2019-12-10	Make the Store API more type-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
2019-10-30	minor: fix mismatch of struct/class forward decl of 'Source'	Will Dietz
	Fixes the following warning and the indicate potential issue: src/libstore/worker-protocol.hh:66:1: warning: class 'Source' was previously declared as a struct; this is valid, but may result in linker errors under the Microsoft C++ ABI [-Wmismatched-tags] (cherry picked from commit 6e1bb04870b1b723282d32182af286646f13bf3c)
2019-10-29	Move most of the daemon implementation to libstore	Eelco Dolstra

2018-05-30	Make 'nix copy --to daemon' run in constant memory (daemon side)	Eelco Dolstra
	Continuation of 97002b684c902dadcd351a67208f9c2a88ff8f8f. This makes the daemon use constant memory. For example, it reduces the daemon's maximum RSS on $ nix copy --from ~/my-nix --to daemon /nix/store/1n7x0yv8vq6zi90hfmian84vdhd04bgp-blender-2.79a from 264 MiB to 7 MiB. We now use a TunnelSource to prevent the connection from ending up in an undefined state if an exception is thrown while the NAR is being sent. Issue https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1681.
2017-08-28	Don't send progress messages to older clients	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-28	Tunnel progress messages from the daemon to the client	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes the progress bar work for non-root users.
2017-04-06	Implement RemoteStore::queryMissing()	Eelco Dolstra
	This provides a significant speedup, e.g. 64 s -> 12 s for nix-build --dry-run -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-16.03 '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test on a cold local and CloudFront cache. The alternative is to use lots of concurrent daemon connections but that seems wasteful.
2016-11-09	Merge branch 'ssh-store' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-02	Implement nar-based addToStore for remote-store	Shea Levy

2016-09-02	Add narFromPath op to nix daemon	Shea Levy

2016-06-01	Make the store directory a member variable of Store	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.
2016-04-20	RemoteStore: Propagate InvalidPath exceptions from the daemon	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().
2016-04-05	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	LocalStore: Keep track of ultimately trusted paths	Eelco Dolstra
	These are content-addressed paths or outputs of locally performed builds. They are trusted even if they don't have signatures, so "nix verify-paths" won't complain about them.
2015-12-02	daemon: Add 'buildMode' parameter to 'buildPaths' RPC	Ludovic Courtès

2015-09-03	Implement buildDerivation() via the daemon	Eelco Dolstra

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

2014-07-24	Remove some dead code	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-07	Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client	Eelco Dolstra
	On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s
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

2013-02-19	Add `Settings::nixDaemonSocketFile'.	Ludovic Courtès

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.
2012-07-30	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-18	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-17	Add function queryPathFromHashPart()	Eelco Dolstra
	To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for /nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap database lookup.
2012-07-11	Replace hasSubstitutes() with querySubstitutablePaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	querySubstitutablePaths() takes a set of paths, so this greatly reduces daemon <-> client latency.
2012-07-11	Add a function queryValidPaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one. This matters when using the Nix daemon because it reduces latency. For instance, on "nix-env -qas \*" it reduces execution time from 5.7s to 4.7s (which is indistinguishable from the non-daemon case).
2012-07-11	Rename queryValidPaths() to queryAllValidPaths()	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-11	Implement querySubstitutablePathInfos() in the daemon	Eelco Dolstra
	Also removed querySubstitutablePathInfo().
2012-06-27	nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallel	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-05-29	Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra
	We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full. Since this prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage collection. This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB days. Fixes #27.
2012-04-30	* Add an option ‘build-use-substitutes’, which can be set to ‘false’	Eelco Dolstra
	to disable use of substitutes; i.e., force building from source. Fixes Nix/221.
2011-12-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-12-16	* importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input	Eelco Dolstra
	stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.
2011-12-16	* Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficient	Eelco Dolstra
	(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger chunks. * Some refactoring.
2011-11-06	Include all outputs of derivations in the closure of explicitly-passed ↵	Shea Levy
	derivation paths This required adding a queryOutputDerivationNames function in the store API
2010-12-17	* Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix	Eelco Dolstra
	daemon.
2010-11-17	* Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths	Eelco Dolstra
	will approximately require.
2010-11-17	* Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo().	Eelco Dolstra

2010-08-24	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-08-12	* Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-05-04	* Allow unprivileged users to do `nix-store --clear-failed-paths' and	Eelco Dolstra
	`nix-store --query-failed-paths'.
2010-02-26	* Implement RemoteStore::queryValidPaths().	Eelco Dolstra

2010-02-25	* Implement RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs().	Eelco Dolstra
