5591fcc529 * Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests
  substituter, especially if manifests are very large.  For instance,
  one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using
  binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s.  It also significantly
  reduces memory use.

  The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite.  It's
  updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from
  /nix/var/nix/manifests.  It might be interesting to have nix-pull
  store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as
  separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface
  to delete manifests from the DB.

1e7e4f21ba * Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer used
and redundant anyway.

d6c8b995c5 * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it.
This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from
  Perl.

a0be433fec * Disable X11 forwarding, it's not needed. 2010-12-15 14:25:54 +00:00

f1a6b97639 * nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing of
`+' and `?' in filenames.  This is very slow if /nix/store is very
  large.  (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to
  bypass the shell entirely.)

d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.

542fc69062 * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot
of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.

7d0444e244 * Bad things happen when a filehandle has the same name as a module. 2010-12-07 12:33:42 +00:00

365f3028dd * Use CamelCase for the Perl modules. 2010-12-05 17:50:29 +00:00

f42a505ab7 * Add a script `nix-generate-patches'.
* Fix the binary patching test.

d3bba0c2d8 * Move the patch generator into a module. 2010-11-29 15:26:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9737a7eba0 * Don't generate patches if the system type differs. 2010-11-29 09:26:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
bd48fd97f6 * Impose a configurable time limit on patch generation. This is
necessary because bsdiff has some pathological worst-case behaviour,
  e.g. O(n^2) on files consisting only of 0s.

1a211d812f * Oops. 2010-11-17 17:54:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.
2010-08-31 12:36:24 +00:00
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.
2010-08-30 14:53:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.

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

443673620d * Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering ssh
processes.

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.

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.

bc1e478db1 * nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, or
recycle an already existing connection (using  OpenSSH's connection
  sharing feature).
