| 2012-11-15 | Disable use of vfork() | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead. | |||||
| 2012-11-09 | Use vfork() instead of fork() if available | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+4 | |
| Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders. | |||||
| 2012-10-10 | Out-of-tree building of perl modules. | Mats Erik Andersson | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2012-10-03 | Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2012-10-03 | Remove bin2c | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+0 | |
| 2012-09-14 | Test whether GNU tar understands --warning=no-timestamp | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
| http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3031618 | |||||
| 2012-08-27 | Whitespace | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+7 | |
| 2012-08-01 | Use a GNU tar flag to shut up warnings about implausibly old timestamp | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+12 | |
| 2012-07-26 | Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+17 | |
| 2012-07-23 | Handle platforms that don't support linking to a symlink | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+12 | |
| E.g. Darwin doesn't allow this. | |||||
| 2012-07-23 | Use lutimes() if available to canonicalise the timestamp of symlinks | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+5 | |
| Also use utimes() instead of utime() if lutimes() is not available. | |||||
| 2012-07-09 | Add WWW::Curl as a dependency | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+11 | |
| 2012-06-29 | Use XZ compression in binary caches | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory. | |||||
| 2012-05-10 | Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -9/+16 | |
| Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build. | |||||
| 2012-05-04 | Require SQLite >= 3.6.19 | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was introduced in 3.6.19. Without it, the database won't be cleaned up correctly when paths are deleted. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142. | |||||
| 2012-04-13 | If "pv" is available at compile time, hard-code its path | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| 2012-03-19 | Fix the optional dependency on OpenSSL | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2306540 | |||||
| 2012-03-18 | Drop the externals directory | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -62/+22 | |
| Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so depending on SQLite is not a big problem. The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone. | |||||
| 2012-02-15 | On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+8 | |
| I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr +i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable bit before creating the link. | |||||
| 2012-01-11 | * Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+5 | |
| 2012-01-05 | * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+9 | |
| scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version. | |||||
| 2012-01-04 | * Let --disable-gc work. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
| 2012-01-03 | * Add a test for nix-channel. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+0 | |
| * Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit. | |||||
| 2011-11-21 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2011-11-21 | * Put back the "sys_name" variable which got removed somewhere. This | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+9 | |
| broke building on Cygwin and Solaris. | |||||
| 2011-11-21 | * Escape the [ and ] characters in the sed call, otherwise autoconf | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| will eat them. | |||||
| 2011-11-20 | * "sed" on FreeBSD doesn't know the "+" operator. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+1 | |
| 2011-11-18 | * In the platform, canonicalise "amd64" to "x86_64". FreeBSD 8.2's | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+5 | |
| uname reports amd64. * Drop the FreeBSD version number, e.g. "i686-freebsd" instead of "i686-freebsd8.2". | |||||
| 2011-11-16 | configure: Change i*86 to i686 as has always been done. | Ludovic Courtès | 1 | -3/+10 | |
| 2011-11-16 | configure: Rely on `AC_CANONICAL_HOST' to determine the Nix system name. | Ludovic Courtès | 1 | -30/+13 | |
| This should be more robust and also plays better with cross-compilation---it uses the host name, instead of using the build name. | |||||
| 2011-11-07 | * Boldly make SQLite WAL mode the default again. Hopefully the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| intermittent problems are gone by now. WAL mode is preferrable because it does way fewer fsyncs. | |||||
| 2011-10-10 | * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
| the Nix:: namespace. | |||||
| 2011-10-10 | * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky. | |||||
| 2011-07-13 | * Show the default for --with-store-dir (Nix/211). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2011-07-04 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |

| 2011-05-03 | * Use SQLite 3.7.6.2. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2011-04-11 | * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+28 | |
| location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and --with-dbd-sqlite. | |||||
| 2011-02-10 | * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| little RAM. Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel. So use a VM space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB. | |||||
| 2011-02-09 | Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable. | Ludovic Courtès | 1 | -2/+0 | |
| 2011-02-09 | * A better fix. $boehmgc isn't set anywhere, we should use the flags | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| returned by pkg-config. | |||||
| 2011-02-08 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2010-12-17 | * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+1 | |
| 2010-12-10 | * Use SQLite 3.7.4. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+4 | |
| 2010-11-16 | * Sync with the trunk. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+19 | |
| 2010-10-29 | * Use pkgconfig to locate the Boehm GC (as suggested by Ludo), if | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+7 | |
| --enable-gc is given. | |||||
| 2010-10-22 | * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+13 | |
| 2010-10-04 | * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+7 | |
