builtins.fetchgit: Support importing a working tree
For example, you can write

  src = fetchgit ./.;

and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".

TeeSink: Pre-reserve string space
When receiving a very large file, this can prevent the string from
having tobe copied, which temporarily doubles memory consumption.

1042c10fd0 Add NAR / Store accessor abstraction
This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like
"nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.

9ccbd55c5b BinaryCacheStore: Implement addToStore()
So now you can do

  $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello

and lots of other operations.

276a40b31f Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems
When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.

The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.

Closes #119.

a0e3b84fac * Revert r15436. This was a workaround for a bug in btrfs which seems
to have been fixed now.

098cb9d233 Add an ftruncate call paired with fallocate to play safe with some FSes (namely, BtrFS fallocate sets file size to allocated size, i.e. multiple of block size) 2009-05-04 08:10:24 +00:00

77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.

a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.

selectively in/excluded from the dump.

40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
