3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

objects that would be freed.

b35735d8b2 * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock
files after we've closed them.  Since this only succeeds if the lock
  is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is
  not necessary.

Eelco Dolstra
588cb0eade * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile.  Fixes NIX-7.

  builder.

Eelco Dolstra
9d72bf8835 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon
64 running 64-bit SUSE).  A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix
  succesfully.

c8bfb11b34 * `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths
will be built or substituted.

74166f2f44 * db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers. 2006-03-01 17:44:28 +00:00

345a95afe9 * Allow the size of the GC reserved file to be specified in nix.conf
through the new `gc-reserved-space' option.

651ab439cf * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when
the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we
  need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space).  Under
  normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file
  /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB.  When running the garbage
  collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB
  environment.

81de538e46 * Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only
creates a new process group but also a new session.  New sessions
  have no controlling tty, so child processes like ssh cannot open
  /dev/tty (which is bad).
2006-02-03 14:20:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b90daaaf6c * When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as
intended).  This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote
  machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote
  machine also exits.  Without this, the remote Nix process will
  continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it
  locks up.  (Partially fixes NIX-35.)

0f8d3c871b * More GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2005-12-25 11:29:12 +00:00

1440419b45 * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2005-12-24 23:32:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f96d2dea26 * Added a flag --ignore-liveness' to nix-store --delete'. It
deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root.  However, it
  won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would
  violate store invariants).

  Don't try this at home.  It's a useful hack for recovering from
  certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures
  due to disk corruption).

4b9e7f59ca * Revived the old "nix-store --delete" operation that deletes the
specified paths from the Nix store.  However, this operation is
  safe: it refuses to delete anything that the garbage collector
  wouldn't delete.

530b27df1e * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout
(even when it is interrupted by a signal).

b1eed6b586 * Split the database upgrade into multiple transactions to prevent
Berkeley DB from running out of locks.

ab5c6bb3a3 * Change referer' to referrer' throughout. In particular, the
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have
  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-12-13 21:04:48 +00:00

d87549c1c7 * Automatically delete the old referers table. 2005-12-12 19:14:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8463f27d8c * Fix NIX-23: quadratic complexity in maintaining the referers
mapping.  The referer table is replaced by a referrer table (note
  spelling fix) that stores each referrer separately.  That is,
  instead of having

    referer[P] = {Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, ...}

  we store

    referer[(P, Q_1)] = ""
    referer[(P, Q_2)] = ""
    referer[(P, Q_3)] = ""
    ...

  To find the referrers of P, we enumerate over the keys with a value
  lexicographically greater than P.  This requires the referrer table
  to be stored as a B-Tree rather than a hash table.

  (The tuples (P, Q) are stored as P + null-byte + Q.)

  Old Nix databases are upgraded automatically to the new schema.

a33b561a6b * Use Berkeley DB 4.4's process registry feature to recover from
crashed Nix instances, and toss out our own recovery code.

Eelco Dolstra
760264bffe * Require Berkeley DB 4.4.

b7f008fc35 * Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now
much faster.

f0856fd905 * Repair the referers table from the references table. 2005-10-29 15:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
92d599c6a7 * Prevent uids from being used for more than one build
simultaneously.  We do this using exclusive locks on uid files in
  /nix/var/nix/userpool, e.g., /nix/var/nix/userpool/123 for uid 123.

e932c40f8e * Oops. Fixed-output derivations were broken. 2005-10-19 14:27:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
13b089c890 * Also kill all processes of the build user after the build. This is
critical to prevent certain kinds of 0wnage.
2005-10-17 17:43:21 +00:00

f1b3a418fa * Before starting a build under some uid, kill all current processes
running under that uid.
