2004-12-28	* A small utility to add the Size and NarHash fields to old manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+53

2004-12-28	* Added a function to write manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-41/+86

2004-12-20	* Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	12	-79/+35
	* Use the new patch downloader.
2004-12-20	* Sync with changed substitute mechanism.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+11
	* Accept the NarHash line. * Clear substitutes in `nix-channel --update'.
2004-12-20	* I love test sets.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-18/+21

2004-12-20	* An operation `nix-store --clear-substitutes' to remove all	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+35
	registered substitute mappings.
2004-12-20	* Simplify the substitute mechanism:	Eelco Dolstra	5	-122/+42
	- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you register a substitute you are responsible for registering the expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage collector. - Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.
2004-12-17	* Typo: genericBuilder -> genericBuild.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-12-16	* Fix nix-pull.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+14

2004-12-16	* Commit old changed to bdiff.sh - but bdiff.sh is obsolete.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+26

2004-12-16	* Remove `prebuilts.conf' file, it's not like anybody was using it.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-19/+5
	* Add /nix/var/nix/manifests directory.
2004-12-13	* Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+23
	cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the path (necessary for checking patch applicability).
2004-12-13	* Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the	Eelco Dolstra	3	-34/+323
	substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests. Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be used to construct the target path. In particular, patches can be chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible). A shortest path algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded (the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine taking the network speed to the various source into account). Patches are binary deltas between two store paths. To be precise, they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store paths. The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled automatically. The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation of unchanged files (by hard-linking).
2004-12-13	* Allow an optional hash to be provided. This prevents redundant	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+26
	fetches.
2004-11-29	* Print out statistics comparing our performance to bzip2.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+20

2004-11-29	* utime() follows symlinks, so don't change the mtime if the file is a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+8
	symlink.
2004-11-29	* Proof-of-concept for binary patch deployment.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+31

2004-11-29	* Remove debug statement.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2004-11-29	* Canonicalise metadata of all files in store paths (set the mtime to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+58
	0, set the mode to either 444 or 555, set the group to the default).
2004-11-14	* Bump version number to 0.7.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
