2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Drop --bzip2, --xz, --show-progress	Eelco Dolstra	1	-34/+7
	These are too difficult to implement via nix-store --serve. ‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a sink/source wrapper class.
2014-07-24	Fix NIX_SSHOPTS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	Closes #302.
2014-07-24	Refactor	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+1

2014-07-11	build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side	Eelco Dolstra	1	-60/+36
	This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and outputs locked as long as they're needed). It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root account on the build machine, using a forced command (e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix daemon and is therefore more efficient. Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.
2014-07-11	Fix closure size display	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2014-07-10	Fix use of sysread	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+18

2014-07-10	nix-copy-closure -s: Do substitutions via ‘nix-store --serve’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+11
	This means we no longer need an SSH master connection, since we only execute a single command on the remote host.

2014-07-10	nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+74
	There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’), locking all paths in the closure while querying. I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked experimental anyway. Fixes #141.

	Problem noticed by niksnut.
2013-05-03	Adding ETA support to the --show-progress in nix-copy-closure	Lluís Batlle i Rossell	1	-4/+8
	Based on https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6 from shlevy
2012-11-23	nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2012-04-13	nix-copy-closure: Move the progressViewer directly adjacent to the ssh call ↵	Shea Levy	1	-1/+1
	so that network progress is what's measured
2012-04-13	Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closure	Shea Levy	1	-3/+4

2012-03-05	nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05	Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+46
	‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
