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

2016-05-31	nix-copy-closure / build-remote.pl: Disable signature checking	Eelco Dolstra
	This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.
2016-05-30	Re-implement the WantMassQuery property of binary caches	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	BinaryCacheStore: Make the signing key a parameter	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	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().
2016-04-15	BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a string	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and might eliminate some large string copying.
2016-04-08	Remove failed build caching	Eelco Dolstra
	This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
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 copy-sigs" command	Eelco Dolstra
	This imports signatures from one store into another. E.g. $ nix copy-sigs -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org/ imported 595 signatures
2016-03-30	Improve the SQLite wrapper API	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this eliminates a bunch of boilerplate code.
2016-03-24	Move signature support from NarInfo to ValidPathInfo	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-22	Don't overload dumpPath()	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-21	Move signatures from NarInfo to ValidPathInfo	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows queryPathInfo() to return signatures.
2016-03-21	Add Store::dumpPath() method	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores: NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --verify-path /nix/store/s5c7...
2016-03-14	Fix another mismatched tag	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/33279570
2016-03-04	BinaryCacheStore: Remove publicKeyFile argument	Eelco Dolstra
	The public key can be derived from the secret key, so there's no need for the user to supply it separately.
2016-03-02	Provide function required by Hydra	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-02	Make store implementations pluggable	Eelco Dolstra
	This for instance allows hydra-queue-runner to add the S3 backend at runtime.
2016-03-02	importPaths(): Optionally add NARs to binary cache accessor	Eelco Dolstra
	This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a download of a NAR it just uploaded to the cache when reading files like hydra-build-products.
2016-02-25	Add NAR / Store accessor abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like "nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.
2016-02-24	Eliminate reserveSpace flag	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-24	Move BinaryCacheStore / LocalBinaryCacheStore from Hydra	Eelco Dolstra
	So you can now do: $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-store -qR /nix/store/...
2016-02-16	Rename ValidPathInfo::hash -> narHash for consistency	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-15	Expose the export magic value and move LocalStore::queryReferences to Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-15	Add function to extract hash part of a store path	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.)
2016-01-31	Add build mode to compute fixed-output derivation hashes	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, $ nix-build --hash -A nix-repl.src will build the fixed-output derivation nix-repl.src (a fetchFromGitHub call), but instead of verifying the hash given in the Nix expression, it prints out the resulting hash, and then moves the result to its content-addressed location in the Nix store. E.g build produced path ‘/nix/store/504a4k6zi69dq0yjc0bm12pa65bccxam-nix-repl-8a2f5f0607540ffe56b56d52db544373e1efb980-src’ with sha256 hash ‘0cjablz01i0g9smnavhf86imwx1f9mnh5flax75i615ml71gsr88’ The goal of this is to make all nix-prefetch-* scripts unnecessary: we can just let Nix run the real thing (i.e., the corresponding fetch* derivation). Another example: $ nix-build --hash -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchgit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git"; sha256 = "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"; }' ... git revision is 9e7c1a4bbdbe6129dd9dc385776612c307d3d1bb ... build produced path ‘/nix/store/gmsnh9i7x4mb7pyd2ns7n3c9l90jfsi1-nix’ with sha256 hash ‘1188xb621diw89n25rifqg9lxnzpz7nj5bfh4i1y3dnis0dmc0zp’ (Having to specify a fake sha256 hash is a bit annoying...)
2015-11-09	Add option to verify build determinism	Eelco Dolstra
	Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)
2015-10-06	nix-store --serve: Implement log size limit	Eelco Dolstra

2015-08-21	nix-collect-garbage: Revive --max-freed	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #609.
2015-07-20	Provide more detailed info about build status to hydra-queue-runner	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, hydra-queue-runner can now distinguish between remote build / substitution / already-valid. For instance, if a path already existed on the remote side, we don't want to store a log file.
2015-07-17	Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure	Eelco Dolstra
	Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts). So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation (BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation (drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this interface. Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env -i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk). Fixes #173.
2015-06-02	Add a ‘verifyStore’ RPC	Ludovic Courtès
	Hello! The patch below adds a ‘verifyStore’ RPC with the same signature as the current LocalStore::verifyStore method. Thanks, Ludo’. >From aef46c03ca77eb6344f4892672eb6d9d06432041 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ludovic=20Court=C3=A8s?= <ludo@gnu.org> Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 23:17:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add a 'verifyStore' remote procedure call.
2015-03-25	addToStore(): Take explicit name argument	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-01	Add an 'optimiseStore' remote procedure call.	Ludovic Courtès

2014-03-30	boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-18	Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.
2013-05-23	nix-store --export: Export paths in topologically sorted order	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #118.
2012-12-20	nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings	Eelco Dolstra
	So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store -q --roots’ now shows that root.
