2020-03-24Fix --refresh with --no-netEelco Dolstra
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/110879699 (cherry picked from commit 5bbe793abf18414878a069399d1759673d693fb6)
2020-03-24nix: Add --refresh as an alias for --tarball-ttl 0Eelco Dolstra

2019-12-10Make the Store API more type-safeEelco Dolstra
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

2019-12-05Move Command and MultiCommand to libutilEelco Dolstra
(cherry picked from commit f70434b1fbbdb0e188718f0c55a8156a7aa08744)
2019-12-05MultiCommand: Simplify constructionEelco Dolstra
(cherry picked from commit 15a16e5c05d547ec07170df2392263e5e891447b)
2019-11-01include netinet/in.h in src/nix/main.ccng0
Fixes #3186
2019-10-21Add experimental-features settingEelco Dolstra
Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix" command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely. Typical usage: $ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello (cherry picked from commit 8e478c234100cf03ea1b777d4bd42a9be7be9e8c, without the "flakes" feature)
2019-06-28Fix macOS build failureEelco Dolstra
Issue #2976.
2019-06-25Automatically use --no-net if there are no network interfacesEelco Dolstra
(cherry picked from commit 04a59769963fe2a28d10ba15de743fe499333c80)
2019-06-25Add "warning" verbosity levelEelco Dolstra
This ensures that "nix" shows warnings. Previously these were hidden because they were at "info" level. (cherry picked from commit 615a9d031d22a6aee64f8511e15685e47b6f8796)
2019-06-15nix: Add -L alias for --print-build-logsEelco Dolstra
2019-05-15nix: Add --print-build-logs flagEelco Dolstra
This causes 'nix' to print build log output to stderr rather than showing the last log line in the progress bar. Log lines are prefixed by the name of the derivation (minus the version string), e.g. binutils> make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/binutils-2.31.1' binutils-wrapper> unpacking sources binutils-wrapper> patching sources ... binutils-wrapper> Using dynamic linker: '/nix/store/kr51dlsj9v5cr4n8700jliyz8v5b2q7q-bootstrap-stage0-glibc/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2' bootstrap-stage2-gcc-wrapper> unpacking sources ... linux-headers> unpacking sources linux-headers> unpacking source archive /nix/store/8javli69jhj3bkql2c35gsj5vl91p382-linux-4.19.16.tar.xz
2018-10-26Merge all nix-* binaries into nixEelco Dolstra
These are all symlinks to 'nix' now, reducing the installed size by about ~1.7 MiB.
2018-08-30nix: Remove the -h flagEelco Dolstra
2018-05-30Modularize config settingsEelco Dolstra
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files etc. are applied. Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the underlying cause of that issue.
2018-02-08Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.Shea Levy
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.
2018-01-31Add 'nix upgrade-nix' commandEelco Dolstra
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a store path obtained from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix which is the same store path that the installer at https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses. The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS, or when installed outside of the Nix store).

2017-10-24nix: Respect -I, --arg, --argstrEelco Dolstra
Also, random cleanup to argument handling.
2017-08-29nix edit / log: Operate on a single InstallableEelco Dolstra
2017-08-29nix run: Flush the progress bar before starting the commandEelco Dolstra
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().

2017-07-14nix: Show help when no arguments are givenEelco Dolstra
Fixes #1464.
2017-06-07Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help"Eelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Add --help-config flagEelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Make all options available as flagsEelco Dolstra
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name> <value>’. So --option http-connections 100 becomes --http-connections 100 Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are fatal. Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g. --option auto-optimise-store false becomes --no-auto-optimise-store
2017-05-16Improve progress indicatorEelco 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.
2017-04-08Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.Will Dietz
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option" or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.
2016-04-25nix: Disable verbose buildsEelco 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.
2016-03-04Add warning about "nix" being experimentalEelco Dolstra
