2012-07-30 | Pass configuration settings to the substituters | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+9 | |
Previously substituters could read nix.conf themselves, but this didn't take --option flags into account. | |||||

2012-07-09 | download-from-binary-cache: add nix.conf options | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
2012-06-29 | First attempt at the manifest-less substituter | Eelco Dolstra | 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. | |||||
2012-05-10 | Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build. | |||||
