2003-07-23	* Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	* `make dist'.
2003-07-22	* Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	5	-9/+19

2003-07-16	* The write() system call can write less than the requested	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2003-07-16	* Substitute fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2003-07-10	* Compress Nix archives when pushing them.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2

2003-07-10	* The policy-free derivate sharing now almost works. :-) For any	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Nix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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.
