2008-12-04 * Build on Debian 4.0 (GCC 4.1.1).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-12-04 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2008-12-04 * Build some 64-bit RPMs/Debs.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+21
2008-12-04 * Be sure to clean up the daemon if the test fails.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2008-12-04 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2008-12-04 * Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+7
2008-12-04 * Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. ThisEelco Dolstra1-5/+6
makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store invocation will lead to at least one local build. Will come up with a better solution later...
2008-12-04 * Build RPMs, Debs, coverage analysis.Eelco Dolstra1-50/+154
2008-12-04 * When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it isEelco Dolstra2-7/+18
necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone", otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed the maximum load on a machine.
2008-12-04 * Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remoteEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04 * Don't ignore errors from writing to stderr. That way, whenEelco Dolstra1-5/+1
nix-store -r (or some other operation) is started via ssh, it will at least have a chance of terminating quickly when the connection is killed. Right now it just runs to completion, because it never notices that stderr is no longer connected to anything. Of course it would be better if sshd would just send a SIGHUP, but it doesn't (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396).
2008-12-04 * Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machineEelco Dolstra1-24/+24
list like root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has remote builds enabled.

2008-12-04 * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: theEelco Dolstra2-10/+24
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even succeed.
2008-12-03 * addToStore() in nix-worker: don't write the NAR dump received fromEelco Dolstra3-25/+85
the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient.
2008-12-03 * A simple API for parsing NAR archives.Eelco Dolstra3-26/+80
2008-12-03 * Backwards compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+9
2008-12-03 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra2-1/+2
2008-12-03 * Pass HashType values instead of strings.Eelco Dolstra11-23/+36
2008-12-03 * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the pathEelco Dolstra2-35/+29
being copied 3 times in the worst case. It doesn't run in constant space, but it didn't do that anyway.
2008-12-03 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursiveEelco Dolstra12-79/+191
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce the same store path: $ nix-store --add x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x the latter being the same as the path that a derivation derivation { name = "x"; outputHashAlgo = "sha256"; outputHashMode = "recursive"; outputHash = "..."; ... }; produces. This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations. Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.) * Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).
2008-11-29 * Install the release notes.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+6
2008-11-26 * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree.Eelco Dolstra3-27/+81
2008-11-25 * Ignore carriage returns.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2008-11-25 * Handle prematurely ended logfiles, i.e. make sure we emit enoughEelco Dolstra1-5/+17

2008-11-20 * Blindly doing a replacement of occurences of $bindir (when runningEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
the tests) is a bad idea when $bindir = /usr and some programs (like perl) live there. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be needed anymore.
2008-11-20 * Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the AutoconfEelco Dolstra3-11/+12
default of /usr/local. However, localstatedir and storedir are set to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're explicitly overriden.
2008-11-20 * Nix daemon: reload the configuration file after forking (NIX-100).Eelco Dolstra3-1/+14
2008-11-20 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2008-11-19 * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as aEelco Dolstra2-1/+23
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string. Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't be copied to the remote machine.)
2008-11-19 * Patterns.Eelco Dolstra1-31/+73

2008-11-19 * Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary filesEelco Dolstra1-2/+5
and don't indicate path validity.
2008-11-19 * nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2008-11-19 * Documented some of the sharing mechanisms. Eelco Dolstra7-5/+144
2008-11-19 * Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix).Eelco Dolstra3-10/+13
2008-11-19 * Removed obsolete option.Eelco Dolstra1-19/+0
2008-11-19 * Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of theEelco Dolstra4-143/+17
troubleshooting section. W00t.
2008-11-19 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-18/+138
2008-11-18 * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.Eelco Dolstra8-298/+7
2008-11-14 * Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped oneEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
zombie at a time, so if multiple children died before the handler got to run, some of them would not be cleaned up.
