2011-03-16* Print a better error message.Eelco Dolstra
2011-02-17(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2011-02-17* nix-push: handle the case where the hash is not set in the DB.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.
2010-12-15* Disable X11 forwarding, it's not needed.Eelco Dolstra
2010-12-15* nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing ofEelco Dolstra
`+' and `?' in filenames. This is very slow if /nix/store is very large. (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to bypass the shell entirely.)
2010-12-13* nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent buildEelco Dolstra
failure. The build hook can use this to distinguish between transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13* When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lotEelco Dolstra
of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.
2010-12-07* Bad things happen when a filehandle has the same name as a module.Eelco Dolstra
2010-12-05* Use CamelCase for the Perl modules.Eelco Dolstra
2010-12-05* Add a script `nix-generate-patches'.Eelco Dolstra
* Fix the binary patching test.
2010-11-29* Move the patch generator into a module.Eelco Dolstra
2010-11-29* Don't generate patches if the system type differs.Eelco Dolstra
2010-11-29* Impose a configurable time limit on patch generation. This isEelco Dolstra
necessary because bsdiff has some pathological worst-case behaviour, e.g. O(n^2) on files consisting only of 0s.
2010-11-17* Oops.Eelco Dolstra
2010-11-17* When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, useEelco 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 pathsEelco Dolstra
will approximately require.
2010-11-17* Store the NAR size in the manifest.Eelco Dolstra
2010-11-17* nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix databaseEelco Dolstra
already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').
2010-10-04* Don't use SSH's `-tt' flag because it doesn't seem to workEelco Dolstra
on OpenSolaris when using connection sharing. Instead have the remote side check for disconnection and kill the process group when that happens.
2010-08-31* Always print hook output on stderr, even if --no-build-output isEelco Dolstra
set. * In the build hook, print a trace message to allow Hydra to pick up the name of the remote machine used for the build.
2010-08-30* When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of theEelco Dolstra
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder. Only the latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs. * Allow the verbosity to be set through an option. * Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-27* Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook thatEelco Dolstra
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g. requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ]; We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support. Probably this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-25* Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than startingEelco Dolstra
the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering those queries until it accepts a build. So if there are N derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.
2010-08-25* Don't call "cat".Eelco Dolstra
2010-08-25* In the build hook, temporarily register the derivation and itsEelco Dolstra
output as GC roots. This prevents a race if the garbage collector is running during the build.
2010-08-24* Correctly handle SSH failing to establish a connection. BecauseEelco Dolstra
this didn't work right, the build hook wouldn't fall back to using other machines of the desired type.
2010-08-11* nix-build: recognise --cores.Eelco Dolstra
2010-08-04* Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra
2010-07-21* Don't barf if the source NAR for a patch has disappeared.Eelco Dolstra
2010-06-23* Ignore packages that don't have a version.Eelco Dolstra
* Work on a manifest instead of a channel directory.
2010-06-22* Sync.Eelco Dolstra
2010-06-22* Pass `--fallback' to the remote build to ignore failingEelco Dolstra
substituters.
2010-04-26* Fix the copy-from-other-stores substituter.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-05* nix-prefetch-url depends on sed (seeEelco Dolstra
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/311170).
2010-02-16* Since Hydra now escapes `+', `=' and `?' to %NN in URIs,Eelco Dolstra
nix-prefetch-url should unescape them, because `%' is not a valid character in store path names.
2010-02-04* "Fix" incorrect help message.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Don't use ssh's -f flag since it leads to lots of lingering sshEelco Dolstra
processes.
2010-02-04* Doh! The scope of $slotLock should extend to the end of the script,Eelco Dolstra
because otherwise the lock will be released at the end of the while loop.
2010-02-04* Typo.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Doh! Calling `system' in an END block causes the exit status in $?Eelco Dolstra
to be changed to 0.
2010-02-04* Remove the `cat' calls when not using --gzip.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-04* Revert r19796 for now.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-03* Respect @sysconfdir@.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-03* In the build hook, if connecting to a machine fails, try the otherEelco Dolstra
machines of the right type (if available). This makes the build farm more robust to failures.
2010-02-03* Use SSH connection sharing in the remote build script.Eelco Dolstra
* Removed the Cygwin password hack since the problem is apparently fixed in Visual Studio.
2010-02-03* nix-copy-closure: start only one SSH connection to the server, orEelco Dolstra
recycle an already existing connection (using OpenSSH's connection sharing feature).
2010-02-02* Don't do a chdir to $tmpDir. It's not necessary, and Windows doesn'tEelco Dolstra
support deleting the current directory.
2010-01-25* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too muchEelco Dolstra
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
