2008-12-03 | * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -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 recursive | Eelco Dolstra | 12 | -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). | |||||
2008-11-29 | * Install the release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -1/+6 | |
2008-11-26 | * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -27/+81 | |
2008-11-25 | * Ignore carriage returns. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+1 | |
2008-11-25 | * Handle prematurely ended logfiles, i.e. make sure we emit enough | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -5/+17 | |

2008-11-20 | * Blindly doing a replacement of occurences of $bindir (when running | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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 Autoconf | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -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. | |||||
2008-11-20 | * Nix daemon: reload the configuration file after forking (NIX-100). | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -1/+14 | |
2008-11-20 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
2008-11-19 | * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -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.) | |||||
2008-11-19 | * Patterns. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -31/+73 | |

2008-11-19 | * Updated the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+134 | |
2008-11-19 | * Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+5 | |
and don't indicate path validity. | |||||
2008-11-19 | * nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
2008-11-19 | * Documented some of the sharing mechanisms. | Eelco Dolstra | 7 | -5/+144 | |
2008-11-19 | * Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix). | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -10/+13 | |
2008-11-19 | * Removed obsolete option. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -19/+0 | |
2008-11-19 | * Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of the | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -143/+17 | |
troubleshooting section. W00t. | |||||
2008-11-19 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -18/+138 | |
2008-11-18 | * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant. | Eelco Dolstra | 8 | -298/+7 | |
2008-11-14 | * Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped one | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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 prevents | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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). | |||||
2008-11-12 | * Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -7/+71 | |
build progress. | |||||
2008-11-11 | * Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -1/+5 | |
2008-11-11 | * Add /dev/pts to the default nix.conf. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -9/+8 | |
2008-11-11 | * Typo. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2008-10-29 | * Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -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 Courtès | 1 | -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 Dolstra | 1 | -0/+6 | |
2008-09-18 | * Fix `--from-profile'. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+5 | |
2008-09-17 | * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -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 Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2008-09-17 | * Some refactoring. Better output with `-v' for --use-atime. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -35/+40 | |
2008-09-17 | * nix-store --gc / --delete: show how many store paths were deleted. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
2008-09-17 | * Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -56/+222 | |
order of ascending last access time. This is useful in conjunction with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage may become live again. The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the priority queue in collectGarbage(). | |||||
2008-09-08 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2008-09-02 | * When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+9 | |
attributes from the meta attribute. Not doing so caused nix-env to barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute, the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory. Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings. meta.function should be passthru.function. | |||||
2008-08-29 | * Extend the ATerm suppressions to 64-bit. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+44 | |
