2020-12-01	Lower verbosity for 'Failed to find a machine' message	Eelco Dolstra

2020-10-06	Remove static variable name clashes	Eelco Dolstra
	This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't hurt...
2020-08-12	Make `system-features` a store setting	John Ericson
	This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful. I use this to clean up the build remotes test.

2019-12-10	Make the Store API more type-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
2019-11-13	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2019-03-06	canBuildLocally: check for features	volth
	It could happen that the local builder match the system but lacks some features. Now it results a failure. The fix gracefully excludes the local builder from the set of available builders for derivation which requires the feature, so the derivation is built on remote builders only (as though it has incompatible system, like ```aarch64-linux``` when local is x86)
2018-10-26	Merge all nix-* binaries into nix	Eelco Dolstra
	These are all symlinks to 'nix' now, reducing the installed size by about ~1.7 MiB.
2018-04-23	Merge branch 'aarch64-armv7' of git://github.com/lheckemann/nix	Shea Levy
	Support extra compatible architectures (#1916)
2018-04-21	Fix library ordering in Makefiles	Andrew Dunham
	The existing ordering linked `libutil` before `libstore`, which causes link failures when building statically. This is due to `libstore` using functions from `libutil`, and the fact that symbol resolution works "forward" - i.e. if you pass `-lfoo -lbar -lbaz`, any symbols that `libbar` uses from `libbaz` will be resolved, but symbols from `libfoo` will not since it comes first in the command line. All this to say: this commit reorders the libraries which fixes the link errors.
2018-03-20	Hack to get SSH error messages from build-remote	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. cannot build on 'ssh://mac1': cannot connect to 'mac1': bash: nix-store: command not found cannot build on 'ssh://mac2': cannot connect to 'mac2': Host key verification failed. cannot build on 'ssh://mac3': cannot connect to 'mac3': Received disconnect from 213... port 6001:2: Too many authentication failures Authentication failed.
2018-03-16	build-remote: take extra-platforms into account	Linus Heckemann

2018-03-13	build-remote: Don't substitute the build result	Eelco Dolstra

2018-02-13	Merge branch 'plugins' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2018-02-12	Fix hang in build-remote	Eelco Dolstra

2018-02-08	Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.	Shea Levy
	All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.
2018-01-09	nix.conf: builders-use-substitutes	Renzo Carbonara
	Fixes #937
2017-11-25	build-remote: Fix missing log output	aszlig
	The storeUri variable in the build-remote hook is declared very much to the start of the main function and a bunch of lines later, the same variable gets checked via hasPrefix() but it gets assigned after that check when the most suitable machine for the build was choosen. So I guess this was just a typo in d16fd2497374671c92cb877f9570d65783a7 and what we really want is to either checkd the prefix after assigning storeUri or use bestMachine->storeUri directly. I choose the latter, because the former could introduce even more regressions if the try block where the variable gets assigned terminates early. Nevertheless, the reason why the log output didn't work is because hasPrefix() checked for "ssh://" in front of storeUri, but if the storeUri isn't set correctly (or at all), we don't get the log file descriptor set up properly, leading to no log output. I've adjusted the remote-builds test to include a regression test for this, so that we can make sure we get a build output when using remote builds. In addition to that I've tested this with two of my build farms and the build logs are emitted correctly again. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build>
2017-10-24	Allow shorter syntax for chroot stores	Eelco Dolstra
	You can now say '--store /tmp/nix' instead of '--store local?root=/tmp/nix'.
2017-10-24	More progress indicator improvements	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1599.
2017-10-24	Progress indicator: Show on what machine we're building	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix build nixpkgs.hello --builders 'root@wendy' [1/0/1 built] building hello-2.10 on ssh://root@wendy: checking for minix/config.h... no
2017-10-24	build-remote: Work properly on a chrooted store	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-24	Handle log messages from build-remote	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes the progress indicator show statuses like "connecting to 'root@machine'".
2017-10-23	Pass all settings to build-remote	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that command line flags such as --builders get passed correctly.
2017-10-23	build-remote: Put current load under the store state directory	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes the error error: opening lock file '/nix/var/nix/current-load/main-lock': Permission denied when using a chroot store.
2017-07-31	Merge branch 'macOS' of https://github.com/davidak/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-30	replace "OS X" with "macOS"	davidak

2017-07-03	Replace a few bool flags with enums	Eelco Dolstra
	Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a severe risk of mixing up arguments. Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
2017-05-08	build-remote: Check remote build status	Eelco Dolstra

2017-05-02	build-remote: Fix fallback to other machines when connecting fails	Eelco Dolstra
	Opening an SSHStore or LegacySSHStore does not actually establish a connection, so the try/catch block here did nothing. Added a Store::connect() method to test whether a connection can be established.
2017-05-02	Add an option for specifying remote builders	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a builder on the command line instead of having to mess with nix.machines. E.g. $ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \ --option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin' will perform the specified build on "macstadium1". It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration file, IIRC.) Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...
2017-05-02	Factor out machines.conf parsing	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows hydra-queue-runner to use it.
2017-05-02	build-hook: If there are no machines defined, quit permanently	Eelco Dolstra

2017-05-02	build-remote: Ugly hackery to get build logs to work	Eelco Dolstra
	The build hook mechanism expects build log output to go to file descriptor 4, so do that.
2017-05-01	build-remote: Don't require signatures	Eelco Dolstra
	This restores the old behaviour.
2017-05-01	Support arbitrary store URIs in nix.machines	Eelco Dolstra
	For backwards compatibility, if the URI is just a hostname, ssh:// (i.e. LegacySSHStore) is prepended automatically. Also, all fields except the URI are now optional. For example, this is a valid nix.machines file: local?root=/tmp/nix This is useful for testing the remote build machinery since you don't have to mess around with ssh.
2017-05-01	Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOAD	Eelco Dolstra
	This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment variables predate nix.conf. The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote). The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.
2017-05-01	build-remote: Don't copy the .drv closure	Eelco Dolstra
	Since build-remote uses buildDerivation() now, we don't need to copy the .drv file anymore. This greatly reduces the set of input paths copied to the remote side (e.g. from 392 to 51 store paths for GNU hello on x86_64-darwin).
