2012-04-06	Add a missing DocBook source file to the tarball	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Reported on IRC by Adrian Siekierka.
2012-04-05	On Linux, pretend we're building on Linux 2.6	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	Setting the UNAME26 personality causes "uname" to return "2.6.x", regardless of the kernel version. This improves determinism in a few misbehaved packages.
2012-04-04	nix-generate-patches: Optionally write new patches to $NIX_ALL_PATCHES	Hydra mirror	1	-0/+10

2012-04-04	Include --keep-going in --help	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+4

2012-04-04	Follow redirects when checking for the existence of MANIFEST.bz2	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	If we don't follow redirects, we might think that MANIFEST.bz2 exists just because the HEAD request succeeds on the redirector URI.
2012-03-27	Update "nix-build --help"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6

2012-03-27	Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all dependencies to be built. For instance, if we want to do "--run-env" on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built. So we can do: $ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball' This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball" regular expression. The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number of times.
2012-03-27	Allow the command executed by "nix-build --run-env" to be overriden with ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	--command
2012-03-26	Mac OS X fix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2012-03-26	Delete non-directory valid paths right away	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+27
	It's unlikely that rename() is faster than unlink() on a regular file or symlink, so don't bother.
2012-03-26	Make the garbage collector more concurrent	Eelco Dolstra	3	-21/+48
	Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock. This should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked, since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in the GC. To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock. This ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly) valid or locked path.
2012-03-26	Remove the --max-links GC option	Eelco Dolstra	7	-30/+3
	We don't need this anymore now that current filesystems support more than 32,000 files in a directory.
2012-03-20	nix-store --clear-failed-paths: Clear derivation outputs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	If the argument to ‘nix-store --clear-failed-paths’ is a derivation, then clear the failed state of its outputs.
2012-03-19	Fix the coverage build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2012-03-19	Fix the Deb builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-03-19	Fix the RPM	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7

2012-03-19	Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+72
	This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise the environment further. The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree. Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of $PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup. Example session: $ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm (the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...) $ tar xf $src $ ./configure $ make $ emacs (... hack source ...) $ make $ ./xterm
2012-03-19	Replace "make check" with "make installcheck"	Eelco Dolstra	8	-46/+25
	Ensuring that the tests work from the build tree requires a growing number of nasty hacks. The tests also don't verify that the installed Nix actually works. Thus, the tests now require "make install" to have been run.
2012-03-19	Fix the optional dependency on OpenSSL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2306540
2012-03-18	Drop the externals directory	Eelco Dolstra	12	-181/+66
	Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so depending on SQLite is not a big problem. The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.
2012-03-18	Clean up when building from a working tree	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6

2012-03-13	Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory	Eelco Dolstra	4	-17/+12
	By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit. This prevents them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.
2012-03-12	Fix tests	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+7

2012-03-06	Update bzip2 dependency	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2012-03-05	Fix compilation on FreeBSD	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2213576 Not sure why compilation doesn't fail on other platforms...
2012-03-05	nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05	Set the close-on-exec flag on file descriptors	Eelco Dolstra	5	-3/+20

2012-03-05	Don't leak a file descriptor in commonChildInit()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-03-05	nix-worker: put the pid of the caller in argv[1]	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+25
	This is useful for debugging.
2012-03-05	Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+2

2012-03-05	build-remote.pl: don't wait forever for the upload lock	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+17
	In the build hook, don't wait forever to get the upload lock. This ensures progress if another process gets stuck while holding the upload lock.
2012-03-01	Remove dependency on sqlite3_table_column_metadata	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0
	Not all SQLite builds have the function sqlite3_table_column_metadata. We were only using it in a schema upgrade check for compatibility with databases that were probably never seen in the wild. So remove it.
2012-03-01	Fix an uninitialised variable	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 bit	Eelco Dolstra	7	-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 Dolstra	1	-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 file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-02-09	Fix error message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	This fixes the error message error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
