[Nix-dev] FreeBSD Support
I see that FreeBSD is no longer stated as supported. Is this because the nix tools themselves no longer work under FreeBSD or because the packages have fallen into disrepair? /Malcolm ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Re: [Nix-dev] Dataflow
It's unclear to me what problem your proposal solves. If the source of the issue is the package itself is paralleizing builds (i.e. rebar) then how does making Nix more dataflow solve that? stewart mackenzie setor...@gmail.com writes: Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the Nix language itself has any idea of concurrency as such -- at the manual says The Nix expression language is a pure, lazy, functional language. (https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-expression-language) Actually I recall eelco talking about threads in nix. IIRC there was a motion to remove them but he wanted to keep them. Therefore, there's no value in adding concurrency unless your bottleneck is the actual derivation of the build *plan* (not the actual build). You're quite correct, indeed I was referring to the build plan. One light weight language thread calling the build tool for each build/package that forms part of the build plan. If one uses declarative concurrency I suspect one could essentially remove much of the build plan logic that's in nix-the-language. I need to do some more reading. As you've discovered, your problem is that the underlying mechansism is impure (and buggy). There's nothing Nix-the-language can do about that -- unless you want to go about replacing the build systems used by individual programs by more principled ones. I'm sure we'd all love that, but it's not a trivial task and need buy-in from any potential upstream. Well that's certainly not going to happen any time soon. :) It was just rather annoying trying to debug something that keeps hopping about. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] cabal install vs. libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
As a bandaid, I have gotten around this in some ocaml packages by using
LD_PRELOAD:
export LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/libgcc_s.so
This 'solves' the problem for me.

Hi,
Sorry for the long email, this is a somewhat complicated topic.
I hope both Eelco and Peter will find the time to read through though,
thanks! :)
I started to get libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to
work errors randomly with the new parallel cabal install.
This is only an annoyance right now, because I can just rerun the
command and it will succeed sooner or later, since this is
non-deterministic, but I started to dig nevertheless.
It's not apparent to me that pthread_cancel is ever called by GHC
runtime itself, most probably it's a third party library that's issuing
the call.
Take this code as an example...
ctest.c:
#include pthread.h
#include unistd.h
static void *thread_func(void *ignored_argument) {
sleep(100);
return NULL;
}
void x() {
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(thr, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
pthread_cancel(thr);
}
test.hs:
{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
foreign import ccall x x :: IO ()
main :: IO ()
main = x putStrLn end
Compile with:
gcc -Wall -c ctest.c
/nix/store/8sdpn4z5skf3hpmaihg926v1ma1sw9zq-ghc-7.8.3/bin/ghc --make
-fforce-recomp -threaded test ctest.o
Or you can also do:
gcc -Wall -c ctest.c
/opt/ceh/bin/ghc --make -fforce-recomp -threaded test ctest.o
if you have http://github.com/nilcons/ceh installed.
With the first version, when we run the executable, we have:
$ ./test
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted
$ strace -e file ./test 21 | tail -n 5
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

So libgcc_s.so.1 is searched for in glibc-2.19/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 instead
of searching in the gcc closure.

Re: [Nix-dev] Newbie questions
You can use Nix on OS X, however NixOS is an OS, I'm unaware of any overlay for OS X (or how much sense that would make). Myself, I use a Mac mostly for hardware + (once upon a time) a non bad UI. I do everything on my Mac inside a VM running NixOS. This works pretty well for me. If you want to replace OS X with NixOS, I know some people have had success there. For installing Nix on OS X, so you can use nixops to create VMs (if you want to do it that way), you can see this blog post: http://functional-orbitz.blogspot.se/2013/05/setting-up-nixops-on-mac-os-x-with.html This has been turned into a few shell scripts too, by Zef, https://github.com/zefhemel/nixops-mac-setup They are 6+mo old though, so I can't guarantee the directions will work right off the bat. Welcome! Matt Paine mattze...@gmail.com writes: Hi Guys. This is an awesome project. I have been thinking about how to do this kind of package management for a long time, but to see it working in practice is quite a thrill. Also seeing the idea extrapolated out to an entire OS build as well is quite exciting! I would like to ask a few questions if thats okay. I hope they are not too out of place in this list. I would like to contribute back with some development too, even if its just improving the current documentation at first with the answers to some of my queries, and hopefully some derivations/code at a later time :) 1) I am currently running a mac. I tentatively use HomeBrew (a bsd ports like package manager) as it doesn't interfere too much with the system, and uninstall it and all the ports it has installed is a relatively easy process. How does installing nix on my mac integrate? Obviously using the NixOS it is tightly integrated, but I would like to try it out with my mac. What does the installer (for macosx) actually touch? Hopefully just adding .nix-profile to the path etc, but I would like to make sure before I uninstall it and wreck my specific mac setup. 2) I LOVE the way I can define a system from the one file (/etc/nixos/configuration.nix). Is there a way I can define my user profile like that as well? i.e. ~/.nixos/configuration.nix. This way I can source-control that file, and when I setup a new machine, I can not only ensure the system is configured sanely, but also my specific user (which might want a different version of python for instance than whats built for the system) 3) After modifying /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, and if the system screws up, and I want to rollback, is there a way of knowing what the previous configuration.nix was so I can compare to the existing one? 4) I notice there is a raspberry pi image available for download. Its quite old, I was hoping to build my own .img file and try out nixos on my raspberry pi. Building CD/DVD ISO's is pretty easy, but I am unfamiliar with out to build an image for raspberry pi. Any hints on how I can do that? 5) The documentation mentions after creating a .nix file for a software package, to add it to the top-level/all-packages.nix. If I wanted to create a derivation for a specific older instance of php with specific configuration, which would not be very useful for the community, but highly useful for my deployment, what is the best way to handle that instance? Can I just put the .nix file in my projects repo, and run the derivation direct from that file? I assume the answer is yes, but I have not found out how yet. 6) How do I handle global installation of packages from the myriad of other package managers out there (npm (node), easy-install (python), pear/pecl (php), etc etc). I see a conversation on the mailing list at the moment which will likely cover this answer, so I might stalk that thread and see what comes of it :). But how do we do it now (i.e. with wrappers??) I have more questions, but I haven't googled them for answers yet, so I will refrain if I cannot work them out myself :) Thank you in advance.

Eelco Dolstra eelco.dols...@logicblox.com writes:
Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new stable release of the
Nix package manager. Release 1.6 can be found at
http://hydra.nixos.org/release/nix/nix-1.6
and
http://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-1.6/
In addition to the usual bug fixes, this release has several new features:
* The command nix-build --run-env has been renamed to nix-shell.
* nix-shell now sources $stdenv/setup inside the interactive shell, rather
than in a parent shell. This ensures that shell functions defined by
stdenv
can be used in the interactive shell.
* nix-shell has a new flag --pure to clear the environment, so you get an
environment that more closely corresponds to the real Nix build.
* nix-shell now sets the shell prompt (PS1) to ensure that Nix shells are
distinguishable from your regular shells.
* nix-env no longer requires a * argument to match all packages, so nix-env
-qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa '*'.
* nix-env -i has a new flag --remove-all (-r) to remove all previous
packages
from the profile. This makes it easier to do declarative package
management
similar to NixOS's environment.systemPackages. For instance, if you have a
specification my-packages.nix like this:
with import nixpkgs {};
[ thunderbird
geeqie
...
]
then after any change to this file, you can run:
$ nix-env -f my-packages.nix -ir
to update your profile to match the specification.
* The `with' language construct is now more lazy. It only evaluates its
argument if a variable might actually refer to an attribute in the
argument. For instance, this now works:
let
pkgs = with pkgs; { foo = old; bar = foo; } // overrides;
overrides = { foo = new; };
in pkgs.bar
This evaluates to new, while previously it gave an infinite recursion
error.
* Nix now has proper integer arithmetic operators. For instance, you can
write x + y instead of builtins.add x y, or x y instead of
builtins.lessThan x y. The comparison operators also work on strings.
* On 64-bit systems, Nix integers are now 64 bits rather than 32 bits.
* When using the Nix daemon, the nix-daemon worker process now runs on the
same CPU as the client, on systems that support setting CPU affinity. This
gives a significant speedup on some systems.
* If a stack overflow occurs in the Nix evaluator, you now get a proper
error
message (rather than Segmentation fault) on some systems.
* In addition to directories, you can now bind-mount regular files in
chroots
through the (now misnamed) option build-chroot-dirs.
This release has contributions from Domen Kožar, Eelco Dolstra, Florian
Friesdorf, Gergely Risko, Ivan Kozik, Ludovic Courtès and Shea Levy.

[Nix-dev] Templates
This was discussed a little bit in #nixos. The question is: currently it seems that the only option for doing configs in NixOS is by putting a string literal in a nix expression.

Re: [Nix-dev] Templates
I want the same semantics as including a config as a string literal in a nix expression, but I want it to be in its own file, preferably without any nix syntax around it.

Re: [Nix-dev] Templates
I want to add Riak support to NixOS. The config file is quite large and
can be complex. It also is a supported file type in my Emacs so I get
pretty syntax highlighting. Putting this inside Nix expressions losses
this feature. I think putting config files in Nix expressions is
suboptimal.

Well of course you can just write ruby preprocessors turning your

TOR in bridge mode now also runs obfsproxy which helps defeat those nasty DPI

There are no known cases of non-exit node operators getting attacked by

1) I remember having hit this case, too.
2) If we don't want to break builds, we could at least change setup.sh
to test whethet it countains $out, if it does, cause error message:
use preConfigure = ''
...
''
instead.
About changing semantics: I don't think it would affect any existing
builds, becaues you just neven pass literal $out to a configure script
- or does anybody remebmber having done so?
Cases I know about where you want to presever $out are setup hooks for
instance. So replacing all $out by the path would be too much -
preConfigure = ''configureFlags=--foo=$out/etc/foo.cfg'';
works just fine. Maybe it would be sufficient to document the current
behavior in more detail?
Yes - it works. However nix is a tool, and it should make the average
case simple - but - if we started doing so - we had to document where
$out substitution happens etc. So eventually I'd vote for creating a
wiki page, explaining this in detail, that attr are just passed as is
as env vars, to use preConfigure.
Thinking about it I'd vote for such solution if we are about changing
anything:
mkDerivation {
# NEW, implicit: you don't have to pass this, because its default
# but you can opt-out [] or opt-in [configureFlags,other-env-var]
substituteOut = [configureFlags];
configureFlags=--prefix=$out
}
On the other hand maybe its not that bad that people run into this
problem, because they'll learn and understand how derivations work this
way :)

Re: [Nix-dev] NixOS on Linode
Thanks Shea! How do you boot the ISO on Linode.

Am I doing it right? Thanks!

Re: [Nix-dev] NixOS on Linode
Thank you for the responses everyone. I'm such a noob at this, I have
some questions.
I'm trying to follow the Rackspace directions, but I'm running into
issues.
1 - I couldn't get anywhere with the Rescue Disk, because I couldn't
install anything on ~. So instead I created a Gentoo partition of 5
gigs, then devoted the remaining room for where I want to install NixOS
2 - I tried to follow the Rackspace directions but I ran into issues.
The farthest I got was nixos-install and it saying it would not install
because '/' was not a real mount point (or something similar, sorry I
don't have the output).
So here is what I think I should be doing, and hopefully someone can
school me:
1 - I need to have a place I can mount the NixOS install ISO
2 - I need to unsquash that filesystem into a dir so it looks like a
running installation iso
3 - I need to chroot into this, then I can install NixOS as if I were
installing while running the installation ISO. In this case I should
mount my destination location to /mnt, modify
/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix and do nixos-install
Unfortunately, at step 3 is where I get an error.
Do I understand the procedure correctly? Am I messing up someplace
obvious?
Thanks!

Malcolm,
Yes, the wiki page is a bit outdated. I recently built NixOS on Linode
largely following this page instead:
http://nixos.org/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_Rackspace_Cloud_Servers
You'll need to build some other natively supported distribution first,
and then you can generally follow the above to build a NixOS boot disk.
In the Linode dashboard, configure the kernel for the NixOS
configuration profile to be pv-grub-x86_64. I also selected Xenify
Distro and Disable updatedb, but not modules.dep Helper and
Automount devtmpfs.
Here are some excerpts from my configuration.nix:

# The following should be used, but can't be currently because
# services.mingettys.ttys is no longer a valid specification, so
# individual elements are reproduced below

];
boot = {
initrd.kernelModules = [ xen-blkfront xen-fbfront xen-netfront
xen-kbdfront ];
loader.grub = {
enable = true;
version = 1;
extraPerEntryConfig = root (hd0);
device = nodev;
};
extraKernelParams=[root=/dev/xvda console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen];
kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_3_7;

Re: [Nix-dev] Language-specific package managers
Thanks for the complete response Marc. For the mean time, the current solution I'm working on is manually converting packages to Nix. The translation is pretty straight forward and I should be able to write a tool to automatically do it. It's not optimal but I have been able to get all of the packages I care about into my local nixpkgs repo and will submit them to the master repo once I'm satisfied with them. /M Marc Weber marco-owe...@gmx.de writes: I created hack-nix for Haskell, which dumps hackage. contains a brute force dependency solver nixpkgs-ruby-overlay [1] which dumps rubyforge (which is quite usable, but not perfect yet) nixpkgs-python-overlay [2] which dumps PyPi (experimental, dependency inforamtion is not complete enough) does not do backtracking, if dependencies fails its you having to to tell it try lib-A version 2.0.0. They are special because they all work on a dump of packages creating .nix derivations on the fly whereas cabal2nix creates .nix files very close to what you find in nixpkgs. They all create kind of shell script you can source to augment the environment variables, so that dependencies are found. Thus you can have multiple sets of packages for different targen porjects within the same user account without conflicts - however you always have to load such an environment, eg by # run bash with ruby packgaes found in environment name ruby-env-name bash Known additional universes: - perl - java, scala (ivy, maven, sbt) - There are many ideas and ways to implement such. Eg for scala/maven/ivy/... one way to think about it would be using the store as installation place, but not using much about the nix* tools otherwise. then sbt build would just store everything in store. Other ways are creating .nix files for a target on the fly - such as sbt/ivy/mvn create-nix-derivations (which is close to what cabal2nix does). The downside is that you may have to run a tool before you can succeed with nixos-rebuild-switch, because not everything may be packaged. The perfect way would be including a SOT solver in nix, which hasn't beeen done yet - and which was not favored by Eelco in the past (maybe for good reason). Eg Eclipse plugin system works this way: the SAT solver tries to find one working set of dependencies to satisfy the setup you want - however the search space may be very big - which is why I limit the simple brute force solver used by hack-nix by passing only a subset of all packages found on hackage (latest versions same manually selected ones). While such a generic approach may seem perfect, there are these downsides: - its harder to controls when rebuilds will take place, because small changes in the pool may cause the solver arbitrarely choose a different solution, otherwise its you having to force eg library-A version should be 1.0 like thing. and such rebuilds are bad, because its easy to loos track about which combinations actually work, because while constrtaints are fine, they are never complete. Thus in any case there will be lots of maintainance effort. - its also hard and time consuming (for humans and the cpu) to evaluate all solutions over and over again - which may not be the perfect end user experience. Eg you do'nt want wont to wait 30secs for the evaluation to finish just to install gnu sed translation apps for all language package manager types? Specifically I am looking at opam, the new ocaml package manager. I never used opam. Can you copy paste a package description with dependency information so that we can get an idea about how it actually looks like? Cabal is kind of static, but very complex. Example: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/darcs/2.8.3/darcs.cabal scroll down to build-depends which depend on flags which are automatiacally chosen depending on the ghc version available - but flags are also used to enable/disable features or test cases for python and ruby there are .py or gemspec files. The problem is that they may even run python or ruby code - thus there may be packages whos dependencies may depend on configuration options and or the system which makes it harder to to dump such info into something which can be read and used by nix. [1] ruby: http://gitorious.org/nixpkgs-ruby-overlay [2] python: http://gitorious.org/nixpkgs-python-overlay For ruby and Haskell I also have some code which can create package descriptions for dev versions of packages which then can be read by the code creating the derivations on the fly. And then there is stills the question: Is it efficient to download 40.000 package descriptions if you need only 10? The lazy behaviour of the native package managers for ruby (gem), python (eg pip) etc somehow make this question obsolete. Just think about how many perl packages there are available. Well - you don't have to download 40.000 packages, cabal2nix only dumps the

If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. make[2]: *** [dose3-3.1.2.tar.gz] Error 60 ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
[Nix-dev] upgrading `gcc-wrapper-4.7.2' to `gcc-wrapper-4.6.3'
Hello, I just installed NixOS yesterday so I'm quite new, but I did: # nix-channel --update # nix-env -u '*' And I got: upgrading `gcc-wrapper-4.7.2' to `gcc-wrapper-4.6.3' building path(s) `/nix/store/ff6a8q2wlyxhnfhx43b35h10b0gnlr31-user-environment' created 811 symlinks in user environment I'm curious why it is considered an upgrade to go from 4.7.2 to 4.6.3. Thanks, /M ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
