2010-08-30	* When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the	Eelco Dolstra	4	-21/+32
	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.
2010-08-30	* Disable the GC reachability check for now (when creating new roots),	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	as it's hopelessly inefficient.
2010-08-27	* Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g. requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ]; We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support. Probably this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-25	* Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting	Eelco Dolstra	1	-203/+187
	the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering those queries until it accepts a build. So if there are N derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.
2010-08-24	* Don't complain if the stored hash of a path is zero (unknown).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2010-08-24	* Handle the unlikely case where a derivation has no dependencies at	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	all.
2010-08-24	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4

2010-08-12	* Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4

2010-08-04	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-0/+13

2010-08-04	* Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+12
	faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every commit. Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos -A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script: 42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync 3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync 32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync 16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint every 1000 pages 8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint every 8192 pages 1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs. Because WAL doesn't work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory), truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal" option to false.
2010-08-04	* Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+39
	using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute "preferLocalBuild" to true. This has a few use cases: - The user environment builder. Since it just creates a bunch of symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it remotely. In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which is extremely wasteful. - `fetchurl'. Performing the download on a remote machine and then copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any CPU cycles on the local machine.
2010-06-24	Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.	Peter Simons	2	-0/+4
	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.
2010-06-23	Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build ↵	Peter Simons	3	-0/+9
	expressions. This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which means that parallel building is disabled. If the number of build cores is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils. The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but the contents of that variable does not influence the hash that goes into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-06-21	* Okay, putting a lock on the temporary directory used by importPath()	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+20
	doesn't work because the garbage collector doesn't actually look at locks. So r22253 was stupid. Use addTempRoot() instead. Also, locking the temporary directory in exportPath() was silly because it isn't even in the store.
2010-06-21	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-4/+20

2010-06-14	* In importPath() and exportPath(), lock the temporary directory to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	prevent it from being deleted by the garbage collector.
2010-06-08	* Replacing ValidPath rows doesn't work because it causes a constraint	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	violation of the Refs table. So don't do that.
2010-06-04	* Applied a patch from David Brown to prevent `nix-store --optimise'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15
	from failing on rename() on BtrFS.
2010-06-01	* Turn build errors during evaluation into EvalErrors.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+1

2010-06-01	* Hack to allow derivations to disable chroot builds by setting the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	attribute "__noChroot = true" (requested by Rob).
2010-05-12	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-146/+123

2010-05-04	* Allow unprivileged users to do `nix-store --clear-failed-paths' and	Eelco Dolstra	5	-3/+32
	`nix-store --query-failed-paths'.
2010-04-26	* Added a command `nix-store --clear-failed-paths <PATHS>' to clear	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+22
	the "failed" status of the given store paths. The special value `*' clears all failed paths.
2010-04-26	* Add an command `nix-store --query-failed-paths' to list the cached	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+25
	failed paths (when using the `build-cache-failure' option).
2010-04-21	* Don't use an ostringstream in unparseDerivation(), because it's	Eelco Dolstra	1	-38/+39
	slow. A `nix-env -qa --drv-path \*' on Nixpkgs was spending 40% of its time in unparseDerivation() because of this (now 11%).
2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-04-19	* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-142/+117

2010-03-11	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7

2010-03-11	Show the build user's group in /etc/group in chroots.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+6
	* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Create /etc/group showing the build user's group.
2010-03-11	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6

2010-03-11	Fix thinko in r20547.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-4/+4
	* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Fix the GID of the build user in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-11	Clear supplementary groups of `nixbld' in /etc/passwd in chroots.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-4/+5
	* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Don't display any supplementary groups for `nixbld' in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-10	* Remove a debug statement.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2010-03-09	* In `nix-store --export', abort if the contents of a path has	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+17
	changed. This prevents corrupt paths from spreading to other machines. Note that checking the hash is cheap because we're hashing anyway (because of the --sign feature).
2010-03-08	* Set `gc-keep-outputs' or `gc-keep-derivations' to false with	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	`--delete --ignore-liveness'.
2010-03-08	* Increase the sqlite timeout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-03-04	* Remove some unused functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+0

2010-03-02	* checkInterrupt() shouldn't be called from a destructor.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-03-02	* When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build with	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3
	--enable-shared. * In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm. * Some more header file hygiene.
2010-02-26	* Implement RemoteStore::queryValidPaths().	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4

2010-02-25	* Implement RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs().	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+6

2010-02-24	* Support read-only access to the database.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2010-02-24	* Refactor the upgrade / database initialisation logic a bit.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-59/+62

2010-02-24	* Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-24	* A function to query just the database id of a valid path.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-16/+22

2010-02-24	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-24	* Use `truncate' journal mode, which should be a bit faster.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2010-02-24	* Disable fsync() in SQLite if the fsync-metadata option is set to	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+7
	false. * Change the default for `fsync-metadata' to true. * Disable `fsync-metadata' in `make check'.
2010-02-24	* Do registerValidPaths() in one transaction, which is much faster.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-29/+9
	E.g. it cuts the runtime of the referrers test from 50s to 23s.
2010-02-24	* ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1
