Temporarily allow derivations to describe their full sandbox profile.
This will be eventually scaled back to a more secure setup, see the
discussion at #695
Nix reports a hash mismatch saying:
output path ‘foo’ should have sha256 hash ‘abc’, instead has ‘xyz’
That message is slightly ambiguous and some people read that statement
to mean the exact opposite of what it is supposed to mean. After this
patch, the message will be:
Nix expects output path ‘foo’ to have sha256 hash ‘abc’, instead it has ‘xyz’
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be
repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the
build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as
valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We
already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded
build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered
in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that
non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)
This reverts commit 79ca503332. Ouch,
never noticed this. We definitely don't want to allow builds to have
arbitrary access to /bin and /usr/bin, because then they can (for
instance) bring in a bunch of setuid programs. Also, we shouldn't be
encouraging the use of impurities in the default configuration.
If automatic store optimisation is enabled, and a hard-linked file in
the store gets corrupted, then the corresponding .links entry will
also be corrupted. In that case, trying to repair with --repair or
--repair-path won't work, because the new "good" file will be replaced
by a hard link to the corrupted file. We can catch most of these cases
by doing a sanity-check on the file sizes.
