2013-08-14	corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local builds	Shea Levy
	nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH. Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that instantiates it. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-23	buildenv: remove special treatment of python files	Florian Friesdorf
	buildPythonPackage does not leave easy_install.pth and site.py anymore. A python package that leaves these files is broken. An exception to this is setuptoolsSite which packages setuptools' site.py. To include it into a buildenv, this patch is even needed, not just cosmetic.
2013-07-12	Fix syntax error in unpack-channel	Eelco Dolstra

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

2013-07-01	Add support for uncompressed NARs in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue NixOS/hydra#102.

	This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra

2013-01-21	corepkgs/fetchurl: Enable making the downloaded file executable	Shea Levy

2012-12-05	Support xz compression of nixexprs.tar in channels	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	buildenv.pl: Create symlinks in priority order	Eelco Dolstra
	This reduces unnecessary symlink/unlink steps.
2012-12-04	Add a test for ‘nix-env --set-flag active ...’	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-09-11	Don't use -warning=no-timestamp unless we have GNU tar	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2998485
2012-08-01	nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels	Eelco Dolstra
	Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.
2012-08-01	Use a GNU tar flag to shut up warnings about implausibly old timestamp	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-01	Inline unpack-channel.sh	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-25	import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation ↵	Shea Levy
	attrset. The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output. I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more): * Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix) * Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed in environment.systemPackages, for example. * Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

2012-07-01	Fix xz compression	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-01	Allow both bzip2 and xz compression	Eelco Dolstra

2012-06-29	Use XZ compression in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra
	XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory.
2012-05-09	Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra
	The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.
