2008-06-13	* Print some progress info during the early GC stages.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+9

2008-06-09	* Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD	Eelco Dolstra	11	-674/+766
	https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-05-21	* GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour and	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+4
	Armijn Hemel.
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.
2008-03-27	* Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories. This increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.
2008-03-01	* A transaction is unnecessary since the path cannot be	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+3
	garbage-collected (it's a temporary root).
2008-01-29	* nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-126/+71
	* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2008-01-15	Fixed exportBuildReferenceGraph	Michael Raskin	1	-12/+59

2007-12-30	Added a way to include derivation with its outputs and dependencies - ↵	Michael Raskin	1	-0/+38
	exportBuildReferenceGraph
2007-11-29	* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+34
	$ nix-env -e $(which firefox) or $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132 * nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store. This allows things like $ nix-build -A firefox $ nix-env -i ./result * nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `' selector doesn't match anything. In particular, `nix-env -q \' doesn't fail anymore on an empty profile.
2007-11-16	* Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-3/+15
	* queryDeriver in daemon mode: don't barf if the other side returns an empty string (which means there is no deriver).
2007-11-15	* Don't need gc.hh.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+2

2007-11-15	Added possibility to specify garbage collection levels for store paths; so ↵	Michael Raskin	2	-4/+21
	packages can share intermediate results of compilation and GC will collect it automatically while never touching tarballs, for example.
2007-10-29	* On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2007-10-27	* Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+21

2007-10-27	* Delete the chroot directory automatically.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+34
	* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27	* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+134
	executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories (/dev and /proc by default). This allows a bit more purity enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as /usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible. As an added benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in the chroot). However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of additional directories. (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as well...)
2007-10-10	* Doh! Don't change the permissions on /nix/store.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2007-10-10	* nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+21
	savings would be.
2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+138
	usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-09-18	* Pass various options to the worker so that flags like -K or -j work	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+29
	in multi-user Nix (NIX-72). * Client/worker: exchange a protocol version number for future compatibility.
2007-08-30	* Create the Nix daemon socket in a separate directory	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+6
	(/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket). This allows access to the Nix daemon to be restricted by setting the mode/ownership on that directory as desired, e.g. $ chmod 770 /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket $ chown root.wheel /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket to allow only users in the wheel group to use Nix. Setting the ownership on a socket is much trickier, since the socket must be deleted and recreated every time the daemon is started (which would require additional Nix configuration file directives to specify the mode/ownership, and wouldn't support arbitrary ACLs), some BSD variants appear to ignore permissions on sockets, and it's not clear whether the umask is respected on every platform when creating sockets.
2007-08-28	* When there are multiple substituters, make sure to release the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	lock on the output path after trying each. Otherwise the pathIsLockedByMe() test gets confused.
2007-08-28	* Fix a race condition with parallel builds where multiple	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+96
	fixed-output derivations or substitutions try to build the same store path at the same time. Locking generally catches this, but not between multiple goals in the same process. This happened especially often (actually, only) in the build farm with fetchurl downloads of the same file being executed on multiple machines and then copied back to the main machine where they would clobber each other (NIXBF-13). Solution: if a goal notices that the output path is already locked, then go to sleep until another goal finishes (hopefully the one locking the path) and try again.
2007-08-28	* PathLocks::lockPaths: don't allow reacquiring a lock we already	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5
	hold.
2007-08-13	* Bump the Nix database schema version number; delete the substitutes	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+33
	table.
2007-08-13	* Backwards compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	14	-306/+279
	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	8	-14/+31

2007-06-11	* Check against creation of GC roots in the store. Those roots don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	work, because findRoots() stops when it encounters a symlink to the store. And of course the store is supposed to be read-only.
2007-05-14	* Typo (reported by Marc Weber).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-05-07	* Create the database directory if it doesn't exist.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9

2007-05-01	* Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+9
	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.
2007-05-01	* Make --verify more interruptable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-03-30	* Work around a bug in Apple's GCC preprocessor.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-03-20	* Override the setuid helper using NIX_SETUID_HELPER.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-03-19	* Terminate build hooks and substitutes with a TERM signal, not a KILL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+13
	signal. This is necessary because those processes may have joined the BDB environment, so they have to be given a chance to clean up. (NIX-85)
2007-03-19	* Undocumented option `gc-check-reachability' to allow reachability	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9
	checking to be turned off on machines with way too many roots.
2007-03-07	* Delete the output paths before invoking the build hook.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+14

2007-03-01	* Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2007-03-01	* Don't check the signature unless we have to.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+23

2007-02-27	* Doh! The deriver can be empty.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-02-21	* `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7
	under the references relation. This is useful for commands that want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21	* Check that the file containing the secret key is secret.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+14

2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import' now also works in remote mode. The worker	Eelco Dolstra	3	-8/+27
	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	3	-5/+16

2007-02-21	* importPath(): set the deriver.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+13
	* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	5	-4/+124
	--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.)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --export --sign': sign the Nix archive using the RSA key	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+59
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	5	-0/+39
	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.
