2012-03-05	build-remote.pl: don't wait forever for the upload lock	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+17
	In the build hook, don't wait forever to get the upload lock. This ensures progress if another process gets stuck while holding the upload lock.
2012-03-01	Remove dependency on sqlite3_table_column_metadata	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0
	Not all SQLite builds have the function sqlite3_table_column_metadata. We were only using it in a schema upgrade check for compatibility with databases that were probably never seen in the wild. So remove it.
2012-03-01	Fix an uninitialised variable	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	The variable ‘useChroot’ was not initialised properly. This caused random failures if using the build hook. Seen on Mac OS X 10.7 with Clang. Thanks to KolibriFX for finding this :-)
2012-02-18	Fix chroots builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+16
	Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to the chroot. This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set, because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files. So temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the chroot. Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’. So maybe we should only make directories immutable.
2012-02-15	On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit	Eelco Dolstra	7	-8/+130
	I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr +i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable bit before creating the link.
2012-02-15	Fix a broken guard around utime()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	Because of an outdated check for a timestamp of 0, we were calling utime() even when it wasn't necessary.
2012-02-15	Don't use deletePath() to delete a single file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-02-09	Fix error message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	This fixes the error message error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
2012-02-09	Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate	Eelco Dolstra	9	-18/+18

2012-02-08	Update .gitignore	Eelco Dolstra	1	-108/+9

2012-02-08	Remove empty ChangeLog file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2012-02-08	Set the versionSuffix to include the Git shortrev	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2012-02-07	* Build Nix for the latest Fedora and Ubuntu releases (and drop some	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6
	old ones).
2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra	7	-116/+94
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-02-04	* Print elapsed evaluation time.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9

2012-02-02	* nix-channel: fail if we don't have write permission to the manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+7
	directory. Previously in this situation we did add the Nix expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing error messages.
2012-01-26	* Fix importing a derivation. This gave a segfault.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+23

2012-01-26	* Add a test for importing derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+37

2012-01-19	* Allow comparisons between derivations by comparing the outPath	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+14
	attributes.
2012-01-19	* Add some debug output to print the derivation name once it's known.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	This makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a crash.
2012-01-19	* Add a test case for comparing derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+11

2012-01-18	* Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2012-01-18	* Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a rather unhelpful error message: Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter expects.
2012-01-17	* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+39
	environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-13	* nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporary	Eelco Dolstra	3	-52/+25
	directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
2012-01-12	* ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension on	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.
2012-01-11	tests: Run `download-using-manifests' via libtool so that dlopening works.	Ludovic Courtès	3	-1/+8

2012-01-11	perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-1/+2

2012-01-11	* Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7

2012-01-07	* Don't create thunks for simple constants (integers, strings, paths)	Eelco Dolstra	5	-133/+193
	and allocate them only once. * Move Value and related functions into value.hh.
2012-01-05	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-01-05	* Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other	Eelco Dolstra	7	-11/+15
	scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-04	* Remove dead code.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+0

2012-01-04	* Don't use dynamic_cast, it's very slow. "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	3	-24/+23
	/etc/nixos/nixos -A system" spent about 10% of its time in dynamic_cast.
2012-01-04	* Merge the multiple-outputs-sandbox branch (svn merge --reintegrate	Eelco Dolstra	21	-125/+343
	^/nix/branches/multiple-outputs-sandbox). Multiple output support still isn't complete, but it wasn't complete in the trunk either, so it doesn't hurt.
2012-01-04	* Check whether the outputName attribute works.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-01-04	* Let --disable-gc work.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-01-04	* currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporal	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	aspect.
2012-01-04	* Export the original input attributes of the derivation in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	‘drvAttrs’. This will simplify the implementation of functions such as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04	* Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+11
	common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc. Note that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs" attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of outputs. This seems more user-friendly.
2012-01-03	* Drop the inefficient "Path" suffix in output attribute names.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+5

2012-01-03	* Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separate	Eelco Dolstra	4	-26/+35
	file.
2012-01-03	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	35	-243/+242

2012-01-03	* Ignore missing manifest symlinks.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-01-03	* FreeBSD tar defaults to the tape device instead of stdout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-01-03	* Forgot to add.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13

2012-01-03	* Add a test for nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	13	-75/+103
	* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03	* Use Nix::Config.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-22/+15

2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra	15	-84/+52
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-12-30	* Follow our own coding conventions.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-65/+61
