If we just want to write a non-compiled script (e.g. writeDash), it’s
usually a lot faster just doing it locally. That’s what
`runCommandLocal` was introduced for, so let’s use it in `writers`.
When the `paths` argument is too big `symlinkJoin` will fail with:
```
while setting up the build environment: executing '/nix/store/rm1hz1lybxangc8sdl7xvzs5dcvigvf7-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash': Argument list too long
```
This is fixed by passing `paths` as a file instead of as an
environment variable.
`git repack` and `git gc` sometimes print “Nothing new to pack.”
to stdout, which breaks redirecting output to JSON file.
Let’s move the stdout of all git calls where it is not used to stderr
so that we still receive the info but it does not pollute our output.
Fixes #78744
My previous change broke when there are more packages than the maximum
number of layers. I had assumed that the `store-path-to-layer.sh` was
only ever passed a single store path, but that is not the case if
there are multiple packages going into the final layer. To fix this, we
loop through the paths going into the final layer, appending them to the
tar file and making sure they end up at the right path.
Changes the default fetcher in the Rust Platform to be the newer
`fetchCargoTarball`, and changes every application using the current default to
instead opt out.
This commit does not change any hashes or cause any rebuilds. Once integrated,
we will start deleting the opt-outs and recomputing hashes.
See #79975 for details.
The readme was nice to discuss in the implementation PR, but now that this is
merged it's better to have an issue that can be linked against in PRs and
doesn't require further merges to update status.
Ported with a status update in #79975
By overriding each dependency on every level of the dependency tree we
are creating a lot of unnecessary instances of the same derivation
Looking at the output size of `nix-instantiate --trace-function-calls
-vvvv …` and the execution time I got about a 10x improvement after
applying this change.
It was probably good intentions that lead to these overrides but in
practice no tooling (that I know of) really needs this. `carnix` and
`crate2nix` are fine without those overrides. Furthermore I believe that
it is the job of the tooling around `buildRustCrate` to provide a
coherent set of overrides. By not enforcing all of the overrides, debug
flags, verbosity, … to be the same throughout the closure we also allow
consumers to override specific aspects of the crates. Some (older?)
crates might need different `crateOverrides` then newer crates with the
same name. Currently such situations can not (easily) be implemented
with the override in-place.
This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
Since a layer is reserved for "customization", the image can not
contains less than 2 layers.
The user gets the following message at evaluation:
nix-instantiate nixos/tests/docker-tools.nix
trace: the maxLayers argument of dockerTools.buildLayeredImage function must be greather than 1 (current value: 1)
Building a docker image with darwin binaries just yields a confusing
error when ran:
standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"
This change prevents people from building such images in the first place
Previously I did use `runCommand` to do the same. Using
releaseTools.aggregate seems a lot saner and we might get nicer hydra
output of the tests that are failing.
It used to be the case (ref missing) that cargo did treat
`src/$libName.rs` as an alternative to `src/lib.rs` when the latter
wasn't present. Recently I failed to reproduce that with vanilla cargo
and it started to cause pain with some crates of the form:
some_crate/
`- src
`- main.rs
`- some_crate.rs
We would build `src/some_crate.rs` and thing it is a library while that
might not be the actual case. This crate is a valid `bin` crate not a
`lib` crate as far as I can tell from the samples I took.
I removed support for the previously required heuristic and commented
out the test cases in case we will need them again. We could crawl in
the Git history but chances are that the next person looking into this
doesn't know about the history.
Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty
colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the
current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security
vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted. (See #67234, for
example.) Fix this throughout the tree.

While looking at the graph of all the outputs in my personal binary
cache it became obvious that we have a lot of self references within the
package set. That isn't an isuse by itself. However it increases the
size of the binary cache for every (reproducible) build of a package
that carries references to itself. You can no longer deduplicate the
outputs since they are all unique. One of the ways to get rid of (a few)
references is to rewrite all the symlinks that are currently used to be
relative symlinks. Two build of something that didn't really change but
carries a self-reference can the be store as the same NAR file again.
I quickly hacked together this change to see if that would yield and
success. My bash scripting skills are probably not great but so far it
seem to somewhat work.
When this fails, the user may want to copy-paste the path to the "bad"
Cargo.lock file to inspect. The trailing `.` on `$cargoDeps.` gets caught in
most terminal copy-pastes. Since half the lines already don't have it, this
removes it from all of them for consistent output.
