2008-12-12	* Some hackery to make "make check" succeed on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+15

2008-12-12	* Detect whether unshare() is available.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+2

2008-12-12	* We can't use string objects in signal handlers because they might	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	allocate memory, which is verboten in signal handlers. This caused random failures in the test suite on Mac OS X (triggered by the spurious SIGPOLL signals on Mac OS X, which should also be fixed).
2008-12-12	* Use a PathSet for the chroot directories so that we don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+7
	accidentally bind-mount a directory twice.
2008-12-12	* Define _GNU_SOURCE. Hopefully this fixes the build on Debian 4.0	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	(http://hydra.nixos.org/nixlog/384/1).
2008-12-11	* Don't provide the whole Nix store in the chroot, but only the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+44
	closure of the inputs. This really enforces that there can't be any undeclared dependencies on paths in the store. This is done by creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in the fake store for all paths in the closure. After the build, the build output is moved from the fake store to the real store. TODO: the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for this to work, but this isn't enforced yet. (I.e. it only works currently if /tmp is on the same FS as /nix/store.)
2008-12-11	* Revert r13150: now that we use private namespaces for the chroot, we	Eelco Dolstra	4	-9/+1
	don't have to put the chroot in /nix/var/nix/chroots anymore. They're back in /tmp now.
2008-12-11	* Provide a minimal /etc/passwd in the chroot to keep some builders	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+12
	happy.
2008-12-11	* Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-134/+46
	bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its children. So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories anymore. Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear automatically when the builder exits.
2008-12-11	* Open the connection to the daemon lazily (on demand) so that	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+38
	read-only operations (like nix-env -qa) work properly when the daemon isn't running.
2008-12-04	* Build on Debian 4.0 (GCC 4.1.1).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-12-04	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2008-12-04	* Build some 64-bit RPMs/Debs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+21

2008-12-04	* Be sure to clean up the daemon if the test fails.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2008-12-04	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2008-12-04	* Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7

2008-12-04	* Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-50/+154

2008-12-04	* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 remote	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6
	nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04	* Don't ignore errors from writing to stderr. That way, when	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 machine	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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: the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 from	Eelco Dolstra	3	-25/+85
	the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient.
2008-12-03	* A simple API for parsing NAR archives.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-26/+80

2008-12-03	* Backwards compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+9

2008-12-03	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+2

2008-12-03	* Pass HashType values instead of strings.	Eelco Dolstra	11	-23/+36

2008-12-03	* Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 recursive	Eelco Dolstra	12	-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 Dolstra	2	-1/+6

2008-11-26	* Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-27/+81

2008-11-25	* Ignore carriage returns.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2008-11-25	* Handle prematurely ended logfiles, i.e. make sure we emit enough	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+17
	close tags.
2008-11-20	* Bump the version number.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-11-20	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2008-11-20	* Blindly doing a replacement of occurences of $bindir (when running	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Autoconf	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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 Dolstra	3	-1/+14

2008-11-20	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2008-11-19	* Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	1	-31/+73
