2009-01-12	* Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux Nix	Eelco Dolstra
	installations. This is implemented using the personality() syscall, which causes uname to return "i686" in child processes.
2008-12-12	* Some hackery to make "make check" succeed on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-12-12	* Detect whether unshare() is available.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-12-11	* Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the	Eelco Dolstra
	bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its children. So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories anymore. Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear automatically when the builder exits.
2008-11-26	* Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-11-20	* Bump the version number.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-11-20	* Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the Autoconf	Eelco Dolstra
	default of /usr/local. However, localstatedir and storedir are set to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're explicitly overriden.
2008-06-09	* Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD	Eelco Dolstra
	https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-05-07	--proxy=proxy:3128	Michael Raskin

2008-04-10	* Make really sure that we use bash. The line	Eelco Dolstra
	NEED_PROG(shell, bash) actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at /bin/sh.
2007-12-31	* Bumped the version number to 0.12.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-12-14	* Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for	Eelco Dolstra
	builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-11-01	* A rule to make a PDF version of the manual.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-10-29	* Depend on bash instead of sh (since we use a few bashisms).	Eelco Dolstra

2007-10-29	* On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-10-27	* Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-05-01	* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now	Eelco Dolstra
	get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g., {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible, e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-04-16	* It seems that svnversion prints a carriage return on Cygwin, so we	Eelco Dolstra
	get a invalid #define VERSION. Use "svnversion -n" to leave out the newline. Fix provided by Marc Weber.
2007-03-01	* Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call	Eelco Dolstra
	openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2006-12-07	* Check for lchown.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-12-06	* Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations	Eelco Dolstra
	that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids, changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-03	* Use setreuid if setresuid is not available.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-11-30	* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
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.
2006-11-13	* Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky	Eelco Dolstra
	results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-10-19	* Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it is more than four years	Eelco Dolstra
	old...
2006-10-06	* Bumped the version number to 0.11.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-09-22	* Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes	Eelco Dolstra
	(NIX-22).
2006-09-20	* Check for patch (NIX-59).	Eelco Dolstra

2006-09-04	* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-25	* Map "ppc" to "powerpc" so that Linux on PowerPC will be reported as	Eelco Dolstra
	"powerpc-linux".
2006-08-21	* Convert to DocBook 5.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2006-05-31	* On Cygwin, set the system type to i686-cygwin, and disable dynamic	Eelco Dolstra
	linking.
2006-04-25	* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the	Eelco Dolstra
	externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-03-01	* Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-02-22	* Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well.
2006-02-13	* Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's	Eelco Dolstra
	implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-01	* bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-10-05	* log2xml -> nix-log2xml.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-09-21	* Use -all_load on Mac OS X.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-09-16	* Bump the version number to 0.10.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-09-15	* Check for w3m.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-09-15	* This is not a GNU project :-P	Eelco Dolstra

2005-07-22	* Build dynamic libraries.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-05-07	* Build .tar.bz2 files in `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-04-11	* Bump the version number to 0.9.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-04-08	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-03-21	* Fink compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-03-15	* Remove Docbook EBNF dependency.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-03-15	* Purify all corepkgs builders.	Eelco Dolstra
