2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2014-08-01	Eliminate redundant copy	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10

2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-07-10	Refactoring: Move all fork handling into a higher-order function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	C++11 lambdas ftw.
2014-07-10	Remove maybeVfork	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0

2014-05-21	nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you have: log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base name of the store path>. So you can do things like: $ nix-store -l $(which xterm) and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.
2014-04-08	If a .drv cannot be parsed, show its path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Otherwise you just get ‘expected string `Derive(['’ which isn't very helpful.
2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-02-26	Remove another unused function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0

2014-02-26	Remove unused function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0

2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-07-12	Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarily	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-01-03	Remove tabs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-15	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0

2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2012-09-19	Templatise tokenizeString()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5

2012-08-20	In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems private	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	This is required on systemd, which mounts filesystems as "shared" subtrees. Changes to shared trees in a private mount namespace are propagated to the outside world, which is bad.
2012-08-12	Add some basic profiling support to the evaluator	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some basic profiling in the evaluator. It will count calls to functions and primops as well as evaluations of attributes. For example, to see where evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends its time: $ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode ... calls to 39 primops: 239532 head 233962 tail 191252 hasAttr ... calls to 1595 functions: 224157 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:14' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:10' ... evaluations of 7088 attributes: 167377 undefined position 132459 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:119:41' 47322 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:13:21' ...
2012-08-01	Drop the block count in the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2012-08-01	Report substituter errors to clients of the Nix daemon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2012-07-26	Set permissions on temporary build directories to 0700	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Fixes #39.
2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+1

2012-03-05	Set the close-on-exec flag on file descriptors	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2011-12-22	* In the garbage collector, delete invalid paths before deleting	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	unreachable paths. This matters when using --max-freed etc.: unreachable paths could become reachable again, so it's nicer to keep them if there is "real" garbage to be deleted. Also, don't use readDirectory() but read the Nix store and delete invalid paths in parallel. This reduces GC latency on very large Nix stores.
2010-12-13	* createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	directory. * Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-08-27	* Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	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.
2010-05-12	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-29/+13

2010-04-19	* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+12

2010-04-12	* Remove some obsolete functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+0

2010-03-23	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-03-04	* Synced with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2010-02-24	* Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+0
	* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-24	* Remove the fdatasync check since it's no longer needed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+1

2010-02-02	* If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2010-01-29	* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+1
	/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2009-12-17	* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+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.)
2009-11-24	* Grrr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-11-24	* GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macro	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24	* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2009-03-28	* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2008-09-17	* Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+23
	order of ascending last access time. This is useful in conjunction with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage may become live again. The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the priority queue in collectGarbage().
2008-08-25	* Strip off the `.nix' suffix from the attribute name for files in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	~/.nix-defexpr, otherwise the attribute cannot be selected with the `-A' option. Useful if you want to stick a Nix expression directly in ~/.nix-defexpr.
2008-08-02	* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout.
