2013-11-25 Add a Makefile for the Perl stuffEelco Dolstra2-1/+42
2013-10-24 Fix segfault on DarwinEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly segfaulted on Darwin: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515 http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038 It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. It's not exactly clear why the latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation, which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. This leads to a segfault when Perl exits: #0 0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize () #1 0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy () #2 0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY () #3 0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch () ... #14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct () #15 0x0000000100000d6a in main () ... The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.
2013-09-06 Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So we turn this off for Perl programs.
2013-06-20 Don't keep "disabled" substituters runningEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-05-10 build-remote.pl: Properly close the SSH connection between attemptsEelco Dolstra1-0/+1

2013-03-08 Fix annoying Perl 5.16 warningsEelco Dolstra1-17/+17
I.e. Subroutine Nix::Store::isValidPath redefined at /nix/store/clfzsf6gi7qh5i9c0vks1ifjam47rijn-perl-5.16.2/lib/perl5/5.16.2/XSLoader.pm line 92. and so on.

2012-11-23 nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’Eelco Dolstra1-1/+8
2012-10-17 nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already existEelco Dolstra2-1/+58
This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist in the binary cache.
2012-10-10 Out-of-tree building of perl modules.Mats Erik Andersson1-0/+1
2012-09-19 Support xz compression in the download-using-manifests substituterEelco Dolstra1-6/+12
2012-09-13 Delete manifests in "nix-channel --remove" or when a binary cache is availableEelco Dolstra1-21/+39
2012-08-27 Drop dependency on List::MoreUtilsEelco Dolstra1-0/+11
2012-08-27 Add missing fileEelco Dolstra1-0/+8
2012-07-30 Refactor settings processingEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-30 Do some validation of URLsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2012-07-30 Pass configuration settings to the substitutersEelco Dolstra1-1/+9
Previously substituters could read nix.conf themselves, but this didn't take --option flags into account.
2012-07-18 Merge branch 'master' into no-manifestsEelco Dolstra2-0/+12
2012-07-17 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()Eelco Dolstra2-0/+12
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 desiredEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Cherry-picked from the no-manifests branch.
2012-07-11 Set the User-Agent header to "Nix/<version>"Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2012-07-09 download-from-binary-cache: add nix.conf optionsEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2012-07-02 nix-push: Always generate base-32 hashesEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-06-29 First attempt at the manifest-less substituterEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-06-29 Use XZ compression in binary cachesEelco Dolstra1-1/+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 disabledEelco Dolstra3-3/+75
Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.
2012-05-10 Remove an obsolete hackEelco Dolstra1-3/+0
2012-05-04 Fix some 32-bit buildsEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Perl on some 32-bit systems needs -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. See also commit 02f1363e19b7df7cccc3523805bbf4fafe429529.
2012-05-04 Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGSEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380). Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.
2012-04-13 nix-copy-closure: Move the progressViewer directly adjacent to the ssh call ↵Shea Levy1-1/+1
so that network progress is what's measured
2012-04-13 Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closureShea Levy1-3/+4
2012-04-10 Unconfuse RobEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-03-19 Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivationEelco Dolstra2-0/+43
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
2012-03-05 nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdoutEelco Dolstra1-1/+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-closureEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2012-01-18 * Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2012-01-18 * Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a rather unhelpful error message: Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter expects.
2012-01-12 * ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension onEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.
2012-01-11 perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'.Ludovic Courtès1-1/+2
2012-01-11 * Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-01-05 * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some otherEelco Dolstra1-5/+1
scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-03 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-01-03 * Ignore missing manifest symlinks.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-01-03 * Add a test for nix-channel.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
