2016-05-04	Remove OpenSSL-based signing	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-11	Handle ARM triples without an endianness suffix	Nathan Zadoks
	Alpine seems to use this, and it results in a wrong builtins.currentSystem. Big-endian ARM systems have triples starting with armv6eb- or armv7eb-, so this doesn't change any systems that already worked.
2016-03-03	configure.ac: strip -musl in the same way as -gnu	Nathan Zadoks

2016-01-12	Revert "Do not override environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 80ebd60e7ca3c48a19b94ddaeebb23182b703178. The reason why we cleared CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was because otherwise we get a default value of -O2, which interferes with the defaults set in the Makefile. (E.g. "make OPTIMIZE=0" should not pass -O2.)
2016-01-05	Do not override environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS	Ilya Novoselov
	Looks like 5a05cf4063fc6ea666f3e24c60bd2e9e5526ef4e removed usage of environment CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS by mistake. That change broke building of nix on fedora core 23.
2016-01-05	Merge pull request #685 from vizanto/master	Eelco Dolstra
	POSIX compliant directory access (fixes build on Solaris)
2015-12-10	Build sandbox support etc. unconditionally on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, use "#if __APPLE__" instead of "#if SANDBOX_ENABLED" to prevent ambiguity.
2015-11-07	Fix build on Solaris	Danny Wilson
	d_type is not part of the POSIX spec unfortunately.
2015-11-04	Require OpenSSL	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-30	<nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support xz-compressed NARs	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-21	Add resolve-system-dependencies.pl	Jude Taylor

2015-03-27	Add dependency on libcurl-dev	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-16	Use pivot_root in addition to chroot when possible	Harald van Dijk
	chroot only changes the process root directory, not the mount namespace root directory, and it is well-known that any process with chroot capability can break out of a chroot "jail". By using pivot_root as well, and unmounting the original mount namespace root directory, breaking out becomes impossible. Non-root processes typically have no ability to use chroot() anyway, but they can gain that capability through the use of clone() or unshare(). For security reasons, these syscalls are limited in functionality when used inside a normal chroot environment. Using pivot_root() this way does allow those syscalls to be put to their full use.
2015-02-10	Make libsodium an optional dependency	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-04	Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing	Eelco Dolstra
	Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’. The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and prints a public and secret key.

2014-01-09	Handle systems where "echo -n" doesn't work	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-25	Expand configure variables before writing config.status	Eelco Dolstra
	This way, we can use config.status for generating scripts/* (without ending up with lines like "#! /usr/bin/perl -I${libexecdir}/...").
2013-11-25	Remove obsolete setting of $CC_FOR_BUILD	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-25	Don't install Libtool	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-25	Don't instantiate Automake makefiles	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-22	Drop the dependency on Automake	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-22	New non-recursive, plain Make-based build system	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-08-19	Turn on -Wall	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-07	Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client	Eelco Dolstra
	On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s
2013-08-06	Set the default GCC optimisation level to -O3	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-12	Add gzip support for channel unpacking	Gergely Risko

2013-03-25	makeStoreWritable: Use statvfs instead of /proc/self/mountinfo to find out ↵	Shea Levy
	if /nix/store is a read-only bind mount /nix/store could be a read-only bind mount even if it is / in its own filesystem, so checking the 4th field in mountinfo is insufficient. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-01-02	Urgggh	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-15	Disable use of vfork()	Eelco Dolstra
	vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.
2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-10-10	Out-of-tree building of perl modules.	Mats Erik Andersson

2012-10-03	Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon	Eelco Dolstra
