2004-05-12 * Use `-j0'.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+1
2004-05-12 * A switch `-j NUMBER' to set the maximum number of parallel jobs (0 =Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
no limit). * Add missing file to distribution.
2004-05-12 * Broken test.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2004-05-12 * An quick and dirty hack to support distributed builds.Eelco Dolstra4-2/+59
2004-05-11 * True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs inEelco Dolstra4-14/+13
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is initiated on one master machine, which then distributes sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the infrastructure to support this. TODO: substitutes are currently broken.
2004-05-04 * A test to verify that Nix executes build jobs in parallel, ifEelco Dolstra4-3/+80
possible. This test fails right now because this hasn't been implemented right now. Yes, I'm doing Test-Driven Development! ;-)
2004-05-04 * 1000th revision!Eelco Dolstra4-2/+50
* A test to verify that locking of output paths (caused by concurrent invocations of Nix) works correctly.
2004-05-04 * Another test.Eelco Dolstra6-2/+66
2004-05-04 * Grrr. TESTS are not included in EXTRA_DIST.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-05-04 * Allow the location of the store etc. to be specified usingEelco Dolstra5-0/+64
environment variables. * Started adding some automatic tests. * Do a `make check' when building RPMs.
