2008-05-21	* GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour and	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	Armijn Hemel.
2008-03-27	* Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+14
	/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.
2007-12-14	* Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-11-29	* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1
	$ 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.
2007-10-27	* Delete the chroot directory automatically.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27	* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+23
	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...)
2007-09-17	* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute name. Also recurses into directories. * nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the ~/.nix-defexpr symlink. * nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink ~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't override any default Nix expressions but combines with them. This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use it as a default for nix-env: $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time. (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)
2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	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).
2007-05-01	* Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+17
	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.
2007-03-19	* Terminate build hooks and substitutes with a TERM signal, not a KILL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+12
	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)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	--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	1	-3/+12
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2006-12-07	* Move setuidCleanup() to libutil.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+16

2006-12-07	* Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07	* Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+47

2006-12-05	* The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	process, so forward the operation. * Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71). * findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-04	* Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+3
	via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-12-03	* Pid::kill() should be interruptable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-12-03	* Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	client.
2006-12-02	* Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-02	* Remove most of the old setuid code.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-130/+1
	* Much simpler setuid code for the worker in slave mode.
2006-12-02	* Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-31/+0

2006-11-29	* Don't spam.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-11-29	* Example script to set permissions for setuid operation.	Roy van den Broek	1	-1/+1

2006-11-29	* Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-26/+45
	Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries.
2006-11-24	* Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+23
	(NIX-70)
2006-10-30	* readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2006-09-27	* Fix setuid builds.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+9

2006-09-04	* Move setuid stuff to libutil.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+136
	* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+14
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-08-29	* Fix the ~ operator.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9

2006-08-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+9

2006-08-04	* Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2006-07-20	* Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+84
	running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-06	* Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0
	Nix config file.
2006-06-19	* Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-14	* Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+13
	is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-03-08	* Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-01-09	* dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-01-08	* Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporary	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+21
	build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp). Fixes NIX-26.
2005-12-15	* `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+13
	(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-09-22	* Parse multi-valued options.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+15

2005-05-04	* The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	compatibility fix.
2005-03-24	* Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reported	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10
	by Rob).
2005-02-09	* Automatically upgrade <= 0.7 Nix stores to the new schema (so that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	existing user environments continue to work). * `nix-store --verify': detect incomplete closures.
2005-02-01	* A GC setting `gc-keep-outputs' to specify whether output paths of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21
	derivations should be kept.
2005-02-01	* nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	get rid of GC roots. Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the current directory. Previously, removing that symlink would not remove the store path being linked to as a GC root. Now, the GC root created by nix-build is actually a symlink in `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto' to `result'. So if that symlink is removed the GC root automatically becomes invalid (since it can no longer be resolved). The root itself is not automatically removed - the garbage collector should delete dangling roots.
2005-01-31	* Topologically sort paths under the references relation to ensure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	that they are deleted in an order that maintains the closure invariant. * Presence of a path in a temporary roots file does not imply that all paths in its closure are also present, so add the closure.
2005-01-31	* Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+10
	roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots while holding a write lock on that file. The garbage collector acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary roots.
