2014-05-21nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the InternetEelco Dolstra
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you have: log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base name of the store path>. So you can do things like: $ nix-store -l $(which xterm) and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Fixes #68. Fixes #117.
2014-02-18Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.

2014-02-08Add the nix-store --serve commandShea Levy
This is essentially the substituter API operating on the local store, which will be used by the ssh substituter. It runs in a loop rather than just taking one command so that in the future nix will be able to keep one connection open for multiple instances of the substituter.

2013-03-07Prevent config.h from being clobberedEelco Dolstra
2013-02-26Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't ownEelco Dolstra
It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do ln /etc/shadow $out/foo Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo, causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but writable by nobody). That's obviously Very Bad. Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because /nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid cross-device link". It also fails if hard-link restrictions are enabled, so a workaround is: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build user. This means that innocuous operations like "ln ${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed in chroot builds anyway.

2013-01-17Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>Eelco Dolstra
...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation. Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences. For instance, ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551: Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.
2012-12-20nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settingsEelco Dolstra
So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store -q --roots’ now shows that root.
2012-11-26Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thingEelco Dolstra
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-20nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flagEelco Dolstra
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

2012-10-03When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual pageEelco Dolstra
I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-02Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputsEelco Dolstra
With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt, it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by rebuilding the derivation. The latter may use hash rewriting if chroots are not available.

2012-10-02nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all ↵Eelco Dolstra
missing/corrupt paths Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after verifying/repairing.
2012-10-02Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’Eelco Dolstra
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc.

2012-08-24Include the output name in the GC root linkEelco Dolstra
Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.

2012-07-23optimiseStore(): Use a content-addressed file store in /nix/store/.linksEelco Dolstra
optimiseStore() now creates persistent, content-addressed hard links in /nix/store/.links. For instance, if it encounters a file P with hash H, it will create a hard link P' = /nix/store/.link/<H> to P if P' doesn't already exist; if P' exist, then P is replaced by a hard link to P'. This is better than the previous in-memory map, because it had the tendency to unnecessarily replace hard links with a hard link to whatever happened to be the first file with a given hash it encountered. It also allows on-the-fly, incremental optimisation.
