2006-05-12 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-03-15 * Purify all corepkgs builders.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+2
2005-03-15 * Use SHA-256 for nix-push.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+4
2005-03-14 * Set NAR name to content hash; previous nix-push names were notEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
unique. * Drop `hashAlgo' attribute in manifests; prefix hashes with the hash algorithm instead.
2005-01-25 * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closureEelco Dolstra4-21/+4
invariant by registering references through the manifest. * Added a test for nix-pull.
2004-12-13 * Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing theEelco Dolstra1-4/+8
cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the path (necessary for checking patch applicability).
2004-11-08 * Check exit status of pipe elements.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2004-04-06 * Switched from wget to curl.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+8
* Made the dependencies on bzip2 and the shell explicit.
2003-12-30 * RPM spec file.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+6
* Respect DESTDIR variable.
2003-11-24 * Bug fix. Hmm, I thought I'd fixed this before :-|Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2003-11-22 * Fix nix-push.Eelco Dolstra7-25/+22
2003-10-16 * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr. * Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash generation. * Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
2003-10-16 * Get nix-push to work again.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
* Fixed svn:ignore on externals/.
2003-10-02 * Include the right files in a distribution.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-08-28 * Set a path.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2003-08-28 * nix-push generated invalid (old-style) slices.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
* nar.sh needs a path.
2003-07-30 * INSTALL_DATA -> INSTALL_PROGRAM to ensure that the execute bitEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
remains set.
2003-07-23 * Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
* `make dist'.
2003-07-22 * Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they areEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
substituting for (obvious, really). * For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus preventing a path copy. * Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e., build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism that such expressions are not used interchangeably.
2003-07-21 * Syntax fixes.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+8
* When pushing, put the hash in the file name so that the client can verify (proof-carrying file names?).
2003-07-18 * Generate nar.sh, fetchurl.sh.Eelco Dolstra5-9/+19
2003-07-16 * The write() system call can write less than the requested Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP. This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes. Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix --dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline. Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements in the pipeline? (In other words, is it at all possible to write reliable shell scripts?)
2003-07-16 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2003-07-16 * Substitute fixes.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-07-10 * Compress Nix archives when pushing them.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+2
2003-07-10 * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For anyEelco Dolstra2-0/+11
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash. This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised) fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy (fetching through `wget') built in. The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side. Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.
2003-07-10 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create NixEelco Dolstra2-0/+11
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar). * queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying the target path (which may be empty). * Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix. TODO: bootstrap Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.
