Nixpkgs. As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a
O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more
efficient (i.e. primop) implementation. Using it gives a ~10% speed
increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.

Add some basic profiling support to the evaluator
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some
basic profiling in the evaluator. It will count calls to functions
and primops as well as evaluations of attributes.

its time:
$ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode
...
calls to 39 primops:
239532 head
233962 tail
191252 hasAttr

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.

Allow a binary cache to declare that it doesn't support "nix-env -qas"
Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially
hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD
requests. So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named
"nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this. It
also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries
to a binary cache for a different store prefix.

download-using-manifests: Don't use nix-prefetch-url
Instead call curl directly and pipe it into ‘nix-store --restore’.
This saves I/O and prevents creating garbage in the Nix store.

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

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Jul 23 15:48:30 2012 -0400
Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links
Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links
to all files in the store. However, this means that if we delete a
store path, no files are actually deleted because links in
/nix/store/.links still exists. So we need to check /nix/store/.links
for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.

optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.links
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links
in /nix/store/.links. For instance, if it encounters a file P with
hash H, it will create a hard link
P' = /nix/store/.link/<H>
to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a
hard link to P'. This is better than the previous in-memory map,
because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a
hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash
it encountered. It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.

Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

download-from-binary-cache: Use HEAD requests if possible
In "nix-env -qas", we don't need the substitute info, we just need to
know if it exists. This can be done using a HTTP HEAD request, which
saves bandwidth.
Note however that curl currently has a bug that prevents it from
reusing HTTP connections if HEAD requests return a 404:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3542731&group_id=976&atid=100976
Without the patch attached to the issue, using HEAD is actually quite
a bit slower than GET.

download-from-binary-cache: parallelise fetching of NAR info files
Getting substitute information using the binary cache substituter has
non-trivial latency overhead. A package or NixOS system configuration
can have hundreds of dependencies, and in the worst case (when the
local info cache is empty) we have to do a separate HTTP request for
each of these. If the ping time to the server is t, getting N info
files will take tN seconds; e.g., with a ping time of 0.1s to
nixos.org, sequentially downloading 1000 info files (a typical NixOS
config) will take at least 100 seconds.
To fix this problem, the binary cache substituter can now perform
requests in parallel. This required changing the substituter
interface to support a function querySubstitutablePathInfos() that
queries multiple paths at the same time, and rewriting queryMissing()
to take advantage of parallelism. (Due to local caching,
parallelising queryMissing() is sufficient for most use cases, since
it's almost always called before building a derivation and thus fills
the local info cache.)
For example, parallelism speeds up querying all 1056 paths in a
particular NixOS system configuration from 116s to 2.6s. It works so
well because the eccentricity of the top-level derivation in the
dependency graph is only 9. So we only need 10 round-trips (when
using an unlimited number of parallel connections) to get everything.
Currently we do a maximum of 150 parallel connections to the server.
Thus it's important that the binary cache server (e.g. nixos.org) has
a high connection limit. Alternatively we could use HTTP pipelining,
but WWW::Curl doesn't support it and libcurl has a hard-coded limit of
5 requests per pipeline.

download-from-binary-cache: use WWW::Curl
Using WWW::Curl rather than running an external curl process for every
NAR info file halves the time it takes to get info thanks to libcurl's
support for persistent HTTP connections. (We save a roundtrip per
file.) But the real gain will come from using parallel and/or
pipelined requests.

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.

nix-push: create a manifest-less binary cache
Manifests are a huge pain, since users need to run nix-pull directly
or indirectly to obtain them. They tend to be large and lag behind
the available binaries; also, the downloaded manifests in
/nix/var/nix/manifest need to be in sync with the Nixpkgs sources. So
we want to get rid of them.
The idea of manifest-free operation works as follows. Nix is
configured with a set of URIs of binary caches, e.g.
http://nixos.org/binary-cache
Whenever Nix needs a store path X, it checks each binary cache for the
existence of a file <CACHE-URI>/<SHA-256 hash of X>.narinfo, e.g.
http://nixos.org/binary-cache/bi1gh9...ia17.narinfo
The .narinfo file contains the necessary information about the store
path that was formerly kept in the manifest, i.e., (relative) URI of
the compressed NAR, references, size, hash, etc. For example:
StorePath: /nix/store/xqp4l88cr9bxv01jinkz861mnc9p7qfi-neon-0.29.6
URL: 1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd.nar.bz2
CompressedHash: sha256:1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd
CompressedSize: 202542
NarHash: sha256:1af26536781e6134ab84201b33408759fc59b36cc5530f57c0663f67b588e15f
NarSize: 700440
References: 043zrsanirjh8nbc5vqpjn93hhrf107f-bash-4.2-p24 cj7a81wsm1ijwwpkks3725661h3263p5-glibc-2.13 ...
Deriver: 4idz1bgi58h3pazxr3akrw4fsr6zrf3r-neon-0.29.6.drv
System: x86_64-linux
Nix then knows that it needs to download
http://nixos.org/binary-cache/1bjxbg52l32wj8ww47sw9f4qz0r8n5vs71l93lcbgk2506v3cpfd.nar.bz2
to substitute the store path.
Note that the store directory is omitted from the References and
Deriver fields to save space, and that the URL can be relative to the
binary cache prefix.
This patch just makes nix-push create binary caches in this format.
The next step is to make a substituter that supports them.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Jun 25 15:45:16 2012 -0400
When using chroots, use a private PID namespace
In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from
the rest of the system. The initial child gets PID 1. Processes in
the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot. This improves
isolation between builds. However, processes on the outside can see
processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have
appropriate rights).
Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in
the chroot. This might turn out to be a problem. In that case we'll
need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().

Use a private UTS namespace to provide a deterministic host/domain name to builders
In chroot builds, set the host name to "localhost" and the domain name
to "(none)" (the latter being the kernel's default). This improves
determinism a bit further.
P.S. I have to idea what UTS stands for.

In chroot builds, use a private SysV IPC namespace
This improves isolation a bit further, and it's just one extra flag in
the unshare() call.
P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in
a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since
having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Sat Jun 23 00:28:35 2012 -0400
In chroot builds, use a private network namespace
On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace,
meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from
the rest of the system. We use this to completely remove network
access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback
interface. This means that:
- Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes
on the same machine, except processes within the same build.
- Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot
build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat".
- If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as
part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other.
This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.

Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd
Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket
is first accessed. This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS
environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then
use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one
ourselves.

days.

Generate binary tarballs for installing Nix
For several platforms we don't currently have "native" Nix packages
(e.g. Mac OS X and FreeBSD). This provides the next best thing: a
tarball containing the closure of Nix, plus a simple script
"nix-finish-install" that initialises the Nix database, registers the
paths in the closure as valid, and runs "nix-env -i /path/to/nix" to
initialise the user profile.
The tarball must be unpacked in the root directory. It creates
/nix/store/... and /usr/bin/nix-finish-install. Typical installation
is as follows:
$ cd /
$ tar xvf /path/to/nix-1.1pre1234_abcdef-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2
$ nix-finish-install
(if necessary add ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh to the shell
login scripts)
After this, /usr/bin/nix-finish-install can be deleted, if desired.
The downside to the binary tarball is that it's pretty big (~55 MiB
for x86_64-linux).

this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy
fallback.

Remove unnecessary "system" argument

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Sat Apr 14 18:38:52 2012 +0200
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).

Update "nix-build --help"
commit 5144abe5b6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Mar 27 11:40:47 2012 +0200
Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"
Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all
dependencies to be built. For instance, if we want to do "--run-env"
on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build
environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built. So
we can do:
$ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball'
This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball"
regular expression. The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number
of times.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>
Date: Mon Mar 26 20:43:33 2012 +0200
Make the garbage collector more concurrent
Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths
outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock. This
should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked,
since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in
the GC.
To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and
renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock. This
ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly)
valid or locked path.

Date: Mon Mar 19 04:14:21 2012 +0100
Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation
This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given
derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from
the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise
the environment further.
The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way
to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree.
Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the
derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of
$PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup.
Example session:
$ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm
(the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...)
$ tar xf $src
$ ./configure
$ make
$ emacs
(... hack source ...)
$ make
$ ./xterm

Replace "make check" with "make installcheck"

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Feb 18 01:23:52 2012 +0100
Fix chroots builds
Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to
the chroot. This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set,
because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files. So
temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the
chroot.
Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very
reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we
run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’. So
maybe we should only make directories immutable.

Date: Wed Feb 15 01:31:56 2012 +0100
On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by
creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this
by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr
+i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error
if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage
collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in
optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an
immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable
bit before creating the link.

* Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a
rather unhelpful error message:
Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm
This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes
various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter
expects.

Date: Tue Jan 17 23:07:22 2012 +0000
* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced
by the shell, e.g.
$ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))"
$ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp
$ source $stdenv/setup
This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build
a package outside of its builder for development purposes.
TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the
dependencies of the derivation as well.

commit b79b85ad76
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 4 11:56:15 2012 +0000
* 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.
commit 83647f4ef1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 4 11:04:19 2012 +0000
* 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.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 22 15:55:53 2011 +0000
* In the garbage collector, delete invalid paths before deleting
unreachable paths. This matters when using --max-freed etc.:
unreachable paths could become reachable again, so it's nicer to
keep them if there is "real" garbage to be deleted. Also, don't use
readDirectory() but read the Nix store and delete invalid paths in
parallel. This reduces GC latency on very large Nix stores.

Date: Wed Dec 21 19:11:58 2011 +0000
* Security: make sure the lock files used by build-remote.pl are not
readable to other users. Otherwise, any user can open the lock file
for reading and lock it, thus DoSing the remote build mechanism.

Date: Wed Dec 21 18:59:25 2011 +0000
* Use a lock to ensure that only one build-remote instance can copy a

where multiple instances try to copy the same missing store path to
the target machine, which is very wasteful.

* Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.
* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it

/var/run/current-system).

* Buffer reads in FdSource. Together with write buffering, this
significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store
-qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number
of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from
44266 to 20666).

Date: Wed Nov 23 15:13:37 2011 +0000
* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of
‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it
uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure
and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many
dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)

value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.

* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't

Author: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
Date: Wed Sep 14 05:59:17 2011 +0000
First attempt at the output-as-derivation semantics
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is
the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific
to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all
of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as
each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs)
as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the
outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).

Date: Sat Aug 6 19:45:43 2011 +0000
* Cache the result of file evaluation (i.e, memoize evalFile()). This
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple
times. For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS
causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times.
Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint
reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with
GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).

commit 1ecc97b6bd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Aug 6 16:05:24 2011 +0000
* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.
import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>
are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like
import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"
The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
e.g.,
$ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...
If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
lazily thrown.

commit b2027f70d9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 20 18:10:47 2011 +0000
* Fix a huuuuge security hole in the Nix daemon. It didn't check that
derivations added to the store by clients have "correct" output
paths (meaning that the output paths are computed by hashing the
derivation according to a certain algorithm). This means that a
malicious user could craft a special .drv file to build *any*
desired path in the store with any desired contents (so long as the
path doesn't already exist). Then the attacker just needs to wait
for a victim to come along and install the compromised path.
For instance, if Alice (the attacker) knows that the latest Firefox
derivation in Nixpkgs produces the path
/nix/store/1a5nyfd4ajxbyy97r1fslhgrv70gj8a7-firefox-5.0.1
then (provided this path doesn't already exist) she can craft a .drv
file that creates that path (i.e., has it as one of its outputs),
add it to the store using "nix-store --add", and build it with
"nix-store -r". So the fake .drv could write a Trojan to the
Firefox path. Then, if user Bob (the victim) comes along and does
$ nix-env -i firefox
$ firefox
he executes the Trojan injected by Alice.
The fix is to have the Nix daemon verify that derivation outputs are
correct (in addValidPath()). This required some refactoring to move
the hash computation code to libstore.

commit d329c3ea9d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 18 23:31:03 2011 +0000
* Support multiple outputs. A derivation can declare multiple outputs
by setting the ‘outputs’ attribute. For example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "aterm-2.5";
src = ...;
outputs = [ "out" "tools" "dev" ];
configureFlags = "--bindir=$(tools)/bin --includedir=$(dev)/include";
}
This derivation creates three outputs, named like this:
/nix/store/gcnqgllbh01p3d448q8q6pzn2nc2gpyl-aterm-2.5
/nix/store/gjf1sgirwfnrlr0bdxyrwzpw2r304j02-aterm-2.5-tools
/nix/store/hp6108bqfgxvza25nnxfs7kj88xi2vdx-aterm-2.5-dev
That is, the symbolic name of the output is suffixed to the store
path (except for the ‘out’ output). Each path is passed to the
builder through the corresponding environment variable, e.g.,
${tools}.
The main reason for multiple outputs is to allow parts of a package
to be distributed and garbage-collected separately. For instance,
most packages depend on Glibc for its libraries, but don't need its
header files. If these are separated into different store paths,
then a package that depends on the Glibc libraries only causes the
libraries and not the headers to be downloaded.
The main problem with multiple outputs is that if one output exists
while the others have been garbage-collected (or never downloaded in
the first place), and we want to rebuild the other outputs, then
this isn't possible because we can't clobber a valid output (it
might be in active use). This currently gives an error message
like:
error: derivation `/nix/store/1s9zw4c8qydpjyrayxamx2z7zzp5pcgh-aterm-2.5.drv' is blocked by its output paths
There are two solutions: 1) Do the build in a chroot. Then we don't
need to overwrite the existing path. 2) Use hash rewriting (see the
ASE-2005 paper). Scary but it should work.
This is not finished yet. There is not yet an easy way to refer to
non-default outputs in Nix expressions. Also, mutually recursive
outputs aren't detected yet and cause the garbage collector to
crash.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 6 10:58:17 2011 +0000
* In the ‘?’ operator, allow attribute paths. For instance, you can
write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
containing an attribute ‘b’. This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
a && attrs.a ? b’.
Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set. In that case it just
returns false. So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.

packages. This was very slow and subject to assertion failures. So
do the check much later. Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.

Date: Mon Apr 11 13:16:54 2011 +0000
* Read manifests directly into the database, rather than first reading
them into memory. This brings memory use down to (more or less)
O(1). For instance, on my test case, the maximum resident size of
download-using-manifests while filling the DB went from 142 MiB to
11 MiB.

commit 5591fcc529
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Apr 10 23:22:46 2011 +0000
* Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests
substituter, especially if manifests are very large. For instance,
one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using
binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s. It also significantly
reduces memory use.
The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite. It's
updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from
/nix/var/nix/manifests. It might be interesting to have nix-pull
store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as
separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface
to delete manifests from the DB.

course).

commit 0b305c534f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Oct 24 00:41:29 2010 +0000
* Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so
that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

nix manual: fix 'install' -> 'uninstall' in garbage collection section of introduction
commit 7119d38287
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 4 22:26:38 2010 +0000
* In the referrers test, lower the nesting depth from 2500 to 1000 to
prevent hitting a stack overflow bug in the garbage collector.
commit 705868a8a9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 4 17:55:38 2010 +0000
* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on
OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then
the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct
stat", or vice versa.
This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.
* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
of the loop before.

`nix-store --verify' improvements:

path, which is slower.

* Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting

(which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering
those queries until it accepts a build. So if there are N
derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 12 13:34:34 2010 +0000
* Don't link against pthreads. This was added way back in r211
because Berkeley DB needed it on some platforms, but we don't use
BDB anymore.
On FreeBSD, if you link against pthreads, then the main thread gets
a 2 MB stack which cannot be overriden (it ignores "ulimit -s"):
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org/msg62445.html
This is not enough for Nix. For instance, the garbage collector can
fail if there is a pathologically deep chain of references
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/556199). 2 MB is also not enough for
many Nix expressions.
Arguably the garbage collector shouldn't use recursion, because in
NixOS unprivileged users can DOS the garbage collector by creating a
sufficiently deeply nested chain of references. But getting rid of
recursion is a bit harder.

* Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
commit. Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
-A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:
42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
every 1000 pages
8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
every 8192 pages
1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync
The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs. Because WAL doesn't
work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
option to false.

commit 7f893b7a43
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 4 12:13:58 2010 +0000
* Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
"preferLocalBuild" to true. This has a few use cases:
- The user environment builder. Since it just creates a bunch of
symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
remotely. In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
is extremely wasteful.
- `fetchurl'. Performing the download on a remote machine and then
copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
CPU cycles on the local machine.

tests/build-hook.hook.sh: prefer more portable `...` syntax over $(...) for running sub-shells
The /bin/sh interpreter on Solaris doesn't understand $(...) syntax for running

the script either needs to be run by /bin/bash -- which is non-standard --, or
it needs to use the ancient but portable `...` syntax.

Date: Wed Jun 23 14:34:08 2010 +0000
Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.
The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.

* Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make
check' now succeeds :-)
* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
foo.port = 23; }' now parses. It was previously rejected, but I'm
too lazy to implement the check. (The only reason to reject it is
that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
rejected, which is kind of ugly.)

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Apr 14 08:37:08 2010 +0000
* Change the semantics of "with" so that inner "withs" take
precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural. There
doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
old behaviour.

* Make `derivation' lazy again for performance. It also turns out
that there are some places in Nixpkgs (php_configurable /
composableDerivation, it seems) that call `derivation' with
incorrect arguments (namely, the `name' attribute missing) but get
away with it because of laziness.

commit cad8726b2c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Mar 26 13:27:26 2010 +0000
* Implemented the `==' and `!=' operators. These now use a deep
equality test, so they also work for (finite) attribute sets and
lists.

commit 25eedf085d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 25 14:51:04 2010 +0000
* Quick and dirty implementation of `with'. `with e1; e2' is
basically desugared to `let <with> = e1; e2', and `lookupVar' looks
in each <with> in the environment chain for an attribute with the
specified name.

commit 8a10360c91
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 25 12:19:41 2010 +0000
* Simplify @-patterns: only `{attrs}@name' or `name@{attrs}' are now
allowed. So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no
longer legal. This is no big loss because they were not useful
anyway.
This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
slightly.

Date: Tue Feb 16 00:10:39 2010 +0000
* Since Hydra now escapes `+', `=' and `?' to %NN in URIs,
nix-prefetch-url should unescape them, because `%' is not a valid
character in store path names.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 21:38:41 2010 +0000
* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
command is already monitoring the real build.
commit f859a8d3c3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 21:22:57 2010 +0000
* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the
`max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a
long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the
Hydra build farm.

Date: Wed Feb 3 20:35:37 2010 +0000
* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the other
machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build
farm more robust to failures.
commit f56a039775
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 3 20:12:18 2010 +0000

fixed in Visual Studio.

Date: Tue Feb 2 15:29:18 2010 +0000
* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't
support deleting the current directory.
commit 4bbbe25802
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 2 15:28:36 2010 +0000
* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisory
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics
sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin
1.5 anymore.
commit 2723d9b56e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 2 11:57:49 2010 +0000

commit 07ffdc2862
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 29 12:22:58 2010 +0000
* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
same thing as writeFile.
commit ad529fb89f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 29 11:53:58 2010 +0000
* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes
(especially on ext4).
commit fdcaf37361
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 17:18:44 2010 +0000
* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n +
m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the
closure).
commit 50e34891f0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 16:14:45 2010 +0000
* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because
it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case,
compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
commit 5388944e8d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 25 16:04:32 2010 +0000
* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
commit f0c0277970
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jan 12 12:22:38 2010 +0000
* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is
set to "ignore".
commit ef92a14bfe
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 17 14:12:44 2009 +0000
* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type
$ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds

Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
(This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
to fail.)

Date: Tue Nov 24 09:53:18 2009 +0000
* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collector

Date: Mon Nov 23 18:16:25 2009 +0000
* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
paths.
commit ae6bf87273
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 23 17:23:12 2009 +0000
* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.:
/nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
commit c364d5d1e3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 23 16:34:24 2009 +0000
* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in
the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths
almost immediately.

Date: Mon Nov 23 12:48:54 2009 +0000

commit 8824d60fe5
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Nov 20 17:12:38 2009 +0000
* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

Date: Fri Nov 13 10:08:31 2009 +0000
* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests
directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull,
resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan
Pedro Bolívar Puente.

configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file size support
Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e.

Date: Thu Sep 17 15:48:17 2009 +0000
* build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than
giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then
the second machine and so on. This should improve utilisation of
the Hydra build farm a lot. Also take an optional speed factor
into account to cause fast machines to be preferred over slower
machines with a similar load.

specially.
commit 0dbd4638e0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Sep 15 13:01:46 2009 +0000
* Two primops: builtins.intersectAttrs and builtins.functionArgs.
intersectAttrs returns the (right-biased) intersection between two
attribute sets, e.g. every attribute from the second set that also
exists in the first. functionArgs returns the set of attributes
expected by a function.
The main goal of these is to allow the elimination of most of
all-packages.nix. Most package instantiations in all-packages.nix
have this form:
foo = import ./foo.nix {
inherit a b c;
};
With intersectAttrs and functionArgs, this can be written as:
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { };
where
callPackage = f: args:
f ((builtins.intersectAttrs (builtins.functionArgs f) pkgs) // args);
I.e., foo.nix is called with all attributes from "pkgs" that it
actually needs (e.g., pkgs.a, pkgs.b and pkgs.c). (callPackage can
do any other generic package-level stuff we might want, such as
applying makeOverridable.) Of course, the automatically supplied
arguments can be overriden if needed, e.g.
foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) {
c = c_version_2;
};
but for the vast majority of packages, this won't be needed.
The advantages are to reduce the amount of typing needed to add a
dependency (from three sites to two), and to reduce the number of
trivial commits to all-packages.nix. For the former, there have
been two previous attempts:
- Use "args: with args;" in the package's function definition.
This however obscures the actual expected arguments of a
function, which is very bad.
- Use "{ arg1, arg2, ... }:" in the package's function definition
(i.e. use the ellipis "..." to allow arbitrary additional
arguments), and then call the function with all of "pkgs" as an
argument. But this inhibits error detection if you call it with
an misspelled (or obsolete) argument.

Date: Tue Jun 30 15:53:39 2009 +0000
* Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This is
useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be
a proper integer now) and even meta.license (if there are multiple
licenses).

Date: Tue Jun 30 13:28:29 2009 +0000
* Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).
NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and
generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages
should be self-contained.

commit 14bc3ce3d6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Jun 13 16:30:58 2009 +0000
* Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some
programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template
Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008
fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
patched because it's closed source.
This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
warnings.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jun 10 11:30:34 2009 +0000
* nix-build: if nix-instantiate or nix-store fails due to a signal
(e.g. out of memory or a segfault), print an error message.
Otherwise the user doesn't see anything.

commit a64bbe049e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri May 15 13:46:13 2009 +0000
* Change the scoping of "inherit (e) ..." in recs so that the
attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'. This is useful in
expressions such as
rec {
lib = import ./lib;
inherit (lib) concatStrings;
}
It does change the semantics of expressions such as
let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y
This now returns 2 instead of 1. However, no code in Nixpkgs or
NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.
commit d407d572fd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri May 15 12:35:23 2009 +0000
* Some syntactic sugar for attribute sets: allow {x.y.z = ...;} as a
shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}. This is especially useful
for NixOS configuration files, e.g.
{
services = {
sshd = {
enable = true;
port = 2022;
};
};
}
can now be written as
{
services.sshd.enable = true;
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
However, it is currently not permitted to write
{
services.sshd = {enable = true;};
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'.

Date: Thu May 14 14:29:45 2009 +0000

pattern variables right away.
commit 50d11b90ca
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 12 11:06:24 2009 +0000
* Allow unsafe (unspecified) comparisons between attrsets unless
NIX_NO_UNSAFE_EQ is set, for now.
commit c34e6d71bc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon May 11 15:50:14 2009 +0000
* Disallow equality tests between attribute sets. This was always
broken, but now the evaluator checks for it to prevent Nix
expressions from relying on undefined behaviour. Equality tests are
implemented using a shallow pointer equality test between ATerms.
However, because attribute sets are lazy and contain position
information, this can give false positives. For instance,
previously
let y = {x = 1;}; in y == y
evaluated to true, while the equivalent expression
{x = 1;} == {x = 1;}
evaluated to false. So disallow these tests for now. (Eventually
we may want to implement deep equality tests for attribute sets,
like lib.eqStrict.)
* Idem: disallow comparisons between functions.
* Implemented deep comparisons of lists. This had the same problem as
attribute sets - the elements in the list weren't evaluated. For
instance,
["xy"] == [("x" + "y")]
evaluated to false. Now it works properly.

commit cacff1be88
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 23 01:05:54 2009 +0000
* No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. Instead
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main
select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again).
This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both
trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't
block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it
prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately,
where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's
waiting for a lock held by the first.
The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't
provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only
solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking
fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require
pthreads.

Date: Wed Mar 18 17:36:42 2009 +0000
* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That
is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by
adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.

* Handle base-16 hashes in manifests.
commit 041717eda3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 19 23:46:37 2009 +0000
* download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
path.
When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the
*uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use
that instead for checking the integrity of the download.

Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution
commit 824b154ce8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 16 09:24:20 2009 +0000
* Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs. Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes. With
--keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
Nixpkgs). Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
build it again until the lock is released.
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
manner for failed top-level derivation goals. So if there were more
than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
having run out of build users.

commit ac5478eb52
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 11 18:57:10 2008 +0000
* Don't provide the whole Nix store in the chroot, but only the
closure of the inputs. This really enforces that there can't be any
undeclared dependencies on paths in the store. This is done by
creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in
the fake store for all paths in the closure. After the build, the
build output is moved from the fake store to the real store. TODO:
the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for
this to work, but this isn't enforced yet. (I.e. it only works
currently if /tmp is on the same FS as /nix/store.)

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Dec 11 17:00:12 2008 +0000
* Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
children. So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
anymore. Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
automatically when the builder exits.

Date: Thu Dec 4 14:29:41 2008 +0000
* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is
the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
the maximum load on a machine.

Date: Thu Dec 4 13:13:31 2008 +0000
* Don't ignore errors from writing to stderr. That way, when
nix-store -r (or some other operation) is started via ssh, it will
at least have a chance of terminating quickly when the connection is
killed. Right now it just runs to completion, because it never
notices that stderr is no longer connected to anything. Of course
it would be better if sshd would just send a SIGHUP, but it doesn't
(https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396).

list like
root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has
remote builds enabled.

* Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the

commit 64519cfd65
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Dec 3 15:06:30 2008 +0000
* Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce
the same store path:
$ nix-store --add x
/nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x
$ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
/nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x
the latter being the same as the path that a derivation
derivation {
name = "x";
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
outputHash = "...";
...
};
produces.
This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn
calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is
Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

Date: Wed Nov 19 23:26:19 2008 +0000
* Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same
result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes
/nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string.
Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now
finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously
the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't
be copied to the remote machine.)

* Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents

Date: Wed Sep 17 14:52:35 2008 +0000
* GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last
accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently
used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t,
e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to
convert to time_t from the command line.
Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two
months:
$ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 17 10:02:55 2008 +0000
* Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time. This is useful in conjunction
with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
may become live again.
The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
priority queue in collectGarbage().

Date: Tue Sep 2 09:21:38 2008 +0000
* When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string
attributes from the meta attribute. Not doing so caused nix-env to
barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute,
the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be
produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory.
Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings.
meta.function should be passthru.function.

Date: Mon Aug 25 15:49:22 2008 +0000
* Disable chroot builds for fixed-output derivations so that we don't
need /etc in the chroot (in particular, /etc/resolv.conf for
fetchurl). Not having /etc/resolv.conf in the chroot is a good
thing, since we don't want normal derivations to download files.

Fixing an obvious typo in override code. I do not know whether it works correctly after the change, but at least it ca nbe compiled now.
commit ca07f3e370
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 14 16:59:37 2008 +0000
* Another experimental feature: a way to truly override attributes in
a rec. This will be very useful to allow end-user customisation of
all-packages.nix, for instance globally overriding GCC or some other
dependency. The // operator doesn't cut it: you could replace the
"gcc" attribute, but all other attributes would continue to
reference the original value due to the substitution semantics of
rec.
The syntax is a bit hacky but this is to allow backwards
compatibility.
commit 9279174dde
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 14 14:00:44 2008 +0000
* Added an experimental feature suggested by Andres: ellipses ("...")
in attribute set pattern matches. This allows defining a function
that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring
additional attributes. For instance,
{stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
};
defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the
specified attributes but ignores others. The main advantage is that
we can then write in all-packages.nix
aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs;
instead of
aefs = import ../bla/aefs {
inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse;
};
This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update
all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes). It saves as much
typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that
the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what
the body of the "with" uses).

commit efe4b690ae
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 14 10:04:22 2008 +0000
* Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set and
functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST
node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the
arguments. Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and
matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat).
This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily,
such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.

Updates to nix-reduce-build
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies).
Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters.
Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.

commit 339c142009
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 4 16:21:45 2008 +0000
* Use optimistic profile locking for nix-env operations like `-i' and
`-u'. Instead of acquiring an exclusive lock on the profile for the
entire duration of the operation, we just perform the operation
optimistically (without an exclusive lock), and check at the end
whether the profile changed while we were busy (i.e., the symlink
target changed). If so, the operation is restarted. Restarting is
generally cheap, since the build results are still in the Nix store.
Most of the time, only the user environment has to be rebuilt.

commit 15f39aba8c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Jul 12 18:58:24 2008 +0000
* Quick prototype of a substituter that copies paths from other Nix
stores (typically remote Nix stores mounted via e.g. NFS, or the Nix
store on the NixOS installation CD). Example use:
$ sshfs foo@example.org:/ /mnt
$ NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix \
NIX_SUBSTITUTERS=.../copy-from-other-stores.pl \
nix-env -i foo
This will be especially useful for the installation CD since it
doesn't require a manifest for the CD contents.

Date: Thu Apr 10 09:54:23 2008 +0000
* Make really sure that we use bash. The line
NEED_PROG(shell, bash)
actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at
/bin/sh.

* sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.
This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail
when performed in a directory with a very long path name. So chdir
to the socket directory and use a relative path name.

commit 329025253d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 27 13:45:17 2008 +0000
* Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of
/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories. This
increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path
in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.

commit 11d512e7a8
Author: Michael Raskin <7c6f434c@mail.ru>
Date: Wed Feb 27 21:26:47 2008 +0000
Added nix-reduce-build. You point it to some path you want to build and it fetches whatever it can from specified computers via nix-copy-closure. NOTE: You do want to set up RSA keys or ssh-agent or something... You really do want it. It will run separate ssh instances insane number of times.
commit 0a84137c45
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 21 12:01:24 2008 +0000
* checkVarDefs: don't check in closed terms, which don't have
undefined variables by definition. This matters for the
implementation of "with", which does a call to checkVarDefs to see
if the body of the with has no undefined variables. (It can't be
checked at parse time because you don't know which variables are in
the "with" attribute set.) If we check closed terms, then we check
not just the with body but also the substituted terms, which are
typically very large. This is the cause of the poor nix-env
performance on Nixpkgs lately. It didn't happen earlier because
"with" wasn't used very often in the past.
This fix improves nix-env performance roughly 60x on current Nixpkgs.
nix-env -qa is down from 29.3s to 0.5s on my laptop, and nix-env -qa
--out-path is down from 229s to 3.39s. Not bad for a 1-line fix :-)

* component -> package.
commit 6d6c68c0d2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Nov 30 16:48:45 2007 +0000
* Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two
single quotes. Example (from NixOS):
job = ''
start on network-interfaces
start script
rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver
${if videoDriver == "nvidia"
then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver"
else if cfg.driSupport
then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver"
else ""
}
rm -f /var/log/slim.log
end script
'';
This style has two big advantages:
- \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less
escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS.
The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as
""). ${ is also fairly rare.
Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also
considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks
(thanks Martin).
- Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings
can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix
expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from
the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in
generated files (which sometimes even breaks things).
See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
commit 633518628f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Nov 29 16:18:24 2007 +0000
* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)
or
$ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132
* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store. This allows
things like
$ nix-build -A firefox
$ nix-env -i ./result
* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
anything. In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
empty profile.

commit 9397cd30c8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Oct 27 00:46:59 2007 +0000
* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is
executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary
build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories
(/dev and /proc by default). This allows a bit more purity
enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as
/usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible. As an added
benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented
as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in
the chroot).
However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that
many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of
additional directories. (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as
well...)

commit a8629de827
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Oct 9 22:14:27 2007 +0000
* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by
something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script
did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
garbage collection and concurrent builds).

atk-1.12.4
esound-0.2.36
...
to see the packages in the "gnome" attribute in Nixpkgs.
To *print* the attribute path, you should now use "--attr-path" /
"-P" (running out of letters...).

Date: Mon Sep 17 16:08:24 2007 +0000
* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the
Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set
{file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix
expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute
name. Also recurses into directories.
* nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the
~/.nix-defexpr symlink.
* nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink
~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't
override any default Nix expressions but combines with them.
This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use
it as a default for nix-env:
$ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn
and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time.
(If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to
disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)

commit 0d65fc08e2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Aug 30 09:50:44 2007 +0000
* Create the Nix daemon socket in a separate directory
(/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket). This allows access to the Nix daemon
to be restricted by setting the mode/ownership on that directory as
desired, e.g.
$ chmod 770 /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
$ chown root.wheel /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
to allow only users in the wheel group to use Nix.
Setting the ownership on a socket is much trickier, since the socket
must be deleted and recreated every time the daemon is started
(which would require additional Nix configuration file directives to
specify the mode/ownership, and wouldn't support arbitrary ACLs),
some BSD variants appear to ignore permissions on sockets, and it's
not clear whether the umask is respected on every platform when
creating sockets.

* When there are multiple substituters, make sure to release the
lock on the output path after trying each. Otherwise the
pathIsLockedByMe() test gets confused.
commit c970b28ba0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Aug 28 11:36:17 2007 +0000
* Fix a race condition with parallel builds where multiple
fixed-output derivations or substitutions try to build the same
store path at the same time. Locking generally catches this, but
not between multiple goals in the same process. This happened
especially often (actually, only) in the build farm with fetchurl
downloads of the same file being executed on multiple machines and
then copied back to the main machine where they would clobber each
other (NIXBF-13).
Solution: if a goal notices that the output path is already locked,
then go to sleep until another goal finishes (hopefully the one
locking the path) and try again.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Aug 28 09:21:47 2007 +0000
* Test case to show that parallel builds of different fixed-output
derivations that produce the same output path don't work properly
wrt locking. This happens a lot in the build farm when fetchurl
derivations downloading the same file on different platforms are
executed in parallel and then copied back to the main machine.

Date: Wed Aug 22 14:52:22 2007 +0000
* nix-channel: supports users who don't have write permission to the
manifests directory. In that case, we don't do a nix-pull, so the
user gets pure source deployment.
The directory /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/$USER should be
writable. (It's created automatically if
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user is writable, e.g. if it has 1777
permission.)

commit 9e975458b4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 12 00:29:28 2007 +0000
* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
(such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that
it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
(NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
each other.
The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas"
takes a bit longer.
Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).
* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

still in the Nix store.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 1 23:16:38 2007 +0000
* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The
top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
{nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes
attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
commit a9d15d4f43
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 1 20:33:18 2007 +0000
* nix-env -i: instead of breaking package ties by version, break them
by priority and version install. That is, if there are multiple
packages with the same name, then pick the package with the highest
priority, and only use the version if there are multiple packages
with the same priority.
This makes it possible to mark specific versions/variant in Nixpkgs
more or less desirable than others. A typical example would be a
beta version of some package (e.g., "gcc-4.2.0rc1") which should not
be installed even though it is the highest version, except when it
is explicitly selected (e.g., "nix-env -i gcc-4.2.0rc1").
* Idem for nix-env -u, only the semantics are a bit trickier since we
also need to take into account the priority of the currently
installed package (we never upgrade to a lower priority, unless
--always is given).

commit 89c1d2b202
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 23:48:14 2007 +0000
* Package flag "keep" that prevents a package from being removed from
a user environment by an install or upgrade action. This is
particularly useful if you have a version installed that you don't
want to upgrade (e.g., because the newer versions are broken).
Example:
$ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run
(dry run; not doing anything)
upgrading `zapping-0.9.6' to `zapping-0.10cvs6'
$ nix-env --set-flag keep true zapping
$ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run
(dry run; not doing anything)
However, "-e" will still uninstall the package. (Maybe we should
require the keep flag to be explicitly set to false before it can be
uninstalled.)
commit a46db5d013
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 23:28:44 2007 +0000
* Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a
user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping
file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the
symlinks of a package with a lower priority. E.g.,
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils
gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower
priority).
commit 3d05166086
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 27 22:40:59 2007 +0000
* Allow conflicting packages to be kept in a user environment, and
allow switching between them (NIX-80).
Example: two versions of Pan:
$ nix-env -q pan
pan-0.128
pan-0.14.2.91
$ readlink $(which pan)
/nix/store/l38jrbilw269drpjkx7kinhrxj6fjh59-pan-0.14.2.91/bin/pan
At most one of them can be active any given time. Assuming than
0.14.2.91 is active, you can active 0.128 as follows:
$ nix-env --set-flag active false pan-0.14.2.91
$ nix-env --set-flag active true pan-0.128
$ readlink $(which pan)
/nix/store/nziqwnlzy7xl385kglxhg75pfl5i936n-pan-0.128/bin/pan
More flags to follow.

* nix-env -q now has a flag --prebuilt-only (-b<) that causes nix-env

i.e., don’t need to be built from source.

commit 044b6482c1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 27 19:10:45 2007 +0000
* Greatly reduced the amount of stack space used by the Nix expression
evaluator. This was important because the NixOS expressions started
to hit 2 MB default stack size on Linux.
GCC is really dumb about stack space: it just adds up all the local
variables and temporaries of every scope into one huge stack frame.
This is really bad for deeply recursive functions. For instance,
every `throw Error(format("error message"))' causes a format object
of a few hundred bytes to be allocated on the stack. As a result,
every recursive call to evalExpr2() consumed 4680 bytes. By
splitting evalExpr2() and by moving the exception-throwing code out
of the main functions, evalExpr2() now only consumes 40 bytes.
Similar for evalExpr().

commit 024a8ed382
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 21 23:14:53 2007 +0000
* New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on
another machine through ssh. E.g.,
$ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn)
copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'. This is like
`nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more
efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the
target machine.

commit 881feb9698
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Feb 21 17:57:59 2007 +0000
* Flag `--print-invalid' in `nix-store --check-validity' to print out
which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't
barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it). This is
useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be
copied to a remote machine. (Currently we use rsync, but that's
rather inefficient.)

* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store
path. This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the
meta-information of the store path (references, deriver). Will add
a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we
will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a
secure manner.

commit 451dbf687f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 2 01:52:42 2007 +0000
* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation
attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an
operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information
not only on available packages but also on installed packages.
* nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix
expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of
paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has
access to the meta attributes.
* New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of
installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package
policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve
collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade
policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that
is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example:
$ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4

* computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when
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).

Date: Wed Jan 24 13:31:20 2007 +0000
* Nasty: Glibc clears the TMPDIR environment variable in setuid
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.

commit a3e6415ba8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Dec 12 23:05:01 2006 +0000
* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
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.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Dec 12 19:06:02 2006 +0000
* New operation `nix-env --set' which sets a user environment to a
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.

* Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This
matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid

* 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).

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.

commit 3ed9e4ad9b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Dec 3 03:03:36 2006 +0000
* Some hardcore magic to handle asynchronous client disconnects.
The problem is that when we kill the client while the worker is
building, and the builder is not writing anything to stderr, then
the worker never notice that the socket is closed on the other side,
so it just continues indefinitely. The solution is to catch SIGIO,
which is sent when the far side of the socket closes, and simulate
an normal interruption. Of course, SIGIO is also sent every time
the client sends data over the socket, so we only enable the signal
handler when we're not expecting any data...

commit 765bdfe542
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Nov 30 19:54:43 2006 +0000
* When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave
mode. Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
the caller can be completely unprivileged.
This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
store operations.
Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
That would be even more secure.

* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One

create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
operations.

--register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a
certain input. Another victory for Valgrind.

Date: Mon Nov 13 18:18:13 2006 +0000
* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of
pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each
`pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build
directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store
--register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty.
`exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do
something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders
that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS.
`exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because
otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would
be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though
unfortunately possible).

* nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.
commit 6a67556f71
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 19 16:09:24 2006 +0000
* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the
specified set. For instance,
allowedReferences = [];
specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is
useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for
stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It
could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies,
e.g.,
{gcc, dynlib}: derivation {
...
allowedReferences = [dynlib];
}
says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not
`gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for
this, though.

commit d7efd76394
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 16 15:55:34 2006 +0000
* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see
e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The
semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.
Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
formalisation of the meaning of a path). So
"foo " + ./bla
evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
/path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and
is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
`"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be
replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

Date: Tue Sep 19 14:58:35 2006 +0000
* `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously
it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
commit 07cec27848
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Sep 19 14:27:28 2006 +0000
* Cleanups.
commit 9488ae7357
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Sep 19 13:53:35 2006 +0000
* `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the
number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the
size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the
difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the
average size).
$ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
gcc 11
3.3.6 19293318
3.4.4 21425257
...
average 14942970, waste 149429707
coreutils 6
...
average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted
This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space
of the Nix approach.

commit 86cbd93ec1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 14 22:33:53 2006 +0000
* nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
unlikely) race conditions.
commit 5c38c863bd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 14 22:30:33 2006 +0000
* Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector.
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the
garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
chain in ~/.nix-profile...
* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
garbage collector lock...").
* Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary
anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.
commit f00bc4c94c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>

commit 2e210b2387
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 6 14:23:04 2006 +0000
* Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then
runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff.
Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after
this.

commit 7974aae81c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Sep 1 12:07:31 2006 +0000
* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write
builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,
stdenv.mkDerivation {
builder = "
source $stdenv/setup
...
";
...
}
commit de90fdf908
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Sep 1 12:04:06 2006 +0000
* Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution
isn't quite right...)

commit 1fca76870b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 28 13:31:06 2006 +0000
* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is
possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that
describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the
string.

an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to
pass structured information to builders.

* Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'
to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
all-packages.nix).
commit 9638f3f393
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 23 16:20:14 2006 +0000
* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is
needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".

commit 4a053bfdfd
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 23 14:39:11 2006 +0000
* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new
primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For
instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

commit 22ba63df16
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 16 21:59:53 2006 +0000
* More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and
so on.
* Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
commit 18e4ac0fc6
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 16 10:32:30 2006 +0000

commit 3e5b68068b
Author: Martin Bravenboer <martin.bravenboer@logicblox.com>
Date: Tue Aug 15 21:37:48 2006 +0000
On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

commit 5744dd5480
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 25 11:53:22 2006 +0000
* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
e.g.,
$ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver
The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
names is unambiguous and much, much faster.

* When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.
Can't be lazy!
commit f4c5531d92
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 24 16:35:34 2006 +0000
* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g.,
{ foo : [true false]
, bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
}: ...
This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
space from functions.

* Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
commit ebcccbd358
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jul 19 16:49:59 2006 +0000
* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,
such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is
inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other
platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in
/proc/NNN.
The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store
paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that
are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e"
on a running program).

* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the
argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all
derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 9 15:09:18 2006 +0000
* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
"nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to
addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
Some simple memoization fixes this.
commit 6dca5c9099
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Mar 8 16:03:58 2006 +0000
* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
"i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
platforms.
Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular,
due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.

commit 2d54312f87
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Mar 3 14:15:02 2006 +0000
* Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out
that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD).
Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency).

parsed as 4.
For a moment I worried that printHash32 was broken, and that would
have been really, *really* bad ;-)

commit 651ab439cf
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 16 13:19:15 2006 +0000
* A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when
the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we
need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space). Under
normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file
/nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB. When running the garbage
collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB
environment.

* Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that
we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though
not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1
implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.

$ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11
List elements can also be selected:

This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of
course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.

* Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only

Date: Thu Feb 2 16:27:31 2006 +0000
* When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as
intended). This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote
machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote
machine also exits. Without this, the remote Nix process will
continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it
locks up. (Partially fixes NIX-35.)

commit e4d4969ae9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jan 12 15:17:51 2006 +0000
* New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a
useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another
machine.
These commands provide functionality previously possible through
`nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many
situations (though possibly less efficient).
Example:
$ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure
(on another machine:)
$ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure
Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a
user environment. One should do `nix-env -i
/nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that.
Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine
`scratchy' through ssh:
$ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure

commit f96d2dea26
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Dec 23 21:36:44 2005 +0000
* Added a flag `--ignore-liveness' to `nix-store --delete'. It
deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root. However, it
won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would
violate store invariants).
Don't try this at home. It's a useful hack for recovering from
certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures
due to disk corruption).
commit 4b9e7f59ca

Date: Fri Dec 23 21:08:42 2005 +0000
* Revived the old "nix-store --delete" operation that deletes the

commit 8463f27d8c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 12 18:24:42 2005 +0000
* Fix NIX-23: quadratic complexity in maintaining the referers
mapping. The referer table is replaced by a referrer table (note
spelling fix) that stores each referrer separately. That is,
instead of having
referer[P] = {Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, ...}
we store
referer[(P, Q_1)] = ""
referer[(P, Q_2)] = ""
referer[(P, Q_3)] = ""
...
To find the referrers of P, we enumerate over the keys with a value
lexicographically greater than P. This requires the referrer table
to be stored as a B-Tree rather than a hash table.
(The tuples (P, Q) are stored as P + null-byte + Q.)
Old Nix databases are upgraded automatically to the new schema.
commit 18bbcb1214
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Dec 11 19:25:48 2005 +0000

* Don't use FIFOs to make Nix create the output path on behalf of the

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 17 15:33:24 2005 +0000
* Beginning of secure multi-user Nix stores. If Nix is started as
root (or setuid root), then builds will be performed under one of
the users listed in the `build-users' configuration variables. This
is to make it impossible to influence build results externally,
allowing locally built derivations to be shared safely between
users (see ASE-2005 paper).
To do: only one builder should be active per build user.

commit b87b9c0d1f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 6 14:44:54 2005 +0000
* New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installed
versions to available versions, or vice versa.
For example, the following compares installed versions to available
versions:
$ nix-env -qc
autoconf-2.59 = 2.59
automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6
f-spot-0.0.10 - ?
firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7
...
I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix
expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and
F-Spot is missing altogether.
Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed
versions:
$ nix-env -qac
autoconf-2.59 = 2.59
automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4
bash-3.0 - ?
firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4
...
Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed.
If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest
is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion
1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `<
1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'.
If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in
red (using ANSI escape codes).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Sep 21 17:06:06 2005 +0000
* Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file
descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file
descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead.
This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).

commit e1a6fb7870
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 14 14:00:39 2005 +0000
* `dependencyClosure' now allows a search path, e.g.,
dependencyClosure { ... searchPath = [ ../foo ../bar ]; ... }
* Primop `dirOf' to return the directory part of a path (e.g., dirOf
/a/b/c == /a/b).
* Primop `relativise' (according to Webster that's a real word!) that
given paths A and B returns a string representing path B relative
path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".
commit 08c53923db
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Aug 14 12:38:47 2005 +0000
* A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependency
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C
file) in Nix low-level builds automatically.
For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we
find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows:
localIncludes =
dependencyClosure {
scanner = file:
import (findIncludes {
inherit file;
});
startSet = [main];
};
The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting
with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each
file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings
representing relative paths). For instance, when `scanner' is
called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line
#include "../bar/fnord.h"
then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"]. This list of
dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added
to the set of dependencies. The process continues until no more
dependencies are found (hence its a closure).
`dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a
dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start
file, e.g.,
[ /bla/bla/foo.c
"foo.c"
/bla/bar/fnord.h
"../bar/fnord.h"
]
These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles
foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by
foo.c.
The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using
the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more
efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by
building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have
actually changed. The old approach rescanned every time.

* In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments

This feature makes convenience expressions such as
pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do
$ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix
since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a
default value (__thisSystem).

named attributes to be missing from the input set.

* Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. This
makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g.,
`nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).

commit 77557a6f06
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat May 7 21:48:49 2005 +0000
Commit 3000!
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy. The expression
`derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially)
attrs // {
type = "derivation";
outPath = derivation! attrs;
drvPath = derivation! attrs;
}
where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation
instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do). The
advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and
`nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to
instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute. (However,
`nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always
evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes).
Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other,
for example,
webServer = derivation {
...
hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl";
services = [svnService];
};
svnService = derivation {
...
hostName = webServer.hostName;
};
Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).

commit 97c93526da
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 7 16:26:05 2005 +0000
* In the checker, do traversals of the dependency graph explicitly. A
conditional expression in the blacklist can specify when to
continue/stop a traversal. For example, in
<condition>
<within>
<traverse>
<not><hasAttr name='outputHash' value='.+' /></not>
</traverse>
<hasAttr name='outputHash' value='ef1cb003448b4a53517b8f25adb12452' />
</within>
</condition>
we traverse the dependency graph, not following the dependencies of
`fetchurl' derivations (as indicated by the presence of an
`outputHash' attribute - this is a bit ugly). The resulting set of
paths is scanned for a fetch of a file with the given hash, in this
case, the hash of zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz (which has a security bug). The
intent is that a dependency on zlib is not a problem if it is in a
`fetchurl' derivation, since that's build-time only. (Other
build-time uses of zlib *might* be a problem, e.g., static linking.)

commit db322a47ff
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 1 10:33:55 2005 +0000
* Use a weighted use heuristic to disambiguate between multiple
occurances of a component. If the shortest path distance between a
component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution
of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2. This
expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby
uses.
For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in
Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses,
but they are further away), and between the GCC of the final stdenv
and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 28 14:12:06 2005 +0000

commit 6bafeafb88
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 25 15:42:52 2005 +0000
* nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated
by the build farm. See e.g.,
http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/;
the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming
the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with
`nix-install-package').
Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a
pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be
added to the user environment. This makes these packages
independent from Nix expression evolution.
Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the
resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that
installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output
path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for
maintenance.
* Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something
when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.

* When multiple derivations are specified in `nix-store -r', don't

failed).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 18 09:50:20 2005 +0000
* Subtle bug in the builder: if a subgoal that is instantiated
multiple times is also a top-level goal, then the second and later
instantiations would never be created because there would be a
stable pointer to the first one that would keep it alive in the
WeakGoalMap.
* Some tracing code for debugging this kind of problem.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Feb 17 15:57:46 2005 +0000
* `nix-store -q --tree' shows a tree representing the dependency graph
of the given derivation. Useful for getting a quick overview of how
something was built. E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in
your user environment was built, you can do
$ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle))
Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths
under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).

Date: Tue Feb 15 10:49:31 2005 +0000
* And yet another installation source: the ability to copy user
environment elements from one user environment to another, e.g.,
$ nix-env -i --from-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/other-profile aterm
copies the `aterm' component installed in the `other-profile' to the
user's current profile.

Date: Tue Feb 15 09:39:12 2005 +0000
* Fix broken GC test.
commit 8992fce3da
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 14 17:35:10 2005 +0000
* It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a
user environment, e.g.,
$ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv
or
$ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1
This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
entirely. For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
dependencies).
commit e446d342b7
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 14 17:07:43 2005 +0000
* Added an installation source `--from-expression' (or `-E') to
install derivations from a Nix expression specified on the command
line. This is particularly useful for disambiguation if there are
multiple derivations with the same name. For instance, in Nixpkgs,
to install the Firefox wrapper rather than the plain Firefox
component:
$ nix-env -f .../i686-linux.nix -i -E 'x: x.firefoxWrapper'
The Nix expressions should be functions to which the default Nix
expression (in this case, `i686-linux.nix') is passed, hence `x:
...'.
This might also be a nice way to deal with high-level (user-level)
variability, e.g.,
$ nix-env -f ./server.nix -i -E 'x: x {port = 8080; ssl = false;}'

Date: Mon Feb 14 13:07:09 2005 +0000
* Global configuration option `env-keep-derivations' to store pointer

commit 20ce2642fc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 11 16:56:45 2005 +0000
* Refactoring to support different installation sources in nix-env.
* Set the references for the user environment manifest properly.
* Don't copy the manifest (this was accidental).
* Don't store derivation paths in the manifest (maybe this should be
made optional). This cleans up the semantics of nix-env, which were
weird.
* Hash on the output paths of activated components, not on derivation
paths. This is because we don't know the derivation path of already
installed components anymore, and it allows the installation of
components by store path (skipping Nix expressions entirely).
* Query options `--out-path' and `--drv-path' to show the output and
derivation paths of components, respectively (the latter replaces
the `--expr' query).

commit 65b6c8ab4c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 15:05:32 2005 +0000
* Move root finding from `nix-collect-garbage' to `nix-store --gc'.
This was necessary becase root finding must be done after
acquisition of the global GC lock.
This makes `nix-collect-garbage' obsolete; it is now just a wrapper
around `nix-store --gc'.
* Automatically remove stale GC roots (i.e., indirect GC roots that
point to non-existent paths).
commit 630ae0c9d7
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 13:48:46 2005 +0000
* nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users to
get rid of GC roots. Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the
current directory. Previously, removing that symlink would not
remove the store path being linked to as a GC root. Now, the GC
root created by nix-build is actually a symlink in
`/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto' to `result'. So if that symlink is
removed the GC root automatically becomes invalid (since it can no
longer be resolved). The root itself is not automatically removed -
the garbage collector should delete dangling roots.
commit dcc37c236c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Feb 1 12:36:25 2005 +0000
* nix-store, nix-instantiate: added an option `--add-root' to
immediately add the result as a permanent GC root. This is the only
way to prevent a race with the garbage collector. For instance, the
old style
ln -s $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate foo.nix)) \
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/result
has two time windows in which the garbage collector can interfere
(by GC'ing the derivation and the output, respectively). On the
other hand,
nix-store --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result -r \
$(nix-instantiate --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/drv \
foo.nix)
is safe.
* nix-build: use `--add-root' to prevent GC races.

Date: Mon Jan 31 10:27:25 2005 +0000
* Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots

acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
roots.

commit 52bf9b86bb
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jan 25 11:18:03 2005 +0000
* In nix-store: added query `--referers-closure' that returns the
closure of the referers relation rather than the references
relation, i.e., the set of all paths that directly or indirectly
refer to the given path. Note that contrary to the references
closure this set is not fixed; it can change as paths are added to
or removed from the store.

commit 05f0430de1
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jan 20 14:10:19 2005 +0000
* Another change to low-level derivations. The last one this year, I
promise :-) This allows derivations to specify on *what* output
paths of input derivations they are dependent. This helps to
prevent unnecessary downloads. For instance, a build might be
dependent on the `devel' and `lib' outputs of some library
component, but not the `docs' output.

commit e0f4e587c3
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 19 16:59:56 2005 +0000
* Nix-store queries `--references' and `referers' to query the pointer
graph. That is, `nix-store --query --references PATH' shows the set
of paths referenced by PATH, and `nix-store --query --referers PATH'
shows the set of paths referencing PATH.
commit 96de272b48
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 19 16:39:47 2005 +0000
* Renamed `normalise.cc' -> `build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
they have been built/added. This is so that we can check whether
the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
holds.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 19 15:02:02 2005 +0000
* `nix-store --build' now builds its arguments in parallel instead of
sequentially (within the limits set by `--jobs'). This should
greatly improve the utilisation of the build farm when doing Nixpkgs
builds.

commit 863dcff6c5
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 19 11:16:11 2005 +0000
* Started removing closure store expressions, i.e., the explicit
representation of closures as ATerms in the Nix store. Instead, the
file system pointer graph is now stored in the Nix database. This
has many advantages:
- It greatly simplifies the implementation (we can drop the notion
of `successors', and so on).
- It makes registering roots for the garbage collector much easier.
Instead of specifying the closure expression as a root, you can
simply specify the store path that must be retained as a root.
This could not be done previously, since there was no way to find
the closure store expression containing a given store path.
- Better traceability: it is now possible to query what paths are
referenced by a path, and what paths refer to a path.

Date: Mon Jan 17 19:01:48 2005 +0000
* Actually check that the result of fixed-output derivations matches
the specified hash.
commit f3dc231250
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 17 16:55:19 2005 +0000
* Removed the `id' attribute hack.
* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
dependency graph. Previously this was done by specifying the hash
component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
and then produce a completely different output). Now the
responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
Nix itself.
A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
`outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
at the length of the attribute value). MD5 is included for
compatibility but should be considered deprecated.
* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results. It's
no longer necessary.
* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
expressions. Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
`devel', `docs'). Previously there was no way to tell output paths
apart at the store expression level.
* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
be printed in base-32 notation.
* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
`md5'.
* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32. (TODO: a
flag to specify the hash.)
commit d58a11e019
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 14 16:04:03 2005 +0000
* Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits
and letters except e, o, u, and t). This produces store paths like
/nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1. The nice
thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32
characters, as before with MD5.
(Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than
SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to
attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
commit 9530cc3170
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jan 14 13:51:38 2005 +0000
* Start move towards SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5.
* Start cleaning up unique store path generation (they weren't always
unique; in particular the suffix ("-aterm-2.2", "-builder.sh") was
not part of the hash, therefore changes to the suffix would cause
multiple store objects with the same hash).

* Simplify the substitute mechanism:
- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a
command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you
register a substitute you are responsible for registering the
expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage
collector.
- Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.

commit 862f4c154e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 13 13:47:38 2004 +0000
* Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR
archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests.
Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be
used to construct the target path. In particular, patches can be
chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be
omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible). A shortest path
algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded
(the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine
taking the network speed to the various source into account).
Patches are binary deltas between two store paths. To be precise,
they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR
archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store
paths. The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing
file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled
automatically. The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation
of unchanged files (by hard-linking).

Date: Tue Oct 26 22:54:26 2004 +0000
* Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.
Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for
the constructors specified in `constructors.def'. In particular
this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix
expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.

commit ee401afad8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Oct 26 16:59:36 2004 +0000
* Mode `--parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, `-'), and print
out the AST as an ATerm.
* Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the
resulting normal form as an ATerm.
Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.
commit 37d7abd694
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 25 16:54:56 2004 +0000
* New language feature: with expressions.
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
the attribute set E1 substituted. E.g.,
with {x = 123;}; x
evaluates to 123. That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.
This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
definitions. E.g., instead of
let {
inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;
body = ... a ... f ...;
}
we can now say
with import ./foo.nix;
... a ... f ...
I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
commit f4d44a0026
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Oct 25 14:38:23 2004 +0000
* Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write
permission to the Nix store or database. E.g., `nix-env -qa' will
work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access). The
option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only
activated when the database cannot be opened.

commit b357284a32
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Sep 12 19:08:57 2004 +0000
* Fallback didn't work for subderivations of an unnormalised the main
derivation, since NormalisationGoal would first run a
NormalisationGoal on the subderivation (a no-op, since in a
situation where we need fallback the successor is known), and then
runs a RealisationGoal on the normal form, which then cannot do a
fallback because it doesn't know the derivation expression for which
it is a normal form.
Tossed out the 2-phase normalisation/realisation in
NormalisationGoal and SubstitutionGoal since it's no longer needed -
a RealisationGoal will run a NormalisationGoal if necessary.

commit 47f87072ad
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 9 21:12:53 2004 +0000
* A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.
Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env
etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user. So for
instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that
the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so
that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression. Now we just
switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and
the like. The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary,
however. Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in
it is executed as the original user.
* Back out r1385. setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new
real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the
original uid. setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the
manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it
unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).
commit 5396304c73
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 9 15:55:31 2004 +0000
* Use setre[ug]id() instead of setres[ug]id(), since the former is
more common than the latter (which exists only on Linux and
FreeBSD). We don't really care about dropping the saved IDs since
there apparently is no way to quiry them in any case, so it can't
influence the build (unlike the effective IDs which are checked by
Perl for instance).
commit e043fc7d0b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 2004 +0000
* Set the umask to known value (0022). This is important in a
setuid installation, since the calling user may have a more fascist
umask (say, 0077), which would cause the store objects built by Nix
to be unreadable to anyone other than the Nix user.

Date: Mon Aug 30 11:51:36 2004 +0000
* Removed nrWaitees field. It was redundant with waitees.size() and
could get out of sync if multiple input derivations mapped to the
same closure expression (since waitees is a set).
commit eb233e728f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 16:54:08 2004 +0000
* `--min-age' flag in nix-store and nix-collect-garbage to only delete
unreachable paths that haven't been used for N hours. For instance,
`nix-collect-garbage --min-age 168' only deletes paths that haven't
been accessed in the last week.
This is useful for instance in the build farm where many derivations
can be shared between consecutive builds, and we wouldn't want a
garbage collect to throw them all away. We could of course register
them as roots, but then we'd to unregister them at some point, which
would be a pain to manage. The `--min-age' flag gives us a sort of
MRU caching scheme.
BUG: this really shouldn't be in gc.cc since that violates
mechanism/policy separation.
commit fdec72c6cc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 15:39:13 2004 +0000
* `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it
doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted. So
there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete'
(which doesn't even exist anymore).
commit 818047881e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 25 11:43:49 2004 +0000
* Put the garbage collector in nix-store: operation `--gc',
suboperations `--print-live', `--print-dead', and `--delete'. The
roots are not determined by nix-store; they are read from standard
input. This is to make it easy to customise what the roots are.
The collector now no longer fails when store expressions are missing
(which legally happens when using substitutes). It never tries to
fetch paths through substitutes.
TODO: acquire a global lock on the store while garbage collecting.
* Removed `nix-store --delete'.

commit e77fbe0fa2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 20 15:22:33 2004 +0000
* On systems that have the setresuid() and setresgid() system calls to
set the real uid and gid to the effective uid and gid, the Nix
binaries can be installed as owned by the Nix user and group instead
of root, so no root involvement of any kind is necessary.
Linux and FreeBSD have these functions.
commit 2d35116c13
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 20 14:49:05 2004 +0000
* Setuid support for sharing a Nix installation between multiple
users.
If the configure flag `--enable-setuid' is used, the Nix programs
nix-env, nix-store, etc. are installed with the setuid bit turned on
so that they are executed as the user and group specified by
`--with-nix-user=USER' and `--with-nix-group=GROUP', respectively
(with defaults `nix' and `nix').
The setuid programs drop all special privileges if they are executed
by a user who is not a member of the Nix group.
The setuid feature is a quick hack to enable sharing of a Nix
installation between users who trust each other. It is not
generally secure, since any user in the Nix group can modify (by
building an appropriate derivation) any object in the store, and for
instance inject trojans into binaries used by other users.
The setuid programs are owned by root, not the Nix user. This is
because on Unix normal users cannot change the real uid, only the
effective uid. Many programs don't work properly when the real uid
differs from the effective uid. For instance, Perl will turn on
taint mode. However, the setuid programs drop all root privileges
immediately, changing all uids and gids to the Nix user and group.

commit 91dc023665
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jun 28 10:42:57 2004 +0000
* Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual:
Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is
already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on
normalising the derivation.
The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have
registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from,
say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the
realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is
specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, binary
installation falls back on a source installation. This option is
not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient
failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from
source (with the related consumption of resources).

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Jun 25 15:36:09 2004 +0000
* A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as
much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.)
* Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when
a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this
means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang
around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak
pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection.
* Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.

commit 112ee89501
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Jun 20 19:17:54 2004 +0000
* Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser.
* A better substitute mechanism.
Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for
which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression
that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired
store path, which is passed as an argument.
This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files
instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes.
(It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a
performance problem).
* Added a test for the substitute mechanism.
* `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input,
instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running
into the kernel's limit on command line length.

commit a8306cb98f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu May 13 19:14:49 2004 +0000
* The build hooks used to implement distributed builds can now be run
in parallel. Hooks are more efficient: locks on output paths are
only acquired when the hook says that it is willing to accept a
build job. Hooks now work in two phases. First, they should first
tell Nix whether they are willing to accept a job. Nix guarantuees
that no two hooks will ever be in the first phase at the same time
(this simplifies the implementation of hooks, since they don't have
to perform locking (?)). Second, if they accept a job, they are
then responsible for building it (on the remote system), and copying
the result back. These can be run in parallel with other hooks and
locally executed jobs.
The implementation is a bit messy right now, though.
* The directory `distributed' shows a (hacky) example of a hook that
distributes build jobs over a set of machines listed in a
configuration file.

commit c8d3882cdc
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue May 11 18:05:44 2004 +0000
* True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is
useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds
on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is
initiated on one master machine, which then distributes
sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not
happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable
of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the
infrastructure to support this.
TODO: substitutes are currently broken.

* Channels. These allow you to stay current with an evolving set of
Nix expressions.
To subscribe to a channel (needs to be done only once):
nix-channel --add \
http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
This just adds the given URL to ~/.nix-channels (which can also be
edited manually).
To update from all channels:
nix-channel --update
This fetches the latest expressions and pulls cache manifests. The
default Nix expression (~/.nix-defexpr) is made to point to the
conjunction of the expressions downloaded from all channels.
So to update all installed derivations in the current user
environment:
nix-channel --update
nix-env --upgrade '*'
If you are really courageous, you can put this in a cronjob or
something.
You can subscribe to multiple channels. It is not entirely clear
what happens when there are name clashes between derivations from
different channels. From nix-env/main.cc it appears that the one
with the lowest (highest?) hash will be used, which is pretty
meaningless.

* When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic
(and useless) aterm on the screen. Example:
error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix':
while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533:
while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1:
assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13
Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be
misleading. The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of
the problem.

Date: Tue Mar 30 15:05:35 2004 +0000
* The recent change in nixpkgs of calling `stdenv.mkDerivation'
instead of `derivation' triggered a huge slowdown in the Nix
expression evaluator. Total execution time of `nix-env -qa' went up
by a factor of 60 or so.
This scalability problem was caused by expressions such as
(x: y: ... x ...) a b
where `a' is a large term (say, the one in
`all-packages-generic.nix'). Then the first beta-reduction would
produce
(y: ... a ...) b
by substituting `a' for `x'. The second beta-reduction would then
substitute `b' for `y' into the body `... a ...', which is a large
term due to `a', and thus causes a large traversal to be performed
by substitute() in the second reduction. This is however entirely
redundant, since `a' cannot contain free variables (since we never
substitute below a weak head normal form).
The solution is to wrap substituted terms into a `Closed'
constructor, i.e.,
subst(subs, Var(x)) = Closed(e) iff subs[x] = e
have substitution not descent into closed terms,
subst(subs, Closed(x)) = Closed(x)
and otherwise ignore them for evaluation,
eval(Closed(x)) = eval(x).
* Fix a typo that caused incorrect substitutions to be performed in
simple lambdas, e.g., `(x: x: x) a' would reduce to `(x: a)'.

commit ac4d39f9db
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 28 21:15:01 2004 +0000
* Added an operator `?' to test for attribute existence, e.g.,
`attrs ? x' yields true iff `attrs' has an attribute named `x'.
commit f958bcdf1f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 28 20:58:28 2004 +0000
* Added an operator `~' to select paths within a derivation. E.g.,
{stdenv, bash}: derivation {
builder = bash ~ /bin/sh;
args = ["-e" "-x" ./builder.sh];
...
}
Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
`/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.
commit db3e644c1c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 28 20:34:22 2004 +0000
* Added plain lambdas, e.g., `let { id = x: x; const = x: y: x; }'.
`bla:' is now no longer parsed as a URL.
* Re-enabled support for the `args' attribute in derivations to
specify command line arguments to the builder, e.g.,
...
builder = /usr/bin/python;
args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
...
commit f8cd904e05
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sat Mar 27 17:58:04 2004 +0000
* Disallow the Nix store or any of its parents from being symlinks.
This is because the contents of these symlinks are not incorporated
into the hashes of derivations, and could therefore cause a mismatch
between the build system and the target system. E.g., if
`/nix/store' is a symlink to `/data/nix/store', then a builder could
expand this path and store the result. If on the target system
`/nix/store' is not a symlink, or is a symlink that points somewhere
else, we have a dangling pointer.
The trigger for this change is that gcc 3.3.3 does exactly that (it
applies realpath() to some files, such as libraries, which causes
our impurity checker to bail out.)
An annoying side-effect of this change is that it makes it harder to
move the Nix store to a different file system. On Linux, bind
mounts can be used instead of symlink for this purpose (e.g., `mount
-o bind /data/nix/store /nix/store').

commit 777e13b94b
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 22 20:53:49 2004 +0000
* Nix now has three different formats for the log information it
writes to stderr:
- `pretty': the old nested style (default)
- `escapes': uses escape codes to indicate nesting and message
level; can be processed using `log2xml'
- `flat': just plain text, no nesting
These can be set using `--log-type TYPE' or the NIX_LOG_TYPE
environment variable.

commit 3f3c4cce5a
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 18 21:04:14 2004 +0000
* Added an extra escape code to signal "unimportant" messages. If a tree only has
unimportant messages, it is collapsed by the default.
* Also added an optional integer argument to the escape code for opening a nesting
level to indicate lack of importance. If set, the tree is collapsed by default.

* Store paths are now abbreviated in the generated HTML file.
Hovering over the abbreviated path will reveal the full path. This
probably only works in Mozilla.
commit 9d2669d218
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 15 21:51:14 2004 +0000
* Added a utility that can be used to produce nice HTML pages from Nix
build logs. The program `log2xml' converts a Nix build log (read
from standard input) into XML file that can then be converted to
XHTML by the `log2html.xsl' stylesheet. The CSS stylesheet
`logfile.css' is necessary to make it look good.
This is primarily useful if the log file has a *tree structure*,
i.e., that sub-tasks such as the various phases of a build (unpack,
configure, make, etc.) or recursive invocations of Make are
represented as such. While a log file is in principle an
unstructured plain text file, builders can communicate this tree
structure to `log2xml' by using escape sequences:
- "\e[p" starts a new nesting level; the first line following the
escape code is the header;
- "\e[q" ends the current nesting level.
The generic builder in nixpkgs (not yet committed) uses this. It
shouldn't be to hard to patch GNU Make to speak this protocol.
Further improvements to the generated HTML pages are to allow
collapsing/expanding of subtrees, and to abbreviate store paths (but
to show the full path by hovering the mouse over it).

* In `--upgrade': added flags `--lt', `--leq', `--always' to specify

`--uninstall', and `--upgrade', without actually performing the
operation.
commit 06a75a7e0c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Feb 8 14:07:43 2004 +0000
* A command `--switch-generation' to switch to a specific generation
of the current profile, e.g.,
$ nix-env --list-generations
...
39 2004-02-02 17:53:53
40 2004-02-02 17:55:18
41 2004-02-02 17:55:41
42 2004-02-02 17:55:50 (current)
$ nix-env --switch-generation 39
$ ls -l /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
... default -> default-39-link
* Also a command `--rollback' which is just a convenience operation to
rollback to the oldest generation younger than the current one.
Note that generations properly form a tree. E.g., if after
switching to generation 39, we perform an installation action,
a generation 43 is created which is a descendant of 39, not 42. So
a rollback from 43 ought to go back to 39. This is not currently
implemented; generations form a linear sequence.

commit 66e94d3275
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Feb 6 10:30:20 2004 +0000
* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
...
default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
experimental -> experimental-2-link
experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...
* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
$prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
`.id'.

* Extended the `inherit' syntax to optionally select attributes from

I am not so happy about the syntax.

commit 1c9c0a5a46
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Feb 2 21:39:33 2004 +0000
* Added syntactic sugar to the construction of attribute sets to
`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.
E.g.,
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
inherit stdenv libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
is equivalent to
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
stdenv = stdenv;
libfoo = libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
{...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
`rec {x = x}'.

* Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt
Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.
Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except
change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an
interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

commit 16f9b133ec
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 14 11:13:08 2004 +0000
* Improved `nix-push': it now uses HTTP PUT (instead of rsync) to copy
files. Target location is no longer hard-coded; it accepts a number
of URLs on the command line.
* `nix-install-package': compatibility fixes.

commit 7959354379
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Jan 7 15:53:14 2004 +0000
* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that
it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the
Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone. Do
the following:
- optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db.
- run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
$ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1
- optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
$ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db
- remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*

commit 4a373a3e9a
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 5 16:26:43 2004 +0000
* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
query commands. For instance,
$ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix
$ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa]
sylpheed-0.9.7
bison-1.875
pango-1.2.5
subversion-0.35.1
...
$ nix-env -i sylpheed
$ nix-env -u subversion
There can be only one default at a time.
* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
commit f83c5e3e5f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jan 5 11:18:59 2004 +0000
* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
.../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
if it doesn't exist yet. Example use:
$ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
$ nix-env -p my_profile
I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)

commit cf0287c09e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Dec 22 16:04:00 2003 +0000
* Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if
the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not
installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so
nix-env -u foo.nix '*'
will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if
available.
The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most
cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator:
TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0);
TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1);
TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1);
TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1);
TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1);
TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1);
TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1);
TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1);
(-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater)
* A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is
the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful
output, e.g.,
$ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
commit f3c9783846
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Dec 21 23:58:56 2003 +0000
* Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,

The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the
first dash not followed by a letter.

* One-click installation :-)
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which
contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches),
unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the
user's environment.
For best results, associate the command `xterm -e
/nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type
`application/x-nix-package' and visit
http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Nov 5 16:20:57 2003 +0000
* Print a shared textual ATerm if the term if very large. Due to
substitutions, Fix terms are very large when printed as trees (in
memory, they are quite compact due to sharing).

commit 0690c1c9c0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 3 20:30:40 2003 +0000
* Work around problems with the ATerm library.
The ATerm library doesn't search the heap for pointers to ATerms
when garbage collecting. As a result, C++ containers such as
`map<ATerm, ATerm>' will cause pointer to be hidden from the garbage
collector, causing crashes. Instead, we now use ATermTables.
commit ff31324278
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Nov 3 18:21:53 2003 +0000

Date: Fri Oct 31 11:22:56 2003 +0000
* Use SGparseString() instead of SGparseFile() because the latter is
buggy. It fails to clear an internal variable (SG_textIndex)
between invocations, so it can be called only once during a program
execution.

Date: Wed Oct 29 16:05:03 2003 +0000
* Basic grammar and parser for the Fix language. We use libsglr and
friends to do the parsing. The parse table is embedded in the Fix
executable using bin2c, which converts an arbitrary file into a C
character array.

commit 9d95aafe8c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Oct 22 11:04:57 2003 +0000
* Ad hoc per-package logging. When Nix performs a derivation, it now
writes stdout/stderr of the builder to ${prefix}/var/log/nix/x,
where x is the file name of the derivation expression, e.g.,
/nix/var/log/nix/54256391624be04fcb426048ae3ea0a4-d-pan-0.14.2.nix
Note that consecutive builds of the same expression overwrite,
rather than append to, existing log files.

commit 0791282b2f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 16 16:29:57 2003 +0000
* Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This
should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).

commit f7c7aad135
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Oct 16 08:52:44 2003 +0000
* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and do not synchronously flush the
log on commit. This means that there is a small change that some
transactions may be rolled back in case of a system crash, but this
should not be a problem (it merely might cause some expression
realisations to be rolled back), and it vastly improves performance.
* Upgraded to ATerm 2.0.5 (which also includes Armijn's 64-bit
patches).

commit a88144215c
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 22 20:12:44 2003 +0000
* Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built.
* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as
wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we
don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
commit 56b98c3857
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 22 11:29:20 2003 +0000

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 14:11:40 2003 +0000
* Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of
slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
commit 624c48260f
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Wed Aug 20 12:39:56 2003 +0000
* Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as
keys to reference slice elements, e.g.,
Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...])
This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations. Therefore we
now have:
Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...])
* Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice
elements to be duplicated.

commit 31e4aa6439
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Aug 18 16:32:55 2003 +0000
* Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")])
The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the
inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing
spaces).

Date: Mon Aug 18 14:54:54 2003 +0000

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 15 13:01:45 2003 +0000
* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
builder using the `args' binding:
("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])
Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
in the argument list.
commit 555347744d
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Aug 15 12:32:37 2003 +0000

Date: Fri Aug 1 15:41:47 2003 +0000
* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for
recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
the garbage collector.

commit 8846465934
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 29 14:28:17 2003 +0000
* Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*.
Renamed `fstateRefs' to `fstateRequisites'. The semantics of this
function is that it returns a list of all paths necessary to realise
a given expression. For a derive expression, this is the union of
requisites of the inputs; for a slice expression, it is the path of
each element in the slice. Also included are the paths of the
expressions themselves. Optionally, one can also include the
requisites of successor expressions (to recycle intermediate
results).
* `nix-switch' now distinguishes between an expression and its normal
form. Usually, only the normal form is registered as a root of the
garbage collector. With the `--source-root' flag, it will also
register the original expression as a root.
* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--keep-successors' which
causes successors not to be included in the list of garbage paths.
* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--invert' which will print all
paths that should *not* be garbage collected.

commit ce5fd1cc12
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Jul 28 16:07:01 2003 +0000
* Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks
up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another
glibc so loading barfs.
Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in
executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is
harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g.,
`/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the
rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH,
which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but
*before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.

although only lvlError and lvlDebug are actually used right now.

commit e877c69d78
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Jul 22 15:15:15 2003 +0000
* Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are
substituting for (obvious, really).
* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
preventing a path copy.
* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This
is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

Date: Wed Jul 16 21:24:02 2003 +0000
* The write() system call can write less than the requested
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP.
This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes.
Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix
--dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero
exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline.
Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements
in the pipeline? (In other words, is it at all possible to
write reliable shell scripts?)

Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jul 10 18:48:11 2003 +0000
* A command to register successor fstate expressions.
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now,
since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is
known. Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a
substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was
missing.

* Performance enhancement.
commit 1d1c3691d2
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Jul 10 15:11:48 2003 +0000
* The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
`substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.
This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an
improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
(fetching through `wget') built in.
The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.

* Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar).
* queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying
the target path (which may be empty).

Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.

commit 7dd91d3779
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun May 25 22:42:19 2003 +0000
* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by
sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix
descriptor).
`nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by
consulting the paths and URLs specified in
$prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash,
$prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with
Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when
installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking
$location.
`nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no
prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these
to the network through rsync.
`nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the
mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands.
commit 0ef4b6d0f8
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Apr 25 15:33:50 2003 +0000
* Cleaned up the semantics of Fix expressions.
* Conditionals and variables in Fix expressions. This allows, e.g.,
Descr(
[ Bind("pkgId", "subversion-0.21.0")
, Bind("httpsClient", Bool(True))
, Bind("httpServer", Bool(True))
, Bind("ssl", If(Var("httpsClient"), Fix("./openssl-0.9.7b.fix"), ""))
, Bind("httpd", If(Var("httpServer"), Fix("./httpd-2.0.45.fix"), ""))
...
])
which introduces domain feature variables httpsClient and httpServer
(i.e., whether Subversion is built with https client and webdav
server support); the values of the variables influences package
dependencies and the build scripts.
The next step is to allow that packages can express constraints on
each other. E.g., StrategoXT is dependent on an ATerm library with
the "gcc" variant enabled. In fact, this may cause several
Nix instantiations to be created from a single Fix descriptor. If
possible, Fix should try to find the least set of instantiations
that obeys the constraints.

* A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage

nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage)
to actually delete them.

Date: Wed Apr 9 12:46:44 2003 +0000
* When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash.
This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
doing
nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)
which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
referenced by them. We could then garbage collect unused packages
by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
returned by `nix closure ...'.

* We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a

$ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix
...
system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f

commit 0f40a560ca
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 25 16:36:25 2003 +0000
* Added a script nix-activate which builds a list of "activated"
packages (i.e., the packages that should appear in the user's $PATH,
and so on). Based on this list, the script nix-populate creates a
hierarchy of symlinks to the relevant files in those packages (e.g.,
for pkg/bin and pkg/lib).
A nice property of nix-populate is that on each run it creates a
*new* tree, rather than updating the old one. It then atomically
switches over to the new tree. This allows atomic upgrades or
rollbacks on the set of activated packages.
commit 3f1a1457e9
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 25 11:39:51 2003 +0000
* Integrate hash into instantiated descriptor file names.
* Use MD5::Digest.
commit 73c53935d0
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 24 17:49:56 2003 +0000
* For efficiency: md5 integrated into nix.
* Command `nix ensure' which is like `nix getpkg' except that if the
has refers to a run action it will just ensure that the imports are
there.
* Command `nix closure' to print out the closure of the set of
descriptors under the import relation, starting at a set of roots.
This can be used for garbage collection (e.g., given a list of
`activated' packages, we can delete all packages not reachable from
those).
* Command `nix graph' to print out a Dot graph of the dependency
graph.
* `nix-addroot' adds a root for the (unimplemented) garbage collector.

* Typo fix.
commit 2dc84e5569
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 24 12:49:40 2003 +0000
* Descriptors now have a "system" field specifying the platform that
the build or run action should be perfomed on. This ensures that
descriptors have different hashes on different platforms.
commit 9d2f128252
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 24 11:50:20 2003 +0000
* Refactoring.
commit 8d682ba551
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 23 23:28:28 2003 +0000
* A descriptor for running the Pan newsreader.
* Added descriptors for gtkspell and its support package pspell.
Gtkspell is an optional dependency of Pan, so we should add the
ability to nix-instantiate to instantiate variants of a package
based on a selection of features.
commit 20d165c344
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Sun Mar 23 23:24:09 2003 +0000
* A command to run programs in Nix packages, that is, to execute a run
action. Run actions are described by uniquely hashed descriptors,
just like build actions. Therefore run actions can have
dependencies, but these need not be the same as the build time
dependencies (e.g., at runtime we can link against a different
version of a dynamic library). Example:
nix run 31d6bf4c171282367065e0deecd7c579
will run the Pan 0.13.91 newsreader with gtkspell support.

dependencies.
commit cadc3852e4
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Thu Mar 20 22:23:48 2003 +0000
* nix-instantiate now instantiantes the closure of the set of
descriptor templates under the import relation. I.e., we can now
say:
nix-instantiate outdir foo.nix
which will create descriptors for foo.nix and all imported packages
in outdir/.

commit 8999f923ea
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date: Fri Mar 14 16:43:14 2003 +0000
* Improved Nix. Resources (package descriptors and other source
files) are now referenced using their cryptographic hashes.
This ensures that if two package descriptors have the same contents,
then they describe the same package. This property is not as
trivial as it sounds: generally import relations cause this property
not to hold w.r.t. temporality. But since imports also use hashes
to reference other packages, equality follows by induction.

* And a trunk to go along with that.
This is essentially a backport of
<f52b6c944e>
by Eelco Dolstra <eelco.dolstra@logicblox.com>.
The use-after-free bug would typically manifest when building with
GCC 5.1.
Before that, calls to 'HashSink::currentHash()' would eventually lead to
a segfault because the underlying gcrypt handle has been closed. (Note
that this method is only used via 'importPaths' and 'exportPath', though.)
* nix/libutil/gcrypt-hash.hh (struct guix_hash_context): Add a
constructor and a copy constructor; move out of 'extern "C"'.
* nix/libutil/gcrypt-hash.cc (guix_hash_final): Clear 'md_handle' upon
exit.
* nix/sync-with-upstream (top_srcdir): Change hash.{cc,hh} to read
'struct Ctx' instead of 'union Ctx'.
Fixes compilation with the forthcoming libgcrypt 1.6.x.
Reported by Matthias Wachs <wachs@net.in.tum.de>
and NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@fsij.org>.
* nix/libutil/gcrypt-hash.cc (guix_hash_init, guix_hash_final): Use
'int' as the type of the 'algo' parameter.
* nix/libutil/gcrypt-hash.hh: Update declarations accordingly.
* nix/libutil/md5.h (MD5_Final): Pass RESBUF as the first argument to
`guix_hash_final'.
* nix/libutil/sha1.h (SHA1_Final): Likewise.
* nix/libutil/sha256.h (SHA256_Final): Likewise.
