This way the links are clearly within the manual (ie not absolute paths),
while allowing snippets to reference the documentation root reliably,
regardless of at which base url they're included.
macOS doesn't have user namespacing, so the gid of the builder needs
to be nixbld. The logic got "has sandboxing enabled" confused with
"has user namespaces".
Fixes#7529.
This basically reverts 6e5165b773.
It fixes errors like
sandbox-exec: <internal init prelude>:292:47: unable to open sandbox-minimal.sb: not found
when trying to run a development Nix installed in a user's home
directory.
Also, we're trying to minimize the number of installed files
to make it possible to deploy Nix as a single statically-linked
binary.
Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning
an output for runtime references.
__structuredAttrs = true;
outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;
This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.
Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.
Previously addTempRoot() acquired the LocalStore state lock and waited
for the garbage collector to reply. If the garbage collector is in the
same process (as it the case with auto-GC), this would deadlock as
soon as the garbage collector thread needs the LocalStore state lock.
So now addTempRoot() uses separate Syncs for the state that it
needs. As long at the auto-GC thread doesn't call addTempRoot() (which
it shouldn't), it shouldn't deadlock.
Fixes#3224.
This also moves the file handle into its own Sync object so we're not
holding the _state while acquiring the file lock. There was no real
deadlock risk here since locking a newly created file cannot block,
but it's still a bit nicer.
This has the same goal as b13fd4c58e81b2b2b0d72caa5ce80de861622610,but
achieves it in a different way in order to not break
`nix why-depends --derivation`.
In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.
However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way
that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop
nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.
Without this, the error is lost, and it makes for a hard to debug
situation. Also remove some of the busyness inside the sqlite_open_v2
args.
The errcode returned is not the extended one. The only way to make open
return an extended code, would be to add SQLITE_OPEN_EXRESCODE to the
flags. In the future it might be worth making this change,
which would also simplify the existing SQLiteError code.
They did not include the detailed error message, losing essential
information for troubleshooting.
Example message:
warning: creating statement 'insert or rplace into NARs(cache, hashPart, namePart, url, compression, fileHash, fileSize, narHash, narSize, refs, deriver, sigs, ca, timestamp, present) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1)': at offset 10: SQL logic error, near "rplace": syntax error (in '/tmp/nix-shell.grQ6f7/nix-test/tests/binary-cache/test-home/.cache/nix/binary-cache-v6.sqlite')
It's not the best example; more important information will be in
the message for e.g. a constraint violation.
I don't see why this specific error is printed as a warning, but
that's for another commit.
Unsetting `build-users-group` (without `auto-allocate-uids` enabled)
gives the following error:
```
src/libstore/lock.cc:25: static std::unique_ptr<nix::UserLock> nix::SimpleUserLock::acquire(): Assertion `settings.buildUsersGroup != ""' failed.
```
Fix the logic in `useBuildUsers` and document the default value
for `build-users-group`.
Fix#6209
When trying to run `nix log <installable>`, try first to resolve the derivation pointed to
by `<installable>` as it is the resolved one that holds the build log.
This has a couple of shortcomings:
1. It’s expensive as it requires re-reading the derivation
2. It’s brittle because if the derivation doesn’t exist anymore or can’t
be resolved (which is the case if any one of its build inputs is missing),
then we can’t access the log anymore
However, I don’t think we can do better (at least not right now).
The alternatives I see are:
1. Copy the build log for the un-resolved derivation. But that means a
lot of duplication
2. Store the results of the resolving in the db. Which might be the best
long-term solution, but leads to a whole new class of potential
issues.
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:
- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.
If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.
We need to close the GC server socket before shutting down the active
GC client connections, otherwise a client may (re)connect and get
ECONNRESET. But also handle ECONNRESET for resilience.
Fixes random failures like
GC socket disconnected

sending GC root '/tmp/nix-shell.y07M0H/nix-test/default/store/kb5yzija0f1x5xkqkgclrdzldxj6nnc6-non-blocking'
reading GC root from client: error: unexpected EOF reading a line
1 store paths deleted, 0.00 MiB freed
error: reading from file: Connection reset by peer
in gc-non-blocking.sh.
We shouldn't skip this if the supplementary group list is empty,
because then the sandbox won't drop the supplementary groups of the
parent (like "root").
The new experimental feature 'cgroups' enables the use of cgroups for
all builds. This allows better containment and enables setting
resource limits and getting some build stats.
It occurred when a output of the dependency was already available,
so it didn't need rebuilding and didn't get added to the
inputDrvOutputs.
This process-related info wasn't suitable for the purpose of finding
the actual input paths for the builder. It is better to do this in
absolute terms by querying the store.
This change is needed to support aws-sdk-cpp 1.10 and newer.
I opted not to make this dependent on the sdk version because
the crt dependency has been in the interface of the older
sdk as well, and it was only coincidence that libstore didn't
make use of any privately defined symbols directly.
When calling `builtins.readFile` on a store path, the references of that
path are currently added to the resulting string's context.
This change makes those references the *possible* context of the string,
but filters them to keep only the references whose hash actually appears
in the string, similarly to what is done for determining the runtime
references of a path.
Cgroups are now only used for derivations that require the uid-range
range feature. This allows auto UID allocation even on systems that
don't have cgroups (like macOS).
Also, make things work on modern systems that use cgroups v2 (where
there is a single hierarchy and no "systemd" controller).
Call it as `['nix', '__build-remote', ... ]` rather than the previous
`["__build-remote", "nix __build-remote", ... ]` which seemed to have
been most likely unintended
Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via
SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the
`ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line
operation always overrides those.
In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo`
and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's
`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent
forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly.
This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but
we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least
surprising for users.
