2015-09-18 Shut up clang warningsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2015-05-21 nix-collect-garbage: Call collectGarbage() internallyEelco Dolstra1-0/+17
2014-08-20 Use proper quotes everywhereEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2014-08-20 nix-store -l: Automatically pipe output into $PAGEREelco Dolstra1-0/+12
2014-08-13 Refactor option handlingEelco Dolstra1-17/+18
2014-02-17 nix-store --gc --max-freed: Support a unit specifierEelco Dolstra1-3/+18
E.g. "--max-freed 10G" means "free ten gigabytes".
2012-11-20 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flagEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
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" modeEelco Dolstra1-3/+0
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 pageEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
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).
2012-08-24 Include the output name in the GC root linkEelco Dolstra1-1/+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.
2012-07-18 Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusionEelco Dolstra1-5/+1
2012-03-13 Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directoryEelco Dolstra1-5/+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 Dolstra1-0/+2
This is useful for debugging.
2011-09-06 * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whetherEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
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 Dolstra1-1/+3
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.
2011-02-05 * Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitionsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
when they are defined
2009-11-24 * Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+12
2008-08-04 * `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
just like nix-env. * `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-06-18 * --max-freed: support values >= 4 GB.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2008-06-18 * Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least NEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories limit).
2008-06-14 * nix-worker: clean up the temporary root for the worker processes Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
in /nix/var/nix/temproots.
2007-01-14 * Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-04 * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the serverEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-03 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-03 * Removed `build-allow-root'.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
* Added `build-users-group', the group under which builds are to be performed. * Check that /nix/store has 1775 permission and is owner by the build-users-group.
2006-09-04 * Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+8
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2005-02-01 * nix-store, nix-instantiate: added an option `--add-root' toEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
immediately add the result as a permanent GC root. This is the only way to prevent a race with the garbage collector. For instance, the old style ln -s $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate foo.nix)) \ /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result has two time windows in which the garbage collector can interfere (by GC'ing the derivation and the output, respectively). On the other hand, nix-store --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result -r \ $(nix-instantiate --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/drv \ foo.nix) is safe. * nix-build: use `--add-root' to prevent GC races.
2003-12-01 * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:Eelco Dolstra1-0/+9
$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-10-20 * Refactored the source tree.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+15
