2005-11-17* FreeBSD compatibility fix.Eelco Dolstra
2005-11-17* "Fix" the test, since we cannot feasibly support the intended semantics.Eelco Dolstra
2005-11-16* Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is nowEelco Dolstra
much faster.
2005-11-04* Install signal handlers for SIGTERM and SIGHUP. This ensures thatEelco Dolstra
Nix is properly shut down when it receives those signals. In particular this ensures that killing the garbage collector doesn't cause a subsequent database recovery.
2005-11-04* Memoise checkVarDefs since internally produced terms (i.e., not theEelco Dolstra
result of parsing) can have very heavy sharing, causing exponential complexity if we naively recurse into them. ATerms are graphs, not trees!
2005-11-04* Scoping bug in `with'.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-29* Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21).Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-29* Repair the referers table from the references table.Rob Vermaas
2005-10-20* Prevent uids from being used for more than one buildEelco Dolstra
simultaneously. We do this using exclusive locks on uid files in /nix/var/nix/userpool, e.g., /nix/var/nix/userpool/123 for uid 123.
2005-10-19* Oops. Fixed-output derivations were broken.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-18* Oops, that should be Berkeley DB 4.3. Reported by Gerco Ballintijn.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-17* Also kill all processes of the build user after the build. This isEelco Dolstra
critical to prevent certain kinds of 0wnage.
2005-10-17* Before starting a build under some uid, kill all current processesEelco Dolstra
running under that uid.
2005-10-17* Check that the build result is owned by the build user, and thatEelco Dolstra
nobody else has write permission to the build result. This catches most hack attempts.
2005-10-17* Don't use FIFOs to make Nix create the output path on behalf of theEelco Dolstra
builder. Instead, require that the Nix store has sticky permission (S_ISVTX); everyone can created files in the Nix store, but they cannot delete, rename or modify files created by others.
2005-10-17* Beginning of secure multi-user Nix stores. If Nix is started asEelco Dolstra
root (or setuid root), then builds will be performed under one of the users listed in the `build-users' configuration variables. This is to make it impossible to influence build results externally, allowing locally built derivations to be shared safely between users (see ASE-2005 paper). To do: only one builder should be active per build user.
2005-10-11add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is neededArmijn Hemel
for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2005-10-11* Use ATerm 2.4.2.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-06* Swap the system and version comparion columns.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-06* Document `nix-env --compare-versions'.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-06* Only colorise if we are attached to a terminal.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-06* New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installedEelco Dolstra
versions to available versions, or vice versa. For example, the following compares installed versions to available versions: $ nix-env -qc autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6 f-spot-0.0.10 - ? firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7 ... I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and F-Spot is missing altogether. Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed versions: $ nix-env -qac autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4 bash-3.0 - ? firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4 ... Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed. If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `< 1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'. If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in red (using ANSI escape codes).
2005-10-05* Update NEWS in the root directory properly.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-05* log2xml -> nix-log2xml.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-05* Install the XSL stylesheets for log to html conversion.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-28* Use "source" instead of ".".Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-22* Lets not go wild with templates.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-22* Parse multi-valued options.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-22* Merge release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-21* Remove other uses of IPC::Open2.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-21* Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. IfEelco Dolstra
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead. This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).
2005-09-21* This doesn't parse for now.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-21* Configuration options for trusted local builds.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-21* Use -all_load on Mac OS X.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-20* Typo.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-18* Use a statically linked ATerm library and build it at -O1, sinceEelco Dolstra
higher optimisation levels cause statically linked libraries to barf.
2005-09-16* Bump the version number to 0.10.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-16* Updated release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-16* svn:ignores.Eelco Dolstra
* Add missing file to dist.
2005-09-16* svn:ignore.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-16* Remove dead file.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-16* Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help inEelco Dolstra
setuid installations.
2005-09-16* Include the release notes in the manual.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-15* Force release notes in ASCII, not UTF-8.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-15* Check for w3m.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-15* Use a proper temporary directory.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-15* This is not a GNU project :-PEelco Dolstra
2005-09-14* Remove dead code.Eelco Dolstra
2005-09-14* Release notes in Docbook; ASCII release notes (i.e., the `NEWS'Eelco Dolstra
file) is now generated from that using `w3m' and some XSL hackery.
2005-09-14* List concatenation must be right-associative for efficiency.Eelco Dolstra
