2014-06-10	Print a warning when loading a large path into memory	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+30
	I.e. if you have a derivation with src = ./huge-directory; you'll get a warning that this is not a good idea.
2014-05-21	nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3
	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	2	-1/+3
	Otherwise you just get ‘expected string `Derive(['’ which isn't very helpful.
2014-04-03	Tweak error message	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra	3	-23/+32
	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);
2014-03-12	Remove unnecessary null pointer checks	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Fixes #225.
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+11
	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	And another one	Eelco Dolstra	2	-41/+2

2014-02-26	Remove another unused function	Eelco Dolstra	2	-22/+0

2014-02-01	Remove Automakefiles	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+0

2014-02-01	Update Makefile variable names	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2014-01-30	Rename Makefile -> local.mk	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2014-01-09	Update Makefiles	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2013-11-25	Rename Makefile.new -> Makefile	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2013-11-23	Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix libraries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with Glibc's libutil. Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).
2013-11-23	Allow (dynamic) libraries to depend on other libraries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-11-22	Support building dynamic libraries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2013-11-22	Drop the dependency on Automake	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2013-11-22	Rename $(here) to $(d) for brevity, and remove trailing slash	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+5

2013-11-22	New non-recursive, plain Make-based build system	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10

2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra	2	-17/+0
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-09-17	RestoreSink: Slightly reduce the number of concurrent FDs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2013-09-06	Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+5
	As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So we turn this off for Perl programs.
2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik	2	-3/+3

2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+6
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-07	Fix build on non-Linux	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5662914
2013-08-07	Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+65
	On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s
2013-07-30	killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple	Shea Levy	1	-0/+13
	The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't safely conclude that killUser was successful. Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

2013-07-12	Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarily	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+13
	Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-06-20	Don't keep "disabled" substituters running	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-06-07	Process stderr from substituters while doing have/info queries	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+8

2013-01-03	Remove tabs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-46/+46

2013-01-03	Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store	Eelco Dolstra	4	-64/+2
	Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+14
	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	2	-16/+23
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-15	Add some debug code	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+14
	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 some redundant close() calls	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+8
	They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+3

2012-10-23	If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+9
	Fixes #57.
2012-10-04	XML writer: flush after newlines	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	This is useful for hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+21

2012-09-19	Remove setting of the immutable bit	Eelco Dolstra	2	-26/+2
	Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with store optimisation. For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we don't know the remaining paths. So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit. Unfortunately, we have to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards compatibility.
2012-09-19	Templatise tokenizeString()	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+6

2012-09-11	Include config.h before any other header	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	"config.h" must be included first, because otherwise the compiler might not see the right value of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. We've had this before; see 705868a8a96a10f70e629433cfffc2d5cd2703eb. In this case, GCC would compute a different address for ‘settings.useSubstitutes’ in misc.cc because of the off_t in ‘settings’.

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	2	-18/+15

2012-08-20	In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems private	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3
	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' ...
