2003-07-16 * Bug fix: slices are transitive, so if we detect that an Eelco Dolstra1-5/+10
input path is referenced in an output paths, we also have to add all ids referenced by that input path. * Better debug assertions to catch these sorts of errors.
2003-07-16 * Substitute fixes.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+38
2003-07-16 * Fix the -qr query.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+30
2003-07-16 * Fix self-referential outputs.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+20
* Fix -qp query.
2003-07-15 * Get Fix and Nix to work again.Eelco Dolstra1-223/+42
2003-07-15 * The new normaliser now passes the unit tests.Eelco Dolstra1-15/+103
2003-07-15 * Basic work on allowing derive expressions to build multiple paths.Eelco Dolstra1-28/+210
This is not entirely trivial since this introduces the possibility of mutual recursion. * Made normal forms self-contained. * Use unique ids, not content hashes, for content referencing.
2003-07-14 * After building, scan for actual file system references asEelco Dolstra1-3/+32
opposed to declared references. This prunes the reference graph, thus allowing better garbage collection and more efficient derivate distribution.
2003-07-10 * A command to register successor fstate expressions.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+7
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now, since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is known. Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was missing.
2003-07-10 * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For anyEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash. This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised) fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy (fetching through `wget') built in. The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side. Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.
2003-07-10 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create NixEelco Dolstra1-21/+1
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar). * queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying the target path (which may be empty). * Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix. TODO: bootstrap Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.
2003-07-09 * Outline of the new scheme for derivate distribution.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2003-07-09 * When computing the set of paths referenced by an expression, alsoEelco Dolstra1-36/+51
include the paths of the subterms.
2003-07-08 * Canonicalise paths so that Fix produces identical NixEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
expressions for identical inputs.
2003-07-08 * The output of a Derive() node is not a referenced path.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2003-07-08 * A command to query the paths referenced by an fstate expression.Eelco Dolstra1-52/+96
* Use a temporary directory for build actions.
2003-07-07 * Make dbRefs a mapping from Hash to [Path].Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
