2012-03-01 Fix an uninitialised variableEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
The variable ‘useChroot’ was not initialised properly. This caused random failures if using the build hook. Seen on Mac OS X 10.7 with Clang. Thanks to KolibriFX for finding this :-)
2012-02-18 Fix chroots buildsEelco Dolstra1-0/+16
Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to the chroot. This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set, because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files. So temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the chroot. Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’. So maybe we should only make directories immutable.
2012-02-15 On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bitEelco Dolstra7-8/+130
I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr +i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable bit before creating the link.
2012-02-15 Fix a broken guard around utime()Eelco Dolstra1-2/+5
Because of an outdated check for a timestamp of 0, we were calling utime() even when it wasn't necessary.
2012-02-15 Don't use deletePath() to delete a single fileEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2012-02-09 Fix error messageEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
This fixes the error message error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
2012-02-09 Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriateEelco Dolstra9-18/+18
2012-02-08 Update .gitignoreEelco Dolstra1-108/+9
2012-02-08 Remove empty ChangeLog fileEelco Dolstra1-0/+0
2012-02-08 Set the versionSuffix to include the Git shortrevEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2012-02-07 * Build Nix for the latest Fedora and Ubuntu releases (and drop someEelco Dolstra1-4/+6
old ones).
2012-02-04 * Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection throughEelco Dolstra7-116/+94
EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-02-04 * Print elapsed evaluation time.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+9
2012-02-02 * nix-channel: fail if we don't have write permission to the manifestsEelco Dolstra1-13/+7
directory. Previously in this situation we did add the Nix expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing error messages.
2012-01-26 * Fix importing a derivation. This gave a segfault.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+23
2012-01-26 * Add a test for importing derivations.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+37
2012-01-19 * Allow comparisons between derivations by comparing the outPathEelco Dolstra1-2/+14
attributes.
2012-01-19 * Add some debug output to print the derivation name once it's known.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
This makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a crash.
2012-01-19 * Add a test case for comparing derivations.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+11
2012-01-18 * Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2012-01-18 * Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a rather unhelpful error message: Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter expects.
2012-01-17 * Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out theEelco Dolstra2-0/+39
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-13 * nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporaryEelco Dolstra3-52/+25
directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
2012-01-12 * ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension onEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.
2012-01-11 tests: Run `download-using-manifests' via libtool so that dlopening works.Ludovic Courtès3-1/+8
2012-01-11 perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'.Ludovic Courtès1-1/+2
2012-01-11 * Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+7
2012-01-07 * Don't create thunks for simple constants (integers, strings, paths)Eelco Dolstra5-133/+193
and allocate them only once. * Move Value and related functions into value.hh.
2012-01-05 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2012-01-05 * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some otherEelco Dolstra7-11/+15
scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-04 * Remove dead code.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+0
2012-01-04 * Don't use dynamic_cast, it's very slow. "nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra3-24/+23
/etc/nixos/nixos -A system" spent about 10% of its time in dynamic_cast.
2012-01-04 * Merge the multiple-outputs-sandbox branch (svn merge --reintegrateEelco Dolstra21-125/+343
^/nix/branches/multiple-outputs-sandbox). Multiple output support still isn't complete, but it wasn't complete in the trunk either, so it doesn't hurt.
2012-01-04 * Check whether the outputName attribute works.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-01-04 * Let --disable-gc work.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-01-04 * currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporalEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
aspect.
2012-01-04 * Export the original input attributes of the derivation inEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
‘drvAttrs’. This will simplify the implementation of functions such as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04 * Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out theEelco Dolstra1-18/+11
common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc. Note that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs" attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of outputs. This seems more user-friendly.
2012-01-03 * Drop the inefficient "Path" suffix in output attribute names.Eelco Dolstra2-7/+5
2012-01-03 * Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separateEelco Dolstra4-26/+35
file.
2012-01-03 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra35-243/+242
2012-01-03 * Ignore missing manifest symlinks.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-01-03 * FreeBSD tar defaults to the tape device instead of stdout.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2012-01-03 * Forgot to add.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+13
2012-01-03 * Add a test for nix-channel.Eelco Dolstra13-75/+103
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03 * Use Nix::Config.Eelco Dolstra4-22/+15
2012-01-03 * Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and someEelco Dolstra15-84/+52
other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-12-30 * Follow our own coding conventions.Eelco Dolstra3-65/+61
2011-12-30 * Remove a redundant dot (Nicolas Pierron).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-12-30 * Support multiple outputs in nix-store (specifically the ‘--query’Eelco Dolstra1-43/+63
and ‘--realise’ actions).
