2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra
	from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-09	* Use deletePathWrapped() in more places.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-12-07	* In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its	Eelco Dolstra
	ownership, then try again.
2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra
	`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-12-05	* The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged	Eelco Dolstra
	process, so forward the operation. * Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71). * findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with which we spam the user should be enough.
2006-12-04	* Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged	Eelco Dolstra
	processes can register indirect roots. Of course, there is still the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of the indirect roots when it's running as root...
2006-12-02	* Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function	Eelco Dolstra
	syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
2006-12-01	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.	Eelco Dolstra
	* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra
	containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
