2009-04-16 * Cleanup.Eelco Dolstra1-15/+6
2009-03-29 * Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slotEelco Dolstra1-4/+8
was last used.
2009-03-29 * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hookEelco Dolstra1-5/+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 Dolstra2-26/+10
which is much faster.
2009-03-28 * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use fileEelco Dolstra1-7/+2
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28 * Clean up the output a bit.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+5
2009-03-19 * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10Eelco Dolstra1-1/+6
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19 * Disregard the Hash field in manifests.Eelco Dolstra1-22/+5
2009-03-18 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and makeEelco Dolstra1-5/+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 Dolstra1-1/+8
2009-02-27 * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests.Eelco Dolstra3-11/+11
2009-02-27 * Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
the size of the download isn't known in advance.
2009-02-27 * nix-build: support --option.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+7
2009-02-27 * nix-channel: use nix-build.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+6
2009-02-27 * Check the manifest version.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+4
2009-02-26 * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+12
2009-02-19 * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash ofEelco Dolstra1-18/+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 substitutionMichael Raskin1-1/+2
2009-02-03 * Build hook: compress the transferred data.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2009-02-02 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundantEelco Dolstra1-13/+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 failuresEelco Dolstra1-2/+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).

2008-12-04 * Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2008-12-04 * Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. ThisEelco Dolstra1-5/+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 isEelco Dolstra1-6/+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.
2008-12-04 * Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remoteEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04 * Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machineEelco Dolstra1-24/+24
list like root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has remote builds enabled.
2008-12-04 * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: theEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even succeed.

2008-11-20 * Urgh.Eelco Dolstra8-21/+29
2008-11-19 * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as aEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string. Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't be copied to the remote machine.)
2008-11-18 * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.Eelco Dolstra3-165/+0
2008-09-08 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-08-29 Added nix-http-export.cgi to extra distributed scripts; so it can be ↵Michael Raskin1-2/+3
installed from releases, not only from SVN.
2008-08-06 Updates to nix-reduce-buildMichael Raskin1-26/+50
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies). Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters. Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.
2008-08-04 * nix-build: `--dry-run' flag.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+9
2008-08-04 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+3
2008-08-02 Updates to nix-reduce-build: only realize fixed derivations if user asks so, ↵Michael Raskin1-1/+32
or only use substituters. Oh, and add possibility to use : for things like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs:-A:gnused
2008-08-02 * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctlyEelco Dolstra2-67/+81
again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout.
2008-07-23 * A quick hack to make nix-prefetch-url support mirror:// URLs. ItEelco Dolstra1-0/+22
requires that $NIXPKGS_ALL points at a Nixpkgs tree.
2008-07-23 * Make sure that copy-from-other-stores.pl is built.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2008-07-18 * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOSEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon).
2008-07-18 * Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,Eelco Dolstra2-9/+16
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good name...) is set. * Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES. E.g. you could set it to /mnts/*/nix or something. * Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
2008-07-12 * Quick prototype of a substituter that copies paths from other NixEelco Dolstra2-1/+84
stores (typically remote Nix stores mounted via e.g. NFS, or the Nix store on the NixOS installation CD). Example use: $ sshfs foo@example.org:/ /mnt $ NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix \ NIX_SUBSTITUTERS=.../copy-from-other-stores.pl \ nix-env -i foo This will be especially useful for the installation CD since it doesn't require a manifest for the CD contents.
2008-06-14 Also trying to build derivers in case we cannot get substitutersMichael Raskin1-1/+9
2008-06-14 Added local best-effort builds (i.e. one failure does not ruin all packages ↵Michael Raskin2-3/+17
you would like to see built)
2008-06-13 Stupid error in scriptMichael Raskin1-1/+1
2008-06-13 OK, I will believe that fix does no worse..Michael Raskin1-1/+1
2008-06-12 Updated help textMichael Raskin1-6/+15
