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	2	-2/+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	2	-0/+11
	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	2	-60/+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	2	-0/+12
	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	2	-11/+0

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra	2	-11/+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

2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+1

2012-03-13	Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory	Eelco Dolstra	2	-15/+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	2	-1/+5
	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	2	-31/+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	2	-6/+9
	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	2	-3/+5
	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.
2011-02-09	Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-1/+1

2011-02-05	* Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitions	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	when they are defined
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	2	-1/+33

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	2	-1/+21

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	2	-3/+1

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	2	-19/+15

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.
2009-03-05	* Install some headers in the right location.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

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	2	-0/+31
	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.
2008-06-18	* --max-freed: support values >= 4 GB.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3

2008-06-18	* Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least N	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4
	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).
