2008-08-04 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2008-08-02 | * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -35/+42 | |
again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout. | |||||
2008-07-18 | * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon). | |||||

2007-08-12 | * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -10/+48 | |
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster (NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with each other. The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas" takes a bit longer. Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR" on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway). * Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception). | |||||
2007-01-23 | * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+15 | |
path can be created by copying it from another location in the file system. This is useful in the NixOS installation. | |||||
2007-01-23 | * Successors have been gone for ages. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+1 | |
2007-01-13 | * Removed chroot support. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+0 | |
2006-10-04 | * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir(). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+4 | |
2006-09-25 | * Clean up calls to system(). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -11/+11 | |
2006-08-05 | prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. | Armijn Hemel | 1 | -0/+1 | |
2006-08-04 | * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+2 | |
2005-09-16 | * Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help in | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
setuid installations. | |||||
2005-09-15 | * Use a proper temporary directory. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+19 | |
2005-05-10 | * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -16/+32 | |
unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths. | |||||
2005-04-12 | * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
`--isvalid' flag in nix-store. | |||||
2005-03-25 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+1 | |
2005-03-14 | * Pass `--base32' unless using MD5. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+3 | |
2005-03-14 | * Parse new hash format properly. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+15 | |
2005-02-25 | * Add a version number to manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+4 | |
2005-02-24 | * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+5 | |
too. * Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather unlikely there). | |||||
2005-01-25 | * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
invariant by registering references through the manifest. * Added a test for nix-pull. | |||||
2005-01-14 | * Use absolute paths. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+6 | |
2005-01-12 | * Print out less garbage. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+10 | |
2004-12-30 | * More instrumentation (statistics go to /nix/var/log/nix/downloads). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+6 | |
2004-12-30 | * Fix handling of chained patches: don't skip patches if intermediate | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -13/+20 | |
paths are missing, etc. | |||||
2004-12-30 | * Some logging for evaluation. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+14 | |
2004-12-29 | * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
distribution insofar they are applicable. | |||||
2004-12-20 | * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+218 | |
* Use the new patch downloader. |
