2021-06-23	Apply OS checks to host platform, not build	Alyssa Ross
	Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host operating systems were different. To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host triple, specifically the third "kernel" part. For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the end of the "kernel"s. I couldn't find a way to just strip these version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even more ugly IMO. Because these checks differ between kernels, and the patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.
2017-04-26	Simplify building nix-perl in nix-shell	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-31	Fix perl build	Eelco Dolstra

2017-02-07	Add nix-perl package for the perl bindings	Shea Levy

2016-04-11	Remove manifest support	Eelco Dolstra
	Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.
2015-09-18	Shut up clang warnings	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.

2014-09-18	Store.so: Add dependency on libnixutil	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #346.
2014-08-23	Fix building with Clang	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-11	build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and outputs locked as long as they're needed). It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root account on the build machine, using a forced command (e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix daemon and is therefore more efficient. Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.
