2004-07-30	* Use ATerm 2.2.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+4
	* Include bootstrap.sh in dist.
2004-07-30	* A script to generate the Auto* stuff.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2004-07-28	* Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the current directory to the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	store object just built.
2004-07-18	* Don't pass `--with-system'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-07-18	* Slightly better heuristic for picking the canonical system type.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+7
	Now SuSE and Red Hat should yield the same type (`i686-linux'). Mac OS X should now give `powerpc-darwin' (i.e., the version number is gone).
2004-07-09	* Hardcode the system id to be `i686-linux'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-07-06	* Fixed format string error.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-07-01	* Don't go into a (sometimes infinite) loop calling the build hook.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+24

2004-07-01	* Nix-instantiate now accepts sets of derivations (just like nix-env).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9

2004-07-01	* Nix-env operations now by default filter out any derivations for	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+28
	system types other than the current system. I.e., `nix-env -i' won't install derivations for other system types, and `nix-env -q' won't show them. The flag `--system-filter SYSTEM' can be used to override the system type used for filtering (but not for building!). The value `*' can be used not to filter anything.
2004-07-01	* Align the columns in the output of `nix-env -q'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+36

2004-07-01	* Allow the system attribute of derivations to be queried in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-37/+50
	`nix-env -q'. * Queries can now be combined, e.g., `nix-env -q --status --system'.
2004-07-01	* Include some missing headers.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2

2004-06-29	* Write build logs to disk again.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+29

2004-06-28	* Use ATerm 2.1.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2004-06-28	* By default, `nix-env -i' now deletes previously installed	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+58
	derivations with names matching the derivations being installed. The option `--preserve-installed / -P' overrides this behaviour.
2004-06-28	* In a realisation goal, check the result of the corresponding	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	normalisation goal.
2004-06-28	* `nix-env -u' now allows a specific version to be specified when	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+10
	upgrading. This fixes a bug reported by Martin: $ nix-env -i foo-1.0 $ nix-env -u foo-1.0 upgrading foo-1.0 to foo-1.1
2004-06-28	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-06-28	* Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual:	Eelco Dolstra	17	-58/+185
	Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on normalising the derivation. The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from, say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, binary installation falls back on a source installation. This option is not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from source (with the related consumption of resources).
2004-06-25	* A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as	Eelco Dolstra	10	-144/+209
	much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.) * Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection. * Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
2004-06-25	* Don't throw an exception when a build fails. Just terminate the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-58/+214
	goal and allow the problem to be handled elsewhere (e.g., at top-level).
2004-06-24	* Obsolete.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-162/+0

2004-06-24	* Add a test to check that when we cannot realise a closure	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+26
	expression, we should invalidate it and go back to the derivation for which it is a successor.
2004-06-24	* Multiple and/or failing substitutes now work.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-19/+54

2004-06-24	* A test for multiple and/or failing substitutes.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-5/+80

2004-06-22	* Arghhhhhh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-06-22	* Some more diagnostics changes.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-25/+41

2004-06-22	* Nix-instantiate can return multiple store expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2004-06-22	* A utility script `nix-build' that builds Nix expressions and prints	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+30
	their output paths (and only that) on standard output.
2004-06-22	* We don't really need this here.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-165/+0

2004-06-22	* Well, it's better than printf.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-06-22	* Started making Nix's diagnostic messages a bit more useful.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+26

2004-06-22	* Put WEXITSTATUS stuff somewhere else.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-3/+11

2004-06-22	* Reduce gratuitous cut & pasting.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-68/+55

2004-06-22	* Wrapper class around pids.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-87/+162

2004-06-22	* Substitutes should occupy a build slot.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2004-06-22	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-20/+25

2004-06-21	* Missing files added to `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2004-06-21	* Remove debug output.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2004-06-21	* Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-58/+99

2004-06-21	* Acquire a lock on the output path when running a substitute. Also	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+22
	delete obstructing invalid paths.
2004-06-21	* Ugh, nasty Heisenbug due to an uninitialiased variable. The bug	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	only caused a crash if the program was not invoked with a high verbosity level.
2004-06-21	* Remove obstructing invalid store paths add[Text]ToStore().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2004-06-21	* Wrap calls to registerSubstitute() in a single transaction to	Eelco Dolstra	3	-11/+13
	improve throughput. * Don't build the `substitute-rev' table for now, since it caused Theta(N^2) time and log file consumption when adding N substitutes. Maybe we can do without it.
2004-06-21	* Disable calls to fsync() since Berkeley DB's DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	flag doesn't seem to work as advertised.
2004-06-20	* Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser.	Eelco Dolstra	10	-108/+444
	* A better substitute mechanism. Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired store path, which is passed as an argument. This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes. (It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a performance problem). * Added a test for the substitute mechanism. * `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input, instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running into the kernel's limit on command line length.
2004-06-20	* README for the Emacs mode (written a while ago, but forgot to commit).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10

2004-06-20	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-41/+52

2004-06-19	* Re-enable build hooks.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-75/+327
