c183ee5c79 * Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the build
hook.  This fixes a problem with log files being partially or
  completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process
  truncates the log file.  It should also be more efficient.

d4ca5c3952 * Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful when
the size of the download isn't known in advance.

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.

824b154ce8 * Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs.  Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
  then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes.  With
  --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
  of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
  Nixpkgs).  Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
  build it again  until the lock is released.
  
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
  manner for failed top-level derivation goals.  So if there were more
  than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
  having run out of build users.

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.

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).

c504d90c11 * Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux Nix
installations.  This is implemented using the personality() syscall,
  which causes uname to return "i686" in child processes.

92cb7c4dfe * Put chroots in the Nix store. This ensures that we can create hard

0008b0006d * Simplify deleting .lock files in /nix/store: just don't delete them
if they belong a path that's currently being built.  This gets rid
  of some Cygwin-specific code.

9122dcecbb * We can't use string objects in signal handlers because they might
allocate memory, which is verboten in signal handlers.  This caused
  random failures in the test suite on Mac OS X (triggered by the spurious
  SIGPOLL signals on Mac OS X, which should also be fixed).

6776a52bb3 * Use a PathSet for the chroot directories so that we don't
accidentally bind-mount a directory twice.

d86bd22d24 * Define _GNU_SOURCE. Hopefully this fixes the build on Debian 4.0
(http://hydra.nixos.org/nixlog/384/1).

ac5478eb52 * Don't provide the whole Nix store in the chroot, but only the
closure of the inputs.  This really enforces that there can't be any
  undeclared dependencies on paths in the store.  This is done by
  creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in
  the fake store for all paths in the closure.  After the build, the
  build output is moved from the fake store to the real store.  TODO:
  the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for
  this to work, but this isn't enforced yet.  (I.e. it only works
  currently if /tmp is on the same FS as /nix/store.)

652817046b * Revert r13150: now that we use private namespaces for the chroot, we
don't have to put the chroot in /nix/var/nix/chroots anymore.
  They're back in /tmp now.

5a569509b4 * Provide a minimal /etc/passwd in the chroot to keep some builders
happy.
2008-12-11 17:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7c54f1603f * Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
  children.  So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
  won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
  anymore.  Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
  automatically when the builder exits.

read-only operations (like nix-env -qa) work properly when the
  daemon isn't running.
