3392d32e8b * In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it
doesn't exist.  The Debian packages don't include the manifests
  directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull,
  resulting in everything being built from source.  Thanks to Juan
  Pedro Bolívar Puente.

86408b3f47 * build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than
giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then
  the second machine and so on.  This should improve utilisation of
  the Hydra build farm a lot.  Also take an optional speed factor
  into account to cause fast machines to be preferred over slower
  machines with a similar load.

57e0d73c77 * build-remote.pl: allow the system type to be a comma-separated list
of system types.  Don't treat the x86_64-linux system type
  specially.

f24cf5d303 * nix-build: if nix-instantiate or nix-store fails due to a signal
(e.g. out of memory or a segfault), print an error message.
  Otherwise the user doesn't see anything.

Eelco Dolstra
737423a89c * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it
  accepts the build).
* build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than
  the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first*
  machine of the appropriate type.

47706e3924 * nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,
which is much faster.

3a2bbe7f8a * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file

Eelco Dolstra
2897286487 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation.  That
  is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built,
  and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds
  might fail, for example).  This is ensured at instantiation time by
  adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.

Eelco Dolstra
041717eda3 * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
  path.

  When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
  does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
  from the server.  Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
  bzipped NAR archive.  However, the server does know the hash of the
  *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
  in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla).  So we use
  that instead for checking the integrity of the download.

1bb0f1e84b * Build hook: compress the transferred data. 2009-02-03 10:34:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-02-02 17:24:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
019176137f * When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the
  builder failed).  This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it
  makes sense to retry a build).

Eelco Dolstra
bcfe98acff * Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This
makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store
  invocation will lead to at least one local build.  Will come up with
  a better solution later...
2008-12-04 16:35:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
909fbb9de1 * When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone",
  otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there
  are no running children").  So inform the build hook when this is
  the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed
  the maximum load on a machine.

5dfba0b4db * Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remote
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04 13:36:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9fd9c4c635 * Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machine
list like

    root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1
    root@example.org i686-darwin  /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1

  This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has
  remote builds enabled.

f8713e1287 * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of
  the call to the NAR derivation.  Otherwise the derivation (and all
  its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even
  succeed.

Eelco Dolstra
aab530e971 * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a
dependency.  `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same
  result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes
  /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string.

  Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now
  finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds.  (Previously
  the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't
  be copied to the remote machine.)

b455c4c45c Updates to nix-reduce-build
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies).

Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters. 

Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.

Eelco Dolstra
3c92ea399d * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again.  (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
  didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
  paths.)  This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
  are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
  stdin/stdout.

096198d11f * A quick hack to make nix-prefetch-url support mirror:// URLs. It

Eelco Dolstra
989176c56e * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix

2008-07-18 15:34:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8bc591a6f0 * Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good
  name...) is set.
* Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES.  E.g. you could
  set it to /mnts/*/nix or something.
* Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
2008-07-18 13:05:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
15f39aba8c * Quick prototype of a substituter that copies paths from other Nix
stores (typically remote Nix stores mounted via e.g. NFS, or the Nix
  store on the NixOS installation CD).  Example use:

  $ sshfs foo@example.org:/ /mnt
  $ NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix \
    NIX_SUBSTITUTERS=.../copy-from-other-stores.pl \
    nix-env -i foo

  This will be especially useful for the installation CD since it
  doesn't require a manifest for the CD contents.

11d512e7a8 Added nix-reduce-build. You point it to some path you want to build and it fetches whatever it can from specified computers via nix-copy-closure.

a8629de827 * New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
  to each other.  It typically reduces the size of the store by
  something like 25-35%.  This is what the optimise-store.pl script
  did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
  garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-10-09 22:14:27 +00:00

26f981c2e5 * Remove garbage. 2007-09-18 08:26:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
055608227f * nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the
Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set
  {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix
  expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute
  name.  Also recurses into directories.

* nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the
  ~/.nix-defexpr symlink.

* nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink
  ~/.nix-defexpr/channels.  So finally nix-channel --update doesn't
  override any default Nix expressions but combines with them.

  This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use
  it as a default for nix-env:

  $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn

  and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time.
  (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to
  disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)

Eelco Dolstra
7d5836b34d * nix-channel: supports users who don't have write permission to the
manifests directory.  In that case, we don't do a nix-pull, so the
  user gets pure source deployment.

  The directory /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/$USER should be
  writable.  (It's created automatically if
  /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user is writable, e.g. if it has 1777
  permission.)

ffa1c61cd5 * Fix the tests. 2007-08-14 13:15:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

Eelco Dolstra
c5e934dcc9 * nix-pull: using nix-prefetch-url (so that we get caching for free),
and store the manifests in the Nix store.  (So now
  /nix/var/nix/manifests/ just contains symlinks to the store and is
  searched for GC roots.)
2007-08-09 23:52:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f881f7a017 * nix-prefetch-url: support caching. If the environment variable
NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is set, then nix-prefetch-url will store the hash
  and timestamp of downloaded files in the directory
  $NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE.  This allows it to figure out if the file is
  still in the Nix store.
2007-08-09 23:16:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9bff7ad728 * Check against creation of GC roots in the store. Those roots don't
work, because findRoots() stops when it encounters a symlink to the

93aefd9fc0 * Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable).  The
  top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
  attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
  {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}).  This makes
  attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
  e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
