2003-07-21 | * Changed nix-pull to match nix-push. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-21 | * Syntax fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* When pushing, put the hash in the file name so that the client can verify (proof-carrying file names?). | |||
2003-07-21 | * In `--query --generators', print out paths, not ids. | Eelco Dolstra | |
(There should really be a switch for this). | |||
2003-07-21 | * Check for errors. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-21 | * Canonicalise path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-21 | * Allow the output/expression id to be forced to a certain | Eelco Dolstra | |
value; this potentially dangerous feature enables better sharing for those paths for which the content is known in advance (e.g., because a content hash is given). * Fast builds: if we can expand all output paths of a derive expression, we don't have to build. | |||
2003-07-21 | * Changes to the command line syntax of Nix. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* A function to find all Nix expressions whose output ids are completely contained in some set. Useful for uploading relevant Nix expressions to a shared cache. | |||
2003-07-21 | * Memoize the evaluation of Fix expressions to speed up computation. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-20 | * Argh, another short-write problem. Added wrappers around | Eelco Dolstra | |
read()/write() to fix this once and for all. | |||
2003-07-20 | * Remove accidentally added file. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-20 | * Refactorings. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-18 | * Generate nar.sh, fetchurl.sh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-17 | * For debugging: `nix --verify' to check the consistency of the | Eelco Dolstra | |
database and store. | |||
2003-07-17 | * Preserve the executable bit. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-16 | * The write() system call can write less than the requested | Eelco Dolstra | |
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP. This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes. Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix --dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline. Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements in the pipeline? (In other words, is it at all possible to write reliable shell scripts?) | |||
2003-07-16 | * Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-16 | * Bug fix: slices are transitive, so if we detect that an | Eelco Dolstra | |
input path is referenced in an output paths, we also have to add all ids referenced by that input path. * Better debug assertions to catch these sorts of errors. | |||
2003-07-16 | * Substitute fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-16 | * Fix the -qr query. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-16 | * Fix self-referential outputs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Fix -qp query. | |||
2003-07-15 | * Get Fix and Nix to work again. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-15 | * The new normaliser now passes the unit tests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-15 | * Basic work on allowing derive expressions to build multiple paths. | Eelco Dolstra | |
This is not entirely trivial since this introduces the possibility of mutual recursion. * Made normal forms self-contained. * Use unique ids, not content hashes, for content referencing. | |||
2003-07-14 | * Get the garbage collector to work again. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-14 | * After building, scan for actual file system references as | Eelco Dolstra | |
opposed to declared references. This prunes the reference graph, thus allowing better garbage collection and more efficient derivate distribution. | |||
2003-07-13 | * Don't check for staleness by default. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-13 | * Pass $(prefix) and other variables through -D..., not | Eelco Dolstra | |
through config.h, to prevent silly Autoconf problems. | |||
2003-07-13 | * Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefix | Eelco Dolstra | |
etc. correctly. * Fixed nix-switch. | |||
2003-07-12 | * Fetchurl: check md5 checksum. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-11 | * Fix a bug that caused Fix not to be deterministic (due to addToStore | Eelco Dolstra | |
returning different paths if the hash of the path to be added was already available in the store under a different name). | |||
2003-07-11 | * Fix handling of pipes (read(2) may not return the required | Eelco Dolstra | |
number of bytes in one call). | |||
2003-07-10 | * Compress Nix archives when pushing them. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * Working derivate sharing. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * Convert tabs to spaces. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * A command to register successor fstate expressions. | Eelco Dolstra | |
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now, since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is known. Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was missing. | |||
2003-07-10 | * Performance enhancement. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any | Eelco Dolstra | |
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash. This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised) fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy (fetching through `wget') built in. The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side. Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification. | |||
2003-07-10 | * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix | Eelco Dolstra | |
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar). * queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying the target path (which may be empty). * Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix. TODO: bootstrap Nix and install Nix as a Fix package. | |||
2003-07-10 | * Actually go through the search directories when looking for files. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * Deleted the sys directory. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * Moved the fetchutl package to corepkgs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-10 | * Added a directory for standard Fix descriptors. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-09 | * Outline of the new scheme for derivate distribution. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-09 | * When computing the set of paths referenced by an expression, also | Eelco Dolstra | |
include the paths of the subterms. | |||
2003-07-08 | * Canonicalise paths so that Fix produces identical Nix | Eelco Dolstra | |
expressions for identical inputs. | |||
2003-07-08 | * A path canonicaliser that doesn't depend on the existence of paths | Eelco Dolstra | |
(i.e., it doesn't use realpath(3), which is broken in any case). Therefore it doesn't resolve symlinks. | |||
2003-07-08 | * The output of a Derive() node is not a referenced path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-08 | * A command to query the paths referenced by an fstate expression. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Use a temporary directory for build actions. | |||
2003-07-08 | * Get `--dump' and `--delete' to work again. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2003-07-08 | * Renamed `id' -> `name' to remove the implication of uniqueness. | Eelco Dolstra | |
