2005-03-14 * Prefix hash algorithm in patch generator too.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+9
2005-03-14 * Set NAR name to content hash; previous nix-push names were notEelco Dolstra3-26/+16
unique. * Drop `hashAlgo' attribute in manifests; prefix hashes with the hash algorithm instead.
2005-03-14 * Script to garbage collect nix-push directories. It prints out allEelco Dolstra1-0/+75
file names in the directory not included in any of the manifests specified on the command line.
2005-03-11 * Preliminary NEWS for 0.8.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+142
2005-03-11 * nix-install-package: install outPath, not drvPath, for now.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+3
* nix-prefecth-url: print out in base-16.
2005-03-10 * Check for duplicate attributes and formal parameters in NixEelco Dolstra7-1/+93
expressions.
2005-03-07 * In the checker, do traversals of the dependency graph explicitly. AEelco Dolstra2-45/+152
conditional expression in the blacklist can specify when to continue/stop a traversal. For example, in <condition> <within> <traverse> <not><hasAttr name='outputHash' value='.+' /></not> </traverse> <hasAttr name='outputHash' value='ef1cb003448b4a53517b8f25adb12452' /> </within> </condition> we traverse the dependency graph, not following the dependencies of `fetchurl' derivations (as indicated by the presence of an `outputHash' attribute - this is a bit ugly). The resulting set of paths is scanned for a fetch of a file with the given hash, in this case, the hash of zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz (which has a security bug). The intent is that a dependency on zlib is not a problem if it is in a `fetchurl' derivation, since that's build-time only. (Other build-time uses of zlib *might* be a problem, e.g., static linking.)
2005-03-07 * Use XML::LibXML.Eelco Dolstra2-41/+87
2005-03-07 * Automatically add propagated build inputs to user environments.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+15
Maybe this is a bad idea.
2005-03-04 * Basic blacklist checker. Each element in a user environment isEelco Dolstra2-3/+122
checked against every item in a blacklist.
2005-03-03 * Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer.Eelco Dolstra2-47/+17
2005-03-03 * Channel fix.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-03-03 * Increase Berkeley DB limits a bit more.Eelco Dolstra2-7/+26
* Maintain the cleanup invariant in clearSubstitutes().
2005-03-02 * Concept for a simple blacklist.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+48
2005-03-02 * `nix-store -q --hash' to quickly query the hash of the contents of aEelco Dolstra3-6/+28
store path (which is stored in the database).
2005-03-01 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-03-01 * Add missing file to dist.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2005-03-01 * Use a weighted use heuristic to disambiguate between multipleEelco Dolstra1-8/+77
occurances of a component. If the shortest path distance between a component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2. This expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby uses. For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses, but they are further away), and between the GCC of the final stdenv and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).
2005-02-28 * Added a disambiguation heuristic: if two components have the sameEelco Dolstra2-4/+24
name but differ to much in sice (by more than a factor of 3), then never generate a patch.
2005-02-25 * Add a version number to manifests.Eelco Dolstra3-2/+16
2005-02-25 * Pause if errors occur.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-02-25 * nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generatedEelco Dolstra1-21/+34
by the build farm. See e.g., http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/; the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with `nix-install-package'). Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be added to the user environment. This makes these packages independent from Nix expression evolution. Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for maintenance. * Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.
2005-02-24 * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read itEelco Dolstra4-13/+31
too. * Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather unlikely there).
2005-02-24 * (Unnecessary) refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-29/+36
2005-02-23 * When multiple derivations are specified in `nix-store -r', don'tEelco Dolstra1-62/+50
continue building when one fails unless `--keep-going' is specified. * When `--keep-going' is specified, print out the set of failing derivations at the end (otherwise it can be hard to find out which failed).
2005-02-22 * Support for fixed-output hashes over directory trees (i.e., over theEelco Dolstra3-16/+35
NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-22 * Compatibility hack so that Nixpkgs can continue to do hash checkingEelco Dolstra2-1/+10
in `fetchurl' in Nix <= 0.7, but doesn't in Nix 0.8.
2005-02-18 * Subtle bug in the builder: if a subgoal that is instantiatedEelco Dolstra1-31/+30
multiple times is also a top-level goal, then the second and later instantiations would never be created because there would be a stable pointer to the first one that would keep it alive in the WeakGoalMap. * Some tracing code for debugging this kind of problem.
