2017-05-01	Add a dummy Store::buildPaths() method	Eelco Dolstra
	This default implementation of buildPaths() does nothing if all requested paths are already valid, and throws an "unsupported operation" error otherwise. This fixes a regression introduced by c30330df6f67c81986dfb124631bc756c8e58c0d in binary cache and legacy SSH stores.
2017-04-13	Convert Settings to the new config system	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-13	Merge branch 'rework-options' of https://github.com/copumpkin/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-13	Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings	Eelco Dolstra
	The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members: class MyClass : private Config { Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"}; Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"}; MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf")) { std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden } }; Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store parameter in a store URI.
2017-04-10	Allow "auto" as a store URI	Eelco Dolstra
	Using the empty string is likely to be ambiguous in some contexts.
2017-04-06	nix-daemon: Disable path info cache	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useless because the client also caches path info, and can cause problems for long-running clients like hydra-queue-runner (i.e. it may return cached info about paths that have been garbage-collected).
2017-03-21	Only use cache.nixos.org when the store is /nix/store	Eelco Dolstra
	This is consistent with the behaviour of the old download-from-binary-cache substituter.
2017-03-21	Restore cache.nixos.org as the default substituter	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1283.
2017-03-16	copyPaths(): Use queryValidPaths() to reduce SSH latency	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	copyPaths(): Don't query path info for a path the target already has	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, this cuts "nix-copy-closure --from" on a NixOS system closure from 15.9s to 0.5s.
2017-03-03	build-remote: Don't use a SSH master	Eelco Dolstra
	This is unnecessary because we make only one connection.
2017-02-22	Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized ones	Dan Peebles
	Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that. Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line, but I'm not doing that yet here.
2017-02-22	RemoteStore::addToStore(): Pass content-addressability assertion	Eelco Dolstra
	... and use this in Downloader::downloadCached(). This fixes $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.09-small/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello error: cannot import path ‘/nix/store/csfbp1s60dkgmk9f8g0zk0mwb7hzgabd-nixexprs.tar.xz’ because it lacks a valid signature
2017-02-07	Merge branch 'nix-copy-closure-c++' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-02-07	copyStorePath(): Don't require signatures for "trusted" stores	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, SSH stores could be trusted.
2017-02-07	Provide default implementations for a couple of Store methods	Eelco Dolstra

2017-01-26	exportReferencesGraph: Export more complete info in JSON format	Eelco Dolstra
	This writes info about every path in the closure in the same format as ‘nix path-info --json’. Thus it also includes NAR hashes and sizes. Example: [ { "path": "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "narHash": "sha256:0ckdc4z20kkmpqdilx0wl6cricxv90lh85xpv2qljppcmz6vzcxl", "narSize": 197648, "references": [ "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24" ], "closureSize": 20939776 }, { "path": "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24", "narHash": "sha256:1nfn3m3p98y1c0kd0brp80dn9n5mycwgrk183j17rajya0h7gax3", "narSize": 20742128, "references": [ "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24" ], "closureSize": 20742128 } ] Fixes #1134.
2017-01-20	nix-copy-closure: Implement in C++.	Shea Levy
	Tests fail currently because the database is not given proper hashes in the VM
2016-11-10	build-remote: Implement in C++	Shea Levy

2016-11-09	copyClosure() / copyStorePath(): Expose dontCheckSigs	Eelco Dolstra
	Needed by Hydra.
2016-11-09	Merge branch 'ssh-store' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2016-10-21	BinaryCacheStore: Optionally write a NAR listing	Eelco Dolstra
	The store parameter "write-nar-listing=1" will cause BinaryCacheStore to write a file ‘<store-hash>.ls.xz’ for each ‘<store-hash>.narinfo’ added to the binary cache. This file contains an XZ-compressed JSON file describing the contents of the NAR, excluding the contents of regular files. E.g. { "version": 1, "root": { "type": "directory", "entries": { "lib": { "type": "directory", "entries": { "Mcrt1.o": { "type": "regular", "size": 1288 }, "Scrt1.o": { "type": "regular", "size": 3920 }, } } } ... } } (The actual file has no indentation.) This is intended to speed up the NixOS channels programs index generator [1], since fetching gazillions of large NARs from cache.nixos.org is currently a bottleneck for updating the regular (non-small) channel.

2016-10-07	Store::queryValidPaths(): Use async queryPathInfo()	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows the binary cache substituter to pipeline requests.
2016-10-07	Implement generic Store::queryValidPaths()	Eelco Dolstra

2016-10-07	Add copyClosure utility function for Hydra	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-21	printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-16	Make computeFSClosure() single-threaded again	Eelco Dolstra
	The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than returning a future. Thus, a command like nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5 that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed CloudFront.)

2016-09-02	Merge openStore and openStoreAt with default arguments	Shea Levy

2016-08-10	Mark content-addressed paths in the Nix database and in .narinfo	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows such paths to be imported without signatures.
2016-07-26	makeFixedOutputPath(): Drop superfluous HashType argument	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-20	Re-implement negative binary cache lookup caching	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-02	Allow setting the state directory as a store parameter	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".
2016-06-01	Make the store directory a member variable of Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-30	Fix repair during substitution	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-04	Add a Store::addToStore() variant that accepts a NAR	Eelco Dolstra
	As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when copying paths between stores. Also refactored import/export to make use of this.
2016-05-04	Remove OpenSSL-based signing	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-04	Add a copyStorePath() utility function	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-29	Allow parameters in store URIs	Eelco Dolstra
	This is to allow store-specific configuration, e.g. s3://my-cache?compression=bzip2&secret-key=/path/to/key.
2016-04-29	Eliminate the substituter mechanism	Eelco Dolstra
	Substitution is now simply a Store -> Store copy operation, most typically from BinaryCacheStore to LocalStore.
2016-04-21	Fix test failures	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-21	Implement S3BinaryCacheStore::queryAllValidPaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows commands like "nix verify --all" or "nix path-info --all" to work on S3 caches. Unfortunately, this requires some ugly hackery: when querying the contents of the bucket, we don't want to have to read every .narinfo file. But the S3 bucket keys only include the hash part of each store path, not the name part. So as a special exception queryAllValidPaths() can now return store paths without the name part, and queryPathInfo() accepts such store paths (returning a ValidPathInfo object containing the full name).
2016-04-20	Cache path info lookups in SQLite	Eelco Dolstra
	This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.
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().
2016-04-07	nix verify-paths: Add ‘--sigs-needed <N>’ flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This specifies the number of distinct signatures required to consider each path "trusted". Also renamed ‘--no-sigs’ to ‘--no-trust’ for the flag that disables verifying whether a path is trusted (since a path can also be trusted if it has no signatures, but was built locally).
2016-04-05	Add "nix sign-paths" command	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix sign-paths -k ./secret -r $(type -p geeqie) signs geeqie and all its dependencies using the key in ./secret.
2016-03-24	Move signature support from NarInfo to ValidPathInfo	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-24	Typos	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-29	Make store implementations pluggable	Eelco Dolstra
	This for instance allows hydra-queue-runner to add the S3 backend at runtime.
