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 other	Eelco 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, or	Eelco 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't	Eelco Dolstra
	support deleting the current directory.
2010-01-25	* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much	Eelco 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 same	Eelco 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 calling	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix though.
2009-11-13	* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it	Eelco 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 Bolívar Puente.
2009-09-17	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra

2009-09-17	* build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than	Eelco 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 list	Eelco 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 signal	Eelco 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 slot	Eelco Dolstra
	was last used.
2009-03-29	* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hook	Eelco 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.
2009-03-28	* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file	Eelco Dolstra
	descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28	* Clean up the output a bit.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-03-19	* Future proofing: assume we can read manifests up to version 10	Eelco Dolstra
	(which should therefore be backwards compatible).
2009-03-19	* Disregard the Hash field in manifests.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-03-18	* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make	Eelco Dolstra
	sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built, and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18	* Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate).	Eelco Dolstra

2009-02-27	* nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-02-27	* Use the regular progress bar; the hash bar isn't very useful when	Eelco Dolstra
	the size of the download isn't known in advance.
2009-02-27	* nix-build: support --option.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-02-27	* nix-channel: use nix-build.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-02-27	* Check the manifest version.	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.
2009-02-19	Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitution	Michael Raskin

2009-02-03	* Build hook: compress the transferred data.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-02-02	* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant	Eelco Dolstra
	scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-01-13	* When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failures	Eelco Dolstra
	(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the builder failed). This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it makes sense to retry a build).
2009-01-13	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra

2008-12-04	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra

2008-12-04	* Propagate --max-silent-time to remote machines.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-12-04	* Prefer building on a remote machine over a local machine. This	Eelco Dolstra
	makes more sense for the build farm, otherwise every nix-store invocation will lead to at least one local build. Will come up with a better solution later...
2008-12-04	* When using build hooks, for any nix-store -r build operation, it is	Eelco Dolstra
	necessary that at least one build hook doesn't return "postpone", otherwise nix-store will barf ("waiting for a build slot, yet there are no running children"). So inform the build hook when this is the case, so that it can start a build even when that would exceed the maximum load on a machine.
2008-12-04	* Force allocation of a pseudo-terminal to clean up the remote	Eelco Dolstra
	nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04	* Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machine	Eelco Dolstra
	list like root@example.org x86_64-linux /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 root@example.org i686-darwin /root/.ssh/id_buildfarm 1 This is possible when the Nix installation on example.org itself has remote builds enabled.
2008-12-04	* Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the	Eelco Dolstra
	derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even succeed.
