2005-01-13 | * Added SHA-1 support. `nix-hash' now has an option `--type sha1' to | Eelco Dolstra | 9 | -26/+487 | |
select SHA-1 hashing. | |||||
2005-01-13 | * Refactoring to support SHA-1. | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -18/+36 | |
2005-01-12 | * Bump version number to 0.8. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2005-01-12 | * Script to remove patches from manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+19 | |
2005-01-12 | * Print out less garbage. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+10 | |
2005-01-12 | * NEWS and manual update for release 0.7. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -1/+41 | |
2005-01-05 | * Prototype store optimiser. It searched the Nix store for identical | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+69 | |
files and hard-links them to each other to save disk space. Currently it doesn't actually do the hard-linking, it just reports the amount of space saved if it did. | |||||
2005-01-04 | * Cygwin compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -2/+3 | |
2004-12-31 | * Remove old stuff. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -59/+0 | |
2004-12-31 | * If a patch already exists, it must still be included in the manifest. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+10 | |
2004-12-30 | * More instrumentation (statistics go to /nix/var/log/nix/downloads). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+6 | |
2004-12-30 | * Fix handling of chained patches: don't skip patches if intermediate | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -13/+20 | |
paths are missing, etc. | |||||
2004-12-30 | * Some logging for evaluation. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+16 | |
2004-12-29 | * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -18/+68 | |
distribution insofar they are applicable. | |||||
2004-12-29 | * Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from | Eelco Dolstra | 9 | -1/+817 | |
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source tree. The license is a bit peculiar, but it does allow verbatim copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes to the sources). | |||||
2004-12-29 | * Reject patches larger than the full archives they produce. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+12 | |
2004-12-29 | * Atomic file replacement is good. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+14 | |
2004-12-29 | * A utility to generate patches between releases based on their | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -25/+249 | |
manifests. | |||||
2004-12-29 | * Use aterm 2.3.1. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
2004-12-28 | * A small utility to add the Size and NarHash fields to old manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+53 | |
2004-12-28 | * Added a function to write manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -41/+86 | |
2004-12-20 | * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 12 | -79/+35 | |
* Use the new patch downloader. | |||||
2004-12-20 | * Sync with changed substitute mechanism. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -6/+11 | |
* Accept the NarHash line. * Clear substitutes in `nix-channel --update'. | |||||
2004-12-20 | * I love test sets. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -18/+21 | |
2004-12-20 | * An operation `nix-store --clear-substitutes' to remove all | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+35 | |
registered substitute mappings. | |||||
2004-12-20 | * Simplify the substitute mechanism: | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -122/+42 | |
- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you register a substitute you are responsible for registering the expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage collector. - Drop the substitutes-rev DB table. | |||||
2004-12-17 | * Typo: genericBuilder -> genericBuild. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2004-12-16 | * Fix nix-pull. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -11/+14 | |
2004-12-16 | * Commit old changed to bdiff.sh - but bdiff.sh is obsolete. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -14/+26 | |
2004-12-16 | * Remove `prebuilts.conf' file, it's not like anybody was using it. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -19/+5 | |
* Add /nix/var/nix/manifests directory. | |||||
2004-12-13 | * Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing the | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -9/+23 | |
cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the path (necessary for checking patch applicability). | |||||
2004-12-13 | * Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -34/+323 | |
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests. Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be used to construct the target path. In particular, patches can be chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible). A shortest path algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded (the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine taking the network speed to the various source into account). Patches are binary deltas between two store paths. To be precise, they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store paths. The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled automatically. The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation of unchanged files (by hard-linking). | |||||
2004-12-13 | * Allow an optional hash to be provided. This prevents redundant | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -20/+26 | |
fetches. | |||||
2004-11-29 | * Print out statistics comparing our performance to bzip2. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+20 | |
2004-11-29 | * utime() follows symlinks, so don't change the mtime if the file is a | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+8 | |
symlink. | |||||
2004-11-29 | * Proof-of-concept for binary patch deployment. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+31 | |
2004-11-29 | * Remove debug statement. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+0 | |
2004-11-29 | * Canonicalise metadata of all files in store paths (set the mtime to | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+58 | |
0, set the mode to either 444 or 555, set the group to the default). | |||||
2004-11-14 | * Bump version number to 0.7. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2004-11-14 | * More manual fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -38/+35 | |
2004-11-14 | * Manual fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -51/+50 | |
2004-11-12 | * Document --delete-generations and other nix-env options. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+82 | |
2004-11-12 | * Document --eval-only and --parse-only options in nix-instantiate. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -2/+40 | |

2004-11-07 | * Documented the standard environment, including the generic builder. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+250 | |
2004-11-07 | * Everything you always wanted to know about functions and derivations | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -4/+203 | |
but were afraid to ask. | |||||
