2016-09-14Revive binary-caches-parallel-connectionsEelco Dolstra
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads, not just binary cache lookups. Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2 (enabled by default).

2016-07-21NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute (#957)Matthias Beyer
Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional deployment mechanisms. I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds over several machines. I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually save, as you do not have side effects when building! So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute the builds. All was good. I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf. When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It failed, telling me error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able to find the issue. I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the SSH key and everything. I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either. So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables. And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes rather than relatives. And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall because something is not documented somewhere.
2016-07-20documentation: mention required openssl dependency (#974)Dmitry Kalinkin
Fixes: a6ca68a7 ("Require OpenSSL")
2016-07-04Don't hardcode docbook XSL namespace URLaszlig
Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version. So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current" in the hope that this won't happen again. I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could have implications.

2016-04-26fix "nix-build" examplesScott R. Parish
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing: error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’) Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix! Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as suggested by @domenkozar
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
