2011-11-23 * Add bzip2 and xz support to nix-copy-closure.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+17
2011-11-23 * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality ofEelco Dolstra10-38/+90
‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23 * build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+3
2011-11-22 * Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain toEelco Dolstra6-36/+46
libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-21 nix: add /etc/hosts with localhost entry to chroot builds.Rob Vermaas1-0/+3
2011-11-21 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-11-21 * Put back the "sys_name" variable which got removed somewhere. ThisEelco Dolstra1-1/+9
broke building on Cygwin and Solaris.
2011-11-21 * Escape the [ and ] characters in the sed call, otherwise autoconfEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
will eat them.
2011-11-20 * "sed" on FreeBSD doesn't know the "+" operator.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+1
2011-11-18 * In the platform, canonicalise "amd64" to "x86_64". FreeBSD 8.2'sEelco Dolstra1-0/+5
uname reports amd64. * Drop the FreeBSD version number, e.g. "i686-freebsd" instead of "i686-freebsd8.2".
2011-11-16 configure: Change i*86 to i686 as has always been done.Ludovic Courtès1-3/+10
2011-11-16 configure: Rely on `AC_CANONICAL_HOST' to determine the Nix system name.Ludovic Courtès1-30/+13
This should be more robust and also plays better with cross-compilation---it uses the host name, instead of using the build name.
2011-11-16 * nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don'tEelco Dolstra2-25/+7
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16 * Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This savesEelco Dolstra2-12/+9
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16 * Remove obsolete line.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2011-11-16 * Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cacheEelco Dolstra1-8/+12
DB. This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my system.
2011-11-07 * Boldly make SQLite WAL mode the default again. Hopefully theEelco Dolstra2-5/+4
intermittent problems are gone by now. WAL mode is preferrable because it does way fewer fsyncs.
2011-11-05 * Fix race condition in the test.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2011-11-05 * Fix the broken reference to bunzip2 in the channel unpack script.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+2
2011-11-03 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-11-03 * The Nix configuration file is usually /etc/nix/nix.conf.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-11-02 * Fix permission on /nix/store in the manual for multi-user installsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
(reported by Silvio Frischknecht).
2011-10-27 * In printValueAsXML, handle the case where a "type" attribute is notEelco Dolstra1-3/+6
a string. This happens in the NixOS option system. * Remove a bogus comparison of a unsigned integer with -1.
2011-10-19 * Print a consistent message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-10-18 * nix-copy-closure: support ‘--dry-run’ and ‘--include-outputs’.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+23
2011-10-11 * Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.Eelco Dolstra4-39/+36
2011-10-11 * Add a test for nix-copy-closure.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+57
2011-10-11 * Move the remote building test from the NixOS tree to the Nix tree.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+104
2011-10-11 * Move SSH.pm.Eelco Dolstra5-11/+8
2011-10-11 * Work around a race condition starting the Nix daemon.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+8
2011-10-11 * Set svn:ignore.Eelco Dolstra0-0/+0
2011-10-11 * Distribute GeneratePatches.pm.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+6
2011-10-10 * Set the executable bit on scripts.Eelco Dolstra14-0/+3
2011-10-10 * Refactoring: remove unnecessary variables from the tests.Eelco Dolstra33-235/+220
2011-10-10 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2011-10-10 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm underEelco Dolstra20-147/+108
the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10 * Hopefully perl-devel contains the required headers (untested).Eelco Dolstra2-1/+2
2011-10-10 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow theEelco Dolstra6-1/+186
bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
2011-09-17 * Don't assume that we want a shared Nix store.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-09-12 * Ouch. A store upgrade could cause a substituter to be triggered,Eelco Dolstra3-5/+6
causing a deadlock.
2011-09-06 bootstrap: Simplify & make more robust.Ludovic Courtès1-5/+1
2011-09-06 * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whetherEelco Dolstra5-7/+39
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-09-06 * Add some -f flags, never hurts.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2011-08-31 * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.Eelco Dolstra15-89/+95
This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-08-27 * Update the cleanup script.Eelco Dolstra3-8/+12
2011-08-17 * Use last_insert_id instead of sqlite_last_insert_rowid, which you'reEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
not really supposed to use according to the DBD::SQLite docs, and fails on some systems (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1246662).
2011-08-08 * On FreeBSD, ‘touch’ is not in the test $PATH, so don't use it.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2011-08-08 * Add perl-DBD-SQLite as a dependency of the RPM builds.Eelco Dolstra2-12/+14
2011-08-08 * Add DBD-SQLite as a dependency to the Debian/Ubuntu builds.Eelco Dolstra1-25/+23
* Drop some old Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu releases.
2011-08-06 * Cache the result of file evaluation (i.e, memoize evalFile()). ThisEelco Dolstra2-11/+22
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple times. For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times. Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).
