The commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.
Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
With --check and the --keep-failed (-K) flag, the temporary directory
was being retained regardless of whether the build was successful and
reproducible. This removes the temporary directory, as expected, on
a reproducible check build.
Added tests to verify that temporary build directories are not
retained unnecessarily, particularly when using --check with
--keep-failed.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
When encountering an unsupported protocol, there's no need to retry.
Chances are, it won't suddenly be supported between retry attempts;
error instead. Otherwise, you see something like the following:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 335 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 604 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 1340 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 2685 ms
With this change, you now see:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
error: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1)
Sadly 10.15 changed /bin/sh to a shim which executes bash, this means it
can't be used anymore without also opening up the sandbox to allow bash.
Failed to exec /bin/bash as variant for /bin/sh (1: Operation not permitted).
This is used to determine the dependency tree of impure libraries so nix
knows what paths to open in the sandbox. With the less restrictive
defaults it isn't needed anymore.
In
nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux
this reduces time spent in unparse() from 9.15% to 4.31%. The main
culprit was appending characters one at a time to the destination
string. Even though the string has enough capacity, push_back() still
needs to check this on every call.
The ssh client is lazily started by the first worker thread, that
requires a ssh connection. To avoid the ssh client to be killed, when
the worker process is stopped, do not set PR_SET_PDEATHSIG.
Brings the functionality of ssh-ng:// in sync with the legacy ssh://
implementation. Specifying the remote store uri enables various useful
things. eg.
$ nix copy --to ssh-ng://cache?remote-store=file://mnt/cache --all

Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.
Before, we would get:

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
This was tough to debug, I didn't figure out which one was broken until I did:
nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv 2>&1 | grep nix/store | xargs -n1 nix-store -r
and then looking at the remaining build graph:
$ nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
and knowing the initrd build is before the system, then:
$ nix show-derivation /nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv

}
}
I then searched the repo for "in 'exportReferencesGraph'", found this
recently updated regex, and realized it was missing a "-".

I've seen complaints that "sandbox" caused problems under WSL but I'm
having no problems. I think recent changes could have fixed the issue.
This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.
$ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
--substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'
Fixes#3264.
If the `throw` is reached, this means that execvp into `ssh` wasn’t
successful. We can hint at a usual problem, which is a missing `ssh`
executable.
Test with:
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' unusedhost
```
and the bash version with
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' localhost
```
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).
Also, fetchGit now runs in O(1) memory since we pipe the output of
'git archive' directly into unpackTarball() (rather than first reading
it all into memory).
We can now convert Rust Errors to C++ exceptions. At the Rust->C++ FFI
boundary, Result<T, Error> will cause Error to be converted to and
thrown as a C++ exception.
