2006-02-01	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-02-01	* bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2.	Eelco Dolstra	15	-527/+471

2006-02-01	* The "S" bit should be based on the output path, not the derivation path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-02-01	* Use Berkeley DB 4.4.20.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-88/+3

2006-02-01	* Add @bindir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-01-26	* Don't force a build of derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-01-26	* Oops, the "I" bit in "nix-env -qas" was broken. Reported by Nicolae Vintila.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-01-19	* Don't show cycles, they're not very useful.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2006-01-12	* New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+152
	useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) \| ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure
2006-01-09	* dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3

2006-01-08	* Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporary	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+25
	build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp). Fixes NIX-26.
2005-12-25	* More GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-12-25	* Hack around a GCC 2.95 bug.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-12-24	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-12-24	* Documentation fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3

2005-12-23	* Added a flag `--ignore-liveness' to `nix-store --delete'. It	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+12
	deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root. However, it won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would violate store invariants). Don't try this at home. It's a useful hack for recovering from certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures due to disk corruption).
2005-12-23	* Revived the old "nix-store --delete" operation that deletes the	Eelco Dolstra	4	-11/+45
	specified paths from the Nix store. However, this operation is safe: it refuses to delete anything that the garbage collector wouldn't delete.
2005-12-15	* Begin release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+50

2005-12-15	* `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout	Eelco Dolstra	7	-11/+45
	(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-12-15	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-12-15	* Split the database upgrade into multiple transactions to prevent	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+11
	Berkeley DB from running out of locks.
2005-12-15	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-12-13	* Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the	Eelco Dolstra	11	-68/+69
	nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-12-12	* Automatically delete the old referers table.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+31

2005-12-12	* Fix NIX-23: quadratic complexity in maintaining the referers	Eelco Dolstra	4	-40/+107
	mapping. The referer table is replaced by a referrer table (note spelling fix) that stores each referrer separately. That is, instead of having referer[P] = {Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, ...} we store referer[(P, Q_1)] = "" referer[(P, Q_2)] = "" referer[(P, Q_3)] = "" ... To find the referrers of P, we enumerate over the keys with a value lexicographically greater than P. This requires the referrer table to be stored as a B-Tree rather than a hash table. (The tuples (P, Q) are stored as P + null-byte + Q.) Old Nix databases are upgraded automatically to the new schema.
2005-12-11	* Add a test to demonstrate the quadratic complexity of referrer	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+16
	(de)registration, in particular garbage collection (NIX-23).
2005-12-09	* Use Berkeley DB 4.4's process registry feature to recover from	Eelco Dolstra	2	-102/+56
	crashed Nix instances, and toss out our own recovery code.
2005-12-08	* Apply the patch.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2005-12-08	* A patch to make the DB_REGISTER feature work when debug info is not on.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+84

2005-12-06	* Require Berkeley DB 4.4.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+6
	* Checkpoint after an upgrade.
2005-11-17	* FreeBSD compatibility fix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2005-11-17	* "Fix" the test, since we cannot feasibly support the intended semantics.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-11-16	* Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now	Eelco Dolstra	5	-31/+52
	much faster.
2005-11-04	* Install signal handlers for SIGTERM and SIGHUP. This ensures that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	Nix is properly shut down when it receives those signals. In particular this ensures that killing the garbage collector doesn't cause a subsequent database recovery.
2005-11-04	* Memoise checkVarDefs since internally produced terms (i.e., not the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+24
	result of parsing) can have very heavy sharing, causing exponential complexity if we naively recurse into them. ATerms are graphs, not trees!
2005-11-04	* Scoping bug in `with'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+14

2005-10-29	* Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+12

2005-10-29	* Repair the referers table from the references table.	Rob Vermaas	1	-0/+3

2005-10-20	* Prevent uids from being used for more than one build	Eelco Dolstra	2	-37/+122
	simultaneously. We do this using exclusive locks on uid files in /nix/var/nix/userpool, e.g., /nix/var/nix/userpool/123 for uid 123.
2005-10-19	* Oops. Fixed-output derivations were broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2005-10-18	* Oops, that should be Berkeley DB 4.3. Reported by Gerco Ballintijn.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-10-17	* Also kill all processes of the build user after the build. This is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	critical to prevent certain kinds of 0wnage.
2005-10-17	* Before starting a build under some uid, kill all current processes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+48
	running under that uid.
2005-10-17	* Check that the build result is owned by the build user, and that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+13
	nobody else has write permission to the build result. This catches most hack attempts.
2005-10-17	* Don't use FIFOs to make Nix create the output path on behalf of the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-68/+17
	builder. Instead, require that the Nix store has sticky permission (S_ISVTX); everyone can created files in the Nix store, but they cannot delete, rename or modify files created by others.
2005-10-17	* Beginning of secure multi-user Nix stores. If Nix is started as	Eelco Dolstra	4	-58/+219
	root (or setuid root), then builds will be performed under one of the users listed in the `build-users' configuration variables. This is to make it impossible to influence build results externally, allowing locally built derivations to be shared safely between users (see ASE-2005 paper). To do: only one builder should be active per build user.
2005-10-11	add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed	Armijn Hemel	1	-1/+1
	for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2005-10-11	* Use ATerm 2.4.2.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2005-10-06	* Swap the system and version comparion columns.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-10-06	* Document `nix-env --compare-versions'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+69
