5d4eb9dd07 * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree. 2008-11-26 01:13:29 +00:00

2369b122d1 * Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix). 2008-11-19 13:19:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c5e934dcc9 * nix-pull: using nix-prefetch-url (so that we get caching for free), 
and store the manifests in the Nix store.  (So now
  /nix/var/nix/manifests/ just contains symlinks to the store and is
  searched for GC roots.)

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.

b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +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.

88273f9574 * Put build logs in $prefix/var/nix/log/drvs/. 2005-02-17 13:54:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2e6bf723e4 * Added a global configuration file (/nix/etc/nix/nix.conf). It 
contains options for the garbage collector right now, but other
  stuff can be added here later.
 2005-02-01 20:53:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1328aa3307 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary 
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
  while holding a write lock on that file.  The garbage collector
  acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
  progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
  roots.

77970f8daf * Remove `prebuilts.conf' file, it's not like anybody was using it. 
* Add /nix/var/nix/manifests directory.

3ade3e7721 * Revert r1594 - it didn't solve the problem. Instead add 
svn-revision to distributions, which should fix it.

2155c0a673 * Register channels as roots of the garbage collector (in 
$(localstatedir)/nix/gcroots/channels). 
* In setuid installations, create gcroots/tmp and gcroots/channels
  group-writable.

2d35116c13 * Setuid support for sharing a Nix installation between multiple 
users.

  If the configure flag `--enable-setuid' is used, the Nix programs
  nix-env, nix-store, etc. are installed with the setuid bit turned on
  so that they are executed as the user and group specified by
  `--with-nix-user=USER' and `--with-nix-group=GROUP', respectively
  (with defaults `nix' and `nix').

  The setuid programs drop all special privileges if they are executed
  by a user who is not a member of the Nix group.

  The setuid feature is a quick hack to enable sharing of a Nix
  installation between users who trust each other.  It is not
  generally secure, since any user in the Nix group can modify (by
  building an appropriate derivation) any object in the store, and for
  instance inject trojans into binaries used by other users.

  The setuid programs are owned by root, not the Nix user.  This is
  because on Unix normal users cannot change the real uid, only the
  effective uid.  Many programs don't work properly when the real uid
  differs from the effective uid.  For instance, Perl will turn on
  taint mode.  However, the setuid programs drop all root privileges
  immediately, changing all uids and gids to the Nix user and group.

Eelco Dolstra
256eeab711 * Allow the location of the store etc. to be specified using 
environment variables.
* Started adding some automatic tests.
* Do a `make check' when building RPMs.

759c953196 * Look for GC roots in @localstatedir@/nix/gcroots. 2004-04-22 14:17:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d7238bc84e * Don't create $(localstatedir)/nix/profiles if --disable-init-state 
is specified.
 2004-04-22 07:47:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f79e9c2d22 * Do initialise state (the DB etc.) when doing a `make install', 
unless `--disable-init-state' is passed to configure.

1c7d6bf5fc * Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on 
GCC 2.95.

d072485d28 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix 
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar).
* queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying
  the target path (which may be empty).
* Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix.  TODO: bootstrap
  Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.
 2003-07-10 13:41:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
aa8fda4b54 * We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a 
build action for `system' packages (like system.fix) that have
  dependencies on all packages we want to activate.

  So the command sequence to switch to a new activation configuration
  of the system would be:

    $ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix
    ...
    system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f

    $ nix-switch 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f

* A nix-profile.sh script that can be included in .bashrc.
