Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2012-03-26	Remove the --max-links GC option	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	We don't need this anymore now that current filesystems support more than 32,000 files in a directory.
2012-02-09	Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2011-12-20	* Fix the build.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-12-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+28

2011-12-16	* importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+21
	stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.
2011-12-16	* Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficient	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger chunks. * Some refactoring.
2011-12-15	* Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my /var/run/current-system).
2011-12-14	* Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker protocol.
2011-12-01	* When doing "nix-store --add-fixed" without "--recursive" via the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	daemon (which is an error), print a nicer error message than "Connection reset by peer" or "broken pipe". * In the daemon, log errors that occur during request parameter processing.
2011-11-06	Include all outputs of derivations in the closure of explicitly-passed ↵	Shea Levy	1	-0/+10
	derivation paths This required adding a queryOutputDerivationNames function in the store API
2011-04-19	* Handle error messages from the Nix worker containing the `%'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	character. (Nix/216)
2010-12-17	* Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	daemon.
2010-11-17	* Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	will approximately require.
2010-11-17	* Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+13

2010-11-16	* Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump PATH'). This is useful for Hydra.
2010-08-30	* When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+1
	hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder. Only the latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs. * Allow the verbosity to be set through an option. * Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-24	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2010-08-12	* Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2010-08-04	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2010-06-24	Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.	Peter Simons	1	-0/+2
	An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution, because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global namespace.
2010-05-04	* Allow unprivileged users to do `nix-store --clear-failed-paths' and	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+19
	`nix-store --query-failed-paths'.
2010-02-26	* Implement RemoteStore::queryValidPaths().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2010-02-25	* Implement RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2010-02-22	* Get derivation outputs from the database instead of the .drv file,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	which requires more I/O.
2009-11-20	* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3
	(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-04-21	* Use foreach in a lot of places.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2008-12-16	* Pass --use-atime / --max-atime to the daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2008-12-11	* Open the connection to the daemon lazily (on demand) so that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+33
	read-only operations (like nix-env -qa) work properly when the daemon isn't running.
2008-12-03	* Pass HashType values instead of strings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2008-12-03	* Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+5
	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).
2008-11-12	* Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	build progress.
2008-11-11	* Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2008-08-14	* Backward compatibility check to prevent nixos-rebuild from barfing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	when upgrading Nix.
2008-08-04	* querySubstitutablePathInfo: work properly when run via the daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	* --dry-run: print the paths that we don't know how to build/substitute.
2008-08-02	* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+7
	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.
2008-06-18	* Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+9
	* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-04-09	* sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+15
	This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail when performed in a directory with a very long path name. So chdir to the socket directory and use a relative path name.
2008-01-29	* nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2007-11-16	* Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6
	* queryDeriver in daemon mode: don't barf if the other side returns an empty string (which means there is no deriver).
2007-09-18	* Pass various options to the worker so that flags like -K or -j work	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+21
	in multi-user Nix (NIX-72). * Client/worker: exchange a protocol version number for future compatibility.
2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6
	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	-6/+12

2007-05-01	* Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	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.
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+24
	always requires a signature on the archive. This is to ensure that unprivileged users cannot add Trojan horses to the Nix store.
2007-02-21	* Support exportPath() in remote mode.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+12

2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	--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/+7
	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.
2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+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.
2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21
	`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	-4/+36
	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.
