2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	1	-91/+0
	usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-09-18	* Remove garbage.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2

2007-09-17	* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8
	Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute name. Also recurses into directories. * nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the ~/.nix-defexpr symlink. * nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink ~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't override any default Nix expressions but combines with them. This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use it as a default for nix-env: $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time. (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)
2007-09-04	* nix-push / generate-patches: bzip the manifest.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+12

2007-08-22	* nix-channel: supports users who don't have write permission to the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+21
	manifests directory. In that case, we don't do a nix-pull, so the user gets pure source deployment. The directory /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/$USER should be writable. (It's created automatically if /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user is writable, e.g. if it has 1777 permission.)
2007-08-15	* Show errors in nix-prefetch-url.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+5

2007-08-14	* Fix the tests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	3	-52/+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).
2007-08-10	* nix-pull: support bzipped manifests: when doing a nix-pull on $url,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+32
	try $url.bz2 first.
2007-08-10	* Enable nix-prefetch-url caching in nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+9

2007-08-10	* Don't rely on /dev/stdin.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-08-09	* nix-pull: using nix-prefetch-url (so that we get caching for free),	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+9
	and store the manifests in the Nix store. (So now /nix/var/nix/manifests/ just contains symlinks to the store and is searched for GC roots.)
2007-08-09	* nix-prefetch-url: support caching. If the environment variable	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+58
	NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is set, then nix-prefetch-url will store the hash and timestamp of downloaded files in the directory $NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE. This allows it to figure out if the file is still in the Nix store.
2007-06-11	* Check against creation of GC roots in the store. Those roots don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	work, because findRoots() stops when it encounters a symlink to the store. And of course the store is supposed to be read-only.
2007-06-04	* Remove debug statement.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2007-05-02	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2007-05-01	* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+9
	get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g., {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible, e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-03-30	* Make the maximum patch size configurable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+9

2007-03-27	* Forgot a @bindir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-03-26	* `nix-copy-closure --from': copy from a remote machine instead of to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+62
	a remote machine.
2007-03-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-35/+53

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.
2007-03-13	* Remove old generations in all directories under	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	the remote system to make sure that Nix is in the $PATH.
2007-03-01	* sh -> bash.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-02-26	* Error message to stdout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-02-22	* nix-copy-closure: force a login shell on the remote machine to make	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-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 on	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2007-01-23	* New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store	Eelco Dolstra	8	-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 Dolstra	8	-32/+15

2007-01-22	* nix-prefetch-url: change the default hash to SHA-256 (in base-32).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-01-13	* nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	2	-5/+0

2007-01-11	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-01-11	* Install generate-patches into libexec.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-01-08	* Reject patches that are larger than a certain fraction of the full archive	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-8/+15

2006-12-15	* Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-12-08	* Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-10-31	* Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-28	* Don't use EPSV.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-19	* nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6

2006-10-12	* Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB to	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl.
2006-10-04	* tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir().	Eelco Dolstra	7	-53/+41

2006-09-25	* Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 at	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	8	-26/+26
