2010-02-12* Typo. Reported by Peter Koppstein.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-10Don't rely on `PATH_MAX' on GNU.Ludovic Courtès
2010-02-10Add `.gitignore'.Ludovic Courtès
2010-02-05* Fix a broken link (reported by Bjorn Buckwalter).Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Bump.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Grmbl. Timing-sensitive tests are evil.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* "Fix" incorrect help message.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering sshEelco Dolstra
processes.
2010-02-04* Doh! The scope of $slotLock should extend to the end of the script,Eelco Dolstra
because otherwise the lock will be released at the end of the while loop.
2010-02-04* Typo.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Doh! Calling `system' in an END block causes the exit status in $?Eelco Dolstra
to be changed to 0.
2010-02-04* Remove the `cat' calls when not using --gzip.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Revert r19796 for now.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-03* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor buildEelco Dolstra
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.Eelco Dolstra
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-02-03* Respect @sysconfdir@.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-03* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the otherEelco Dolstra
machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build farm more robust to failures.
2010-02-03* Use SSH connection sharing in the remote build script.Eelco Dolstra
* Removed the Cygwin password hack since the problem is apparently fixed in Visual Studio.
2010-02-03* nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, orEelco Dolstra
recycle an already existing connection (using OpenSSH's connection sharing feature).
2010-02-03* Updated the release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-02* Ugly hack to make `nix-channel' work on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-02* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn'tEelco Dolstra
support deleting the current directory.
2010-02-02* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisoryEelco Dolstra
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-02-02* If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync().Eelco Dolstra
2010-01-29* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but isEelco Dolstra
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there areEelco Dolstra
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too muchEelco Dolstra
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
2010-01-25* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'Eelco Dolstra
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-12* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that NixEelco Dolstra
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is set to "ignore".
2009-12-17* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it definesEelco Dolstra
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16* Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'Eelco Dolstra
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-10* Build on Fedora 12.Eelco Dolstra
2009-12-09* Release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2009-12-09* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the sameEelco Dolstra
URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09* nix-build: be less verbose.Eelco Dolstra
2009-12-09* Give a better error message when trying to build something andEelco Dolstra
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24* Grrr.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-24* GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macroEelco Dolstra
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-24* In the garbage collector, don't count files with a link count > 1 inEelco Dolstra
the "bytes/blocks freed" statistics.
2009-11-24* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collectorEelco Dolstra
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-23* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbageEelco Dolstra
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-23* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actualEelco Dolstra
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes theEelco Dolstra
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
2009-11-23* Don't create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/{tmp,channels}, since they don'tEelco Dolstra
seem to be used anymore.
2009-11-20* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-11-17* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the callingEelco Dolstra
Nix though.
