2016-04-15 BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a stringEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and might eliminate some large string copying.
2016-02-29 Add an HTTP binary cache storeEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Allowing stuff like NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store -qR /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 or NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --export /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 | nix-store --import
2016-02-04 Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2015-10-21 Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurlEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work in chroots. We don't need verification because the hash of the result is checked anyway.
2015-10-07 Show progress during downloadsEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra1-3/+7
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url -A: Use "name" attribute from Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-1/+8
This is in particular useful for fetchFromGitHub et al., ensuring that the store path produced by nix-prefetch-url corresponds to what those functions expect.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra1-15/+47
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-4/+36
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: $PRINT_PATH -> --print-pathEelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Rewrite in C++Eelco Dolstra1-0/+132
