2009-04-02* Debian packages: use /etc, not /usr/etc.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-31* Do a substitution even if --max-jobs == 0.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-31* Doh!Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-30(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-30* Make the poll interval configurable.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-29* Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slotEelco Dolstra
was last used.
2009-03-29* Undocument the "system" option. No sane person would use it :-)Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-29* With `--max-jobs 0', print a nicer error message than "AssertionEelco Dolstra
`!awake.empty()' failed."
2009-03-29* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hookEelco Dolstra
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first* machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28* nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,Eelco Dolstra
which is much faster.
2009-03-28* Scan for references and compute the SHA-256 hash of the output inEelco Dolstra
one pass. This halves the amount of I/O.
2009-03-28* Don't use the non-standard __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf class.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-28* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use fileEelco Dolstra
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28* Clean up the output a bit.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-28* The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a buildEelco Dolstra
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.
2009-03-27* Argh, stupid timing sensitive tests...Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-27* Debian 5.0, Ubuntu 8.10 builds.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-27* Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-26* A job for creating a fully statically linked binary tarball.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-26* Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binariesEelco Dolstra
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no RPMs/Debs available.
2009-03-26* Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".Eelco Dolstra
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is too large for "long" type').
2009-03-25* Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled byEelco Dolstra
default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-25* Removed the locking.sh test; it's redundant because of the extendedEelco Dolstra
parallel.sh test. Also, don't call multiple nix-builds in parallel, since they can race creating .nix-build-tmp-derivation.
2009-03-25* Use bash in the tests.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-24* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-24(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-23* Make this test a bit more robust. It's still timing dependentEelco Dolstra
though.
2009-03-23* Shut up a GCC warning.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-23* No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. InsteadEelco Dolstra
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again). This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately, where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's waiting for a lock held by the first. The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require pthreads.
2009-03-22* Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-22* Test case (currently fails): multiple Nix builds shouldn't blockEelco Dolstra
waiting on the same lock when there are other builds that can be done.
2009-03-22* Better error message when nix-store --import is applied to garbageEelco Dolstra
(previously it would likely say "implementation cannot deal with > 32-bit integers").
2009-03-22* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously itEelco Dolstra
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-19* Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10Eelco Dolstra
(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19* Disregard the Hash field in manifests.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-18* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and makeEelco Dolstra
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built, and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18* Improve the test.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-18* Better cleanup after tests.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-18* Missing file.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-18* Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the buildEelco Dolstra
hook. This fixes a problem with log files being partially or completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process truncates the log file. It should also be more efficient.
2009-03-18* Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate).Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-17* Regression test for exportBuildReferencesGraph. It currently fails.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-17* Refactoring: renamed *.nix.in to *.nix.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-17* Regression test for the `exportReferencesGraph'Eelco Dolstra
derivation attribute.

2009-03-09* Make the version available to release.nix.Eelco Dolstra
