2012-05-04	Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGS	Eelco Dolstra
	This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380). Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.
2012-05-04	Don't build for old Debian/Ubuntu releases that don't have a sufficiently ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	new SQLite
2012-05-04	Don't build for old Fedora releases that don't have a sufficiently new SQLite	Eelco Dolstra

2012-05-04	Require SQLite >= 3.6.19	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was introduced in 3.6.19. Without it, the database won't be cleaned up correctly when paths are deleted. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142.
2012-05-01	Use mkpath instead of make_path	Eelco Dolstra
	Perl <= 5.10 doesn't have make_path. See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2493981.
2012-05-01	Do "make installcheck" for RPM builds	Eelco Dolstra

2012-05-01	Do "make installcheck" for Debian builds	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-30	* Add an option ‘build-use-substitutes’, which can be set to ‘false’	Eelco Dolstra
	to disable use of substitutes; i.e., force building from source. Fixes Nix/221.
2012-04-30	Support mandatory system features in the build hook	Eelco Dolstra
	Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's requiredSystemFeatures attribute. One application is performance testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests (and nothing else). Then we would add the label "perf" to the machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing derivations.
2012-04-30	Update the documentation of build-remote.pl	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-30	Handle EPERM when creating a hard link for the chroot	Eelco Dolstra
	There is a race condition when doing parallel builds with chroots and the immutable bit enabled. One process may call makeImmutable() before the other has called link(), in which case link() will fail with EPERM. We could retry or wrap the operation in a lock, but since this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy fallback. Fixes #9.
2012-04-26	Don't use the build hook for unpacking channels	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-24	Fix a warning in the build hook about $progressViewer	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-23	Merge pull request #2 from viric/master	Eelco Dolstra
	Again, adding the sync option
2012-04-18	Fix URL set by nix-channel	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-17	nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-17	Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix's search path
2012-04-16	Hack to prevent accumulation of old manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-16	Fix obscure race condition in GC root creation	Eelco Dolstra
	This should fix rare Hydra errors of the form: error: symlinking `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/hydra/hydra-roots/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795' to `/nix/store/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795': File exists
2012-04-15	Set a few more close-on-exec flags	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-15	Close almost all file descriptors in the builder	Eelco Dolstra
	This regression was accidentally introduced in 35355fc1fcffbe859395e360c0a6a1463f137d63.
2012-04-14	If the (redirected) channel URL contains a version number, use it	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-14	Follow redirects early to ensure consistency between the manifest and the ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	tarball Without this change, if the URL is a redirect that changes in between, we can get a manifest that doesn't match the tarball.
2012-04-14	Urgh, modified the wrong file...	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-14	Remove unnecessary "system" argument	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-14	nix-channel improvements	Eelco Dolstra
	"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
2012-04-13	If "pv" is available at compile time, hard-code its path	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-13	nix-copy-closure: Move the progressViewer directly adjacent to the ssh call ↵	Shea Levy
	so that network progress is what's measured
2012-04-13	Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closure	Shea Levy

2012-04-13	Use Bison 2.5	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-10	Unconfuse Rob	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-10	Handle the case where $SHELL is not set	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-09	Merge pull request #5 from shlevy/doc-fix	Rob Vermaas
	Nix is on github now
2012-04-08	Nix is on github now	Shea Levy

2012-04-06	Fix building from the tarball	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Documentation fix	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Include environment variables in the manpages	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Include common options in the manpages using some XInclude hackery	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Update affiliation	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Add a missing DocBook source file to the tarball	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported on IRC by Adrian Siekierka.
2012-04-05	On Linux, pretend we're building on Linux 2.6	Eelco Dolstra
	Setting the UNAME26 personality causes "uname" to return "2.6.x", regardless of the kernel version. This improves determinism in a few misbehaved packages.
2012-04-04	nix-generate-patches: Optionally write new patches to $NIX_ALL_PATCHES	Hydra mirror

2012-04-04	Include --keep-going in --help	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-04	Follow redirects when checking for the existence of MANIFEST.bz2	Eelco Dolstra
	If we don't follow redirects, we might think that MANIFEST.bz2 exists just because the HEAD request succeeds on the redirector URI.
2012-03-27	Update "nix-build --help"	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-27	Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"	Eelco Dolstra
	Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all dependencies to be built. For instance, if we want to do "--run-env" on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built. So we can do: $ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball' This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball" regular expression. The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number of times.
2012-03-27	Allow the command executed by "nix-build --run-env" to be overriden with ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	--command
2012-03-26	Mac OS X fix	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-26	Delete non-directory valid paths right away	Eelco Dolstra
	It's unlikely that rename() is faster than unlink() on a regular file or symlink, so don't bother.
2012-03-26	Make the garbage collector more concurrent	Eelco Dolstra
	Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock. This should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked, since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in the GC. To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock. This ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly) valid or locked path.
