2006-12-09	* Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+38
	matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid helper (which already used lchown()). * Also check for an obscure security problem on platforms that don't have lchown. Then we can't change the ownership of symlinks, which doesn't matter except when the containing directory is writable by the owner (which is the case with the top-level Nix store directory).
2006-12-09	* Use deletePathWrapped() in more places.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+3

2006-12-07	* In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+12
	ownership, then try again.
2006-12-07	* When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	ownership of the build result after the build.
2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-12-03	* Removed `build-allow-root'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+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.
2006-12-02	* Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1

2006-12-01	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+7
	* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
2006-12-01	* More operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-26/+5
	* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode).
2006-11-30	* More remote operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30	* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
2006-11-30	* Skeleton of remote store implementation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1037
	containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
