2017-07-06Fix nix-instantiate manpage indentationRobert Vollmert
The second command variant is now its own cmdsynopsis, which ensures it's not indented as was the case using sbrk.
2017-07-04Add allow-new-privileges optionEelco Dolstra
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally, any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this ability for certain tests. Example: $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines: cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set : Operation not permitted $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines: PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=15.2 ms Fixes #1429.

2017-05-10Replace readline by linenoiseEelco Dolstra
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

2017-05-03doc: fix the description of --xml and --jsonregnat
Those options seem to only apply with --eval and not with --parse.
2017-05-01Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOADEelco Dolstra
This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment variables predate nix.conf. The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote). The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.

This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for newcomers to Nix. This change clarifies the example to one that can be copied in its entirety.

This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-12Move note about float support out of the wrong release notesBenjamin Staffin
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

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.
2017-02-27Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit message for de4cdd0d47adc70a4db12397a42c18ee50b4e662 also got this wrong.)
