2012-11-26	Undo accidental debug change	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+21
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-23	nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+13

2012-11-09	Use a shorter Nixpkgs channel URL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-06	download-from-binary-cache: Try next cache if downloading a NAR fails	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-06	Process binary caches in order of priority	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+14
	Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06	nix-push: Handle pushing a symlink	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2012-11-06	Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
2012-11-06	Fix "Not an ARRAY reference" error	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602). Ah well.
2012-10-23	nix-prefetch-url: Improve option handling	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+20

2012-10-18	nix-push: Add a flag ‘--manifest-path’ to write the manifest to another ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	directory
2012-10-17	nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files in the store, rather than copying them. This is faster and requires less disk space. However, it doesn't work if the store is on a different file system.
2012-10-17	nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist	Eelco Dolstra	4	-64/+49
	This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist in the binary cache.
2012-10-11	download-from-binary-cache: Remove duplicate entries in trustedURLs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra	7	-83/+28
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03	nix-build: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-02	Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+11
	This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc.
2012-09-21	Style fix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+6

2012-09-19	Support xz compression in the download-using-manifests substituter	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+9

2012-09-13	nix-collect-garbage: Support --dry-run	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+6

2012-09-13	nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version	Eelco Dolstra	1	-44/+11
	Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 copied most of the Nix shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls the "stat" command). So go back to the simple single-user version. Fixes #49.
2012-09-13	Put a time-to-live on negative binary cache lookups	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+30
	Negative lookups are purged from the DB after a day, at most once per day. However, for non-"have" lookups (e.g. all except "nix-env -qas"), negative lookups are ignored after one hour. This is to ensure that you don't have to wait a day for an operation like "nix-env -i" to start using new binaries in the cache. Should probably make this configurable.
2012-09-13	Doh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-09-13	nix-channel: Add option to force fetching of manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2012-09-13	Delete manifests in "nix-channel --remove" or when a binary cache is available	Eelco Dolstra	3	-14/+8

2012-09-12	Build hook: Pass the timeout to the remote builder	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	Note that this will only work if the client has a very recent Nix version (post 15e1b2c223494ecb5efefc3ea0e3b926a6b1d7dc), otherwise the --option flag will just be ignored. Fixes #50.
2012-09-12	Compatibility fix for WWW::Curl < 4.14	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Older versions of WWW::Curl don't support scalar references for CURLOPT_WRITEDATA directly. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3017188
2012-09-11	Support building a derivation if some outputs are already valid	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+12
	This handles the chroot and build hook cases, which are easy. Supporting the non-chroot-build case will require more work (hash rewriting!). Issue #21.
2012-08-27	Disable the binary cache substituter by default for now	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2

2012-08-27	Drop dependency on List::MoreUtils	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
2012-08-01	nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels	Eelco Dolstra	2	-17/+30
	Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.
2012-08-01	download-from-binary-cache: Remove duplicate URLs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-08-01	Report substituter errors to clients of the Nix daemon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+3

2012-07-31	Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+27
	For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in nix.conf.
2012-07-30	Do some validation of URLs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+8

2012-07-30	Get rid of $NIX_BINARY_CACHES	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2
	You can use ‘--option binary-caches URLs’ instead.
2012-07-30	nix-install-package: Support binary caches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+19
	The .nixpkg file format is extended to optionally include the URL of a binary cache, which will be used in preference to the manifest URL (which can be set to a non-existent value).
2012-07-27	Allow a binary cache to declare that it doesn't support "nix-env -qas"	Eelco Dolstra	2	-85/+121
	Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD requests. So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named "nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this. It also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries to a binary cache for a different store prefix.
2012-07-27	Let build.cc verify the expected hash of a substituter's output	Eelco Dolstra	3	-20/+9
	Since SubstitutionGoal::finished() in build.cc computes the hash anyway, we can prevent the inefficiency of computing the hash twice by letting the substituter tell Nix about the expected hash, which can then verify it.
2012-07-27	download-using-manifests: Don't use nix-prefetch-url	Eelco Dolstra	2	-42/+30
	Instead call curl directly and pipe it into ‘nix-store --restore’. This saves I/O and prevents creating garbage in the Nix store.
2012-07-27	Remove trailing whitespace / tabs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-17/+17

2012-07-27	download-from-binary-cache: Only use the default cache for /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2012-07-26	nix-push: Support generating a manifest again	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+34
	This makes all the tests succeed. Woohoo!
2012-07-26	nix-push: Remove the upload feature	Eelco Dolstra	1	-51/+24

2012-07-26	download-from-binary-cache: Support file://	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+14
	The file:// URI schema requires checking for errors in a more general way. Also, don't cache file:// lookups.
2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+7

2012-07-25	nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 reused the NixOS environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.
2012-07-25	Subscribe to the Nixpkgs rather than NixOS channel	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
