2013-07-31	nix-shell: Don't disable Automake dependency tracking	Eelco Dolstra
	Nixpkgs' stdenv disables dependency tracking by default. That makes sense for one-time builds, but in an interactive environment we expect repeated "make" invocations to do the right thing.
2013-07-19	nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows scripts to distinguish between a real build and a Nix shell.
2013-07-19	nix-shell: Set some environment variables also set by build.cc	Eelco Dolstra
	Setting $NIX_STORE causes the purity checks in gcc/ld-wrapper to kick in, so that's why we unset $NIX_ENFORCE_PURITY.
2013-07-19	Rename ‘nix-build --run-env’ to ‘nix-shell’	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-19	nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-18	Revert "build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 69b8f9980f39c14a59365a188b300a34d625a2cd. The timeout should be enforced remotely. Otherwise, if the garbage collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the build or closure copying for some time. If the garbage collector takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want. Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a timeout.
2013-07-11	build-remote.pl: Move "building ..." message to a better place	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-11	nix-build --run-env: Always use Bash	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #113. Fixes #131.
2013-07-11	nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shell	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.
2013-07-01	Add support for uncompressed NARs in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue NixOS/hydra#102.
2013-07-01	copy-from-other-stores.pl: Respect $NIX_BIN_DIR	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-01	copy-from-other-stores.pl: Report downloaded size as 0	Eelco Dolstra

2013-06-20	Don't keep "disabled" substituters running	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-06-07	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Respect $NIX_CONNECT_TIMEOUT	Eelco Dolstra

2013-06-07	Replace $NIX_DEBUG_SUBST with an option ‘debug-subst’	Eelco Dolstra
	Thus passing ‘--option debug-subst 1’ allows daemon users to turn on debug info and see what the substituter is doing.
2013-06-07	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Show if we're waiting for a URL	Eelco Dolstra
	Previously, if a binary cache is hanging/unreachable/slow, download-from-binary-cache.pl would also hang without any indication to the user. Now, if fetching a URL takes more than 5 seconds, it will print a message to that effect.
2013-06-05	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Fix race condition	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes the error "DBD::SQLite::db do failed: column url is not unique".
2013-06-05	Update the default binary cache URL to cache.nixos.org	Eelco Dolstra

2013-06-04	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Treat a 403 error as a 404	Eelco Dolstra
	Amazon S3 returns HTTP status code 403 if a file doesn't exist and the user has no permission to list the contents of the bucket. So treat it as 404 (meaning it's cached in the NARExistence table).
2013-05-29	build-remote.pl: Remove meaningless signing when importing the output paths	Eelco Dolstra
	The "$UID != 0" makes no sense: if the local side has write access to the Nix store (which is always the case) then it doesn't matter if we're root - we can import unsigned paths either way.
2013-05-23	build-remote.pl: Copy all outputs in one operation	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-23	build-remote.pl: Indicate if remote machine is refusing builds	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #120.
2013-05-15	download-from-binary-cache.pl: Get rid of an uninitialized value warning	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Pablo Costa.
2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Properly close the SSH connection between attempts	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Pass /dev/null as SSH's stdin	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise it will set the parent's stdin to non-blocking mode, causing the subsequent read of the set of inputs/outputs to fail randomly. That's insane.
2013-05-10	build-remote.pl: Allow a machine to refuse a build	Eelco Dolstra
	Before selecting a machine, build-remote.pl will try to run the command "nix-builds-inhibited" on the machine. If this command exists and returns a 0 exit code, then the machine won't be used. It's up to the user to provide this command, but it would typically be a script that checks whether there is enough disk space and whether the load is not too high.
2013-05-09	build-remote.pl: Create one process fewer on the remote side	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-09	build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally	Eelco Dolstra
	Don't pass --timeout / --max-silent-time to the remote builder. Instead, let the local Nix process terminate the build if it exceeds a timeout. The remote builder will be killed as a side-effect. This gives better error reporting (since the timeout message from the remote side wasn't properly propagated) and handles non-Nix problems like SSH hangs.
2013-05-07	Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.
2013-05-03	nix-copy-closure: Show a proper error message if no host name is given	Eelco Dolstra

2013-05-03	Fixing the pv position regarding compression	Lluís Batlle i Rossell
	Problem noticed by niksnut.
2013-05-03	Fixing the pv reference; I didn't mean to change it	Lluís Batlle i Rossell

2013-05-03	Adding ETA support to the --show-progress in nix-copy-closure	Lluís Batlle i Rossell
	Based on https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6 from shlevy
2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Don't hardcode /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Search process environments for roots	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use by a "nix-build --run-env" session.
2013-04-26	find-runtime-roots.pl: Use Nix::Utils::readFile	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-23	nix-build: Respect --timeout	Eelco Dolstra

2013-04-23	Fix --fallback with the binary cache substituter	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Peter Simons.
2013-04-23	Test NAR info caching	Eelco Dolstra

2013-03-08	Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra

2013-02-19	build-remote: Use the --quiet flag	Eelco Dolstra
	‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.
2013-01-21	build-remote.pl: Don't keep build logs on the build slave	Eelco Dolstra

2013-01-02	Urgggh	Eelco Dolstra

	setting
2012-12-21	download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	root This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon) installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user" is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.
2012-12-06	Set a long SQLite timeout in the binary cache substituter	Eelco Dolstra

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

2012-11-26	Undo accidental debug change	Eelco Dolstra

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.
