2006-11-30	* Skeleton of remote store implementation.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-6/+14

2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra	11	-48/+31

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra	17	-338/+458
	containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
2006-11-30	* Benchmarking Unix domain sockets.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+121

2006-11-30	* Troubleshooting information on fixing a b0rked Berkeley DB database.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+45

2006-11-29	* Don't spam.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-11-29	* Example script to set permissions for setuid operation.	Roy van den Broek	2	-1/+10

2006-11-29	* Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-61/+53
	Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries.
2006-11-24	* Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+28
	(NIX-70)
2006-11-24	* Dead files.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-12/+0

2006-11-18	* Show more progress.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-11-18	* Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3
	gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard input/output. (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).) For instance, `nix-store --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a certain input. Another victory for Valgrind.
2006-11-14	* Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-11-14	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-11-14	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-11-14	* Use the patched ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-892/+5

2006-11-14	* Push.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-11-13	* Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessary	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+12
	now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy.
2006-11-13	* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references	Eelco Dolstra	3	-21/+65
	graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible).
2006-11-13	* Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We need	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+22
	this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents.
2006-11-13	* Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-11-07	* Fix the locking patch for Berkeley DB 4.5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-11-03	* Fix importing of derivation outputs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9

2006-10-31	* Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-30	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14

2006-10-30	* readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2006-10-28	* Don't use EPSV.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-28	* `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if	Eelco Dolstra	5	-4/+60
	available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) \| less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-26	* Typo reported by Arie Middelkoop.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+4
	* Left out close-quote in example.
2006-10-23	* Some better error messages.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+12

2006-10-19	* Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it is more than four years	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	old...
2006-10-19	* Checks for allowedReferences and some other features.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+100
	* Use nix-build in a test.
2006-10-19	* Better message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-19	* toFile: maintain the references.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+4

2006-10-19	* nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6

2006-10-19	* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+31
	check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though.
2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+8

2006-10-17	* Print out the offending path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-10-17	* An awful backwards compatibility hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+24

2006-10-17	* baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-17	* Maintain the references for the user environment properly.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-17	* Another test.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-10-17	* Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), and	Eelco Dolstra	19	-22/+22
	the semantic changes.
2006-10-17	* toPath: should be the identity on paths.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2006-10-17	* dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2006-10-17	* toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17	* Do the path check on the normal form.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5

2006-10-17	* Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6

2006-10-16	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string	Eelco Dolstra	17	-391/+326
	concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
