Fix tests
2017-10-03More elegant test outputDan Peebles
I got sick of trying to find the failures in the sea of debug output, so we now: - Hide test output unless it fails - Sprinkle in some simple color - Pad results for a more tabular look If Nix is getting a more friendly user interface, we might as well get a friendlier developer interface, right? :)
2017-10-02Fix testsDan Peebles
`nix copy` no longer accepts a `--recursive` argument
2017-10-02Reverse retry logic to retry in all but a few casesDan Peebles
It was getting too much like whac-a-mole listing all the retriable error conditions, so we now retry by default and list the cases where retrying is almost certainly hopeless.
2017-10-02install-darwin-multi-user: relax assumption checkAnthony Cowley
The installer will error out if a user's shell configuration includes any mention of ~nix-profile~, even if this is in a comment. This change is designed to do the bare minimum to ignore lines beginning with a `#`.

2017-09-25Add "nix show-derivation"Eelco Dolstra
This debug command prints a store derivation in JSON format. For example: $ nix show-derivation nixpkgs.hello { "/nix/store/ayjwpwwiyy04nh9z71rsdgd3q7bra7ch-hello-2.10.drv": { "outputs": { "out": { "path": "/nix/store/w5w4v29ql0qwqhczkdxs94ix2lh7ibgs-hello-2.10" } }, "inputSrcs": [ "/nix/store/9krlzvny65gdc8s7kpb6lkx8cd02c25b-default-builder.sh" ], "inputDrvs": { "/nix/store/13839aqdf6x4k3b785rw5f2l7857l6y3-bash-4.4-p12.drv": [ "out" ], "/nix/store/vgdx7fdc7d4iirmnwj2py1nrvr5qwzj7-hello-2.10.tar.gz.drv": [ "out" ], "/nix/store/x3kkd0vsqfflbvwf1055l9mr39bg0ms0-stdenv.drv": [ "out" ] }, "platform": "x86_64-linux", "builder": "/nix/store/qp5fw57d38bd1n07ss4zxh88zg67c3vg-bash-4.4-p12/bin/bash", "args": [ "-e", "/nix/store/9krlzvny65gdc8s7kpb6lkx8cd02c25b-default-builder.sh" ], "env": { "buildInputs": "", "builder": "/nix/store/qp5fw57d38bd1n07ss4zxh88zg67c3vg-bash-4.4-p12/bin/bash", "configureFlags": "", "doCheck": "1", "name": "hello-2.10", "nativeBuildInputs": "", "out": "/nix/store/w5w4v29ql0qwqhczkdxs94ix2lh7ibgs-hello-2.10", "propagatedBuildInputs": "", "propagatedNativeBuildInputs": "", "src": "/nix/store/3x7dwzq014bblazs7kq20p9hyzz0qh8g-hello-2.10.tar.gz", "stdenv": "/nix/store/6zngq1rdh0ans9qyckqimqibgnlvlfrm-stdenv", "system": "x86_64-linux" } } } This removes the need for pp-aterm.

2017-09-21Improve error message for conflicting prioritiesMatthieu Coudron
I find the error message 'nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER PKGNAME' not as helpful as it could be : - doesn't share the current priorities - doesn't say that the command must be run on the already installed PKGNAME (which is confusing the first time) - the doc needs careful reading: "If there are multiple derivations matching a name in args that have the same name (e.g., gcc-3.3.6 and gcc-4.1.1), then the derivation with the highest priority is used." if one stops reading there, he is screwed. Salvation comes with reading "A derivation can define a priority by declaring the meta.priority attribute. This attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower priority. The default priority is 0." To sum it up, lower number wins. I tried to convey this idea in the message too.

2017-09-14Remove Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.10Eelco Dolstra
These have a GCC (4.9) that is too old. https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1391740
2017-09-14RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the poolEelco Dolstra
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is restarted. It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.
2017-09-14Show the pid of temporary rootsEelco Dolstra
2017-09-14nix-store -q --roots / --gc --print-roots: Print temporary / in-memory rootsEelco Dolstra
For example, $ nix-store -q --roots /nix/store/7phd2sav7068nivgvmj2vpm3v47fd27l-patchelf-0.8pre845_0315148 {temp:1} denotes that the path is only being kept alive by a temporary root (i.e. /nix/var/nix/temproots/). Similarly, $ nix-store --gc --print-roots ... {memory:9} -> /nix/store/094gpjn9f15ip17wzxhma4r51nvsj17p-curl-7.53.1 shows that curl is being used by some process.

2017-09-11docker: update to Nix 1.11.14Peter Simons
- Use the latest Nix version 1.11.14. - Attempts to download the Nix installation tarball from http://nixos.org redirect to https these days, which wget doesn't support unless OpenSSL is available. - Use addgroup and adduser commands to create the Nix build users. - Link the Nix profile script into /etc/profile.d, where it's run automatically. - Dropped installation of bash and tar. Neither tool is essential for running Nix. Use the command "docker build -t nix . && docker run -it --rm nix sh -" to build and run the Nix docker container.
2017-09-10Add command "nix why-depends"Eelco Dolstra
This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure: $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1: lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev: nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d… Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.

I don't remember what the reasoning was here, but security is provided by the signatures, not by whether the hash is provided by the other store.

2017-09-08ThreadPool: Improve exception handlingEelco Dolstra
In particular, process() won't return as long as there are active items. This prevents work item lambdas from referring to stack frames that no longer exist.

Since we may use a dedicated file descriptor in the future, this allows us to change it. So builders can do if [[ -n $NIX_LOG_FD ]]; then echo "@nix { message... }" >&$NIX_LOG_FD fi

2017-09-06Fix abort when the GC thread gets an exceptionEelco Dolstra
2017-09-05Add automatic garbage collectionEelco Dolstra
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>" specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete garbage until "max-free" bytes are available. Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution. Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage -d").
2017-09-05GC: Don't delete own temproots fileEelco Dolstra
Since file locks are per-process rather than per-file-descriptor, the garbage collector would always acquire a lock on its own temproots file and conclude that it's stale.
