2006-09-04* Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-06-20* Concurrent GC on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-15* In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races betweenEelco Dolstra
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2005-01-27* Make lock removal safe by signalling to blocked processes that theEelco Dolstra
lock they are waiting on has become stale (we do this by writing a meaningless token to the unlinked file).
2004-05-11* True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs inEelco Dolstra
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is initiated on one master machine, which then distributes sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the infrastructure to support this. TODO: substitutes are currently broken.
2003-11-21* Remove lock files after building. Eelco Dolstra
2003-11-18* libnix -> libstore.Eelco Dolstra
