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	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.

2014-03-11	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.

2014-03-05	Revert "Make ifs and asserts tail-recursive"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 273322c7732093a354e86df82cf75d6604b8bce8.

2014-02-28	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

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	Installer: Handle Darwin	Eelco Dolstra
	"cp -r" doesn't copy symlinks properly on Darwin, but "cp -R" does. Fixes #215.

	Fixes #68. Fixes #117.
2014-02-26	Also provide an option for setting the curl connection timeout	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-26	Respect $NIX_CONNECT_TIMEOUT properly	Eelco Dolstra
	We were 1) using CURLOPT_TIMEOUT instead of CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT; 2) not passing it to the curl child process. Issue #93.
2014-02-26	Add ~/.nix-profile/sbin to $PATH	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #112.
2014-02-26	Warn about missing -I paths	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #121. Note that we don't warn about missing $NIX_PATH entries because it's intended that some may be missing (cf. the default $NIX_PATH on NixOS, which includes paths like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs for backward compatibility).
