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.
2009-12-09* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the sameEelco Dolstra
URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09* nix-build: be less verbose.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-17* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the callingEelco Dolstra
Nix though.
2009-11-13* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if itEelco Dolstra
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro BolĂ­var Puente.
2009-09-17(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-17* build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather thanEelco Dolstra
giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then the second machine and so on. This should improve utilisation of the Hydra build farm a lot. Also take an optional speed factor into account to cause fast machines to be preferred over slower machines with a similar load.
2009-09-17* build-remote.pl: allow the system type to be a comma-separated listEelco Dolstra
of system types. Don't treat the x86_64-linux system type specially.
2009-07-15* nix-build: pass the --show-trace flag.Eelco Dolstra
2009-06-10* nix-build: if nix-instantiate or nix-store fails due to a signalEelco Dolstra
(e.g. out of memory or a segfault), print an error message. Otherwise the user doesn't see anything.
2009-04-21* Machines of type x86_64-linux can do i686-linux builds.Eelco Dolstra
2009-04-16* Cleanup.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-29* Update the mtime on the lock file to make it easy to see when a slotEelco Dolstra
was last used.
2009-03-29* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hookEelco Dolstra
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first* machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28* nix-copy-closure: compute the closure in one call to nix-store,Eelco Dolstra
which is much faster.
