2008-05-07	--proxy=proxy:3128	Michael Raskin	1	-0/+1

2008-04-10	* Make really sure that we use bash. The line	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	NEED_PROG(shell, bash) actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at /bin/sh.
2007-12-31	* Bumped the version number to 0.12.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-12-14	* Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-11-01	* A rule to make a PDF version of the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-10-29	* Depend on bash instead of sh (since we use a few bashisms).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-10-29	* On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2007-10-27	* Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2007-05-01	* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g., {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible, e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-04-16	* It seems that svnversion prints a carriage return on Cygwin, so we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	get a invalid #define VERSION. Use "svnversion -n" to leave out the newline. Fix provided by Marc Weber.
2007-03-01	* Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2006-12-07	* Check for lchown.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+1

2006-12-06	* Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids, changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-03	* Use setreuid if setresuid is not available.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2006-11-30	* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
2006-11-29	* Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+1
	Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries.
2006-11-13	* Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-10-19	* Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it is more than four years	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	old...
2006-10-06	* Bumped the version number to 0.11.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-09-22	* Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	(NIX-22).
2006-09-20	* Check for patch (NIX-59).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-09-04	* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-08-25	* Map "ppc" to "powerpc" so that Linux on PowerPC will be reported as	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	"powerpc-linux".
2006-08-21	* Convert to DocBook 5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+5
	* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2006-05-31	* On Cygwin, set the system type to i686-cygwin, and disable dynamic	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+28
	linking.
2006-04-25	* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+15
	externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-03-01	* Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5

2006-02-22	* Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	* Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well.
2006-02-13	* Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-01	* bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+21

2005-10-05	* log2xml -> nix-log2xml.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-09-21	* Use -all_load on Mac OS X.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2005-09-16	* Bump the version number to 0.10.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-09-15	* Check for w3m.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2005-09-15	* This is not a GNU project :-P	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-07-22	* Build dynamic libraries.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2005-05-07	* Build .tar.bz2 files in `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-04-11	* Bump the version number to 0.9.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-04-08	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2005-03-21	* Fink compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2005-03-15	* Remove Docbook EBNF dependency.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+0

2005-03-15	* Purify all corepkgs builders.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2005-01-12	* Bump version number to 0.8.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-12-29	* Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source tree. The license is a bit peculiar, but it does allow verbatim copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes to the sources).
2004-12-20	* Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	* Use the new patch downloader.
2004-11-14	* Bump version number to 0.7.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-10-27	* Use `atdiff' instead of `cmp' for checking test output.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	* Don't use local file names in tests since they will produce different parse trees depending on the current directory.
2004-10-25	* Revert r1594 - it didn't solve the problem. Instead add	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	svn-revision to distributions, which should fix it.
2004-10-25	* Make sure that the prerelease version is included in `--version'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2004-09-09	* A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user. So for instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression. Now we just switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and the like. The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary, however. Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in it is executed as the original user. * Back out r1385. setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the original uid. setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).
