cafaceb707 * Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie. 2006-12-15 21:27:26 +00:00

a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.

b438d37558 * In dumpPath(): pass a function object that allows files to be
selectively in/excluded from the dump.

7ace29dae7 * New operation `nix-env --set' which sets a user environment to a
single derivation specified by the argument.  This is useful when we
  want to have a profile for a single derivation, such as a server
  configuration.  Then we can just say (e.g.)

  $ nix-env -p /.../server-profile -f server.nix --set -A server

  We can't do queries or upgrades on such a profile, but we can do
  rollbacks.  The advantage over -i is that we don't have to worry
  about other packages having been installed in the profile
  previously; --set gets rid of them.

1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the
names of the attributes in an attribute set.

b17677462c * Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This
matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid
  helper (which already used lchown()).
  
* Also check for an obscure security problem on platforms that don't
  have lchown.  Then we can't change the ownership of symlinks, which
  doesn't matter *except* when the containing directory is writable by
  the owner (which is the case with the top-level Nix store directory).

fa33303146 * Goal cancellation inside the waitForInput() loop needs to be handled
very carefully, since it can invalidate iterators into the
  `children' map.

Eelco Dolstra
06c4929958 * Some refactoring.
* Throw more exceptions as BuildErrors instead of Errors.  This
  matters when --keep-going is turned on.  (A BuildError is caught
  and terminates the goal in question, an Error terminates the
  program.)

9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.

d3fe6ab024 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even
in case of failure.

back to the Nix account.

d03f0d4117 * Check for lchown. 2006-12-07 18:51:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process,
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.

a82d80ddeb * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil. 2006-12-07 16:40:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's
processes before and after the build.

ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its
ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00

a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the
ownership of the build result after the build.

6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before
deleting them using the setuid helper.

7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the
builder under the desired build user.

813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
79875c5e42 * Change the ownership of the current directory to the build user. 2006-12-06 23:52:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
62ab131412 * Verify that the desired target user is in the build users group (as
specified in the setuid config file).

f07ac41656 * Check that the caller is allowed to call the setuid helper. The
allowed uid is specified in a configuration file in
  /etc/nix-setuid.conf.

a14d491f09 * Oops. 2006-12-06 20:16:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.

751f6d2157 * nix-setuid-helper: allow running programs under a different uid. 2006-12-06 17:29:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00

2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid()
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6f0d050324 * Tricky: child processes should not send data to the client since
that might mess up the protocol.  And besides, the socket file
  descriptor is probably closed.

4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8d1854c3f1 * Oops! In daemon mode, we can't run as root either if build-users is empty. 2006-12-05 17:44:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
99655245ae * Use an explicit handler for SIGCHLD, since SIG_IGN doesn't do the
right thing on FreeBSD 4 (it leaves zombies).

fc1c20d11b * Redundant. 2006-12-05 13:57:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.
