2014-08-04	Add option ‘build-extra-chroot-dirs’	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for extending (rather than overriding) the default set of chroot paths.
2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Make chroot builds easier to set up	Eelco Dolstra
	By default, we now include /bin/sh as a bind-mount of bash.
2014-08-04	Speed up nix-shell	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Remove ugly hack for detecting build environment setup errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Call commonChildInit() before doing chroot init	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that daemon clients see error messages from the chroot setup.
2014-08-01	Eliminate redundant copy	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	findRoots(): Prevent a call to lstat()	Eelco Dolstra
	This means that getting the roots from /nix/var/nix/.../hydra-roots doesn't need any I/O other than reading the directory.
2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Allow regular files as GC roots	Eelco Dolstra
	If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store path. For instance, the existence of the file /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 would cause /nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 to be a root. This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink() call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org, which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots can take 25 minutes.
2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-07-30	make clean: Remove Makefile.config	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-30	Rename nixPath to __nixPath	Eelco Dolstra
	The name ‘nixPath’ breaks existing code.
2014-07-29	install-nix-from-closure.sh: Install cacert	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-29	nix-profile.sh: Set $SSL_CERT_FILE	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-28	Remove outdated AUTHORS file	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-25	nix-daemon: Pass on the user's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the SSH substituter	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-25	Change the default for use-ssh-substituter to ‘true’	Eelco Dolstra
	Now you only have to pass ‘--option ssh-substituter-hosts nix-ssh@bla’ to enable SSH substitution.
2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Drop --bzip2, --xz, --show-progress	Eelco Dolstra
	These are too difficult to implement via nix-store --serve. ‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a sink/source wrapper class.
2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Implement --gzip via ssh's -C flag	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Fix NIX_SSHOPTS	Eelco Dolstra
	Closes #302.
2014-07-24	Remove obsolete SSH master connection code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Implement nix-copy-closure --from via nix-store --serve	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	build-remote.pl: Be less verbose on failing builds	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Refactor	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	tests/remote-builds.nix: Test failing build	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	nix-store --serve: Only monitor stdin during builds	Eelco Dolstra
	Other operations cannot hang indefinitely (except when we're reading from stdin, in which case we'll notice a client disconnect). But monitoring works badly during compressed imports, since there the client can close the connection before we've sent an ack. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12711638
2014-07-24	tests/remote-builds.nix: Don't try cache.nixos.org	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Use pthread_cancel instead of a signal	Eelco Dolstra
	Signal handlers are process-wide, so sending SIGINT to the monitor thread will cause the normal SIGINT handler to run. This sets the isInterrupted flag, which is not what we want. So use pthread_cancel instead.
2014-07-24	Fix bogus pass by reference	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12711659
2014-07-24	More debugging	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Add some assertions	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Remove some dead code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	Remove some obsolete files	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	Pass -pthread only for programs that need it	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	nix-daemon: Less verbosity	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	nix-daemon: Simplify stderr handling	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	nix-store --serve: Monitor for client disconnects	Eelco Dolstra
	This is necessary because build-remote.pl now builds via ‘nix-store --serve’. So if a build hangs without writing to stdout/stderr, and the client disconnects, then we need to detect that.
2014-07-23	nix-daemon: Use a thread instead of SIGPOLL to catch client disconnects	Eelco Dolstra
	The thread calls poll() to wait until a HUP (or other error event) happens on the client connection. If so, it sends SIGINT to the main thread, which is then cleaned up normally. This is much nicer than messing around with SIGPOLL.
2014-07-23	startProcess: Make writing error messages from the child more robust	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	Remove dead code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-19	Revert old useBuildHook behaviour	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-18	Better fix for strcasecmp on Darwin	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-18	Bump	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-17	Ugly hack to fix building on old Darwin	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12580878
2014-07-17	nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options	Eelco Dolstra
	‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to ‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the wheel group. ‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be ‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.
2014-07-17	nix-daemon: Show name of connecting user	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-17	nix-daemon: Only print connection info if we have SO_PEERCRED	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-17	nix-daemon: Fix compat with older clients	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-16	Get rid of a compiler warning	Eelco Dolstra
