| 2011-03-16 | * Print a better error message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2010-12-22 | * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from Perl. | |||
| 2010-12-13 | * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot | Eelco Dolstra | |
| of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'. | |||
| 2010-12-05 | * Use CamelCase for the Perl modules. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2010-11-17 | * Oops. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2010-11-17 | * When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, use | Eelco Dolstra | |
| `nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than `nix-hash'. However, only do this for estimating the size of a download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of course). | |||
| 2010-11-17 | * In the download size indication, take binary patches into account. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much. | |||
| 2010-11-17 | * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths | Eelco Dolstra | |
| will approximately require. | |||
| 2010-02-04 | * "Fix" incorrect help message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2010-02-02 | * Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn't | Eelco Dolstra | |
| support deleting the current directory. | |||
| 2009-03-19 | * Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10 | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (which should therefore be backwards compatible). | |||
| 2009-02-27 | * nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2009-02-26 | * Handle base-16 hashes in manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2009-02-19 | * download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of | Eelco Dolstra | |
| downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store path. When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the *uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use that instead for checking the integrity of the download. | |||
| 2008-11-20 | * Urgh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2008-09-08 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2008-08-04 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2008-08-02 | * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly | Eelco Dolstra | |
| again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout. | |||
| 2008-07-18 | * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS | Eelco Dolstra | |
| can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon). | |||
| 2007-10-22 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2007-08-12 | * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we | Eelco Dolstra | |
| need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster (NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with each other. The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas" takes a bit longer. Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR" on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway). * Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception). | |||
| 2007-01-23 | * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store | Eelco Dolstra | |
| path can be created by copying it from another location in the file system. This is useful in the NixOS installation. | |||
| 2007-01-23 | * Successors have been gone for ages. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2007-01-13 | * Removed chroot support. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-04 | * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-25 | * Clean up calls to system(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-05 | prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. | Armijn Hemel | |
| 2006-08-04 | * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-09-16 | * Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help in | Eelco Dolstra | |
| setuid installations. | |||
| 2005-09-15 | * Use a proper temporary directory. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-05-10 | * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant | Eelco Dolstra | |
| unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths. | |||
| 2005-04-12 | * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| `--isvalid' flag in nix-store. | |||
| 2005-03-25 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Pass `--base32' unless using MD5. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Parse new hash format properly. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-02-25 | * Add a version number to manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-02-24 | * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it | Eelco Dolstra | |
| too. * Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather unlikely there). | |||
| 2005-01-25 | * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure | Eelco Dolstra | |
| invariant by registering references through the manifest. * Added a test for nix-pull. | |||
| 2005-01-14 | * Use absolute paths. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-01-12 | * Print out less garbage. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2004-12-30 | * More instrumentation (statistics go to /nix/var/log/nix/downloads). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2004-12-30 | * Fix handling of chained patches: don't skip patches if intermediate | Eelco Dolstra | |
| paths are missing, etc. | |||
| 2004-12-30 | * Some logging for evaluation. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2004-12-29 | * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination | Eelco Dolstra | |
| distribution insofar they are applicable. | |||
| 2004-12-20 | * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Use the new patch downloader. | |||
