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.
Add a fallback path in `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap` for daemons
that don't support it.
Also upstreams a couple methods from `SSHStore` to `RemoteStore` as this
is needed to handle the fallback path.
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).
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.
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.)
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).
Since its superclass RemoteStore::Connection contains 'to' and 'from'
fields that refer to the file descriptor maintained in the subclass,
it was possible for the flush() call in Connection::~Connection() to
write to a closed file descriptor (or worse, a file descriptor now
referencing another file). So make sure that the file descriptor
survives 'to' and 'from'.
This can be iterated on and currently leaves out settings we know we
want to forward, but it fixes#1713 and fixes#1935 and isn't
fundamentally broken like the status quo. Future changes are suggested
in a comment.
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots
periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the
corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is
restarted.
It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at
process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions
like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a
pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
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.
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.
* Unify SSH code in SSHStore and LegacySSHStore.
* Fix a race starting the SSH master. We now wait synchronously for
the SSH master to finish starting. This prevents the SSH clients
from starting their own connections.
* Don't use a master if max-connections == 1.
* Add a "max-connections" store parameter.
* Add a "compress" store parameter.
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.)
