2006-09-20 | * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -10/+17 | |
NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help. | |||||
2006-09-19 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+1 | |
2006-09-19 | * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+9 | |
* Restore the mtime on modified directories. | |||||
2006-09-19 | * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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 Dolstra | 1 | -19/+12 | |
2006-09-19 | * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -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): removes | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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 Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-08-08 | rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. Default | Armijn Hemel | 1 | -4/+4 | |
values are not changed. | |||||
2006-08-07 | * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -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 Hemel | 1 | -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 Hemel | 2 | -0/+4 | |
2006-08-04 | * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+3 | |
2006-08-04 | * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+2 | |
2006-08-03 | urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC! | Armijn Hemel | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-08-01 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2006-08-01 | add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. This | Armijn Hemel | 1 | -0/+9 | |
is only for local copies (so file:///) | |||||
2006-07-28 | * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+10 | |
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks. | |||||
2006-07-21 | * Don't try to do DNS lookups. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -2/+2 | |
2006-07-19 | * Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector, | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -2/+62 | |
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). | |||||
2006-05-31 | * This may be useful in the future. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -2/+21 | |
2006-05-08 | * Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+8 | |
2006-03-14 | * Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g., | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -9/+31 | |
$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache | |||||
2006-03-10 | * Write messages to stderr, not stdout. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-03-03 | * More online help. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+15 | |
2006-03-03 | * Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -78/+87 | |
that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD). Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency). | |||||
2006-02-24 | * Remove debug statement. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+0 | |
2006-02-24 | * A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base or | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+77 | |
target no longer applies to any available release. This is a partial fix for NIX-34 (when producing linear patch sequences between releases, the number of patches grows without bound). | |||||
2006-02-24 | * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2006-02-22 | * Separate the cache reading code. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -25/+28 | |
2006-02-22 | * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+2 | |
2006-02-22 | * Use right directories for NAR files and patches. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+5 | |
* Print errors to STDERR. | |||||
2006-02-10 | * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+15 | |
Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression! | |||||
2006-02-01 | * Add @bindir@. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2006-01-26 | * Don't force a build of derivations. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+1 | |
2006-01-12 | * New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -2/+152 | |
useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure | |||||
2005-12-13 | * Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+7 | |
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility). | |||||
2005-11-17 | * FreeBSD compatibility fix. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
2005-10-29 | * Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+11 | |
2005-10-11 | add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed | Armijn Hemel | 1 | -1/+1 | |
for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance. | |||||
2005-09-21 | * Remove other uses of IPC::Open2. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -20/+8 | |
2005-09-21 | * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+2 | |
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead. This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures). | |||||
2005-09-16 | * Remove dead file. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+0 | |
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 | |
2005-07-13 | * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -28/+38 | |
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'. | |||||
2005-06-18 | * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+13 | |
handle it. It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive. Probably we will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't there). | |||||
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. | |||||
2005-04-12 | * Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+4 | |
database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot be reconstructed fully). |
