2006-12-02	* Remove queryPathHash().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	* Help for nix-worker.
2006-12-01	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+4
	* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
2006-12-01	* More operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+24
	* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode).
2006-11-30	* More remote operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+32
	* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30	* More operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+18

2006-11-30	* First remote operation: isValidPath().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+14

2006-11-30	* When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+53
	mode. Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user. The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so the caller can be completely unprivileged. This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on. Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure store operations. Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket. That would be even more secure.
2006-11-30	* Oops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+82
