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
2006-08-01 * Better error checking.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-08-01 add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. ThisArmijn Hemel1-0/+9
is only for local copies (so file:///)
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-21 * Don't try to do DNS lookups.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+2
2006-07-19 * Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,Eelco Dolstra2-2/+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 Dolstra3-2/+21
2006-05-08 * Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+8
2006-03-14 * Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-9/+31
$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache
2006-03-10 * Write messages to stderr, not stdout.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-03-03 * More online help.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+15
2006-03-03 * Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns outEelco Dolstra1-78/+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 Dolstra1-3/+0
2006-02-24 * A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base orEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-02-22 * Separate the cache reading code.Eelco Dolstra2-25/+28
2006-02-22 * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+2
2006-02-22 * Use right directories for NAR files and patches.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+5
* Print errors to STDERR.
2006-02-10 * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias).Eelco Dolstra1-6/+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 Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-01-26 * Don't force a build of derivations.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
