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.

2008-08-04	* 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

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.
