2010-08-30 * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of theEelco Dolstra1-8/+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 Dolstra1-0/+3
2010-08-12 * Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2010-08-04 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2010-06-24 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.Peter Simons1-0/+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' andEelco Dolstra1-0/+19
`nix-store --query-failed-paths'.
2010-02-26 * Implement RemoteStore::queryValidPaths().Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2010-02-25 * Implement RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs().Eelco Dolstra1-1/+5
2010-02-22 * Get derivation outputs from the database instead of the .drv file,Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
which requires more I/O.
2009-11-20 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 Dolstra1-2/+1
2008-12-16 * Pass --use-atime / --max-atime to the daemon.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+4
2008-12-11 * Open the connection to the daemon lazily (on demand) so thatEelco Dolstra1-4/+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 Dolstra1-3/+3
2008-12-03 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursiveEelco Dolstra1-4/+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 monitorEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
build progress.
2008-11-11 * Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2008-08-14 * Backward compatibility check to prevent nixos-rebuild from barfingEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
when upgrading Nix.
2008-08-04 * querySubstitutablePathInfo: work properly when run via the daemon.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+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 correctlyEelco Dolstra1-6/+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 Dolstra1-13/+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 Dolstra1-3/+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 Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-2/+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 workEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 weEelco Dolstra1-6/+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 Dolstra1-6/+12
2007-05-01 * Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDBEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 workerEelco Dolstra1-6/+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 Dolstra1-4/+12
2007-02-21 * `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 filesEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 doEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 privilegedEelco Dolstra1-4/+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.
2006-12-04 * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivilegedEelco Dolstra1-0/+9
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...
2006-12-04 * Don't redirect stderr.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+0
2006-12-04 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that). * Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler. Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
2006-12-04 * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the serverEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-04 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socketEelco Dolstra1-7/+29
instead of forking a worker.
2006-12-04 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-13/+29
2006-12-04 * Pass the verbosity level to the worker.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+8
2006-12-04 * Install the worker in bindir, not libexecdir.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
* Allow the worker path to be overriden through the NIX_WORKER environment variable.
2006-12-03 * Don't run setuid root when build-users is empty.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
* Send startup errors to the client.
2006-12-03 * Use a Unix domain socket instead of pipes.Eelco Dolstra1-13/+17
2006-12-03 * Better error message if the worker doesn't start.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2006-12-03 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to theEelco Dolstra1-5/+34
client.
2006-12-02 * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another functionEelco Dolstra1-0/+15
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-02 * Remove queryPathHash().Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
* Help for nix-worker.
2006-12-01 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.Eelco Dolstra1-28/+4
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
