2013-06-07	Process stderr from substituters while doing have/info queries	Eelco Dolstra

2013-06-07	Buffer reads from the substituter	Eelco Dolstra
	This greatly reduces the number of system calls.
2013-06-05	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Fix race condition	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes the error "DBD::SQLite::db do failed: column url is not unique".
2013-06-05	Update the default binary cache URL to cache.nixos.org	Eelco Dolstra

2013-06-04	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Treat a 403 error as a 404	Eelco Dolstra
	Amazon S3 returns HTTP status code 403 if a file doesn't exist and the user has no permission to list the contents of the bucket. So treat it as 404 (meaning it's cached in the NARExistence table).
2013-05-29	build-remote.pl: Remove meaningless signing when importing the output paths	Eelco Dolstra
	The "$UID != 0" makes no sense: if the local side has write access to the Nix store (which is always the case) then it doesn't matter if we're root - we can import unsigned paths either way.
2013-05-29	.bashrc -> .profile	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-23	nix-store --export: Export paths in topologically sorted order	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #118.
2013-05-23	build-remote.pl: Copy all outputs in one operation	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-23	build-remote.pl: Indicate if remote machine is refusing builds	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #120.
2013-05-16	Show function names in error messages	Eelco Dolstra
	Functions in Nix are anonymous, but if they're assigned to a variable/attribute, we can use the variable/attribute name in error messages, e.g. while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': ...
2013-05-16	Show which function argument was unexpected	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #116.
2013-05-16	Shut up a compiler warning	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-15	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Get rid of an uninitialized value warning	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Pablo Costa.
2013-05-13	Bump version	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-13	Bump release date	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Properly close the SSH connection between attempts	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Pass /dev/null as SSH's stdin	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise it will set the parent's stdin to non-blocking mode, causing the subsequent read of the set of inputs/outputs to fail randomly. That's insane.
2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Allow a machine to refuse a build	Eelco Dolstra
	Before selecting a machine, build-remote.pl will try to run the command "nix-builds-inhibited" on the machine. If this command exists and returns a 0 exit code, then the machine won't be used. It's up to the user to provide this command, but it would typically be a script that checks whether there is enough disk space and whether the load is not too high.
2013-05-10	In trace messages, don't print the output path	Eelco Dolstra
	This doesn't work if there is no output named "out". Hydra didn't use it anyway.
2013-05-09	Communicate build timeouts to Hydra	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-09	build-remote.pl: Create one process fewer on the remote side	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-09	build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally	Eelco Dolstra
	Don't pass --timeout / --max-silent-time to the remote builder. Instead, let the local Nix process terminate the build if it exceeds a timeout. The remote builder will be killed as a side-effect. This gives better error reporting (since the timeout message from the remote side wasn't properly propagated) and handles non-Nix problems like SSH hangs.
2013-05-08	Build Fedora 18 RPMs	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-07	Update release date	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-07	Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.
2013-05-07	Build Debian 7.0 debs	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-03	Build Ubuntu 13.04 debs	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-03	Fixing the pv position regarding compression	Lluís Batlle i Rossell
	Problem noticed by niksnut.
2013-05-03	Fixing the pv reference; I didn't mean to change it	Lluís Batlle i Rossell

2013-05-03	Adding ETA support to the --show-progress in nix-copy-closure	Lluís Batlle i Rossell
	Based on https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6 from shlevy

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Don't hardcode /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	addAdditionalRoots(): Check each path only once	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Search process environments for roots	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use by a "nix-build --run-env" session.
2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Use Nix::Utils::readFile	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-23	Fix --timeout	Eelco Dolstra
	I'm not sure if it has ever worked correctly. The line "lastWait = after;" seems to mean that the timer was reset every time a build produced log output. Note that the timeout is now per build, as documented ("the maximum number of seconds that a builder can run").
2013-04-23	Show that --timeout doesn't work if the build produces log output	Eelco Dolstra

2013-03-25	makeStoreWritable: Ask forgiveness, not permission	Shea Levy
	It is surprisingly impossible to check if a mountpoint is a bind mount on Linux, and in my previous commit I forgot to check if /nix/store was even a mountpoint at all. statvfs.f_flag is not populated with MS_BIND (and even if it were, my check was wrong in the previous commit). Luckily, the semantics of mount with MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND make both checks unnecessary: if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, then mount will fail with EINVAL, and if /nix/store is not a bind-mount, then it will not be made writable. Thus, if /nix/store is not a mountpoint, we fail immediately (since we don't know how to make it writable), and if /nix/store IS a mountpoint but not a bind-mount, we fail at first write (see below for why we can't check and fail immediately). Note that, due to what is IMO buggy behavior in Linux, calling mount with MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND on a non-bind readonly mount makes the mountpoint appear writable in two places: In the sixth (but not the 10th!) column of mountinfo, and in the f_flags member of struct statfs. All other syscalls behave as if the mount point were still readonly (at least for Linux 3.9-rc1, but I don't think this has changed recently or is expected to soon). My preferred semantics would be for MS_REMOUNT \| MS_BIND to fail on a non-bind mount, as it doesn't make sense to remount a non bind-mount as a bind mount.
