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

2006-09-25	* Use builtins.toPath.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-21	* `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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 Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-09-20	* Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5
	* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

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).
