2007-08-12 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if weEelco Dolstra1-64/+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 Dolstra1-2/+2
2007-02-21 * Flush cout to show progress.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2007-02-21 * Export/import many paths in one go.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+8
2007-02-21 * `nix-store -qR' and friends: print the paths sorted topologicallyEelco Dolstra1-38/+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 outEelco Dolstra1-3/+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-storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 keyEelco Dolstra1-3/+7
in /nix/etc/nix/signing-key.sec
2007-02-20 * Start of `nix-store --export' operation for serialising a storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-1/+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 Dolstra1-0/+731
