2006-02-01	* Add @bindir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-01-26	* Don't force a build of derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-01-12	* New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+152
	useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) \| ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure
2005-12-13	* Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7
	nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-11-17	* FreeBSD compatibility fix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2005-10-29	* Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+11

2005-10-11	add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed	Armijn Hemel	1	-1/+1
	for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2005-09-21	* Remove other uses of IPC::Open2.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+8

2005-09-21	* Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+2
	the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead. This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).
2005-09-16	* Remove dead file.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2005-09-16	* Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	setuid installations.
2005-09-15	* Use a proper temporary directory.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+19

2005-07-13	* nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+38
	So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.
2005-06-18	* Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+13
	handle it. It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive. Probably we will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring max(17n,9n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't there).
2005-05-10	* Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+32
	unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths.
2005-04-12	* Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	`--isvalid' flag in nix-store.
2005-04-12	* Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot be reconstructed fully).
2005-04-08	* nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-04-07	* Get rid of fetchurl, we don't need it anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+8

2005-04-07	* `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output	Eelco Dolstra	1	-32/+31
	derivations. This is mostly to simplify the implementation of nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid installations. * Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
2005-04-04	* I said it couldn't be done. I was wrong.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+111

2005-03-25	* Better error checking.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2005-03-18	* Ignore hash conflicts in gc-releases.pl.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+10

2005-03-15	* Use SHA-256 for nix-push.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-18/+30

2005-03-14	* Idem.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-03-14	* Pass `--base32' unless using MD5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2005-03-14	* Parse new hash format properly.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+15

2005-03-14	* Print SHA-1 hashes in base-32 by default.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2005-03-14	* Prefix hash algorithm in patch generator too.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+9

2005-03-14	* Set NAR name to content hash; previous nix-push names were not	Eelco Dolstra	2	-25/+13
	unique. * Drop `hashAlgo' attribute in manifests; prefix hashes with the hash algorithm instead.
2005-03-14	* Script to garbage collect nix-push directories. It prints out all	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+75
	file names in the directory not included in any of the manifests specified on the command line.
2005-03-11	* nix-install-package: install outPath, not drvPath, for now.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+3
	* nix-prefecth-url: print out in base-16.
2005-03-03	* Channel fix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-03-01	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-03-01	* Add missing file to dist.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2005-03-01	* Use a weighted use heuristic to disambiguate between multiple	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+77
	occurances of a component. If the shortest path distance between a component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2. This expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby uses. For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses, but they are further away), and between the GCC of the final stdenv and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).
2005-02-28	* Added a disambiguation heuristic: if two components have the same	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+24
	name but differ to much in sice (by more than a factor of 3), then never generate a patch.
2005-02-25	* Add a version number to manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+16

2005-02-25	* Pause if errors occur.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-02-25	* nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+34
	by the build farm. See e.g., http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/; the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with `nix-install-package'). Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be added to the user environment. This makes these packages independent from Nix expression evolution. Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for maintenance. * Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.
2005-02-24	* Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it	Eelco Dolstra	4	-13/+31
	too. * Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather unlikely there).
2005-02-24	* (Unnecessary) refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-29/+36

2005-02-22	* Support for fixed-output hashes over directory trees (i.e., over the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-17	* Fix nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-25/+63
	* Add `--help' flag; fixes NIX-5. * Add `--remove' flag; fixes NIX-6. * Add `--list' flag.
2005-02-09	* Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-25/+17
	* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push. * Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path). * Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.
2005-02-08	* Set umask to prevent permission problems.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2005-02-08	* Better error reporting in readmanifest.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+3
	* Use force flag in `mv' to prevent silly interactive questions (this happens with shared Nix stores).
2005-02-01	* Remove debug code.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-02-01	* Make check fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2005-02-01	* Move root finding from `nix-collect-garbage' to `nix-store --gc'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-83/+2
	This was necessary becase root finding must be done after acquisition of the global GC lock. This makes `nix-collect-garbage' obsolete; it is now just a wrapper around `nix-store --gc'. * Automatically remove stale GC roots (i.e., indirect GC roots that point to non-existent paths).
