2012-03-05	nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout	Eelco Dolstra
	We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05	Set the close-on-exec flag on file descriptors	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-05	Don't leak a file descriptor in commonChildInit()	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-05	nix-worker: put the pid of the caller in argv[1]	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for debugging.
2012-03-05	Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-05	build-remote.pl: don't wait forever for the upload lock	Eelco Dolstra
	In the build hook, don't wait forever to get the upload lock. This ensures progress if another process gets stuck while holding the upload lock.
2012-03-01	Remove dependency on sqlite3_table_column_metadata	Eelco Dolstra
	Not all SQLite builds have the function sqlite3_table_column_metadata. We were only using it in a schema upgrade check for compatibility with databases that were probably never seen in the wild. So remove it.
2012-03-01	Fix an uninitialised variable	Eelco Dolstra
	The variable ‘useChroot’ was not initialised properly. This caused random failures if using the build hook. Seen on Mac OS X 10.7 with Clang. Thanks to KolibriFX for finding this :-)
2012-02-18	Fix chroots builds	Eelco Dolstra
	Chroots are initialised by hard-linking inputs from the Nix store to the chroot. This doesn't work if the input has its immutable bit set, because it's forbidden to create hard links to immutable files. So temporarily clear the immutable bit when creating and destroying the chroot. Note that making regular files in the Nix store immutable isn't very reliable, since the bit can easily become cleared: for instance, if we run the garbage collector after running ‘nix-store --optimise’. So maybe we should only make directories immutable.
2012-02-15	On Linux, make the Nix store really read-only by using the immutable bit	Eelco Dolstra
	I was bitten one time too many by Python modifying the Nix store by creating *.pyc files when run as root. On Linux, we can prevent this by setting the immutable bit on files and directories (as in ‘chattr +i’). This isn't supported by all filesystems, so it's not an error if setting the bit fails. The immutable bit is cleared by the garbage collector before deleting a path. The only tricky aspect is in optimiseStore(), since it's forbidden to create hard links to an immutable file. Thus optimiseStore() temporarily clears the immutable bit before creating the link.
2012-02-15	Fix a broken guard around utime()	Eelco Dolstra
	Because of an outdated check for a timestamp of 0, we were calling utime() even when it wasn't necessary.
2012-02-15	Don't use deletePath() to delete a single file	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-09	Fix error message	Eelco Dolstra
	This fixes the error message error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
2012-02-09	Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-08	Update .gitignore	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-08	Remove empty ChangeLog file	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-08	Set the versionSuffix to include the Git shortrev	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-07	* Build Nix for the latest Fedora and Ubuntu releases (and drop some	Eelco Dolstra
	old ones).
2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-02-04	* Print elapsed evaluation time.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-02-02	* nix-channel: fail if we don't have write permission to the manifests	Eelco Dolstra
	directory. Previously in this situation we did add the Nix expressions from the channel to allow installation from source, but this doesn't work for binary-only channels and leads to confusing error messages.
2012-01-26	* Fix importing a derivation. This gave a segfault.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-26	* Add a test for importing derivations.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-19	* Allow comparisons between derivations by comparing the outPath	Eelco Dolstra
	attributes.
2012-01-19	* Add some debug output to print the derivation name once it's known.	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a crash.
2012-01-19	* Add a test case for comparing derivations.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-18	* Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-18	* Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra
	Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a rather unhelpful error message: Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter expects.
2012-01-17	* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the	Eelco Dolstra
	environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-13	* nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporary	Eelco Dolstra
	directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
2012-01-12	* ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension on	Eelco Dolstra
	Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.
2012-01-11	tests: Run `download-using-manifests' via libtool so that dlopening works.	Ludovic Courtès

2012-01-11	perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'.	Ludovic Courtès

2012-01-11	* Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-07	* Don't create thunks for simple constants (integers, strings, paths)	Eelco Dolstra
	and allocate them only once. * Move Value and related functions into value.hh.
2012-01-05	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-05	* Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other	Eelco Dolstra
	scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-04	* Remove dead code.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-04	* Don't use dynamic_cast, it's very slow. "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	/etc/nixos/nixos -A system" spent about 10% of its time in dynamic_cast.
2012-01-04	* Merge the multiple-outputs-sandbox branch (svn merge --reintegrate	Eelco Dolstra
	^/nix/branches/multiple-outputs-sandbox). Multiple output support still isn't complete, but it wasn't complete in the trunk either, so it doesn't hurt.
2012-01-04	* Check whether the outputName attribute works.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-04	* Let --disable-gc work.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-04	* currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporal	Eelco Dolstra
	aspect.
2012-01-04	* Export the original input attributes of the derivation in	Eelco Dolstra
	‘drvAttrs’. This will simplify the implementation of functions such as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04	* Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out the	Eelco Dolstra
	common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc. Note that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs" attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of outputs. This seems more user-friendly.
2012-01-03	* Drop the inefficient "Path" suffix in output attribute names.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separate	Eelco Dolstra
	file.
2012-01-03	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* Ignore missing manifest symlinks.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* FreeBSD tar defaults to the tape device instead of stdout.	Eelco Dolstra
