Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2010-02-16	* Since Hydra now escapes `+', `=' and `?' to %NN in URIs,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	nix-prefetch-url should unescape them, because `%' is not a valid character in store path names.
2010-02-04	* "Fix" incorrect help message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-04	* Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering ssh	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+12
	processes.
2010-02-04	* Doh! The scope of $slotLock should extend to the end of the script,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	because otherwise the lock will be released at the end of the while loop.
2010-02-04	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-04	* Doh! Calling `system' in an END block causes the exit status in $?	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	to be changed to 0.
2010-02-04	* Remove the `cat' calls when not using --gzip.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7

2010-02-04	* Revert r19796 for now.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-03	* Respect @sysconfdir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-03	* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the other	Eelco Dolstra	3	-73/+77
	machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build farm more robust to failures.
2010-02-03	* Use SSH connection sharing in the remote build script.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-36/+16
	* Removed the Cygwin password hack since the problem is apparently fixed in Visual Studio.
2010-02-03	* nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, or	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+49
	recycle an already existing connection (using OpenSSH's connection sharing feature).
2010-02-02	* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	support deleting the current directory.
2010-01-25	* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
2009-12-09	* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the same	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+23
	URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09	* nix-build: be less verbose.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2009-11-17	* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the calling	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Nix though.
2009-11-13	* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+9
	doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente.
2009-09-17	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2009-09-17	* build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+67
	giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then the second machine and so on. This should improve utilisation of the Hydra build farm a lot. Also take an optional speed factor into account to cause fast machines to be preferred over slower machines with a similar load.
2009-09-17	* build-remote.pl: allow the system type to be a comma-separated list	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+4
	of system types. Don't treat the x86_64-linux system type specially.
2009-07-15	* nix-build: pass the --show-trace flag.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2009-06-10	* nix-build: if nix-instantiate or nix-store fails due to a signal	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+8
	(e.g. out of memory or a segfault), print an error message. Otherwise the user doesn't see anything.
2009-04-21	* Machines of type x86_64-linux can do i686-linux builds.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2009-04-16	* Cleanup.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+6

2009-03-29	* Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8
	was last used.
2009-03-29	* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2
	(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the first machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28	* nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-26/+10
	which is much faster.
2009-03-28	* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+2
	descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28	* Clean up the output a bit.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5

2009-03-19	* Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6
	(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19	* Disregard the Hash field in manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-22/+5

2009-03-18	* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+1
	sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built, and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18	* Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2009-02-27	* nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-11/+11

2009-02-27	* Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful when	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	the size of the download isn't known in advance.
2009-02-27	* nix-build: support --option.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2009-02-27	* nix-channel: use nix-build.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+6

2009-02-27	* Check the manifest version.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4

2009-02-26	* Handle base-16 hashes in manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+12

2009-02-19	* download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+30
	downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store path. When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the uncompressed NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use that instead for checking the integrity of the download.
2009-02-19	Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution	Michael Raskin	1	-1/+2

2009-02-03	* Build hook: compress the transferred data.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2009-02-02	* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+2
	scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-01-13	* When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the builder failed). This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it makes sense to retry a build).
2009-01-13	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-12-04	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2008-12-04	* Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2008-12-04	* Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6
	makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store invocation will lead to at least one local build. Will come up with a better solution later...
2008-12-04	* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone", otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed the maximum load on a machine.
