2007-03-20	* Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+17
	modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
2006-09-20	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-07-21	* Don't try to do DNS lookups.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-07-19	* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+58
	such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program).
