2017-04-06	Fix bogus "unexpected Nix daemon error: interrupted by the user"	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-06	Add a method to allow hydra-queue-runner to flush the path info cache	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-06	nix-daemon: Disable path info cache	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useless because the client also caches path info, and can cause problems for long-running clients like hydra-queue-runner (i.e. it may return cached info about paths that have been garbage-collected).
2017-04-04	Allow default sandbox paths to be overriden	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. you can now redirect /etc/resolv.conf to a different file.
2017-04-04	Make /var/run/nscd/socket optional	Eelco Dolstra
	Not every distribution uses nscd.
2017-04-03	Really fix the RPM build	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-31	Maybe fix the RPM build	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51095532
2017-03-31	Sandbox: Fix /dev/ptmx on recent kernels	Eelco Dolstra
	This fixes "No such file or directory" when opening /dev/ptmx (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51094249). The reason appears to be some changes to /dev/ptmx / /dev/pts handling between Linux 4.4 and 4.9. See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7832531/. The fix is to go back to mounting a proper /dev/pts instance inside the sandbox. Happily, this now works inside user namespaces, even for unprivileged users. So NIX_REMOTE=local?root=/tmp/nix nix-build \ '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test works for non-root users. The downside is that the fix breaks sandbox builds on older kernels (probably pre-4.6), since mounting a devpts fails inside user namespaces for some reason I've never been able to figure out. Builds on those systems will fail with error: while setting up the build environment: mounting /dev/pts: Invalid argument Ah well.

2017-03-30	Remove tabs	Shea Levy

2017-03-30	Add exec primop behind allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation.	Shea Levy
	Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be evaluated. There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to: * Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision * git rev-parse HEAD * Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like cabal or npm * Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops) * Private repository fetching Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these tasks done. The primop is only available when the 'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin against the running version of nix).
2017-03-28	Ignore broken "Deriver: unknown-deriver" fields in .narinfo	Eelco Dolstra
	These were generated by a legacy tool.
2017-03-24	use std::tuple for ValueMap allocator	Daiderd Jordan

2017-03-22	Fix minor grammatical nitpick ("it's" vs. "its") in `README.md`.	Matt Audesse

2017-03-22	Fix xz decompression	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1285.
2017-03-21	LocalFSStore::getBuildLog(): Handle corrupted logs	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-21	Don't hang in decompression if bzip2 data ends prematurely	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-21	Fix tests to reflect the signed-binary-caches default change	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-21	Only use cache.nixos.org when the store is /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra
	This is consistent with the behaviour of the old download-from-binary-cache substituter.
2017-03-21	Require signatures by default	Eelco Dolstra
	This corresponds to the NixOS default.
2017-03-21	Restore cache.nixos.org as the default substituter	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1283.

2017-03-21	Honor $NIX_SSHOPTS again	Eelco Dolstra
	NixOps needs this.
2017-03-20	Merge branch 'darwin-s3-binary-cache-store' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-20	Merge pull request #1275 from steveeJ/patch-1	Eelco Dolstra
	nix-shell/pure: keep environment variable SHLVL
2017-03-16	nix copy: Make -r option use the "from" store	Eelco Dolstra
	Previously, we tried to compute the closure in the local store, which obviously doesn't work.
2017-03-16	ssh:// -> ssh-ng://, legacy-ssh:// -> ssh://	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	copyPaths(): Use queryValidPaths() to reduce SSH latency	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	copyPaths(): Don't query path info for a path the target already has	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, this cuts "nix-copy-closure --from" on a NixOS system closure from 15.9s to 0.5s.
2017-03-16	LegacySSHStore: Provide a faster implementation of computeFSClosure()	Eelco Dolstra
	This avoids the latency of the standard implementation, which can make a huge difference (e.g. 16.5s -> 0.5s on a NixOS system closure).
2017-03-16	Fix nix-copy-closure --to	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	Remove "killing process <pid>" messages	Eelco Dolstra
	They convey no useful information.
2017-03-16	nix-copy-closure: Fix assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	$ ./inst/bin/nix-copy-closure --to bla $(type -p firefox) nix-copy-closure: src/libstore/store-api.cc:80: std::__cxx11::string nix::storePathToHash(const Path&): Assertion `base.size() >= storePathHashLen' failed.
2017-03-15	More precise compression settings	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	runProgram(): Distinguish between empty input and no input	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, if we call brotli with an empty input, it shouldn't read from the caller's stdin.
2017-03-15	Compress NAR listings using the "text-compression" method	Eelco Dolstra
	So if "text-compression=br", the .ls file in S3 will get a Content-Encoding of "br". Brotli appears to compress better than xz for this kind of file and is natively supported by browsers.
2017-03-15	S3BinaryCacheStore: Set Content-Type	Eelco Dolstra
	This is necessary for serving log files to browsers.
2017-03-15	S3BinaryCacheStore: Support compression of narinfo and log files	Eelco Dolstra
	You can now set the store parameter "text-compression=br" to compress textual files in the binary cache (i.e. narinfo and logs) using Brotli. This sets the Content-Encoding header; the extension of compressed files is unchanged. You can separately specify the compression of log files using "log-compression=br". This is useful when you don't want to compress narinfo files for backward compatibility.
2017-03-15	Fix assertion failure on SIGINT	Eelco Dolstra
	nix: src/libutil/compression.cc:142: virtual nix::XzSink::~XzSink(): Assertion `finished' failed.
2017-03-15	Fix deadlock in runProgram() when input is larger than the pipe buffer size	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	Add support for brotli compression	Eelco Dolstra
	Build logs on cache.nixos.org are compressed using Brotli (since this allows them to be decompressed automatically by Chrome and Firefox), so it's handy if "nix log" can decompress them.
2017-03-15	Remove dependency on "curl" binary	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	BinaryCacheStore: Implement getBuildLog()	Eelco Dolstra
	We assume that build logs are stored under log/<drv>, e.g. /nix/store/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv maps to https://cache.nixos.org/log/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv
