2016-04-25	Fix "path is not in the Nix store" during GC	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-25	Improved logging abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-04-21	Fix test failures	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-19	Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store	Eelco Dolstra
	Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s. This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and Store::queryReferences().
2016-04-08	Make LocalStore thread-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Necessary for multi-threaded commands like "nix verify-paths".
2016-02-24	deletePath(): Succeed if path doesn't exist	Eelco Dolstra
	Also makes it robust against concurrent deletions.
2016-02-24	Eliminate reserveSpace flag	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-11	Move addPermRoot into Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-04	StoreAPI -> Store	Eelco Dolstra
	Calling a class an API is a bit redundant...
2016-02-04	Eliminate the "store" global variable	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2015-07-17	OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for	Eelco Dolstra

2015-06-30	GC: Handle ENOSPC creating/moving to the trash directory	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #564.
2015-03-06	Fix typos: s/the the/the/	Daniel Hahler

2014-12-12	Ensure we're writing to stderr in the builder	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17862041
2014-11-19	Disable vacuuming the DB after garbage collection	Eelco Dolstra
	Especially in WAL mode on a highly loaded machine, this is not a good idea because it results in a WAL file of approximately the same size ad the database, which apparently cannot be deleted while anybody is accessing it.
2014-11-19	Clean up temp roots in a more C++ way	Eelco Dolstra

2014-11-04	nix-store --gc: Don't warn about missing manifests directory	Eelco Dolstra

2014-10-03	Remove some duplicate code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	Use regular file GC roots if possible	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes hydra-eval-jobs create roots as regular files. See 1c208f2b7ef8ffb5e6d435d703dad83223a67bd6.
2014-08-01	findRoots(): Prevent a call to lstat()	Eelco Dolstra
	This means that getting the roots from /nix/var/nix/.../hydra-roots doesn't need any I/O other than reading the directory.
2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Allow regular files as GC roots	Eelco Dolstra
	If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store path. For instance, the existence of the file /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 would cause /nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 to be a root. This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink() call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org, which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots can take 25 minutes.
2014-03-30	boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-01-21	Fix some clang warnings	Eelco Dolstra

2013-12-10	Garbage collector: Release locks on temporary root files	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows processes waiting for such locks to proceed during the trash deletion phase of the garbage collector.
2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-10-22	For auto roots, show the intermediate link	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. "nix-store -q --roots" will now show (for example) /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/result rather than /nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/53222qsppi12s2hkap8dm2lg8xhhyk6v
2013-07-12	Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarily	Eelco Dolstra
	Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-04-26	addAdditionalRoots(): Check each path only once	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

2013-01-05	Delete a left-over trash directory before doing a GC	Eelco Dolstra

2013-01-04	Fix "0 store paths deleted" message	Eelco Dolstra

2013-01-03	Clear any immutable bits in the Nix store	Eelco Dolstra
	Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2012-12-20	Yet another rewrite of the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra
	But this time it's obviously correct! No more segfaults due to infinite recursions for sure, etc. Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to /nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>. Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at the end.
2012-12-19	If gc-keep-derivations is set, only keep the actual deriver	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle that can occur with fixed-output derivations).
2012-09-19	Templatise tokenizeString()	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-13	Vacuum the SQLite DB after running the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-13	Delete paths in a component in topologically sorted order	Eelco Dolstra
	The outputs of a derivation can refer to each other (even though they cannot have cycles), so they have to be deleted in the right order. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3026118
2012-09-12	Handle gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations both enabled	Eelco Dolstra
	If the options gc-keep-outputs and gc-keep-derivations are both enabled, you can get a cycle in the liveness graph. There was a hack to handle this, but it didn't work with multiple-output derivations, causing the garbage collector to fail with errors like ‘error: cannot delete path `...' because it is in use by `...'’. The garbage collector now handles strongly connected components in the liveness graph as a unit and decides whether to delete all or none of the paths in an SCC.
2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-05	Handle amount of disk space saved by hard linking being negative	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes bogus messages like "currently hard linking saves 17592186044416.00 MiB".
2012-08-01	Count bytes freed deleting unused links	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-01	Drop the block count in the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-01	nix-store --gc: Make ‘--max-freed 0’ do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, delete almost nothing (it will still remove unused links from /nix/store/.links).
2012-08-01	removeUnusedLinks(): Print stats on disk space saved by hard linking	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-23	Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links	Eelco Dolstra
	Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links to all files in the store. However, this means that if we delete a store path, no files are actually deleted because links in /nix/store/.links still exists. So we need to check /nix/store/.links for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.
