Eelco Dolstra 39d45a6b09 * Add a test for nix-channel. 
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
 2012-01-03 01:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4de3e2a0db * Doh. 2011-11-21 13:22:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 23e933b3b3 * Put back the "sys_name" variable which got removed somewhere. This 
broke building on Cygwin and Solaris.
 2011-11-21 12:23:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a6abade8e8 * Escape the [ and ] characters in the sed call, otherwise autoconf 
will eat them.
 2011-11-21 12:18:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 964399c079 * "sed" on FreeBSD doesn't know the "+" operator. 2011-11-20 19:23:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b92f76374f * In the platform, canonicalise "amd64" to "x86_64". FreeBSD 8.2's 
uname reports amd64.
* Drop the FreeBSD version number, e.g. "i686-freebsd" instead of
  "i686-freebsd8.2".
 2011-11-18 17:25:40 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 42164d6de4 configure: Change i*86 to i686 as has always been done. 2011-11-16 20:58:21 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 45ec69cbdf configure: Rely on `AC_CANONICAL_HOST' to determine the Nix system name. 
This should be more robust and also plays better with
cross-compilation---it uses the host name, instead of using the build
name.
 2011-11-16 20:39:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c0b706213d * Boldly make SQLite WAL mode the default again. Hopefully the 
intermittent problems are gone by now.  WAL mode is preferrable
  because it does way fewer fsyncs.
 2011-11-07 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fcdbcac20 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under 
the Nix:: namespace.
 2011-10-10 21:11:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73fe6871c4 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the 
bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts.

  The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really
  like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
 2011-10-10 18:12:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d9a5959139 * Show the default for --with-store-dir (Nix/211). 2011-07-13 15:57:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 34f4b91820 2011-07-04 14:44:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c99aa2620 2011-06-27 09:01:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4d8148585 2011-06-27 08:04:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4891b21f34 * Use SQLite 3.7.6.2. 2011-05-03 16:17:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3cbf680f5d * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the 
location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and
  --with-dbd-sqlite.
 2011-04-11 10:13:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with 
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.
 2011-02-10 14:31:04 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès f1462c208b Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable. 2011-02-09 21:23:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1876ab764f * A better fix. $boehmgc isn't set anywhere, we should use the flags 
returned by pkg-config.
 2011-02-09 14:13:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c0340eec5a 2011-02-08 12:30:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c931a7aec5 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. 2010-12-17 17:23:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d57776813 * Use SQLite 3.7.4. 2010-12-10 11:45:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fb9368b5a0 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-16 12:49:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d71c8013e * Use pkgconfig to locate the Boehm GC (as suggested by Ludo), if 
--enable-gc is given.
 2010-10-29 14:00:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e41ecbf730 2010-08-27 11:09:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5fb824e896 * Urgh, this was supposed to go in the trunk... 2010-08-12 13:36:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5c5ab2bc12 * Don't link against pthreads. This was added way back in r211 
because Berkeley DB needed it on some platforms, but we don't use
  BDB anymore.

  On FreeBSD, if you link against pthreads, then the main thread gets
  a 2 MB stack which cannot be overriden (it ignores "ulimit -s"):

    http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org/msg62445.html
  
  This is not enough for Nix.  For instance, the garbage collector can
  fail if there is a pathologically deep chain of references
  (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/556199).  2 MB is also not enough for
  many Nix expressions.
  
  Arguably the garbage collector shouldn't use recursion, because in
  NixOS unprivileged users can DOS the garbage collector by creating a
  sufficiently deeply nested chain of references.  But getting rid of
  recursion is a bit harder.
 2010-08-12 13:34:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7875d1648 * Use SQLite 3.7.0.1. 2010-08-06 07:51:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 587dc8aa00 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-08-04 17:48:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd9c77dfc7 * Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot 
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
  performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
  commit.  Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
  -A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:

    42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
     3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
    32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
    16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 1000 pages
     8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 8192 pages
     1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync

  The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs.  Because WAL doesn't
  work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
  truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
  option to false.

Peter Simons a0d29040f7 Revert "configure.ac: make flex and bison required programs" 
This reverts commit 22405. Apparently, these programs aren't necessarily
required when building from a release archive.
 2010-06-24 22:22:24 +00:00
Peter Simons af09fe12dd Fix build of bsdiff-4.3 on machines that don't have <err.h>, such as Solaris. 2010-06-24 17:51:31 +00:00
Peter Simons d63375d529 configure.ac: Incredibly enough, tr(1) on Solaris doesn't understand A-Z syntax for ranges. 2010-06-24 17:51:24 +00:00
Peter Simons 4c21c016c5 configure.ac: make flex and bison required programs 
The build fails if these tools aren't available.
 2010-06-24 17:51:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aa45027818 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-05-12 22:13:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d66ea83a76 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-04-20 09:20:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3b8833a48 * Drop the dependency on the ATerm library. 2010-04-19 14:51:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f71ea9c911 * Use SQLite 3.6.23. 2010-03-23 10:38:59 +00:00
Lluís Batlle i Rossell 13cce8ec45 Making 'bin2c' to be built with the compiler for the local system. 
I copied the configure.ac code about CC_FOR_BUILD from libX11.
 2010-03-11 20:56:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 070057c1b9 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-03-11 10:52:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 05fbf61f0e * nix-prefetch-url depends on sed (see 
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/311170).
 2010-03-05 18:26:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d8c5745c41 * Support static builds. 2010-03-02 17:12:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5414b3b2db * Remove the --enable-static-nix flag. 2010-03-02 16:40:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 594eaddd11 * When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build with 
--enable-shared.
* In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm.
* Some more header file hygiene.
 2010-03-02 15:58:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84a4dd5ff0 * Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard. 
* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not
  installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
 2010-02-24 15:46:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fae0427324 * ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS. 2010-02-24 12:25:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5954eadf67 * Remove the fdatasync check since it's no longer needed. 2010-02-24 12:16:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b4e6d98fc3 * configure: flag --with-sqlite. 2010-02-23 22:12:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c1a07f9445 * Convert the Nix database to SQLite. 2010-02-18 13:16:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2723d9b56e * If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync(). 2010-02-02 11:57:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 53a4981fa2 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package manager work on OpenSolaris 2009-10-08 14:50:37 +00:00
Peter Simons 18f0ff003d configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file size support 
Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e.
Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the
functionality in case of problems.
 2009-10-06 09:14:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 51ad64cc07 * Use xmllint (>= 2.7.4) for RelaxNG validation instead of Jing. 2009-09-18 11:45:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a5599fd01 * Typo. 2009-05-07 11:33:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9856efc7b0 * Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binaries 
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no
  RPMs/Debs available.
 2009-03-26 12:22:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it 
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.
 2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra be88248add * Make the version available to release.nix. 2009-03-09 15:05:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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.
 2009-01-12 16:30:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac36c6cd44 * Some hackery to make "make check" succeed on Cygwin. 2008-12-12 15:36:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b70a8e7c9 * Detect whether unshare() is available. 2008-12-12 13:41:36 +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.
 2008-12-11 17:00:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d4eb9dd07 * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree. 2008-11-26 01:13:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ab09a55cf * Bump the version number. 2008-11-20 21:51:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 285d26374a * Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the Autoconf 
default of /usr/local.  However, localstatedir and storedir are set
  to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're
  explicitly overriden.
 2008-11-20 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD 
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
 2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Michael Raskin b4bc8b7616 --proxy=proxy:3128 2008-05-07 14:18:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 658816ddc9 * Make really sure that we use bash. The line 
NEED_PROG(shell, bash)

  actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at
  /bin/sh.
 2008-04-10 09:54:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 895c953817 * Bumped the version number to 0.12. 2007-12-31 17:53:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df303666bc * Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for 
builders that fail due to a signal.
 2007-12-14 14:49:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5f8a203b55 * A rule to make a PDF version of the manual. 2007-11-01 14:42:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b95603595 * Depend on bash instead of sh (since we use a few bashisms). 2007-10-29 10:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 42d80d1170 * On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h. 2007-10-29 10:03:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d91cd30563 * Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available. 2007-10-27 16:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93aefd9fc0 * Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now 
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable).  The
  top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
  attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
  {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}).  This makes
  attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
  e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
 2007-05-01 23:16:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2716f9bc5f * It seems that svnversion prints a carriage return on Cygwin, so we 
get a invalid #define VERSION.  Use "svnversion -n" to leave out the
  newline.  Fix provided by Marc Weber.
 2007-04-16 12:00:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db1973d012 * Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call 
openssl through $PATH at runtime.
 2007-03-01 13:30:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d03f0d4117 * Check for lchown. 2006-12-07 18:51:11 +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
Eelco Dolstra 84d6459bd5 * Use setreuid if setresuid is not available. 2006-12-03 14:32:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program. 
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
 2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71e867c5f5 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group. 
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
  platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
  FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
  binaries.
 2006-11-29 21:06:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e790404318 * Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky 
results on some machines. (NIX-69)
 2006-11-13 14:54:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d694eef4c * Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four years 
old...
 2006-10-19 19:20:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7bada48b36 * Bumped the version number to 0.11. 2006-10-06 13:45:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4cab35d1a6 * Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes 
(NIX-22).
 2006-09-22 11:13:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 22d13d6ec2 * Check for patch (NIX-59). 2006-09-20 15:28:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aab8812732 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. 2006-09-04 15:12:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e5678b3435 * Map "ppc" to "powerpc" so that Linux on PowerPC will be reported as 
"powerpc-linux".
 2006-08-25 16:23:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1a9a1f2768 * Convert to DocBook 5. 
* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
 2006-08-21 16:05:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d456fc35a * On Cygwin, set the system type to i686-cygwin, and disable dynamic 
linking.
 2006-05-31 11:50:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 03162f8f47 * Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the 
externals directory.  This is in particular useful because though
  most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2,
  which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
 2006-04-25 10:45:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a4c63c6e8e * Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line. 2006-03-01 12:15:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ddb78dfc3d * Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph. 
* Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well.
 2006-02-22 13:55:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6f586d0ea * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's 
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256.  The main benefit is that
  we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though
  not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately).  OpenSSL's SHA-1
  implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
 2006-02-13 19:52:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8291f6d968 * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2. 2006-02-01 16:48:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e38578433 * log2xml -> nix-log2xml. 2005-10-05 09:42:13 +00:00
