| 2006-11-29 | * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation. | Roy van den Broek | |
| 2006-11-29 | * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries. | |||
| 2006-11-24 | * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (NIX-70) | |||
| 2006-11-24 | * Dead files. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-18 | * Show more progress. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-18 | * Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. This | Eelco Dolstra | |
| gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard input/output. (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).) For instance, `nix-store --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a certain input. Another victory for Valgrind. | |||
| 2006-11-14 | * Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-14 | * Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-14 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-14 | * Use the patched ATerm library. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-14 | * Push. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-13 | * Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessary | Eelco Dolstra | |
| now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy. | |||
| 2006-11-13 | * Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references | Eelco Dolstra | |
| graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible). | |||
| 2006-11-13 | * Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We need | Eelco Dolstra | |
| this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents. | |||
| 2006-11-13 | * Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky | Eelco Dolstra | |
| results on some machines. (NIX-69) | |||
| 2006-11-07 | * Fix the locking patch for Berkeley DB 4.5. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-11-03 | * Fix importing of derivation outputs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-31 | * Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-30 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-30 | * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-28 | * Don't use EPSV. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-28 | * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if | Eelco Dolstra | |
| available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver. | |||
| 2006-10-26 | * Typo reported by Arie Middelkoop. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Left out close-quote in example. | |||
| 2006-10-23 | * Some better error messages. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-19 | * Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four years | Eelco Dolstra | |
| old... | |||
| 2006-10-19 | * Checks for allowedReferences and some other features. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Use nix-build in a test. | |||
| 2006-10-19 | * Better message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-19 | * toFile: maintain the references. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-19 | * nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-19 | * Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to | Eelco Dolstra | |
| check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though. | |||
| 2006-10-17 | * Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Print out the offending path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * An awful backwards compatibility hack. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Maintain the references for the user environment properly. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Another test. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), and | Eelco Dolstra | |
| the semantic changes. | |||
| 2006-10-17 | * toPath: should be the identity on paths. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass | Eelco Dolstra | |
| non-store paths to a builder. | |||
| 2006-10-17 | * Do the path check on the normal form. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-17 | * Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-16 | * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string | Eelco Dolstra | |
| concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.) | |||
| 2006-10-13 | * Fix version. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-13 | * Use Berkeley DB 4.5. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-13 | * A helpful message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-13 | * Don't crash when upgrading the Berkeley DB environment. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-12 | * Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB to | Eelco Dolstra | |
| prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl. | |||
| 2006-10-11 | * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another | Eelco Dolstra | |
| kind of notation for strings. | |||
