2006-12-07 * Move setuidCleanup() to libutil.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+16
2006-12-07 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account beforeEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
deleting them using the setuid helper.
2006-12-07 * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+47
2006-12-05 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privilegedEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 serverEelco Dolstra1-14/+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 Dolstra1-1/+3
2006-12-03 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to theEelco Dolstra1-1/+10
client.
2006-12-02 * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another functionEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 Dolstra1-130/+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 Dolstra1-31/+0
2006-11-29 * Don't spam.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-11-29 * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation.Roy van den Broek1-1/+1
2006-11-29 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.Eelco Dolstra1-26/+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 Dolstra1-0/+23
(NIX-70)
2006-10-30 * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+15
2006-09-27 * Fix setuid builds.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+9
2006-09-04 * Move setuid stuff to libutil.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+136
* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04 * Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra1-12/+14
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-08-29 * Fix the ~ operator.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+9
2006-08-26 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+9
2006-08-04 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-07-20 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to preventEelco Dolstra1-0/+84
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-06 * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in theEelco Dolstra1-3/+0
Nix config file.
2006-06-19 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-14 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user Eelco Dolstra1-1/+13
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-05-11 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 catchEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-01-09 * dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-01-08 * Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporaryEelco Dolstra1-2/+21
build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp). Fixes NIX-26.
2005-12-15 * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdoutEelco Dolstra1-3/+13
(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-09-22 * Parse multi-valued options.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+15
2005-05-04 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
compatibility fix.
2005-03-24 * Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reportedEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
by Rob).
2005-02-09 * Automatically upgrade <= 0.7 Nix stores to the new schema (so thatEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 ofEelco Dolstra1-0/+21
derivations should be kept.
2005-02-01 * nix-build: use an indirection scheme to make it easier for users toEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 ensureEelco Dolstra1-1/+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 temporaryEelco Dolstra1-3/+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.
2005-01-27 * Make lock removal safe by signalling to blocked processes that theEelco Dolstra1-0/+9
lock they are waiting on has become stale (we do this by writing a meaningless token to the unlinked file).
2005-01-20 * Another change to low-level derivations. The last one this year, IEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
promise :-) This allows derivations to specify on *what* output paths of input derivations they are dependent. This helps to prevent unnecessary downloads. For instance, a build might be dependent on the `devel' and `lib' outputs of some library component, but not the `docs' output.
2004-11-08 * Fix broken format string.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-09-10 * Operation `--delete-generations' to delete generations of aEelco Dolstra1-0/+8
profile. Arguments are either generation number, or `old' to delete all non-current generations. Typical use: $ nix-env --delete-generations old $ nix-collect-garbage * istringstream -> string2Int.
2004-08-18 * The default verbosity level of all Nix commands is now lvlInfo.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
* Builder output is written to standard error by default. * The option `-B' is gone. * The option `-Q' suppresses builder output. The result of this is that most Nix invocations shouldn't need any flags w.r.t. logging.
2004-08-04 * Creating a file nix-support/no-scan in the output path of aEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
derivation disables scanning for dependencies. Use at your own risk. This is a quick hack to speed up UML image generation (image are very big, say 1 GB). It would be better if the scanner were faster, and didn't read the whole file into memory.
2004-06-25 * A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, asEelco Dolstra1-9/+8
much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.) * Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection. * Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
2004-06-22 * Some more diagnostics changes.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2004-06-22 * Put WEXITSTATUS stuff somewhere else.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2004-06-22 * Wrapper class around pids.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+107
2004-06-22 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+13
2004-06-20 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+45
