Directly register the store classes rather than a function to build an
instance of them.
This gives the possibility to introspect static members of the class or
choose different ways of instantiating them.
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a
store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful.
I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
This assumption is broken by CA derivations. Making a PR now to do the
breaking daemon change as soon as possible (if it is already too late,
we can bump protocol intead).
to each Store implementation. The generic regStore implementation will
only be for the ambiguous shorthands, like "" and "auto".
This also could get us close to simplifying the daemon command.
Generalize `queryDerivationOutputNames` and `queryDerivationOutputs` by
adding a `queryDerivationOutputMap` that returns the map
`outputName=>outputPath`
(not that this is not equivalent to merging the results of
`queryDerivationOutputs` and `queryDerivationOutputNames` as sets don't
preserve the order, so we would end up with an incorrect mapping).
squash! Add a way to get all the outputs of a derivation with their label
Rename StorePathMap to OutputPathMap
I’m not 100% sure this is wanted since it kind of makes everything
have to know about ca even if they don’t really want to. But it also
make things easier in dealing with looking up ca.
On nix-env -qa -f '<nixpkgs>', this reduces maximum RSS by 20970 KiB
and runtime by 0.8%. This is mostly because we're not parsing the hash
part as a hash anymore (just validating that it consists of base-32
characters).
Also, replace storePathToHash() by StorePath::hashPart().
Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
Substituters can substitute from one store dir to another with a
little bit of help. The store api just needs to have a CA so it can
recompute the store path based on the new store dir. We can only do
this for fixed output derivations with no references, though.
This function was used in only one place, where it could easily be
replaced by readDerivation() since it's not
performance-critical. (This function appears to have been modelled
after queryDerivationOutputs(), which exists only to make the garbage
collector faster.)
The idea is it's always more flexible to consumer a `Source` than a
plain string, and it might even reduce memory consumption.
I also looked at `addToStoreFromDump` with its `// FIXME: remove?`, but
the worked needed for that is far more up for interpretation, so I
punted for now.
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).
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.
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).
This adds a command 'nix make-content-addressable' that rewrites the
specified store paths into content-addressable paths. The advantage of
such paths is that 1) they can be imported without signatures; 2) they
can enable deduplication in cases where derivation changes do not
cause output changes (apart from store path hashes).
For example,
$ nix make-content-addressable -r nixpkgs.cowsay
rewrote '/nix/store/g1g31ah55xdia1jdqabv1imf6mcw0nb1-glibc-2.25-49' to '/nix/store/48jfj7bg78a8n4f2nhg269rgw1936vj4-glibc-2.25-49'
...
rewrote '/nix/store/qbi6rzpk0bxjw8lw6azn2mc7ynnn455q-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16' to '/nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16'
We can then copy the resulting closure to another store without
signatures:
$ nix copy --trusted-public-keys '' ---to ~/my-nix /nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16
In order to support self-references in content-addressable paths,
these paths are hashed "modulo" self-references, meaning that
self-references are zeroed out during hashing. Somewhat annoyingly,
this means that the NAR hash stored in the Nix database is no longer
necessarily equal to the output of "nix hash-path"; for
content-addressable paths, you need to pass the --modulo flag:
$ nix path-info --json /nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16 | jq -r .[].narHash
sha256:0ri611gdilz2c9rsibqhsipbfs9vwcqvs811a52i2bnkhv7w9mgw

Scanning of /proc/<pid>/{exe,cwd} was broken because '{memory:' was
prepended twice. Also, get rid of the whole '{memory:...}' thing
because it's unnecessary, we can just list the file in /proc directly.
This new structure makes more sense as there may be many sources rooting
the same store path. Many profiles can reference the same path but this
is even more true with /proc/<pid>/maps where distinct pids can and
often do map the same store path.
This implementation is also more efficient as the `Roots` map contains
only one entry per rooted store path.
copyStorePath() now pipes the output of srcStore->narFromPath()
directly into dstStore->addToStore(). The sink used by the former is
converted into a source usable by the latter using
boost::coroutine2. This is based on [1].
This reduces the maximum resident size of
$ nix build --store ~/my-nix/ /nix/store/b0zlxla7dmy1iwc3g459rjznx59797xy-binutils-2.28.1 --substituters file:///tmp/binary-cache-xz/ --no-require-sigs
from 418592 KiB to 53416 KiB. (The previous commit also reduced the
runtime from ~4.2s to ~3.4s, not sure why.) A further improvement will
be to download files into a Sink.

Issue #1969.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
This is needed by nixos-install, which uses the Nix store on the
installation CD as a substituter. We don't want to disable signature
checking entirely because substitutes from cache.nixos.org should
still be checked. So now we can pas "local?trusted=1" to mark only the
Nix store in /nix as not requiring signatures.
Fixes#1819.
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.
It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
It now means "paths that were built locally". It no longer includes
paths that were added locally. For those we don't need info.ultimate,
since we have the content-addressability assertion (info.ca).
Opening an SSHStore or LegacySSHStore does not actually establish a
connection, so the try/catch block here did nothing. Added a
Store::connect() method to test whether a connection can be
established.
For backwards compatibility, if the URI is just a hostname, ssh://
(i.e. LegacySSHStore) is prepended automatically.
Also, all fields except the URI are now optional. For example, this is
a valid nix.machines file:
local?root=/tmp/nix
This is useful for testing the remote build machinery since you don't
have to mess around with ssh.
This default implementation of buildPaths() does nothing if all
requested paths are already valid, and throws an "unsupported
operation" error otherwise. This fixes a regression introduced by
c30330df6f in binary cache and legacy
SSH stores.
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:
class MyClass : private Config
{
Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};
MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
{
std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
}
};
Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.
This provides a significant speedup, e.g. 64 s -> 12 s for
nix-build --dry-run -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-16.03 '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test
on a cold local and CloudFront cache.
The alternative is to use lots of concurrent daemon connections but
that seems wasteful.
This is useless because the client also caches path info, and can
cause problems for long-running clients like hydra-queue-runner
(i.e. it may return cached info about paths that have been
garbage-collected).
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to
get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs
from the binary cache.
Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for
this.
... and use this in Downloader::downloadCached(). This fixes
$ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.09-small/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello
error: cannot import path ‘/nix/store/csfbp1s60dkgmk9f8g0zk0mwb7hzgabd-nixexprs.tar.xz’ because it lacks a valid signature
This writes info about every path in the closure in the same format as
‘nix path-info --json’. Thus it also includes NAR hashes and sizes.
Example:
[
{

Fixes#1134.
That is, when build-repeat > 0, and the output of two rounds differ,
then print a warning rather than fail the build. This is primarily to
let Hydra check reproducibility of all packages.
The removal of CachedFailure caused the value of TimedOut to change,
which broke timed-out handling in Hydra (so timed-out builds would
show up as "aborted" and would be retried, e.g. at
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/42537427).
The store parameter "write-nar-listing=1" will cause BinaryCacheStore
to write a file ‘<store-hash>.ls.xz’ for each ‘<store-hash>.narinfo’
added to the binary cache. This file contains an XZ-compressed JSON
file describing the contents of the NAR, excluding the contents of
regular files.
E.g.
{
"version": 1,
"root": {
"type": "directory",
"entries": {
"lib": {
"type": "directory",
"entries": {
"Mcrt1.o": {
"type": "regular",
"size": 1288
},
"Scrt1.o": {
"type": "regular",
"size": 3920
},
}
}
}
...
}
}
(The actual file has no indentation.)
This is intended to speed up the NixOS channels programs index
generator [1], since fetching gazillions of large NARs from
cache.nixos.org is currently a bottleneck for updating the regular
(non-small) channel.

The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a
thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end
up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of
threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of
queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the
result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than
returning a future.
Thus, a command like
nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5
that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main
thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed
CloudFront.)
