Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2010-06-14	* In importPath() and exportPath(), lock the temporary directory to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	prevent it from being deleted by the garbage collector.
2010-04-19	* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2010-02-24	* Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-01-29	* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+12
	/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29	* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+36
	zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2009-11-06	* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12

2009-09-24	* And some more.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2009-09-23	* Darwin hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2009-09-23	* Create some state directories automatically as a convenience.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+15

2009-06-13	* Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file, so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008 fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be patched because it's closed source. This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar warnings.
2009-04-21	* Use foreach in a lot of places.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2009-04-21	* nix-store --verify: don't bail out if a referenced path is missing.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+13
	(It can't fix it though.)
2009-04-16	* Fix a few "comparison is always false/true due to limited range of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	data type" warnings on 64-bit platforms. The one in parser.y is likely to be a real bug.
2009-03-28	* Don't use the non-standard __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf class.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-25/+16

2009-03-27	* Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2009-03-25	* Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+22
	default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-22	* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2009-02-02	* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2008-12-16	* nix-store --verify: repair bad hash fields in the metadata file.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+15

2008-12-03	* addToStore() in nix-worker: don't write the NAR dump received from	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+26
	the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient.
2008-12-03	* Pass HashType values instead of strings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2008-12-03	* Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-32/+28
	being copied 3 times in the worst case. It doesn't run in constant space, but it didn't do that anyway.
2008-12-03	* Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+7
	SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce the same store path: $ nix-store --add x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x the latter being the same as the path that a derivation derivation { name = "x"; outputHashAlgo = "sha256"; outputHashMode = "recursive"; outputHash = "..."; ... }; produces. This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations. Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.) * Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).
2008-11-19	* Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	and don't indicate path validity.
2008-08-05	* Better error checking of the data from the substituters.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+16

2008-08-04	* build.cc: only use a substituter if it returns info for a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-26/+32

2008-08-04	* nix-env --dry-run: show the total size of the substituter	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	downloads.
2008-08-02	* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+97
	again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout.
2008-07-18	* Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+9
	can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon).
2008-06-18	* Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3
	* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-09	* Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD	Eelco Dolstra	1	-566/+412
	https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-03-01	* A transaction is unnecessary since the path cannot be	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+3
	garbage-collected (it's a temporary root).
2008-01-29	* nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-93/+13
	* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2007-10-10	* Doh! Don't change the permissions on /nix/store.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2007-10-10	* nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+21
	savings would be.
2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+120
	usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-08-13	* Bump the Nix database schema version number; delete the substitutes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+30
	table.
2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-191/+42
	need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster (NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with each other. The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas" takes a bit longer. Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR" on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway). * Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
2007-06-12	* Support queryDeriver() in multi-user installations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+8

2007-05-01	* Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	environment cleanly even when an exception is thrown from a destructor. We still crash, but we don't take all other Nix processes with us.
2007-05-01	* Make --verify more interruptable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-03-30	* Work around a bug in Apple's GCC preprocessor.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-03-01	* Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2007-03-01	* Don't check the signature unless we have to.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+23

2007-02-27	* Doh! The deriver can be empty.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-02-21	* Check that the file containing the secret key is secret.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+14

2007-02-21	* importPath(): set the deriver.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+13
	* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+110
	--export' into the Nix store, and optionally check the cryptographic signatures against /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.pub. (TODO: verify against a set of public keys.)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+58
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18
	path. This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the meta-information of the store path (references, deriver). Will add a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a secure manner.
