2014-09-05tests/remote-builds.nix: Time out fasterEelco Dolstra
2014-09-05Fix build-remote.plEelco Dolstra
Apparently, turning on utf8 encoding on stderr changes its flushing behaviour, causing sendReply to not send anything. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/13944384

2014-08-29Shut up "Wide character" warnings in Perl scriptsEelco Dolstra
2014-08-28Add disallowedReferences / disallowedRequisitesEelco Dolstra
For the "stdenv accidentally referring to bootstrap-tools", it seems easier to specify the path that we don't want to depend on, e.g. disallowedRequisites = [ bootstrapTools ];
2014-08-28allowedRequisites: Drop stdenv mentionEelco Dolstra
I don't think it's a good idea to use allowedRequisites for stdenv, so don't mention it here.

2014-08-21fix disappearing bash argumentsJoel Taylor
2014-08-21Fix testsEelco Dolstra
So all these years I was totally deluded about the meaning of "set -e". You might think that it causes statements like "false && true" or "! true" to fail, but it doesn't...
2014-08-21Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure child cleanupEelco Dolstra
2014-08-21Set a curl timeout on binary cache lookupsEelco Dolstra
2014-08-21Use unshare() instead of clone()Eelco Dolstra
It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the build farm: The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this (in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that. Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up private namespaces. See also https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg03434.html.
2014-08-21Fix a segfault in ‘nix-env -qa’Eelco Dolstra
This was triggered by 47e185847e729d49e6aa376e8299fd66ef834a0a, which turned globals.state into a pointer.

2014-08-20Reduce test verbosityEelco Dolstra
2014-08-20Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderrEelco Dolstra
The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole) ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit of the latter, filter them out.
