2014-04-04	derivation: Don't require certain function arguments	Eelco Dolstra
	Turns out that in Nixpkgs, derivation is actually called without a ‘name’ argument in some places :-(
2014-04-04	forceString: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceAttrs: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceList: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceInt: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	Pass position information to primop calls	Eelco Dolstra
	For example: error: `tail' called on an empty list, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-2/default.nix:13:7
2014-04-04	Remove unnecessary quotes around file names	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	Include position info in function application	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows error messages like: error: the anonymous function at `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix:1:1' called without required argument `foo', at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/lib/modules.nix:77:59'

2014-04-03	Fix compile errors on Illumos	Danny Wilson

2014-04-03	Sync with make-rules repo	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-03	Support Illumos	Eelco Dolstra
	From https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/236
2014-04-03	Tweak error message	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-03	Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable	Ludovic Courtès
	While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems /dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating 3.10-3 reported not having this problem.) There’s still the problem that people without CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc), but I don’t see how we could work around it.
2014-04-01	Fix potential segfault	Eelco Dolstra
	The newEnv variable was accessed (via the dynamicEnv) pointer after it had gone out of scope. Fixes #234.
2014-03-30	nix-collect-garbage: Add --delete-older-than option	Ricardo M. Correia

2014-03-30	nix-env: Add support for --delete-generations 15d	Ricardo M. Correia
	It will delete all generations older than the specified number of days.
2014-03-30	Fix nix-shell for derivation with multiple outputs	Maxim Ivanov
	If derivation declares multiple outputs and first (default) output if not "out", then "nix-instantiate" calls return path with output names appended after "!". Than suffix must be stripped before ant path checks are done.
2014-03-30	boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-29	Drop pointless #include	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-29	Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()	Eelco Dolstra
	Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to handleChildOutput() can result in cancellation of a goal. This invalidated the "j" iterator in the waitForInput() loop, even though it was still used afterwards. Likewise for the maxSilentTime handling. Probably fixes #231. At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.
2014-03-29	restoreSIGPIPE(): Fill in sa_mask	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #231.
2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra
	Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-03-21	Make /dev/kvm optional	Ludovic Courtès
	The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!). However, it expects /dev/kvm to be present. The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems, and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists. I’m not sure about the way to handle (2). We could special-case /dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely, if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.
2014-03-18	Fix tabs	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-18	Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid path	Ludovic Courtès
	Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when that happens. More precisely: 1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an ‘Error’ exception; 2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’; 3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after sending the message. This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch below. The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this one to allow recovery.
2014-03-17	Fix -j and other flags when using the daemon	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-17	nix-build: Fix --cores flag	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-12	Remove unnecessary null pointer checks	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #225.
2014-03-12	Document nix-env -q --json	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-12	Generate release notes again	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-12	Update release notes for 1.7	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-11	Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nix	Eelco Dolstra
	Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working correctly. Broken since 0f24400d90daf65cf20142a662f8245008437e2c.
2014-03-11	Fix typos	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-11	Document null dynamic attrs	Shea Levy

2014-03-10	The expr of AttrNames/DynamicAttrDefs is always an ExprConcatStrings	Shea Levy

2014-03-10	If a dynamic attribute name evaluates to null, remove it from the set	Shea Levy

2014-03-05	Revert "Make ifs and asserts tail-recursive"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 273322c7732093a354e86df82cf75d6604b8bce8.
2014-03-05	Install missing Boost headers	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/9328376
2014-03-03	Don't set an absolute soname	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-03	Add support for making relocatable packages using $ORIGIN	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-28	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-28	Add a variable GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS_PCH for use by precompiled headers	Eelco Dolstra
	You don't want to use GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS for passing flags like "-include-pch" (clang), because that means you cannot use GLOBAL_CXXFLAGS when generating the PCH.
2014-02-28	Add variable GLOBAL_COMMON_DEPS	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a list of dependencies on which all C/C++ object files depend. Primarily useful for global precompiled headers.
2014-02-27	Set up a private /dev/pts in the chroot	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-02-27	Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application	Eelco Dolstra
	If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’ temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’ rather than an infinite recursion error. Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in c897bac54954373f63511702731fe2cb23c0c98e. Fixes #217.
2014-02-27	Fix deadlock in SubstitutionGoal	Eelco Dolstra
	We were relying on SubstitutionGoal's destructor releasing the lock, but if a goal is a top-level goal, the destructor won't run in a timely manner since its reference count won't drop to zero. So release it explicitly. Fixes #178.
2014-02-26	Doh	Eelco Dolstra
