2009-03-29	* Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8
	was last used.
2009-03-29	* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2
	(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the first machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28	* nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	which is much faster.
2009-03-28	* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+2
	descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28	* Clean up the output a bit.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5

2009-02-03	* Build hook: compress the transferred data.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2009-02-02	* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+2
	scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-01-13	* When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the builder failed). This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it makes sense to retry a build).
2008-12-04	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2008-12-04	* Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2008-12-04	* Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6
	makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store invocation will lead to at least one local build. Will come up with a better solution later...
2008-12-04	* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone", otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed the maximum load on a machine.
2008-12-04	* Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remote	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6
	nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04	* Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machine	Eelco Dolstra	1	-24/+24
	list like root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has remote builds enabled.
2007-11-15	* Add build-remote.pl to the Nix distribution.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+208
