Eelco Dolstra b006a31d52 Drop the externals directory
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.

Eelco Dolstra bd50c01972 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.

Not sure why compilation doesn't fail on other platforms...

This is useful for debugging.

Eelco Dolstra 8afd28a922 Remove dependency on sqlite3_table_column_metadata
Not all SQLite builds have the function sqlite3_table_column_metadata.
We were only using it in a schema upgrade check for compatibility with
databases that were probably never seen in the wild.  So remove it.

Eelco Dolstra 1c94524458 Fix an uninitialised variable
The variable ‘useChroot’ was not initialised properly.  This caused
random failures if using the build hook.  Seen on Mac OS X 10.7 with Clang.
Thanks to KolibriFX for finding this :-)

Eelco Dolstra 6fe13e6aba 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.

Eelco Dolstra bd013b6f98 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.

Eelco Dolstra 5e57047d87 Fix a broken guard around utime()
Because of an outdated check for a timestamp of 0, we were calling
utime() even when it wasn't necessary.

Eelco Dolstra e9fc91df45 Fix error message
This fixes the error message

  error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

Eelco Dolstra d5a5a83ad4 Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate 2012-02-09 18:27:45 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra f491ae97d4 * Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through
EvalState::eval().  This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate
  /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).

Eelco Dolstra 2bda12ef3b * Print elapsed evaluation time. 2012-02-04 13:27:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra baa0501cc1 * Fix importing a derivation. This gave a segfault. 2012-01-26 13:13:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 330df4b4db * Allow comparisons between derivations by comparing the outPath
attributes.
2012-01-19 23:08:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18047d4625 * Add some debug output to print the derivation name once it's known.
This makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a crash.
2012-01-19 23:07:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e624849b6 * 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.

Eelco Dolstra 9fe24c5a0d * Don't create thunks for simple constants (integers, strings, paths)
and allocate them only once.
* Move Value and related functions into value.hh.

Eelco Dolstra b52966e821 * Remove dead code. 2012-01-04 21:47:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 35f2a6ba82 * Don't use dynamic_cast, it's very slow. "nix-instantiate
/etc/nixos/nixos -A system" spent about 10% of its time in
  dynamic_cast.

Eelco Dolstra 71f3c46cf6 * Drop the inefficient "Path" suffix in output attribute names. 2012-01-03 15:27:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 921111d197 * Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separate
file.

Eelco Dolstra 6c31232e14 * Sync with the trunk. 2012-01-03 12:59:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 48cea0d01e * Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some
other simplifications.
* Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs.  This allows them to be
  overriden through $NIX_PATH.
* Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need
  to create a temporary file.
2012-01-03 00:16:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93b56acb2d * Support multiple outputs in nix-store (specifically the ‘--query’
and ‘--realise’ actions).
2011-12-30 17:25:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a71d02440b * Oops. 2011-12-30 17:13:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f5e3326ce * Move topoSortPaths() out of gc.cc. 2011-12-30 15:02:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1004f40f7 * Reject a build if there is a cycle among the outputs. This is
necessary because existing code assumes that the references graph is
  acyclic.
2011-12-30 14:47:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 254b3399ba * Sync with the trunk. 2011-12-30 13:08:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c42a8c8ff * Make sure that lock files are cleaned up properly when building
through the build hook.
2011-12-25 16:38:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 524fa8a4f1 * Oops. 2011-12-22 16:27:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b33da599c5 * 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.
2011-12-22 15:55:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58d974336c * Drop unnecessary call to canonPath() (nixStore is already canonical). 2011-12-22 14:33:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2aac7cd021 * Another case of lock file permissions being too liberal. 2011-12-21 19:17:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5679041132 * The ‘foo.drvPath’ feature was already broken in read-only mode.
Since it's rarely used and fixing it is too much work right now,
  just document it.

Shea Levy f3c88f297d Detect and reject mutually-referential outputs
There is probably a more efficient way to do this.

Eelco Dolstra 273b288a7e * 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.
2011-12-16 22:31:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d3dfa2c17 * Avoid expensive conversions from char arrays to STL strings. 2011-12-16 21:29:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0bd307802 * 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.
2011-12-16 19:44:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 78598d06f0 * Clean up exception handling. 2011-12-16 15:45:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a1b9ed0aa * 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).
2011-12-15 16:19:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e0656cbb * 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).
