2007-03-26 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-35/+53
2007-03-20 * Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernelEelco Dolstra1-0/+17
modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
2007-03-13 * Remove old generations in all directories underEelco Dolstra1-6/+15
/nix/var/nix/profiles, not just in that directory itself. (NixOS puts profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user.)
2007-03-01 * Get rid of those stupid --login tricks, it's the responsibility ofEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
the remote system to make sure that Nix is in the $PATH.
2007-03-01 * sh -> bash.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2007-02-26 * Error message to stdout.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2007-02-22 * nix-copy-closure: force a login shell on the remote machine to makeEelco Dolstra1-3/+11
sure that nix-store is in the PATH. * nix-copy-closure: option --gzip to compress data.
2007-02-22 * nix-copy-closure: option --sign.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+20
* nix-copy-closure: set SSH options through NIX_SSHOPTS..
2007-02-21 * New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store onEelco Dolstra2-1/+58
another machine through ssh. E.g., $ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn) copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'. This is like `nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the target machine.
2007-02-20 * Close the file - just in case.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2007-01-23 * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a storeEelco Dolstra8-22/+73
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 Dolstra8-32/+15
2007-01-22 * nix-prefetch-url: change the default hash to SHA-256 (in base-32).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2007-01-13 * nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+16
* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and print them on stdout. This allows them to be installed, e.g., "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)". (NIX-64)
2007-01-13 * Removed chroot support.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+0
2007-01-11 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2007-01-11 * Install generate-patches into libexec.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2007-01-08 * Reject patches that are larger than a certain fraction of the full archiveEelco Dolstra1-4/+13
(currently 60%). Large patches aren't very economical.
2007-01-08 * Huge speedup in patch propagation (20 minutes or so to 3 seconds).Eelco Dolstra1-8/+15
2006-12-15 * Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-08 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number ofEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65). This timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting. The default is infinity (0). * Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait(). So also send a conventional kill to the child.
2006-11-18 * Show more progress.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2006-10-31 * Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-10-28 * Don't use EPSV.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-10-19 * nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+6
2006-10-12 * Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB toEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl.
2006-10-04 * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir().Eelco Dolstra7-53/+41
2006-09-25 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properlyEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-25 * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store atEelco Dolstra2-2/+21
a different location than the user's. This makes channels usable as a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under non-standard prefixes. (NIX-57)
2006-09-25 * Clean up calls to system().Eelco Dolstra8-26/+26
2006-09-25 * Use builtins.toPath.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-09-21 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).Eelco Dolstra3-21/+107
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
2006-09-21 * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2006-09-20 * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).Eelco Dolstra2-5/+5
* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20 * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-09-20 * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generatesEelco Dolstra1-10/+17
NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help.
2006-09-19 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-09-19 * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+9
* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
2006-09-19 * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linkingEelco Dolstra1-16/+40
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
2006-09-19 * Cleanups.Eelco Dolstra1-19/+12
2006-09-19 * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount ofEelco Dolstra2-1/+73
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the average size). $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default gcc 11 3.3.6 19293318 3.4.4 21425257 ... average 14942970, waste 149429707 coreutils 6 ... average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space of the Nix approach.
2006-09-06 * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removesEelco Dolstra1-2/+42
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff. Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after this.
2006-08-09 * file:/ -> file://Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-08 rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. DefaultArmijn Hemel1-4/+4
values are not changed.
2006-08-07 * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision betweenEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case insensitive).
2006-08-05 add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we ↵Armijn Hemel1-0/+3
have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on
2006-08-05 prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts.Armijn Hemel2-0/+4
2006-08-04 * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
2006-08-04 * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+2
2006-08-03 urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC!Armijn Hemel1-1/+1
