2009-04-16 | * Cleanup. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -15/+6 | |
2009-03-19 | * Disregard the Hash field in manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -22/+5 | |
2007-09-04 | * nix-push / generate-patches: bzip the manifest. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+8 | |
2007-01-23 | * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+19 | |
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 | -8/+1 | |
2006-02-24 | * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2005-03-18 | * Ignore hash conflicts in gc-releases.pl. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+8 | |
2005-03-14 | * Set NAR name to content hash; previous nix-push names were not | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -14/+3 | |
unique. * Drop `hashAlgo' attribute in manifests; prefix hashes with the hash algorithm instead. | |||||
2005-02-25 | * Add a version number to manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+9 | |
2005-02-24 | * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+15 | |
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). | |||||
2005-02-09 | * Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+6 | |
* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push. * Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path). * Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests. | |||||
2005-02-08 | * Better error reporting in readmanifest. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
* Use force flag in `mv' to prevent silly interactive questions (this happens with shared Nix stores). | |||||
2005-01-25 | * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+8 | |
invariant by registering references through the manifest. * Added a test for nix-pull. | |||||
2004-12-29 | * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+3 | |
distribution insofar they are applicable. | |||||
2004-12-29 | * Atomic file replacement is good. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+4 | |
2004-12-29 | * A utility to generate patches between releases based on their | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -25/+33 | |
manifests. | |||||
2004-12-28 | * Added a function to write manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -15/+57 | |
2004-12-20 | * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+9 | |
* Use the new patch downloader. | |||||
2004-12-13 | * Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -30/+91 | |
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests. Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be used to construct the target path. In particular, patches can be chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible). A shortest path algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded (the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine taking the network speed to the various source into account). Patches are binary deltas between two store paths. To be precise, they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store paths. The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled automatically. The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation of unchanged files (by hard-linking). | |||||
2004-10-20 | * Show error messages from curl. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2004-06-21 | * Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+6 | |
2004-04-06 | * Switched from wget to curl. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
* Made the dependencies on bzip2 and the shell explicit. | |||||
2004-02-10 | * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e., `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended. * nix-prefetch-url works again. | |||||
2004-01-16 | * Doh! Edited `readmanifest.pm' instead of `readmanifest.pm.in'. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -9/+9 | |
2003-12-05 | * Refactoring: put the manifest-reading code in a separate file. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+72 | |
