2012-05-01	Use mkpath instead of make_path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Perl <= 5.10 doesn't have make_path. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2493981.
2012-04-30	Support mandatory system features in the build hook	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8
	Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's requiredSystemFeatures attribute. One application is performance testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests (and nothing else). Then we would add the label "perf" to the machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing derivations.
2012-04-24	Fix a warning in the build hook about $progressViewer	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-04-18	Fix URL set by nix-channel	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-04-16	Hack to prevent accumulation of old manifests	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3

2012-04-14	If the (redirected) channel URL contains a version number, use it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7

2012-04-14	Follow redirects early to ensure consistency between the manifest and the ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	tarball Without this change, if the URL is a redirect that changes in between, we can get a manifest that doesn't match the tarball.
2012-04-14	Remove unnecessary "system" argument	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-04-14	nix-channel improvements	Eelco Dolstra	1	-69/+60
	"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
2012-04-13	If "pv" is available at compile time, hard-code its path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-04-13	nix-copy-closure: Move the progressViewer directly adjacent to the ssh call ↵	Shea Levy	1	-1/+1
	so that network progress is what's measured
2012-04-13	Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closure	Shea Levy	1	-2/+8

2012-04-10	Handle the case where $SHELL is not set	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2012-04-04	nix-generate-patches: Optionally write new patches to $NIX_ALL_PATCHES	Hydra mirror	1	-0/+10

2012-04-04	Follow redirects when checking for the existence of MANIFEST.bz2	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	If we don't follow redirects, we might think that MANIFEST.bz2 exists just because the HEAD request succeeds on the redirector URI.
2012-03-27	Update "nix-build --help"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6

2012-03-27	Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all dependencies to be built. For instance, if we want to do "--run-env" on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built. So we can do: $ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball' This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball" regular expression. The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number of times.
2012-03-27	Allow the command executed by "nix-build --run-env" to be overriden with ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	--command
2012-03-19	Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+29
	This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise the environment further. The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree. Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of $PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup. Example session: $ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm (the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...) $ tar xf $src $ ./configure $ make $ emacs (... hack source ...) $ make $ ./xterm
2012-03-05	nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05	Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2012-03-05	build-remote.pl: don't wait forever for the upload lock	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+17
	In the build hook, don't wait forever to get the upload lock. This ensures progress if another process gets stuck while holding the upload lock.
2012-02-02	* nix-channel: fail if we don't have write permission to the manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+7
	directory. Previously in this situation we did add the Nix expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing error messages.
2012-01-13	* nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporary	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+9
	directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
2012-01-05	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-01-05	* Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other	Eelco Dolstra	5	-5/+5
	scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-03	* Add a test for nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+10
	* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03	* Use Nix::Config.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-22/+15

2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-12-21	* Security: make sure the lock files used by build-remote.pl are not	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	readable to other users. Otherwise, any user can open the lock file for reading and lock it, thus DoSing the remote build mechanism.
2011-12-21	* Use a lock to ensure that only one build-remote instance can copy a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	closure to a given machine at the same time. This prevents the case where multiple instances try to copy the same missing store path to the target machine, which is very wasteful.
2011-12-15	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-12-02	* nix-prefetch-url: rewritten in Perl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-135/+98

2011-11-29	* download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-37/+29

2011-11-29	* For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	base-32. (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-29	* Get rid of the shell in ssh calls.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2011-11-23	* Add bzip2 and xz support to nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9

2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra	2	-30/+10
	‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23	* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2011-11-16	* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+3
	read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16	* Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+1
	disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-10-19	* Print a consistent message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-10-18	* nix-copy-closure: support ‘--dry-run’ and ‘--include-outputs’.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+23

2011-10-11	* Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+3

2011-10-11	* Move SSH.pm.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-62/+7

2011-10-10	* Set the executable bit on scripts.	Eelco Dolstra	14	-0/+3

2011-10-10	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra	11	-803/+48
	the Nix:: namespace.
2011-08-27	* Update the cleanup script.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+12

2011-08-17	* Use last_insert_id instead of sqlite_last_insert_rowid, which you're	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	not really supposed to use according to the DBD::SQLite docs, and fails on some systems (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1246662).
