a4f0365b2d * When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, use
`nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than
  `nix-hash'.  However, only do this for estimating the size of a
  download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the
  contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of
  course).

3d38a49840 * In the download size indication, take binary patches into account.
Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much.

bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths
will approximately require.

06699d4219 * Store the NAR size in the manifest. 2010-11-17 12:57:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5693b8a7e2 * nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix database
already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').

bfa6ee7d91 * Don't use SSH's `-tt' flag because it doesn't seem to work
on OpenSolaris when using connection sharing.  Instead have
  the remote side check for disconnection and kill the process 
  group when that happens.

bf0dde9597 * Always print hook output on stderr, even if --no-build-output is
set.
* In the build hook, print a trace message to allow Hydra to pick up
  the name of the remote machine used for the build.

Eelco Dolstra
80e722278c * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder.  Only the
  latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.

766f708418 * Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.

    requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];

  We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
  support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support.  Probably
  this should also be enforced for local builds.

e437b08250 * Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting
the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build
  (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering
  those queries until it accepts a build.  So if there are N
  derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.

1a396f3789 * Don't call "cat". 2010-08-25 12:19:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
95deba581d * In the build hook, temporarily register the derivation and its
output as GC roots.  This prevents a race if the garbage collector
  is running during the build.
2010-08-25 11:54:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1e5f5ea2e9 * Correctly handle SSH failing to establish a connection. Because
this didn't work right, the build hook wouldn't fall back to using
  other machines of the desired type.

560ab22f7d * Ignore packages that don't have a version.
* Work on a manifest instead of a channel directory.

819548d92f * Pass `--fallback' to the remote build to ignore failing
substituters.

c778ed1768 * Fix the copy-from-other-stores substituter. 2010-04-26 13:39:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
05fbf61f0e * nix-prefetch-url depends on sed (see
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/311170).
2010-03-05 18:26:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
68e55cd9da * Since Hydra now escapes +', =' and `?' to %NN in URIs,
nix-prefetch-url should unescape them, because `%' is not a valid
  character in store path names.

719cebcac2 * "Fix" incorrect help message. 2010-02-04 09:38:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
443673620d * Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering ssh
processes.

Eelco Dolstra
7ec5a65925 * Doh! The scope of $slotLock should extend to the end of the script,
because otherwise the lock will be released at the end of the while
  loop.

c9b2d80bcd * Typo. 2010-02-04 02:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3cfe65e516 * Doh! Calling `system' in an END block causes the exit status in $?
to be changed to 0.

e51a276907 * Remove the `cat' calls when not using --gzip. 2010-02-04 01:39:23 +00:00

c45de33c67 * Respect @sysconfdir@. 2010-02-03 21:13:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d0c32dc135 * In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the other
machines of the right type (if available).  This makes the build
  farm more robust to failures.

f56a039775 * Use SSH connection sharing in the remote build script.
* Removed the Cygwin password hack since the problem is apparently
  fixed in Visual Studio.
2010-02-03 20:12:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
bc1e478db1 * nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, or
recycle an already existing connection (using  OpenSSH's connection
  sharing feature).
2010-02-03 15:34:52 +00:00

e839802720 * Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't
support deleting the current directory.

Eelco Dolstra
50e34891f0 * Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because
  it has a fast connection to the build machines).  In any case,
  compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.

7ca9972636 * When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the same
URL.  This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in
  /nix/var/nix/manifests.

c4c84d1edb * nix-build: be less verbose. 2009-12-09 18:08:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
997db91e07 * Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the calling
Nix though.

Eelco Dolstra
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.
2009-09-17 15:48:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.
2009-09-17 13:51:04 +00:00

20b6f94b65 * nix-build: pass the --show-trace flag. 2009-07-15 09:10:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.

0460ea4c39 * Cleanup. 2009-04-16 09:27:33 +00:00

096affb55b * Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slot
was last used.

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.

Eelco Dolstra
47706e3924 * nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,
which is much faster.
2009-03-28 21:10:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3a2bbe7f8a * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
