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.
2009-03-28* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use fileEelco 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 10Eelco 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 makeEelco 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 whenEelco 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 ofEelco 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.
2009-02-19Replace wrong (w.r.t. PATH) sed call with in-shell substitutionMichael Raskin
2009-02-03* Build hook: compress the transferred data.Eelco Dolstra
2009-02-02* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundantEelco 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 failuresEelco 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).

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. ThisEelco 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 isEelco 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 remoteEelco Dolstra
nix-store process when the connection is interrupted.
2008-12-04* Support multiple system types per remote machine, e.g. a machineEelco 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: theEelco 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.

2008-11-20* Urgh.Eelco Dolstra
2008-11-19* Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as aEelco Dolstra
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string. Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't be copied to the remote machine.)
2008-11-18* Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.Eelco Dolstra
2008-09-08* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2008-08-29Added nix-http-export.cgi to extra distributed scripts; so it can be ↵Michael Raskin
installed from releases, not only from SVN.
2008-08-06Updates to nix-reduce-buildMichael Raskin
Common code in local build package sources refactored out in a function; before building the real set of derivations needed is found (slightly slower for only one build strategy, but less garbage on output and better performance for multiple build strategies). Now you have full choice of best-effort build regardless of method (substituters or actual build), using substituters, building only fixed derivations (should get you all the downloads) and local build without even trying substituters. Some minor fix in the help text about behavior with no package sources.
2008-08-04* nix-build: `--dry-run' flag.Eelco Dolstra
2008-08-04* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2008-08-02Updates to nix-reduce-build: only realize fixed derivations if user asks so, ↵Michael Raskin
or only use substituters. Oh, and add possibility to use : for things like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs:-A:gnused
2008-08-02* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctlyEelco 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.
2008-07-23* A quick hack to make nix-prefetch-url support mirror:// URLs. ItEelco Dolstra
requires that $NIXPKGS_ALL points at a Nixpkgs tree.
2008-07-23* Make sure that copy-from-other-stores.pl is built.Eelco Dolstra
2008-07-18* Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOSEelco Dolstra
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix daemon).
2008-07-18* Use the copy-from-other-stores substituter by default. Of course,Eelco Dolstra
it only does something if $NIX_OTHER_STORES (not really a good name...) is set. * Do globbing on the elements of $NIX_OTHER_STORES. E.g. you could set it to /mnts/*/nix or something. * Install substituters in libexec/nix/substituters.
