2009-03-26* Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binariesEelco Dolstra
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no RPMs/Debs available.
2009-03-22* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously itEelco Dolstra
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-09* Make the version available to release.nix.Eelco Dolstra
2009-01-12* Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux NixEelco 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 theEelco 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 AutoconfEelco 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:HEADEelco Dolstra
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).

2008-04-10* Make really sure that we use bash. The lineEelco 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 forEelco 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 nowEelco 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 weEelco 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, callEelco 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 operationsEelco 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 wackyEelco Dolstra
results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-10-19* Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four yearsEelco 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 bytesEelco 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 asEelco 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 dynamicEelco Dolstra
linking.
2006-04-25* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in theEelco 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'sEelco 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 :-PEelco 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
