For example, you can write
src = fetchgit ./.;
and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".
|
|
This causes quadratic performance.
|
|
When receiving a very large file, this can prevent the string from
having tobe copied, which temporarily doubles memory consumption.
|
|
This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like
"nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.
|
|
So now you can do
$ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
and lots of other operations.

When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.
The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.
Closes #119.

(namely, BtrFS fallocate sets file size to allocated size, i.e. multiple of block size)

would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
isn't a NAR archive.

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.

selectively in/excluded from the dump.

* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
implementation.
|
|
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
