2010-12-17 * Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the NixEelco Dolstra3-5/+9
daemon.
2010-12-17 * Use the right `make'.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-12-15 * Disable X11 forwarding, it's not needed.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2010-12-15 * nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing ofEelco Dolstra1-6/+6
`+' and `?' in filenames. This is very slow if /nix/store is very large. (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to bypass the shell entirely.)
2010-12-14 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). SoEelco Dolstra1-38/+31
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath() is simply a wrapper around it.
2010-12-13 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent buildEelco Dolstra5-14/+29
failure. The build hook can use this to distinguish between transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13 * Create /nix/var/nix/db if it's missing.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2010-12-13 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's aEelco Dolstra2-20/+26
directory. * Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-12-13 * Update some comments.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+3
2010-12-13 * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lotEelco Dolstra1-4/+12
of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.
2010-12-10 * Use SQLite 3.7.4.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+6
2010-12-08 * Ignore the result of sqlite3_reset().Eelco Dolstra1-3/+4
2010-12-07 * Bad things happen when a filehandle has the same name as a module.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2010-12-06 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lockEelco Dolstra2-11/+49
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very long time to finish. Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB while doing this.
2010-12-05 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happenEelco Dolstra1-61/+83
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also returned to resolve deadlocks. This should get rid of random "database is locked" errors. This is kind of hard to test though. * Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the commit might not succeed.
2010-12-05 * Use CamelCase for the Perl modules.Eelco Dolstra12-19/+18
2010-12-05 * Add a script `nix-generate-patches'.Eelco Dolstra4-7/+52
* Fix the binary patching test.
2010-11-29 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiffEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s). On one 86 MiB case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.
2010-11-29 * Move the patch generator into a module.Eelco Dolstra4-437/+345
2010-11-29 * Don't generate patches if the system type differs.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+13
2010-11-29 * Impose a configurable time limit on patch generation. This isEelco Dolstra1-6/+12
necessary because bsdiff has some pathological worst-case behaviour, e.g. O(n^2) on files consisting only of 0s.
2010-11-25 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+4
2010-11-25 * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should beEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
traced by the garbage collector. Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash randomly.
2010-11-17 * Test whether sequences of patches work.Eelco Dolstra2-15/+37
2010-11-17 * Oops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-11-17 * When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, useEelco Dolstra1-3/+7
`nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than `nix-hash'. However, only do this for estimating the size of a download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of course).
2010-11-17 * In the download size indication, take binary patches into account.Eelco Dolstra3-145/+168
Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much.
2010-11-17 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2010-11-17 * Finally, a test for the binary patch functionality.Eelco Dolstra5-3/+56
2010-11-17 * Test that download sizes are shown correctly.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+4
2010-11-17 * Fix the test.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+2
2010-11-17 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store pathsEelco Dolstra11-29/+36
will approximately require.
2010-11-17 * Store the NAR size in the manifest.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+7
2010-11-17 * nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix databaseEelco Dolstra2-9/+5
already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').
2010-11-17 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'.Eelco Dolstra5-10/+40
2010-11-17 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo().Eelco Dolstra3-1/+27
2010-11-16 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, theEelco Dolstra16-91/+144
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump PATH'). This is useful for Hydra.
2010-11-16 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra37-444/+722
2010-10-29 * Merge the GC branch.Eelco Dolstra30-413/+678
2010-10-29 * Document Boehm GC support.Eelco Dolstra4-1/+40
2010-10-29 * Use pkgconfig to locate the Boehm GC (as suggested by Ludo), ifEelco Dolstra2-10/+10
--enable-gc is given.
2010-10-29 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbageEelco Dolstra1-0/+12
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-28 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer theEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
latter.
2010-10-28 * Handle out of memory condition.Eelco Dolstra5-10/+28
2010-10-26 * Install config.h.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2010-10-24 * We need Bison 2.4 now.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2010-10-24 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for allEelco Dolstra4-28/+21
elements. This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.Eelco Dolstra12-147/+185
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). ThisEelco Dolstra3-23/+60
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
2010-10-24 * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-blackEelco Dolstra7-90/+129
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search doesn't have a big impact on performance.) Memory consumption for $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946 MiB on the trunk).
