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

2008-11-19	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+62

2008-11-19	* Updated the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+134

2008-11-19	* Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	and don't indicate path validity.
2008-11-19	* nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2008-11-19	* Documented some of the sharing mechanisms.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-5/+144

2008-11-19	* Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+13

2008-11-19	* Removed obsolete option.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+0

2008-11-19	* Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of the	Eelco Dolstra	4	-143/+17
	troubleshooting section. W00t.
2008-11-19	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+138

2008-11-18	* Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-298/+7

2008-11-14	* Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped one	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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.
2008-11-14	* Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13
	subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes either barf with a "Broken pipe" message or not, depending on the exact timing conditions. This particularly happened in GNU M4 (and Bison, which uses M4).
2008-11-12	* Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor	Eelco Dolstra	6	-7/+71
	build progress.
2008-11-11	* Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+5

2008-11-11	* Add /dev/pts to the default nix.conf.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+8

2008-11-11	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-10-29	* Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of	Eelco Dolstra	4	-10/+15
	disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts. Will try the definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time.
2008-10-16	libstore: Always mount `/dev/pts' individually.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+5
	This fixes problems such as Tcl's PTY handling: ERROR: The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
2008-10-16	* Bug fix for building on some old installations (contributed by Pjotr).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2008-09-18	* Fix `--from-profile'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5

2008-09-17	* GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last	Eelco Dolstra	4	-7/+24
	accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t, e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to convert to time_t from the command line. Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two months: $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
