2010-11-16	* Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump PATH'). This is useful for Hydra.
2009-03-30	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2009-03-28	* Scan for references and compute the SHA-256 hash of the output in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-76/+39
	one pass. This halves the amount of I/O.
2008-05-21	* GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour and	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Armijn Hemel.
2006-09-22	* Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not reading	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+26
	regular files into memory all at once.
2006-09-22	* Don't allocate the buffer twice.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9

2006-09-22	* Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+11
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-03-01	* Wrong delete. Thanks valgrind.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-11-16	* Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now	Eelco Dolstra	1	-25/+43
	much faster.
2005-02-11	* Input sources should be in the set of all referenceable paths too.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-01-14	* Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6
	bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits and letters except e, o, u, and t). This produces store paths like /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1. The nice thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32 characters, as before with MD5. (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
2004-01-15	* Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged. Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()). Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+2
	path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
2003-11-19	* nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+4
	* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
2003-11-18	* libnix -> libstore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+106
