2009-03-28 * Clean up the output a bit.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+5
2009-03-28 * The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a buildEelco Dolstra1-5/+6
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.
2009-03-27 * Argh, stupid timing sensitive tests...Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2009-03-27 * Debian 5.0, Ubuntu 8.10 builds.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2009-03-27 * Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2009-03-26 * A job for creating a fully statically linked binary tarball.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+22
2009-03-26 * Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binariesEelco Dolstra1-11/+24
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no RPMs/Debs available.
2009-03-26 * Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".Eelco Dolstra4-10/+8
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is too large for "long" type').
2009-03-25 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled byEelco Dolstra7-7/+140
default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-25 * Removed the locking.sh test; it's redundant because of the extendedEelco Dolstra5-45/+11
parallel.sh test. Also, don't call multiple nix-builds in parallel, since they can race creating .nix-build-tmp-derivation.
2009-03-25 * Use bash in the tests.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+2
2009-03-24 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-03-24 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-03-23 * Make this test a bit more robust. It's still timing dependentEelco Dolstra3-10/+14
though.
2009-03-23 * Shut up a GCC warning.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2009-03-23 * No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. InsteadEelco Dolstra5-28/+85
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again). This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately, where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's waiting for a lock held by the first. The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require pthreads.
2009-03-22 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-136/+85
2009-03-22 * Test case (currently fails): multiple Nix builds shouldn't blockEelco Dolstra1-2/+34
waiting on the same lock when there are other builds that can be done.
2009-03-22 * Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbageEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
(previously it would likely say "implementation cannot deal with > 32-bit integers").
2009-03-22 * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously itEelco Dolstra7-17/+48
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-19 * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10Eelco Dolstra1-1/+6
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19 * Disregard the Hash field in manifests.Eelco Dolstra1-22/+5
2009-03-18 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and makeEelco Dolstra4-67/+40
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built, and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18 * Improve the test.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2009-03-18 * Better cleanup after tests.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+8
2009-03-18 * Missing file.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2009-03-18 * Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the buildEelco Dolstra4-150/+78
hook. This fixes a problem with log files being partially or completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process truncates the log file. It should also be more efficient.
2009-03-18 * Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate).Eelco Dolstra7-34/+25
2009-03-17 * Regression test for exportBuildReferencesGraph. It currently fails.Eelco Dolstra3-6/+34
2009-03-17 * Refactoring: renamed *.nix.in to *.nix.Eelco Dolstra22-264/+209
2009-03-17 * Regression test for the `exportReferencesGraph'Eelco Dolstra8-33/+69
derivation attribute.

2009-03-03 * Allow the channel to declare a name for itself.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2009-02-27 * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests.Eelco Dolstra3-11/+11
2009-02-27 * Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
the size of the download isn't known in advance.
2009-02-27 * nix-build: support --option.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+7
2009-02-27 * Allow options from the Nix config file to be overriden from theEelco Dolstra3-0/+21
command line (e.g. "--option build-use-chroot true").
2009-02-27 * nix-channel: use nix-build.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+6
2009-02-27 * Check the manifest version.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+4
2009-02-26 * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+12
2009-02-19 * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash ofEelco Dolstra1-18/+30
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store path. When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use that instead for checking the integrity of the download.
2009-02-19 Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitutionMichael Raskin1-1/+2
2009-02-16 * Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor ofEelco Dolstra3-0/+14
the DerivationGoal runs. Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal, then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes. With --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for Nixpkgs). Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to build it again until the lock is released. * Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely manner for failed top-level derivation goals. So if there were more than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about having run out of build users.
