From 112ee89501a936ad9c492780be6b63f53b2eb9ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2004 19:17:54 +0000 Subject: * Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser. * A better substitute mechanism. Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired store path, which is passed as an argument. This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes. (It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a performance problem). * Added a test for the substitute mechanism. * `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input, instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running into the kernel's limit on command line length. --- tests/Makefile.am | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tests/Makefile.am') diff --git a/tests/Makefile.am b/tests/Makefile.am index 4256625d9dc2..3f10b402b4b5 100644 --- a/tests/Makefile.am +++ b/tests/Makefile.am @@ -17,9 +17,10 @@ dependencies.sh: dependencies.nix locking.sh: locking.nix parallel.sh: parallel.nix build-hook.sh: build-hook.nix +substitutes.sh: substitutes.nix substituter.nix TESTS = init.sh simple.sh dependencies.sh locking.sh parallel.sh \ - build-hook.sh + build-hook.sh substitutes.sh XFAIL_TESTS = -- cgit 1.4.1
