2010-02-04	* "Fix" incorrect help message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-04	* Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering ssh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+12
	processes.
2010-02-04	* Doh! The scope of $slotLock should extend to the end of the script,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	because otherwise the lock will be released at the end of the while loop.
2010-02-04	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-04	* Doh! Calling `system' in an END block causes the exit status in $?	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	to be changed to 0.
2010-02-04	* Remove the `cat' calls when not using --gzip.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7

2010-02-04	* Revert r19796 for now.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-03	* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build	Eelco Dolstra	4	-37/+21
	hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03	* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+27
	This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-02-03	* Respect @sysconfdir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-03	* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the other	Eelco Dolstra	3	-73/+77
	machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build farm more robust to failures.
2010-02-03	* Use SSH connection sharing in the remote build script.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-36/+16
	* Removed the Cygwin password hack since the problem is apparently fixed in Visual Studio.
2010-02-03	* nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, or	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+49
	recycle an already existing connection (using OpenSSH's connection sharing feature).
2010-02-03	* Updated the release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2010-02-02	* Ugly hack to make `nix-channel' work on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2010-02-02	* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	support deleting the current directory.
2010-02-02	* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisory	Eelco Dolstra	4	-112/+5
	POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-02-02	* If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync().	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+5

2010-01-29	* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to	Eelco Dolstra	6	-28/+37
	/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29	* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+36
	zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25	* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are	Eelco Dolstra	3	-41/+13
	multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25	* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
2010-01-25	* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'	Eelco Dolstra	4	-18/+90
	is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-12	* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+11
	works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is set to "ignore".
2009-12-17	* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+6
	_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16	* Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+2
	tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-10	* Build on Fedora 12.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9

2009-12-09	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+40

2009-12-09	* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the same	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+23
	URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09	* nix-build: be less verbose.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2009-12-09	* Give a better error message when trying to build something and	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24	* Grrr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-11-24	* GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macro	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24	* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-40/+25

2009-11-24	* In the garbage collector, don't count files with a link count > 1 in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4
	the "bytes/blocks freed" statistics.
2009-11-24	* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collector	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2009-11-23	* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage	Eelco Dolstra	3	-32/+53
	collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-23	* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual	Eelco Dolstra	3	-17/+16
	root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23	* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-166/+168
	complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
2009-11-23	* Don't create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/{tmp,channels}, since they don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	seem to be used anymore.
2009-11-20	* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many	Eelco Dolstra	7	-203/+11
	(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-11-17	* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the calling	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Nix though.
2009-11-13	* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+9
	doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente.
2009-11-06	* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.	Eelco Dolstra	16	-823/+33

2009-11-05	* Version bump.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-11-05	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-11-05	* Build on Karmic.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+16

2009-11-05	* The Nix .deb package depends on curl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2009-11-05	* Various updates.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-142/+62
