2010-02-02 * Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisoryEelco Dolstra4-112/+5
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-02-02 * If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync().Eelco Dolstra2-0/+5
2010-01-29 * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra6-28/+37
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29 * Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but isEelco Dolstra1-4/+36
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25 * Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there areEelco Dolstra3-41/+13
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25 * Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too muchEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
2010-01-25 * Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'Eelco Dolstra4-18/+90
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-12 * On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that NixEelco Dolstra1-5/+11
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is set to "ignore".
2009-12-17 * Include config.h before the C library headers, because it definesEelco Dolstra3-4/+6
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16 * Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'Eelco Dolstra2-3/+2
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-10 * Build on Fedora 12.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+9
2009-12-09 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+40
2009-12-09 * When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the sameEelco Dolstra2-8/+23
URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09 * nix-build: be less verbose.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+8
2009-12-09 * Give a better error message when trying to build something andEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24 * Grrr.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-11-24 * GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macroEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24 * Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.Eelco Dolstra5-40/+25
2009-11-24 * In the garbage collector, don't count files with a link count > 1 inEelco Dolstra1-2/+4
the "bytes/blocks freed" statistics.
2009-11-24 * Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collectorEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2009-11-23 * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbageEelco Dolstra3-32/+53
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-23 * `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actualEelco Dolstra3-17/+16
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 * Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes theEelco Dolstra2-166/+168
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
2009-11-23 * Don't create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/{tmp,channels}, since they don'tEelco Dolstra1-2/+0
seem to be used anymore.
2009-11-20 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra7-203/+11
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-11-17 * Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the callingEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Nix though.
2009-11-13 * In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if itEelco Dolstra3-6/+9
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente.
2009-11-06 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra16-823/+33
2009-11-05 * Version bump.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-11-05 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-11-05 * Build on Karmic.Eelco Dolstra1-14/+16
2009-11-05 * The Nix .deb package depends on curl.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2009-11-05 * Various updates.Eelco Dolstra6-142/+62
2009-11-04 * Manual updates.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+30
2009-10-22 * When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linkingEelco Dolstra1-2/+13
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise', because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22 * Remove a prototype for a function that no longer exists.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+0
2009-10-22 * builtins.trace: in the common case that the value is a string, thenEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
show the string, not the ATerm, so we get `trace: bla' instead of `trace: Str("bla",[])'.
2009-10-21 * Added a primop unsafeDiscardOutputDependency needed by Disnix toEelco Dolstra1-3/+34
pass derivation paths to a builder without actually building them.
2009-10-13 * Give a useful error message when an evaluation error occurs whileEelco Dolstra1-41/+48
trying to upgrade a package.
2009-10-08 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg7-6/+12
manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-10-06 configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file ↵Peter Simons1-6/+5
size support Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e. Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the functionality in case of problems.
2009-09-30 * Support platforms that don't have O_ASYNC (e.g. OpenSolarisEelco Dolstra1-3/+17
apparently).
2009-09-30 * OpenSolaris compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+6
2009-09-25 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra3-3/+5
2009-09-24 * And some more.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+2
2009-09-24 * Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2009-09-24 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2009-09-23 * tryEval shouldn't catch all exceptions of type Error, since not allEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
of them leave the evaluator in a continuable state. Also, it should be less chatty.
2009-09-23 * Don't build against BDB on Cygwin, it's been broken for unknownEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
reasons for a while (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/79164).
