* guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-less-loaded?, machine-faster?):
Remove.
(machine-power-factor): New procedure.
(machine-less-loaded-or-faster?): Use it.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/18115>.
Reported by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (register-gc-root)[script]: Wrap 'symlink'
call in "catch 'system-error", and ignore EEXIST errors.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/18070>.
Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (remote-pipe): Augment docstring.
(machine-load): Return +inf.0 instead of 1 if MACHINE does not respond
or responds badly.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (read-operating-system) <catch handler>: Add
case for 'syntax-error'. Correct message for default case.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (build-machines) <catch handler>: Add case
for 'syntax-error'.
* tests/guix-system.sh: New file.
* Makefile.am (SH_TESTS): Add it.
Fixes situations where the remote 'guix build' is invoked before the
.drv has been completely copied, as reported at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-04/msg00174.html>.
In some cases 'send-files' would return before the other end is done
importing the files, and so the subsequent 'guix build' invocation would
just miss the .drv file it refers to.
* guix/utils.scm (call-with-decompressed-port): Don't close PORT.
(call-with-compressed-output-port): Likewise.
* tests/utils.scm ("compressed-output-port + decompressed-port"): Adjust
accordingly.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (send-files): Add explicit (close-pipe pipe)
call.
(retrieve-files): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (remove-gc-root): Rename to...
(remove-gc-roots): ... this.
[builder]: Use 'scandir' and remove all the files starting with
%GC-ROOT-FILE.
(transfer-and-offload): Adjust to renaming; remove
'false-if-exception' wraps.
Before that, there was a small time window during which the GC could
wipe the .drv (before 'guix build' has been called), or the build
result (before 'retrieve-files' has started.)
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (remote-pipe): Add #:quote? parameter and
honor it.
(%gc-root-file): New variable.
(register-gc-root, remove-gc-root): New procedures.
(offload): Adjust comment. Run 'guix build' with '-r %GC-ROOT-FILE'.
(transfer-and-offload): Call 'register-gc-root' before
sending (derivation-file-name DRV). Call 'remove-gc-root' after the
call to 'offload' or 'retrieve-files'.
(send-files): Call 'remote-pipe' with #:quote? #f.
(retrieve-files): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (transfer-and-offload): Use 'upload' lock
instead of 'bandwidth' around 'send-files' calls, and 'download' lock
around 'retrieve-files' call.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (remote-pipe): Remove '-z' lsh command line
argument. This makes transfers almost an order of magnitude slower.
OpenSSH's ssh(1) man page notes: "Compression is desirable on modem lines
and other slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast
networks." See also
<http://www.spikelab.org/blog/transfer-largedata-scp-tarssh-tarnc-compared.html>.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (with-error-to-port): New macro.
(remote-pipe): Add #:error-port parameter. Use 'with-error-to-port'
around 'open-pipe*' call.
(build-log-port): New procedure.
(offload): Change #:log-port to default to (build-log-port). Call
'remote-pipe' with #:error-port LOG-PORT.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (offload): Remove default value for
'build-timeout'. Pass '--timeout' to the remote 'guix build'
process.
(transfer-and-offload, process-request): Remove default value for
'build-timeout'.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (transfer-and-offload): New procedure, with
core formerly in 'process-request'.
(choose-build-machine): Remove 'requirements' parameter.
(process-request): Reply 'decline' when none of MACHINES matches the
requirements, and 'postpone' when MACHINES are busy.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-choice-lock-file,
machine-slot-file, acquire-build-slot, release-build-slot): New
procedures.
(choose-build-machine): Operate with (machine-choice-lock-file)
taken. Acquire a build slot for each of MACHINES. Release those not
used.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (lock-machine, unlock-machine): Remove.
(lock-file, unlock-file): New procedures.
(with-file-lock): New macro.
(with-machine-lock): Rewrite in terms of 'with-file-lock'.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-lock-file, lock-machine,
unlock-machine): New procedures.
(with-machine-lock): New macro.
(process-request): Wrap 'send-files' and 'retrieve-files' calls in
'with-machine-lock'.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-load, machine-less-loaded?,
machine-less-loaded-or-faster?): New procedures.
(choose-build-machine): Use 'machine-less-loaded-or-faster?' when
sorting. Return the head of MACHINES unless it's loaded is >= 2.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (offload): Add 'log-port' keyword parameter.
Handle log display here. Return the result of (close-pipe pipe).
(process-request): Adjust 'offload' call site accordingly. Call
'retrieve-files' only when 'offload' returns zero; exit when 'offload'
returns non-zero.
* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (GUIX_OPT_NO_BUILD_HOOK): New macro.
(options): Add '--no-build-hook'.
(parse_opt): Handle it.
(main)[HAVE_DAEMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK]: Set 'useBuildHook' by default.
Set $NIX_BUILD_HOOK to our offload hook unless otherwise specified.
[!HAVE_DAEMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK]: Clear 'useBuildHook'.
* pre-inst-env.in: Set and export NIX_BUILD_HOOK.
* nix/scripts/offload.in, guix/scripts/offload.scm: New files.
* guix/ui.scm (show-guix-help)[internal?]: Add "offload".
* config-daemon.ac: Call 'GUIX_CHECK_UNBUFFERED_CBIP'.
Instantiate 'nix/scripts/offload'. Set 'BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD'
conditional, and optionally define 'HAVE_DEAMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK' cpp
macro.
* daemon.am (nodist_pkglibexec_SCRIPTS)[BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD]: Add it.
* Makefile.am (MODULES)[BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD]: Add
'guix/scripts/offload.scm'.
(EXTRA_DIST)[!BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD]: Likewise.
* m4/guix.m4 (GUIX_CHECK_UNBUFFERED_CBIP): New macro.
* doc/guix.texi (Setting Up the Daemon): Move most of the body to...
(Build Environment Setup): ... this. New subsection.
(Daemon Offload Setup): New subsection.
