2008-08-02 Updates to nix-reduce-build: only realize fixed derivations if user asks so, ↵Michael Raskin1-1/+32
or only use substituters. Oh, and add possibility to use : for things like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs:-A:gnused
2008-08-02 * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctlyEelco Dolstra14-263/+329
again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout.
2008-07-24 * Print a better error message when a non-derivation attribute set isEelco Dolstra1-3/+10
coerced to a string.
2008-07-23 * A quick hack to make nix-prefetch-url support mirror:// URLs. ItEelco Dolstra1-0/+22
requires that $NIXPKGS_ALL points at a Nixpkgs tree.
2008-07-23 * Make sure that copy-from-other-stores.pl is built.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2008-07-18 * Fix the tests.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2008-07-18 * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOSEelco Dolstra2-6/+11
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon).
2008-07-18 * Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,Eelco Dolstra3-12/+20
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good name...) is set. * Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES. E.g. you could set it to /mnts/*/nix or something. * Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
2008-07-12 * Quick prototype of a substituter that copies paths from other NixEelco Dolstra2-1/+84
stores (typically remote Nix stores mounted via e.g. NFS, or the Nix store on the NixOS installation CD). Example use: $ sshfs foo@example.org:/ /mnt $ NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix \ NIX_SUBSTITUTERS=.../copy-from-other-stores.pl \ nix-env -i foo This will be especially useful for the installation CD since it doesn't require a manifest for the CD contents.
2008-07-11 * Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure,Eelco Dolstra5-139/+442
which is hopefully more useful. * New primops: length, mul, div.
2008-07-01 * Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparisonEelco Dolstra9-37/+103
logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops. This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples.
2008-06-23 * `make ext-clean': remove the bzip2 build.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-06-18 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-06-18 * --max-freed: support values >= 4 GB.Eelco Dolstra4-3/+12
2008-06-18 * Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least NEelco Dolstra6-12/+47
bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories limit).
2008-06-18 * `nix-store --optimise': handle files with >= 32000 hard links.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+31
(There can easily be more than 32000 occurrences of the empty file.)
2008-06-18 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.Eelco Dolstra15-166/+252
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-17 * Use bzip2 1.0.5.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2008-06-15 * Test instrumentation.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2008-06-14 * nix-worker: clean up the temporary root for the worker processes Eelco Dolstra3-9/+13
in /nix/var/nix/temproots.
2008-06-14 * Note.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+5
2008-06-14 Also trying to build derivers in case we cannot get substitutersMichael Raskin1-1/+9
2008-06-14 Added local best-effort builds (i.e. one failure does not ruin all packages ↵Michael Raskin2-3/+17
you would like to see built)
2008-06-13 * Garbage collector: don't do a complete topological sort of the NixEelco Dolstra2-74/+87
store under the reference relation, since that means that the garbage collector will need a long time to start deleting paths. Instead just delete the referrers of a path first.
2008-06-13 * Print some progress info during the early GC stages.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+9
2008-06-13 Stupid error in scriptMichael Raskin1-1/+1
2008-06-13 OK, I will believe that fix does no worse..Michael Raskin1-1/+1
2008-06-12 Updated help textMichael Raskin1-6/+15
2008-06-12 Added verbosity for nix-reduce-buildMichael Raskin1-0/+3
2008-06-11 * Updated some URLs.Eelco Dolstra4-17/+19
2008-06-10 * Fixed compatibility with old versions of "wc" that print whitespaceEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
before the count.
2008-06-09 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEADEelco Dolstra24-704/+888
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 * Updated some URLs (did this a long time ago but forgot toEelco Dolstra4-34/+30
commit...).
2008-06-04 First attempt to update Nix SDF grammar to match the actual bison grammarSander van der Burg1-2/+4
2008-05-21 * GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour andEelco Dolstra11-3/+18
Armijn Hemel.
2008-05-11 Added support for file:// archive (.nar.gz) repositories to ↵Michael Raskin1-0/+5
nix-reduce-build. /tmp/nix-export created by nix-http-export.cgi is OK.
2008-05-07 --proxy=proxy:3128Michael Raskin4-1/+53
2008-04-29 Added http alternative transport for nix-reduce-buildMichael Raskin1-3/+12
2008-04-10 * Make really sure that we use bash. The lineEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
NEED_PROG(shell, bash) actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at /bin/sh.
2008-04-09 * sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+26
This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail when performed in a directory with a very long path name. So chdir to the socket directory and use a relative path name.
2008-03-28 * Fix for NIX-101 (should use an absolute path for call to nix-hash).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-03-27 * Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead ofEelco Dolstra3-8/+17
/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories. This increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.
2008-03-21 * Updated URL.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-03-20 * Disable the don't-run-as-root sanity check because it breaks RPMEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
builds (which are done as root...).
2008-03-20 * Note that the SDF grammar isn't used.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2008-03-20 * Cleanup.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+9
2008-03-01 * A transaction is unnecessary since the path cannot beEelco Dolstra1-8/+3
garbage-collected (it's a temporary root).
2008-02-28 * Don't install nix-reduce-build by default yet please, I first wantEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
to understand better what it does...
2008-02-27 Added nix-reduce-build. You point it to some path you want to build and it ↵Michael Raskin2-2/+71
fetches whatever it can from specified computers via nix-copy-closure. NOTE: You do want to set up RSA keys or ssh-agent or something... You really do want it. It will run separate ssh instances insane number of times.
2008-02-21 * checkVarDefs: don't check in closed terms, which don't haveEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
undefined variables by definition. This matters for the implementation of "with", which does a call to checkVarDefs to see if the body of the with has no undefined variables. (It can't be checked at parse time because you don't know which variables are in the "with" attribute set.) If we check closed terms, then we check not just the with body but also the substituted terms, which are typically very large. This is the cause of the poor nix-env performance on Nixpkgs lately. It didn't happen earlier because "with" wasn't used very often in the past. This fix improves nix-env performance roughly 60x on current Nixpkgs. nix-env -qa is down from 29.3s to 0.5s on my laptop, and nix-env -qa --out-path is down from 229s to 3.39s. Not bad for a 1-line fix :-)
