2008-11-19	* nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2008-09-17	* GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t, e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to convert to time_t from the command line. Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two months: $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago")
2008-09-17	* nix-store --gc / --delete: show how many store paths were deleted.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2008-09-17	* Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-17/+10
	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().
2008-08-04	* `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+16
	just like nix-env. * `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-06-18	* Garbage collector: option `--max-freed' to stop after at least N	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	bytes have been freed, `--max-links' to stop when the Nix store directory has fewer than N hard links (the latter being important for very large Nix stores on filesystems with a 32000 subdirectories limit).
2008-06-18	* Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+29
	* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-09	* Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+12
	https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-01-29	* nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+46
	* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
2007-11-29	* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say	Eelco Dolstra	1	-24/+12
	$ 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.
2007-11-16	* nix-store --import: add a flag --require-signature.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2007-10-10	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-10-10	* nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	savings would be.
2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+49
	usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-64/+2
	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).
2007-06-12	* Support queryDeriver() in multi-user installations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-02-21	* Flush cout to show progress.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-02-21	* Export/import many paths in one go.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2007-02-21	* `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologically	Eelco Dolstra	1	-38/+5
	under the references relation. This is useful for commands that want to copy paths to another Nix store in the right order.
2007-02-21	* Flag `--print-invalid' in `nix-store --check-validity' to print out	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+14
	which paths specified on the command line are invalid (i.e., don't barf when encountering an invalid path, just print it). This is useful for build-remote.pl to figure out which paths need to be copied to a remote machine. (Currently we use rsync, but that's rather inefficient.)
2007-02-21	* `nix-store --import': import an archive created by `nix-store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12
	--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/+7
	in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-20	* Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	path. This is like `nix-store --dump', only it also dumps the meta-information of the store path (references, deriver). Will add a `--sign' flag later to add a cryptographic signature, which we will use for exchanging store paths between build farm machines in a secure manner.
2007-01-13	* nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and print them on stdout. This allows them to be installed, e.g., "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)". (NIX-64)
2006-12-07	* Rename all those main.cc files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+731
