2006-06-20 | * Concurrent GC on Cygwin. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+10 | |
2006-06-15 | * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+4 | |
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7. | |||||
2005-01-27 | * Make lock removal safe by signalling to blocked processes that the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+2 | |
lock they are waiting on has become stale (we do this by writing a meaningless token to the unlinked file). | |||||
2004-05-11 | * True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+3 | |
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is initiated on one master machine, which then distributes sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the infrastructure to support this. TODO: substitutes are currently broken. | |||||
2003-11-21 | * Remove lock files after building. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2003-11-18 | * libnix -> libstore. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+24 | |
