2010-02-18 * Automatically abort transactions if they go out of scope withoutEelco Dolstra1-6/+37
committing.
2010-02-18 * Some wrapper objects to ensure that SQLite objects are properlyEelco Dolstra2-49/+109
destroyed.
2010-02-18 * Add the deriver to the ValidPaths table. In principle we could nowEelco Dolstra2-13/+21
store all the derivers of a path efficiently. But that opens a big can of worms with respect to garbage collector semantics.
2010-02-18 * Assign an integer id to every row in the ValidPaths table in orderEelco Dolstra2-14/+25
to make the Refs table more space-efficient. For instance, this reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18 MiB. (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1 KiB block size.)
2010-02-18 * Convert the Nix database to SQLite.Eelco Dolstra4-13/+146
2010-02-03 * Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor buildEelco Dolstra3-24/+21
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03 * While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+14
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-02-02 * Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisoryEelco Dolstra3-100/+5
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-01-29 * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra3-11/+22
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29 * Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but isEelco Dolstra1-4/+36
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25 * Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there areEelco Dolstra2-3/+11
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25 * Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'Eelco Dolstra4-18/+90
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2009-12-17 * Include config.h before the C library headers, because it definesEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16 * Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-09 * Give a better error message when trying to build something andEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24 * Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collectorEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2009-11-23 * `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actualEelco Dolstra2-10/+0
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 * Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes theEelco Dolstra2-166/+168
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
2009-11-20 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra4-151/+8
(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.
2009-11-06 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra5-692/+15
2009-10-22 * When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linkingEelco Dolstra1-2/+13
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise', because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22 * Remove a prototype for a function that no longer exists.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+0
2009-10-08 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg1-1/+1
manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-09-24 * And some more.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+2
2009-09-24 * Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2009-09-23 * Darwin hack.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+7
2009-09-23 * Create some state directories automatically as a convenience.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+17
2009-09-23  * include wait.h for WEXITSTATUSRob Vermaas1-0/+1
2009-06-13 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01Eelco Dolstra2-3/+3
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file, so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008 fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be patched because it's closed source. This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar warnings.
2009-04-21 * Use foreach in a lot of places.Eelco Dolstra10-96/+59
2009-04-21 * nix-store --verify: don't bail out if a referenced path is missing.Eelco Dolstra1-14/+13
(It can't fix it though.)
2009-04-16 * Fix a few "comparison is always false/true due to limited range ofEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
data type" warnings on 64-bit platforms. The one in parser.y is likely to be a real bug.
2009-04-15 * Don't cache transient build hook problems.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+11
2009-03-31 * Do a substitution even if --max-jobs == 0.Eelco Dolstra1-17/+22

2009-03-30 * Make the poll interval configurable.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2009-03-29 * With `--max-jobs 0', print a nicer error message than "AssertionEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
`!awake.empty()' failed."
2009-03-29 * Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hookEelco Dolstra1-31/+1
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first* machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28 * Scan for references and compute the SHA-256 hash of the output inEelco Dolstra3-89/+50
one pass. This halves the amount of I/O.
2009-03-28 * Don't use the non-standard __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf class.Eelco Dolstra2-33/+17
2009-03-28 * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use fileEelco Dolstra1-70/+16
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28 * The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a buildEelco Dolstra1-5/+6
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.
2009-03-27 * Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2009-03-26 * Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".Eelco Dolstra3-9/+4
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is too large for "long" type').
2009-03-25 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled byEelco Dolstra3-6/+79
default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-24 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-03-24 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2009-03-23 * No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. InsteadEelco Dolstra5-28/+85
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again). This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately, where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's waiting for a lock held by the first. The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require pthreads.
