can be done now from the url e.g s3://nix-cache?parallel-compression=1
instead of nix.conf.

This speeds up commands like "nix cat-store". For example:
$ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf

The primary motivation is to allow hydra-server to serve files from S3
binary caches. Previously Hydra had a hack to do "nix-store -r
<path>", but that fetches the entire closure so is prohibitively
expensive.
There is no garbage collection of the NAR cache yet. Also, the entire
NAR is read when accessing a single member file. We could generate the
NAR listing to provide random access.
Note: the NAR cache is indexed by the store path hash, not the content
hash, so NAR caches should not be shared between binary caches, unless
you're sure that all your builds are binary-reproducible.

Fixes #1438.
|
|
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
|
|
This default implementation of buildPaths() does nothing if all
requested paths are already valid, and throws an "unsupported
operation" error otherwise. This fixes a regression introduced by
c30330df6f67c81986dfb124631bc756c8e58c0d in binary cache and legacy
SSH stores.

The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:
class MyClass : private Config
{
Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};
MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
{
std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
}
};
Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

This is necessary for serving log files to browsers.
|
|
We assume that build logs are stored under log/<drv>, e.g.
/nix/store/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv
maps to
https://cache.nixos.org/log/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv

The store parameter "write-nar-listing=1" will cause BinaryCacheStore
to write a file ‘<store-hash>.ls.xz’ for each ‘<store-hash>.narinfo’
added to the binary cache. This file contains an XZ-compressed JSON
file describing the contents of the NAR, excluding the contents of
regular files.
E.g.
{
"version": 1,
"root": {
"type": "directory",
"entries": {
"lib": {
"type": "directory",
"entries": {
"Mcrt1.o": {
"type": "regular",
"size": 1288
},
"Scrt1.o": {
"type": "regular",
"size": 3920
},
}
}
}
...
}
}
(The actual file has no indentation.)
This is intended to speed up the NixOS channels programs index
generator [1], since fetching gazillions of large NARs from
cache.nixos.org is currently a bottleneck for updating the regular
(non-small) channel.

The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a
thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end
up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of
threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of
queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the
result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than
returning a future.
Thus, a command like
nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5
that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main
thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed
CloudFront.)

This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when
copying paths between stores.
Also refactored import/export to make use of this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other stores don't do this either. It's up to the caller to check
signatures.
|
|
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.
This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and
might eliminate some large string copying.
|
|
This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
|
|
This imports signatures from one store into another. E.g.
$ nix copy-sigs -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org/
imported 595 signatures
|
|
|
|
This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores:
NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --verify-path /nix/store/s5c7...
|
|
The public key can be derived from the secret key, so there's no need
for the user to supply it separately.
|
|
This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a
download of a NAR it just uploaded to the cache when reading files
like hydra-build-products.
|
|
This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like
"nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.
|
|
So now you can do
$ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
and lots of other operations.
|
|
|
|
So you can now do:
$ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-store -qR /nix/store/...
