2007-04-16	* Remove a warning.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-04-16	* It seems that svnversion prints a carriage return on Cygwin, so we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	get a invalid #define VERSION. Use "svnversion -n" to leave out the newline. Fix provided by Marc Weber.
2007-03-30	* Work around a bug in Apple's GCC preprocessor.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+5

2007-03-30	* Make the maximum patch size configurable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+9

2007-03-28	* Handle ECONNRESET from the client. Also, don't abort() if there are	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+9
	unexpected conditions in the SIGPOLL handler, since that messes up the Berkeley DB environment (which a client must never be able to trigger).
2007-03-27	* Forgot a @bindir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-03-26	* `nix-copy-closure --from': copy from a remote machine instead of to	Eelco Dolstra	2	-12/+67
	a remote machine.
2007-03-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-35/+53

2007-03-21	* Fix URL/description.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2007-03-20	* Override the setuid helper using NIX_SETUID_HELPER.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+5

2007-03-20	* Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+17
	modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
2007-03-19	* Terminate build hooks and substitutes with a TERM signal, not a KILL	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+27
	signal. This is necessary because those processes may have joined the BDB environment, so they have to be given a chance to clean up. (NIX-85)
2007-03-19	* Undocumented option `gc-check-reachability' to allow reachability	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9
	checking to be turned off on machines with way too many roots.
2007-03-13	* Remove old generations in all directories under	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+15
	/nix/var/nix/profiles, not just in that directory itself. (NixOS puts profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user.)
2007-03-07	* Delete the output paths before invoking the build hook.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+14

2007-03-01	* Get rid of those stupid --login tricks, it's the responsibility of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	the remote system to make sure that Nix is in the $PATH.
2007-03-01	* sh -> bash.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-03-01	* Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+6
	openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2007-03-01	* Don't check the signature unless we have to.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+23

2007-02-27	* Doh! The deriver can be empty.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-02-27	* Greatly reduced the amount of stack space used by the Nix expression	Eelco Dolstra	1	-188/+274
	evaluator. This was important because the NixOS expressions started to hit 2 MB default stack size on Linux. GCC is really dumb about stack space: it just adds up all the local variables and temporaries of every scope into one huge stack frame. This is really bad for deeply recursive functions. For instance, every `throw Error(format("error message"))' causes a format object of a few hundred bytes to be allocated on the stack. As a result, every recursive call to evalExpr2() consumed 4680 bytes. By splitting evalExpr2() and by moving the exception-throwing code out of the main functions, evalExpr2() now only consumes 40 bytes. Similar for evalExpr().
2007-02-27	* When NIX_SHOW_STATS=1, show the amount of stack space consumed by	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	the Nix expression evaluator.
2007-02-26	* Error message to stdout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-02-22	* Handle EINTR in select().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2007-02-22	* /man -> /share/man	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2007-02-22	* nix-copy-closure: force a login shell on the remote machine to make	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+11
	sure that nix-store is in the PATH. * nix-copy-closure: option --gzip to compress data.
2007-02-22	* nix-copy-closure: option --sign.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+20
	* nix-copy-closure: set SSH options through NIX_SSHOPTS..
2007-02-21	* New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+58
	another machine through ssh. E.g., $ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn) copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'. This is like `nix-pack-closure $(which svn) \| ssh xyzzy', but it's much more efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the target machine.
2007-02-21	* Flush cout to show progress.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-02-21	* Export/import many paths in one go.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2007-02-21	* `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically	Eelco Dolstra	3	-40/+12
	under the references relation. This is useful for commands that want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21	* Flag `--print-invalid' in `nix-store --check-validity' to print out	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+14
	which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it). This is useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be copied to a remote machine. (Currently we use rsync, but that's rather inefficient.)
2007-02-21	* Check that the file containing the secret key is secret.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+14

2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker	Eelco Dolstra	4	-9/+62
	always requires a signature on the archive. This is to ensure that unprivileged users cannot add Trojan horses to the Nix store.
2007-02-21	* Support exportPath() in remote mode.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-5/+42

2007-02-21	* importPath(): set the deriver.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+13
	* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	8	-10/+142
	--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub. (TODO: verify against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key	Eelco Dolstra	8	-31/+124
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21	* Don't use $SHELL.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+2

2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	6	-0/+50
	path. This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the meta-information of the store path (references, deriver). Will add a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a secure manner.
2007-02-20	* Temporary notes on how we're going to use OpenSSL.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+24

2007-02-20	* Close the file - just in case.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2007-02-06	* Fix 64-bit compiler warnings.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+4

2007-02-05	* Compatibility with docbook5-xsl.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-7/+8

2007-02-02	* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation	Eelco Dolstra	6	-16/+105
	attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information not only on available packages but also on installed packages. * nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has access to the meta attributes. * New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example: $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4
2007-01-29	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2007-01-29	* computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when	Eelco Dolstra	5	-6/+18
	computing the store path (NIX-77). This is an important security property in multi-user Nix stores. Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).
2007-01-29	* Don't capitalise the primop functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-76/+81

2007-01-29	* Organise primops.cc a bit better.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-321/+376

2007-01-29	New primitives:	Eelco Dolstra	8	-6/+88
	* `sub' to subtract two numbers. * `stringLength' to get the length of a string. * `substring' to get a substring of a string. These should be enough to allow most string operations to be expressed.
