/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2009-12-09 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+40
2009-11-23 * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbageEelco Dolstra1-1/+22
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-20 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra1-45/+0
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.

2009-06-30 * Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).Eelco Dolstra2-0/+9
NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages should be self-contained.
2009-06-13 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file, so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008 fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be patched because it's closed source. This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar warnings.
