2011-05-03 * Use SQLite 3.7.6.2.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-04-19 * nix-install-package: unset NIX_REMOTE because $NIX_MANIFESTS_DIREelco Dolstra1-1/+4
doesn't work when building through the Nix daemon. This also ensures an error message when the user doesn't have sufficient privileges to do nix-pull.
2011-04-19 * Handle error messages from the Nix worker containing the `%'Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
character. (Nix/216)
2011-04-11 * `nix-env -ub' (`--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because itEelco Dolstra1-17/+20
checked too soon whether substitutes are available. That is, it did so for every available package, rather than those matching installed packages. This was very slow and subject to assertion failures. So do the check much later. Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.
2011-04-11 * Read manifests directly into the database, rather than first readingEelco Dolstra1-60/+65
them into memory. This brings memory use down to (more or less) O(1). For instance, on my test case, the maximum resident size of download-using-manifests while filling the DB went from 142 MiB to 11 MiB.
2011-04-11 * Lock the database during updates.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+8

2011-04-11 * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary theEelco Dolstra7-6/+33
location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and --with-dbd-sqlite.
2011-04-11 * Subtle bug: if you import File::stat in one module, it affects otherEelco Dolstra2-5/+7
modules as well. So use symbolic field names everywhere (which is nicer anyway).
2011-04-11 * Create $manifestDir if it doesn't exist.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2011-04-10 * Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.Eelco Dolstra2-30/+164
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests substituter, especially if manifests are very large. For instance, one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s. It also significantly reduces memory use. The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite. It's updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from /nix/var/nix/manifests. It might be interesting to have nix-pull store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface to delete manifests from the DB.
2011-04-06 * Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer usedEelco Dolstra7-47/+10
and redundant anyway.
2011-03-16 * Print a better error message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-03-15 * Fix a bug in the documentation (reported by Olexiy Buyanskyy,Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Nix/215).

2011-02-17 * nix-push: handle the case where the hash is not set in the DB.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
2011-02-14 * Build for Ubuntu 10.04.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2011-02-14 make nix-mode provide 'nix-modeFlorian Friesdorf1-0/+2
this enables (require 'nix-mode)
2011-02-10 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines withEelco Dolstra2-12/+25
little RAM. Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel. So use a VM space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.
2011-02-09 * Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbageEelco Dolstra2-12/+18
collector.
2011-02-09 Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable.Ludovic Courtès3-4/+2
2011-02-09 * A better fix. $boehmgc isn't set anywhere, we should use the flagsEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
returned by pkg-config.
2011-02-09 * The GC library can't be found on SolarisEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/890714), so don't build with GC support for now.
2011-02-09 * Urgh, FreeBSD doesn't have a "seq" command.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2011-02-09 * Obsolete.Eelco Dolstra22-353/+0
2011-02-09 * Remove obsolete directory.Eelco Dolstra1-252/+0
2011-02-09 * Remove obsolete file.Eelco Dolstra1-149/+0
2011-02-09 * Merged the SQLite branch.Eelco Dolstra82-1890/+2676
2011-02-09 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2011-02-08 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-02-05 * Propagate the CC setting.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-02-05 * Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitionsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
when they are defined
2011-01-14 Remove useless <config.h> inclusion from public header.Ludovic Courtès1-2/+0
2011-01-14 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string,Eelco Dolstra3-2/+4
return the empty string.
2010-12-22 * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from Perl.
2010-12-17 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+12
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
