- Harden user sandboxing
|
||||
|
||||
The build directory has been hardened against interference with the outside world by nesting it inside another directory owned by (and only readable by) the daemon user.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a low severity security fix, [CVE-2024-38531](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-38531), that was handled through the GitHub Security Advisories interface, and hence was merged directly in commit [2dd7f8f42](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/2dd7f8f42da374d9fee4d424c1c6f82bcb36b393) instead of a PR.

- `nix build`: show all FOD errors with `--keep-going` [#10734](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10734)
|
||||
|
||||
The [`nix build`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build.md) command has been updated to improve the behavior of the [`--keep-going`] flag. Now, when `--keep-going` is used, all hash-mismatch errors of failing fixed-output derivations (FODs) are displayed, similar to the behavior for other build failures. This enhancement ensures that all relevant build errors are shown, making it easier for users to update multiple derivations at once or to diagnose and fix issues.

These changes aim to replace the use of autotools and make with Meson for building various components of Nix. Additionally, each library is built in its own derivation, leveraging Meson's "subprojects" feature to allow a single development shell for building all libraries while also supporting separate builds. This approach aims to improve productivity and build modularity, compared to both make and a monolithic Meson-based derivation.

- Evaluation cache: fix cache regressions [#10570](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10570) [#11086](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11086)
|
||||
|
||||
This update addresses two bugs in the evaluation cache system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Regression in #10570: The evaluation cache was not being persisted in `nix develop` because `evalCaches` retained references to the caches and was never freed.
|
||||
1. Regression in #10570: The evaluation cache was not being persisted in `nix develop`.
|
||||
2. Nix could sometimes try to commit the evaluation cache SQLite transaction without there being an active transaction, resulting in non-error errors being printed.
|
||||
|
||||
These bug fixes ensure that the evaluation cache is correctly managed and errors are appropriately handled.
