2017-04-20nix.conf man page: binary-caches -> substitutersEelco Dolstra
2017-04-13Convert Settings to the new config systemEelco Dolstra
This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-03-21Fix tests to reflect the signed-binary-caches default changeEelco Dolstra
2017-03-15Store: Add a method for getting build logsEelco Dolstra
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs from the binary cache. Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for this.

2017-02-28Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use 0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local building.) Fixes #1198.

2016-10-31Support optional sandbox pathsEelco Dolstra
For example, you can now set build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl? to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2 images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.
2016-09-21Add sandbox-dev-shm-size optionEelco Dolstra
Fixes #1069.
2016-09-14Revive binary-caches-parallel-connectionsEelco Dolstra
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads, not just binary cache lookups. Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2 (enabled by default).

Let's step in line with time and document more realistic values.

This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.

2016-04-29BinaryCacheStore: Make the signing key a parameterEelco Dolstra
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.

nix-env: respect meta.outputsToInstall
2016-04-11Remove manifest supportEelco Dolstra
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.

This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.

It's not a limitation of `/usr/bin/env`, it's just how the OS processes shebang lines (see http://stackoverflow.com/a/4304187)
2015-11-25Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25Eelco Dolstra
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>' gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N: N=10: 3.3541 N=20: 2.9320 N=25: 2.6690 N=30: 2.9417 N=50: 3.2021 N=100: 3.5718 N=150: 4.2079 Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB). Closes #708.

2015-11-10rename `chroot` to `sandbox` (fixes #656, close #682)Vladimír Čunát
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases, also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning - update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented), including a new file with release notes - tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs - __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
2015-11-09Add option to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra
Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)

2015-10-07nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".
2015-10-01nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
