2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18
	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	-3/+3
	table.
2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-17/+8
	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	-4/+2

2007-05-14	* Typo (reported by Marc Weber).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	--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.)
2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	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.
2007-01-14	* Make the garbage collector more resilient to certain consistency	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	errors: in-use paths now cause a warning, not a fatal error.
2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-09	* Use deletePathWrapped() in more places.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2006-12-07	* In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	ownership, then try again.
2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-12-05	* The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	process, so forward the operation. * Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71). * findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-04	* Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	processes can register indirect roots. Of course, there is still the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of the indirect roots when it's running as root...
2006-12-02	* Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-01	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+8
	* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+136
	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.
