2013-11-12	Make function calls show up in stack traces again	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+3
	Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.
2013-10-02	Report OOM errors better	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2013-07-30	Detect stack overflows	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it prints: error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion) This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Fixes #35.
2013-03-08	Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2
	This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5

2013-02-19	build-remote: Use the --quiet flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2
	‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.
2012-12-11	On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-20	nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.
2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra	1	-57/+1
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+0

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+0
	Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
2012-07-31	Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+28
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-30	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7

2012-03-13	Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+0
	By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit. This prevents them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.
2012-03-05	nix-worker: put the pid of the caller in argv[1]	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	This is useful for debugging.
2011-12-14	* Remove the terminate handler, which was only really needed because	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+0
	of Berkeley DB (see r8632).
2011-11-29	* Get rid of some superfluous error messages if a substituter fails.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Say "fetch" instead of "substitute".
2011-11-22	* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-24/+2
	libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-09-06	* Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-08-31	* Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-06-30	Add support for the `build-timeout' and `--timeout' options.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+3

2011-02-09	* Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbage	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+0
	collector.
2010-12-13	* nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	failure. The build hook can use this to distinguish between transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-11-17	* Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+7
	will approximately require.
2010-11-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+32

2010-10-29	* Document Boehm GC support.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-10-29	* Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12
	collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-28	* Handle out of memory condition.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+20

2010-08-30	* When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6
	hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder. Only the latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs. * Allow the verbosity to be set through an option. * Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-04	* Remove "auto" and "guess" as synonyms for 0 in the handling of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+3
	build-cores and --cores. They're superfluous and just complicate the parsing.
2010-06-23	Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build ↵	Peter Simons	1	-0/+14
	expressions. This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which means that parallel building is disabled. If the number of build cores is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils. The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but the contents of that variable does not influence the hash that goes into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2010-04-19	* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+0

2010-04-12	* Finished the ATerm-less parser.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	finished yet.
2010-02-03	* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+0
	hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03	* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13
	This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-01-12	* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+11
	works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is set to "ignore".
2009-11-24	* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+3

2009-06-30	* Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages should be self-contained.
2009-02-27	* Allow options from the Nix config file to be overriden from the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	command line (e.g. "--option build-use-chroot true").
2008-12-11	* Revert r13150: now that we use private namespaces for the chroot, we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	don't have to put the chroot in /nix/var/nix/chroots anymore. They're back in /tmp now.
2008-11-12	* Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	build progress.
2008-10-29	* Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts. Will try the definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time.
2008-08-04	* `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+29
	just like nix-env. * `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-08-04	* querySubstitutablePathInfo: work properly when run via the daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* --dry-run: print the paths that we don't know how to build/substitute.
2008-07-18	* Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	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.
