| 2012-07-27 | Let build.cc verify the expected hash of a substituter's output | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -11/+2 | |
| Since SubstitutionGoal::finished() in build.cc computes the hash anyway, we can prevent the inefficiency of computing the hash twice by letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can then verify it. | |||||
| 2012-07-27 | download-using-manifests: Don't use nix-prefetch-url | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -41/+29 | |
| Instead call curl directly and pipe it into ‘nix-store --restore’. This saves I/O and prevents creating garbage in the Nix store. | |||||
| 2012-07-11 | Update the other substituters | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -40/+38 | |
| 2011-11-29 | * download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -37/+29 | |
| 2011-10-10 | * Set the executable bit on scripts. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+0 | |
| 2011-10-10 | * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -16/+14 | |
| the Nix:: namespace. | |||||
| 2011-07-13 | * Fix concurrency issues in download-using-manifests' handling of the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+6 | |
| SQLite manifest cache. The DBI AutoCommit feature caused every process to have an active transaction at all times, which could indefinitely block processes wanting to update the manifest cache. * Disable fsync() in the manifest cache because we don't need integrity (the cache can always be recreated if it gets corrupted). | |||||
| 2011-04-11 | * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and --with-dbd-sqlite. | |||||
| 2011-04-10 | * Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -26/+26 | |
| This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests substituter, especially if manifests are very large. For instance, one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s. It also significantly reduces memory use. The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite. It's updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from /nix/var/nix/manifests. It might be interesting to have nix-pull store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface to delete manifests from the DB. | |||||
| 2011-04-06 | * Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer used | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -20/+2 | |
| and redundant anyway. | |||||
| 2011-03-16 | * Print a better error message. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2010-12-22 | * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
| This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from Perl. | |||||
| 2010-12-13 | * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+12 | |
| of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'. | |||||
| 2010-12-05 | * Use CamelCase for the Perl modules. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2010-11-17 | * Oops. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2010-11-17 | * When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, use | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+7 | |
| `nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than `nix-hash'. However, only do this for estimating the size of a download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of course). | |||||
| 2010-11-17 | * In the download size indication, take binary patches into account. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -144/+161 | |
| Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much. | |||||
| 2010-11-17 | * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
| will approximately require. | |||||
| 2010-02-04 | * "Fix" incorrect help message. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2010-02-02 | * Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+0 | |
| support deleting the current directory. | |||||
| 2009-03-19 | * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10 | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+6 | |
| (which should therefore be backwards compatible). | |||||
| 2009-02-27 | * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2009-02-26 | * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+12 | |
| 2009-02-19 | * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -18/+30 | |
| downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store path. When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use that instead for checking the integrity of the download. | |||||
| 2008-11-20 | * Urgh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+9 | |
| 2008-09-08 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 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). | |||||
| 2007-10-22 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+0 | |
| 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 | |
