2012-06-27	nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallel	Eelco Dolstra	11	-25/+30
	I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-06-27	Mount an empty /dev/shm tmpfs in the chroot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	This ensures that whatever the builder writes in /dev/shm is automatically cleaned up.
2012-06-27	Check the return code of the clone() call	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2012-06-25	When using chroots, use a private PID namespace	Eelco Dolstra	2	-156/+186
	In a private PID namespace, processes have PIDs that are separate from the rest of the system. The initial child gets PID 1. Processes in the chroot cannot see processes outside of the chroot. This improves isolation between builds. However, processes on the outside can see processes in the chroot and send signals to them (if they have appropriate rights). Since the builder gets PID 1, it serves as the reaper for zombies in the chroot. This might turn out to be a problem. In that case we'll need to have a small PID 1 process that sits in a loop calling wait().
2012-06-25	Use a private UTS namespace to provide a deterministic host/domain name to ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	builders In chroot builds, set the host name to "localhost" and the domain name to "(none)" (the latter being the kernel's default). This improves determinism a bit further. P.S. I have to idea what UTS stands for.
2012-06-23	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2012-06-23	Improve error message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-06-23	In chroot builds, use a private SysV IPC namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+19
	This improves isolation a bit further, and it's just one extra flag in the unshare() call. P.S. It would be very cool to use CLONE_NEWPID (to put the builder in a private PID namespace) as well, but that's slightly more risky since having a builder start as PID 1 may cause problems.
2012-06-23	In chroot builds, use a private network namespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+31
	On Linux it's possible to run a process in its own network namespace, meaning that it gets its own set of network interfaces, disjunct from the rest of the system. We use this to completely remove network access to chroot builds, except that they get a private loopback interface. This means that: - Builders cannot connect to the outside network or to other processes on the same machine, except processes within the same build. - Vice versa, other processes cannot connect to processes in a chroot build, and open ports/connections do not show up in "netstat". - If two concurrent builders try to listen on the same port (e.g. as part of a test), they no longer conflict with each other. This was inspired by the "PrivateNetwork" flag in systemd.
2012-06-18	Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd	Eelco Dolstra	1	-30/+46
	Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket is first accessed. This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one ourselves.
2012-05-31	Add Emacs to the disk image	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-05-31	fixes to nix-worker systemd service descriptor: - remove commented-out lines ↵	Michel Alexandre Salim	2	-3/+1
	- register the file for distribution in Makefile.am

2012-05-31	Update nix profile: - incorporate NixOS's configuration so that nix is ↵	Michel Alexandre Salim	2	-8/+47
	usable by normal users - install as a data file, not a program file

2012-05-30	Compress build logs on the fly using bzip2	Eelco Dolstra	2	-11/+45

2012-05-30	"nix-store -l": support compressed logs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+34

2012-05-29	Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	9	-11/+35
	We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full. Since this prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage collection. This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB days. Fixes #27.
2012-05-29	Add option ‘build-keep-log’ to enable/disable writing of build logs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+36
	Fixes #26.
2012-05-24	Clean up the installation section; document the generic binary tarballs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-96/+148

2012-05-22	Fix owner/group in tar invocation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-05-22	Generate binary tarballs for installing Nix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+68
	For several platforms we don't currently have "native" Nix packages (e.g. Mac OS X and FreeBSD). This provides the next best thing: a tarball containing the closure of Nix, plus a simple script "nix-finish-install" that initialises the Nix database, registers the paths in the closure as valid, and runs "nix-env -i /path/to/nix" to initialise the user profile. The tarball must be unpacked in the root directory. It creates /nix/store/... and /usr/bin/nix-finish-install. Typical installation is as follows: $ cd / $ tar xvf /path/to/nix-1.1pre1234_abcdef-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 $ nix-finish-install (if necessary add ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh to the shell login scripts) After this, /usr/bin/nix-finish-install can be deleted, if desired. The downside to the binary tarball is that it's pretty big (~55 MiB for x86_64-linux).
2012-05-22	Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.sh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0
	It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.
2012-05-21	Add an experimental nix-make file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+169
	To use it, just do (e.g.) "nix-build build.nix -A nix_env".

2012-05-10	Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled	Eelco Dolstra	5	-12/+92
	Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.
2012-05-10	Document "nix-store --add"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+34

2012-05-10	Remove an obsolete hack	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0

2012-05-09	Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+10
	The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.
2012-05-09	Document some nix-store subcommands	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+170

2012-05-09	Document $NIX_PATH / -I	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+66

2012-05-07	Now really prevent accumulation of old manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2012-05-04	Fix some 32-bit builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Perl on some 32-bit systems needs -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. See also commit 02f1363e19b7df7cccc3523805bbf4fafe429529.
2012-05-04	Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1
	This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380). Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.
2012-05-04	Don't build for old Debian/Ubuntu releases that don't have a sufficiently ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0
	new SQLite
2012-05-04	Don't build for old Fedora releases that don't have a sufficiently new SQLite	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0

2012-05-04	Require SQLite >= 3.6.19	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was introduced in 3.6.19. Without it, the database won't be cleaned up correctly when paths are deleted. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142.
2012-05-01	Use mkpath instead of make_path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Perl <= 5.10 doesn't have make_path. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2493981.
