2012-11-06	Process binary caches in order of priority	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+25
	Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06	Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache format	Eelco Dolstra	2	-77/+341

2012-11-06	nix-push: Handle pushing a symlink	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2012-11-06	Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+14
	This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
2012-11-06	Fix "Not an ARRAY reference" error	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602). Ah well.
2012-11-06	canonicalizePathMetaData: Fall-back to utimes if lutimes fails due to ENOSYS	Shea Levy	1	-0/+2

2012-10-23	If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+10
	Fixes #57.
2012-10-23	nix-prefetch-url: Improve option handling	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+42

2012-10-23	prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path	Shea Levy	1	-1/+3

2012-10-18	nix-push: Add a flag ‘--manifest-path’ to write the manifest to another ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	directory
2012-10-17	nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files in the store, rather than copying them. This is faster and requires less disk space. However, it doesn't work if the store is on a different file system.
2012-10-17	nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist	Eelco Dolstra	6	-65/+107
	This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist in the binary cache.
2012-10-12	Typo	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Reported by Shea.
2012-10-11	download-from-binary-cache: Remove duplicate entries in trustedURLs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-11	Shorten the names of temporary build directories	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-10	Out-of-tree building of perl modules.	Mats Erik Andersson	2	-1/+2

2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra	5	-21/+27
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-04	XML writer: flush after newlines	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	This is useful for hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-04	Manual: Don't use a store path that actually exists	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3124130
2012-10-04	nix-store --verify: Continue on errors	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2012-10-04	Fix regular expression	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3123177
2012-10-03	Fix the tarball build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-03	Fix the test	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2012-10-03	Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon	Eelco Dolstra	15	-41/+49

2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra	6	-146/+9
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	Remove bin2c	Eelco Dolstra	7	-35/+4

2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra	25	-329/+51
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03	Document ‘--repair’	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+32

2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+9

2012-10-03	nix-build: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-03	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	11	-25/+36
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-10-03	Handle repairing paths that are in build-chroot-dirs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2012-10-03	When repairing a derivation, check and repair the entire output closure	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+91
	If we find a corrupted path in the output closure, we rebuild the derivation that produced that particular path.
2012-10-02	Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs	Eelco Dolstra	7	-64/+116
	With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt, it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by rebuilding the derivation. The latter may use hash rewriting if chroots are not available.
2012-10-02	nix-store -r: Get rid of an unnecessary call to buildPaths/ensurePaths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2012-10-02	nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all ↵	Eelco Dolstra	4	-11/+42
	missing/corrupt paths Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after verifying/repairing.
2012-10-02	Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’	Eelco Dolstra	8	-36/+151
	This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc.
2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+24

2012-09-28	Print a more descriptive error message if setting up the build environment fails	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+14

2012-09-27	Allow dashes in identifiers	Eelco Dolstra	4	-4/+9
	In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous.
2012-09-25	Add "on Linux" qualifier	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-09-25	Make the store writable before creating /nix/store/.links	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2012-09-25	Document that Nix requires GNU Make	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	Fixes #44.
2012-09-25	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+29

2012-09-25	Merge branch 'readonly-store'	Eelco Dolstra	14	-135/+106

2012-09-25	Include <sys/types.h> for off_t	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Reported by "gio" on IRC.
2012-09-21	Style fix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+6

2012-09-19	Support xz compression in the download-using-manifests substituter	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+21

2012-09-19	Remove setting of the immutable bit	Eelco Dolstra	5	-96/+35
	Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with store optimisation. For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we don't know the remaining paths. So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit. Unfortunately, we have to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards compatibility.
2012-09-19	Support having /nix/store as a read-only bind mount	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+41
	It turns out that the immutable bit doesn't work all that well. A better way is to make the entire Nix store a read-only bind mount, i.e. by doing $ mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store $ mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store (This would typically done in an early boot script, before anything from /nix/store is used.) Since Nix needs to be able to write to the Nix store, it now detects if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount and then makes it writable in a private mount namespace.
