2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-17	Add function queryPathFromHashPart()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for /nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap database lookup.
2012-07-17	queryPathInfo(): return hash in base-32 if desired	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Cherry-picked from the no-manifests branch.
2012-03-19	Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+42
	This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise the environment further. The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree. Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of $PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup. Example session: $ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm (the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...) $ tar xf $src $ ./configure $ make $ emacs (... hack source ...) $ make $ ./xterm
2011-12-02	* Add some more functions to the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+46

2011-11-29	* download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11

2011-11-29	* For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	base-32. (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13
	‘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.)
2011-11-22	* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
	libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-10-11	* Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+31

2011-10-10	* Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+129
	bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
