2008-12-04 * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: theEelco Dolstra2-10/+24
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even succeed.
2008-12-03 * addToStore() in nix-worker: don't write the NAR dump received fromEelco Dolstra3-25/+85
the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient.

2008-12-03 * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the pathEelco Dolstra2-35/+29
being copied 3 times in the worst case. It doesn't run in constant space, but it didn't do that anyway.
2008-12-03 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursiveEelco Dolstra12-79/+191
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce the same store path: $ nix-store --add x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x the latter being the same as the path that a derivation derivation { name = "x"; outputHashAlgo = "sha256"; outputHashMode = "recursive"; outputHash = "..."; ... }; produces. This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations. Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.) * Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

2008-11-20 * Blindly doing a replacement of occurences of $bindir (when runningEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
the tests) is a bad idea when $bindir = /usr and some programs (like perl) live there. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be needed anymore.
2008-11-20 * Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the AutoconfEelco Dolstra3-11/+12
default of /usr/local. However, localstatedir and storedir are set to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're explicitly overriden.

2008-11-19 * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as aEelco Dolstra2-1/+23
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string. Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't be copied to the remote machine.)

2008-11-18 * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.Eelco Dolstra8-298/+7
2008-11-14 * Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped oneEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
zombie at a time, so if multiple children died before the handler got to run, some of them would not be cleaned up.
2008-11-14 * Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This preventsEelco Dolstra1-0/+13
subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes either barf with a "Broken pipe" message or not, depending on the exact timing conditions. This particularly happened in GNU M4 (and Bison, which uses M4).

2008-10-29 * Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk ofEelco Dolstra4-10/+15
disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts. Will try the definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time.
2008-10-16 libstore: Always mount `/dev/pts' individually.Ludovic Courtès1-0/+5
This fixes problems such as Tcl's PTY handling: ERROR: The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
2008-10-16 * Bug fix for building on some old installations (contributed by Pjotr).Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2008-09-18 * Fix `--from-profile'.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+5
2008-09-17 * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the lastEelco Dolstra4-7/+24
accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t, e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to convert to time_t from the command line. Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two months: $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
2008-09-17 * Typo.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
