2015-07-20	Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes; 2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3) we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.
2015-03-24	Don't rely on __noChroot for corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+11
	This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures that its closure is present in the chroot.

2013-07-12	Add gzip support for channel unpacking	Gergely Risko	1	-0/+1

2012-08-01	Use a GNU tar flag to shut up warnings about implausibly old timestamp	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-07-11	Merge branch 'master' of github.com:NixOS/nix into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-07-09	corepkgs/config.nix.in: We'll need curl	Shea Levy	1	-0/+1

2012-06-29	Use XZ compression in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	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.
