2011-12-16* Clean up exception handling.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-15* Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.Eelco Dolstra
* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my /var/run/current-system).
2011-12-15* Typo.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-15* Buffer reads in FdSource. Together with write buffering, thisEelco Dolstra
significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from 44266 to 20666).
2011-12-14* Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number ofEelco Dolstra
system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker protocol.
2011-12-14* Remove the terminate handler, which was only really needed becauseEelco Dolstra
of Berkeley DB (see r8632).
2011-12-14* Oops, the daemon test wasn't actually using the daemon.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-05* Remove unnecessary quotes. showPaths() already adds quotes.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-02* In ‘nix-store --verify --check-contents’, repair missing hashesEelco Dolstra
rather than complain about them.
2011-12-02* nix-prefetch-url: rewritten in Perl.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-02* Add some more functions to the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-02* Move parseHash16or32 into libutil, and use in nix-hash.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-01* Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-buildEelco Dolstra
and nix-env, e.g., $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -i patchelf or $ nix-build '<nixos/tests>' -A login.test
2011-12-01* Slight improvement.Eelco Dolstra
2011-12-01* When doing "nix-store --add-fixed" without "--recursive" via the NixEelco Dolstra
daemon (which is an error), print a nicer error message than "Connection reset by peer" or "broken pipe". * In the daemon, log errors that occur during request parameter processing.

2011-11-29* Don't require a specific Perl version.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-29* Fix make check.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-29* download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-29* Get rid of some superfluous error messages if a substituter fails.Eelco Dolstra
* Say "fetch" instead of "substitute".
2011-11-29* For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes inEelco Dolstra
base-32. (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-29* Get rid of the shell in ssh calls.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-25* Fix race.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-23(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-23* Document the --include-outputs option.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-23* Add bzip2 and xz support to nix-copy-closure.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-23* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality ofEelco Dolstra
‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-22* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain toEelco Dolstra
libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-21nix: add /etc/hosts with localhost entry to chroot builds.Rob Vermaas
2011-11-21* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-21* Put back the "sys_name" variable which got removed somewhere. ThisEelco Dolstra
broke building on Cygwin and Solaris.
2011-11-21* Escape the [ and ] characters in the sed call, otherwise autoconfEelco Dolstra
will eat them.
2011-11-20* "sed" on FreeBSD doesn't know the "+" operator.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-18* In the platform, canonicalise "amd64" to "x86_64". FreeBSD 8.2'sEelco Dolstra
uname reports amd64. * Drop the FreeBSD version number, e.g. "i686-freebsd" instead of "i686-freebsd8.2".
2011-11-16configure: Change i*86 to i686 as has always been done.Ludovic Courtès
2011-11-16configure: Rely on `AC_CANONICAL_HOST' to determine the Nix system name.Ludovic Courtès
This should be more robust and also plays better with cross-compilation---it uses the host name, instead of using the build name.
2011-11-16* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don'tEelco Dolstra
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16* Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This savesEelco Dolstra
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16* Remove obsolete line.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-16* Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cacheEelco Dolstra
DB. This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my system.
2011-11-07* Boldly make SQLite WAL mode the default again. Hopefully theEelco Dolstra
intermittent problems are gone by now. WAL mode is preferrable because it does way fewer fsyncs.
2011-11-05* Fix race condition in the test.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-05* Fix the broken reference to bunzip2 in the channel unpack script.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-03(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-03* The Nix configuration file is usually /etc/nix/nix.conf.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-02* Fix permission on /nix/store in the manual for multi-user installsEelco Dolstra
(reported by Silvio Frischknecht).
2011-10-27* In printValueAsXML, handle the case where a "type" attribute is notEelco Dolstra
a string. This happens in the NixOS option system. * Remove a bogus comparison of a unsigned integer with -1.
2011-10-19* Print a consistent message.Eelco Dolstra
