2013-02-27	Refactoring: Split off the non-recursive canonicalisePathMetaData()	Eelco Dolstra	3	-37/+52
	Also, change the file mode before changing the owner. This prevents a slight time window in which a setuid binary would be setuid root.

2013-02-26	Security: Don't allow builders to change permissions on files they don't own	Eelco Dolstra	5	-20/+17
	It turns out that in multi-user Nix, a builder may be able to do ln /etc/shadow $out/foo Afterwards, canonicalisePathMetaData() will be applied to $out/foo, causing /etc/shadow's mode to be set to 444 (readable by everybody but writable by nobody). That's obviously Very Bad. Fortunately, this fails in NixOS's default configuration because /nix/store is a bind mount, so "ln" will fail with "Invalid cross-device link". It also fails if hard-link restrictions are enabled, so a workaround is: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks The solution is to check that all files in $out are owned by the build user. This means that innocuous operations like "ln ${pkgs.foo}/some-file $out/" are now rejected, but that already failed in chroot builds anyway.

	‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.

2013-02-08	Document ‘hashString’	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+26

2013-02-08	Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+7
	Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like exec = "${./my-script} params..."; to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation: exec = ./my-script + " params..."; By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as expected: exec = " ${./my-script} params..."; Now the first example also evaluates to a string.

2013-01-17	Store build logs in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<XX>	Eelco Dolstra	2	-30/+37
	...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation. Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences. For instance, ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551: Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.
2013-01-07	Bump version number to 1.4	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-01-05	Delete a left-over trash directory before doing a GC	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2013-01-03	Open the database after removing immutable bits	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-01-03	Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store	Eelco Dolstra	10	-89/+76
	Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.

2012-12-21	download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than ↵	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+9
	root This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon) installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user" is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.
2012-12-21	Typo fix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-12-20	nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings	Eelco Dolstra	9	-25/+64
	So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store -q --roots’ now shows that root.
2012-12-20	Yet another rewrite of the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	2	-131/+138
	But this time it's obviously correct! No more segfaults due to infinite recursions for sure, etc. Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to /nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>. Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at the end.
2012-12-20	Give a better error message if writeFile fails due to permission issues	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-12-19	If gc-keep-derivations is set, only keep the actual deriver	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle that can occur with fixed-output derivations).
2012-12-19	Kill the build hook rather than shutting it down cleanly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+1
	Waiting for the hook to shut down cleanly sometimes seems to lead to hangs.

	This reverts commit cc511fd65b7b6de9e87e72fb4bed16fc7efeb8b7.

	Fixes issue #70.
2012-12-11	On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+7
	If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.
