2007-02-21	* Export/import many paths in one go.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2007-02-21	* `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically	Eelco Dolstra	3	-40/+12
	under the references relation. This is useful for commands that want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21	* Flag `--print-invalid' in `nix-store --check-validity' to print out	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+14
	which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it). This is useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be copied to a remote machine. (Currently we use rsync, but that's rather inefficient.)
2007-02-21	* Check that the file containing the secret key is secret.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+14

2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker	Eelco Dolstra	4	-9/+62
	always requires a signature on the archive. This is to ensure that unprivileged users cannot add Trojan horses to the Nix store.
2007-02-21	* Support exportPath() in remote mode.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-5/+42

2007-02-21	* importPath(): set the deriver.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+13
	* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	8	-10/+142
	--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub. (TODO: verify against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key	Eelco Dolstra	8	-31/+124
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-21	* Don't use $SHELL.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+2

2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	6	-0/+50
	path. This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the meta-information of the store path (references, deriver). Will add a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a secure manner.
2007-02-20	* Temporary notes on how we're going to use OpenSSL.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+24

2007-02-20	* Close the file - just in case.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2007-02-06	* Fix 64-bit compiler warnings.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+4

2007-02-05	* Compatibility with docbook5-xsl.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-7/+8

2007-02-02	* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation	Eelco Dolstra	6	-16/+105
	attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information not only on available packages but also on installed packages. * nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has access to the meta attributes. * New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example: $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4
2007-01-29	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2007-01-29	* computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when	Eelco Dolstra	5	-6/+18
	computing the store path (NIX-77). This is an important security property in multi-user Nix stores. Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).
2007-01-29	* Don't capitalise the primop functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-76/+81

2007-01-29	* Organise primops.cc a bit better.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-321/+376

2007-01-29	New primitives:	Eelco Dolstra	8	-6/+88
	* `sub' to subtract two numbers. * `stringLength' to get the length of a string. * `substring' to get a substring of a string. These should be enough to allow most string operations to be expressed.
2007-01-29	* filterSource: pass strings to the predicate function instead of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	paths. Paths can have unexpected semantics.
2007-01-24	* Nasty: Glibc clears the TMPDIR environment variable in setuid	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	programs, so if a builder uses TMPDIR, then it will fail when executed through nix-setuid-helper. In fact Glibc clears a whole bunch of variables (see sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h in the Glibc sources), but only TMPDIR should matter in practice. As a workaround, we reinitialise TMPDIR from NIX_BUILD_TOP.
2007-01-23	* exportReferencesGraph: work on paths within store paths as well.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10

2007-01-23	* New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store	Eelco Dolstra	8	-22/+73
	path can be created by copying it from another location in the file system. This is useful in the NixOS installation.
2007-01-23	* Successors have been gone for ages.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-32/+15

2007-01-22	* nix-prefetch-url: change the default hash to SHA-256 (in base-32).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-01-15	* Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+22

2007-01-15	* builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+23
	"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter predicate.
2007-01-14	* `nix-store --verify': revive checking the referrers table. This is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-42/+56
	important to get garbage collection to work if there is any inconsistency in the database (because the referrer table is used to determine whether it is safe to delete a path). * `nix-store --verify': show some progress.
2007-01-14	* Make the garbage collector more resilient to certain consistency	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+10
	errors: in-use paths now cause a warning, not a fatal error.
2007-01-14	* Don't forget the .flags files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	11	-28/+88

2007-01-14	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2007-01-13	* nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-1/+39
	* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and print them on stdout. This allows them to be installed, e.g., "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)". (NIX-64)
2007-01-13	* Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+20
	(NIX-74).
2007-01-13	* Removed chroot support.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-22/+0

2007-01-13	* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position	Eelco Dolstra	7	-5/+49
	info, sort attribute sets.
2007-01-13	* Memoize strict evaluation.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+29

2007-01-13	* printTermAsXML: treat derivations specially; emit an element	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+55
	<derivation outPath=... drvPath=...> attrs </derivation>. Only emit the attributes of any specific derivation only. This prevents exponententially large XML output due to the absense of sharing.
2007-01-13	* Make printing an expression as XML interruptible.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+7

2007-01-13	* Cleanup.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-16/+16

2007-01-11	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-01-11	* Install generate-patches into libexec.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-01-08	* Reject patches that are larger than a certain fraction of the full archive	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+13
	(currently 60%). Large patches aren't very economical.
2007-01-08	* Huge speedup in patch propagation (20 minutes or so to 3 seconds).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+15

2006-12-29	* Another great success.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2006-12-29	* Testing 1 2 3.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-12-15	* Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-12-13	* Remove debug message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
