2017-08-29nix run: Allow passing a command to executeEelco Dolstra
E.g. nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is necessary. "-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.
2017-08-29nix run: Fix chroot executionEelco Dolstra
Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g. $ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads. So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix __run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().
2017-08-29Hide commands that don't have a descriptionEelco Dolstra
These are assumed to be internal.
2017-08-29readLink(): Handle symlinks in /procEelco Dolstra
Symlinks like /proc/self/exe report a stat() size of 0, so use a buffer of at least PATH_MAX instead.
2017-08-28Give activities a verbosity level againEelco Dolstra
And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v flags.
2017-08-28Don't send progress messages to older clientsEelco Dolstra
2017-08-28Tunnel progress messages from the daemon to the clientEelco Dolstra
This makes the progress bar work for non-root users.

2017-08-28Make TunnelLogger thread-safeEelco Dolstra
Now that we use threads in lots of places, it's possible for TunnelLogger::log() to be called asynchronously from other threads than the main loop. So we need to ensure that STDERR_NEXT messages don't clobber other messages.

2017-08-25Allow derivations to update the build phaseEelco Dolstra
So the progress bar can show [1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
2017-08-25Allow activities to be nestedEelco Dolstra
In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X") to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").

2017-08-25Restore activity metadataEelco Dolstra
This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".

2017-08-21Allow builders to create activitiesEelco Dolstra
Actually, currently they can only create download activities. Thus, downloads by builtins.fetchurl show up in the progress bar.

Remove unused decodeOctalEscaped
2017-08-18Remove unused decodeOctalEscapedAndy Wingo
Besides being unused, this function has a bug that it will incorrectly decode the path component Ubuntu\04016.04.2\040LTS\040amd64 as "Ubuntu.04.2 LTS amd64" instead of "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64".

They're the same thing after all. Example: $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'

2017-08-15Add builtins.string function.Nicolas B. Pierron
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression. ```nix with builtins; assert split "(a)b" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ]; assert split "([ac])" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ]; assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ]; assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" " FOO " == [ " " [ "FOO" ] " " ]; ```
