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).
2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-07-20	* Create a symlink to /nix/var/nix/manifests in /nix/var/nix/gcroots	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	if it doesn't exist.
2011-07-13	* Fix concurrency issues in download-using-manifests' handling of the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+12
	SQLite manifest cache. The DBI AutoCommit feature caused every process to have an active transaction at all times, which could indefinitely block processes wanting to update the manifest cache. * Disable fsync() in the manifest cache because we don't need integrity (the cache can always be recreated if it gets corrupted).
2011-04-19	* nix-install-package: unset NIX_REMOTE because $NIX_MANIFESTS_DIR	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	doesn't work when building through the Nix daemon. This also ensures an error message when the user doesn't have sufficient privileges to do nix-pull.
2011-04-11	* Read manifests directly into the database, rather than first reading	Eelco Dolstra	1	-60/+65
	them into memory. This brings memory use down to (more or less) O(1). For instance, on my test case, the maximum resident size of download-using-manifests while filling the DB went from 142 MiB to 11 MiB.
2011-04-11	* Lock the database during updates.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2011-04-11	* configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the	Eelco Dolstra	5	-6/+4
	location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and --with-dbd-sqlite.
2011-04-11	* Subtle bug: if you import File::stat in one module, it affects other	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+7
	modules as well. So use symbolic field names everywhere (which is nicer anyway).
2011-04-11	* Create $manifestDir if it doesn't exist.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2011-04-10	* Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-30/+164
	This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests substituter, especially if manifests are very large. For instance, one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s. It also significantly reduces memory use. The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite. It's updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from /nix/var/nix/manifests. It might be interesting to have nix-pull store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface to delete manifests from the DB.
2011-04-06	* Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer used	Eelco Dolstra	7	-47/+10
	and redundant anyway.
2011-03-16	* Print a better error message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-02-17	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-02-17	* nix-push: handle the case where the hash is not set in the DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10

2010-12-22	* In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from Perl.
2010-12-15	* Disable X11 forwarding, it's not needed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2010-12-15	* nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	`+' and `?' in filenames. This is very slow if /nix/store is very large. (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to bypass the shell entirely.)
2010-12-13	* nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7
	failure. The build hook can use this to distinguish between transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13	* When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+12
	of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.
