2017-04-24	Remove debug statement	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	Detect lsof	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, don't use lsof on Linux since it's not needed. Fixes #1328.
2017-04-20	Improve nix show-config --json	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, show descriptions. This could be used for manpage generation etc.
2017-04-20	Setting: Remove "Tag" template argument	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	Read per-user settings from ~/.config/nix/nix.conf	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	binary-caches-parallel-connections -> http-connections	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	Reimplement trusted-substituters (aka trusted-binary-caches)	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-19	Reimplement connect-timeout	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1339.
2017-04-14	Shut up some warnings	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-14	Doh	Eelco Dolstra

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	Merge pull request #1316 from copumpkin/nix-retries-default	Eelco Dolstra
	Default to 5 download retries
2017-04-10	Add CURLE_WRITE_ERROR as a transient error condition	Dan Peebles
	We've observed it failing downloads in the wild and retrying the same URL a few moments later seemed to fix it.
2017-04-10	Default to 5 download retries	Dan Peebles
	This should help certain downloaders that don't request anything special for the number of retries, like nix-channel.
2017-04-10	Minor cleanup	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, possible fix for #1310 on 32-bit systems.
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	Retry downloads on transient SSL errors too	Dan Peebles

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.
2017-04-06	Add a method to allow hydra-queue-runner to flush the path info cache	Eelco Dolstra

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).
2017-04-04	Allow default sandbox paths to be overriden	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. you can now redirect /etc/resolv.conf to a different file.
2017-04-04	Make /var/run/nscd/socket optional	Eelco Dolstra
	Not every distribution uses nscd.
2017-03-31	Sandbox: Fix /dev/ptmx on recent kernels	Eelco Dolstra
	This fixes "No such file or directory" when opening /dev/ptmx (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/51094249). The reason appears to be some changes to /dev/ptmx / /dev/pts handling between Linux 4.4 and 4.9. See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7832531/. The fix is to go back to mounting a proper /dev/pts instance inside the sandbox. Happily, this now works inside user namespaces, even for unprivileged users. So NIX_REMOTE=local?root=/tmp/nix nix-build \ '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test works for non-root users. The downside is that the fix breaks sandbox builds on older kernels (probably pre-4.6), since mounting a devpts fails inside user namespaces for some reason I've never been able to figure out. Builds on those systems will fail with error: while setting up the build environment: mounting /dev/pts: Invalid argument Ah well.
2017-03-31	Merge branch 'builtins.exec'	Shea Levy

2017-03-31	Retry curl error 16	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-30	Add exec primop behind allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation.	Shea Levy
	Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be evaluated. There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to: * Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision * git rev-parse HEAD * Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like cabal or npm * Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops) * Private repository fetching Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these tasks done. The primop is only available when the 'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin against the running version of nix).
2017-03-28	Ignore broken "Deriver: unknown-deriver" fields in .narinfo	Eelco Dolstra
	These were generated by a legacy tool.
2017-03-21	LocalFSStore::getBuildLog(): Handle corrupted logs	Eelco Dolstra

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	Require signatures by default	Eelco Dolstra
	This corresponds to the NixOS default.
2017-03-21	Restore cache.nixos.org as the default substituter	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1283.
2017-03-21	Move istringstream_nocopy to a separate file	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-21	Honor $NIX_SSHOPTS again	Eelco Dolstra
	NixOps needs this.
2017-03-20	Merge branch 'darwin-s3-binary-cache-store' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	ssh:// -> ssh-ng://, legacy-ssh:// -> ssh://	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2017-03-16	LegacySSHStore: Provide a faster implementation of computeFSClosure()	Eelco Dolstra
	This avoids the latency of the standard implementation, which can make a huge difference (e.g. 16.5s -> 0.5s on a NixOS system closure).
2017-03-16	Fix nix-copy-closure --to	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	Remove "killing process <pid>" messages	Eelco Dolstra
	They convey no useful information.
2017-03-15	More precise compression settings	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	runProgram(): Distinguish between empty input and no input	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, if we call brotli with an empty input, it shouldn't read from the caller's stdin.
2017-03-15	Compress NAR listings using the "text-compression" method	Eelco Dolstra
	So if "text-compression=br", the .ls file in S3 will get a Content-Encoding of "br". Brotli appears to compress better than xz for this kind of file and is natively supported by browsers.
2017-03-15	S3BinaryCacheStore: Set Content-Type	Eelco Dolstra
	This is necessary for serving log files to browsers.
2017-03-15	S3BinaryCacheStore: Support compression of narinfo and log files	Eelco Dolstra
	You can now set the store parameter "text-compression=br" to compress textual files in the binary cache (i.e. narinfo and logs) using Brotli. This sets the Content-Encoding header; the extension of compressed files is unchanged. You can separately specify the compression of log files using "log-compression=br". This is useful when you don't want to compress narinfo files for backward compatibility.
2017-03-15	Add support for brotli compression	Eelco Dolstra
	Build logs on cache.nixos.org are compressed using Brotli (since this allows them to be decompressed automatically by Chrome and Firefox), so it's handy if "nix log" can decompress them.
2017-03-15	BinaryCacheStore: Implement getBuildLog()	Eelco Dolstra
	We assume that build logs are stored under log/<drv>, e.g. /nix/store/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv maps to https://cache.nixos.org/log/q7ab198v13p0f8x8wgnd75dva7d5mip6-friday-devil-0.1.1.1.drv
2017-03-15	Store: Add a method for getting build logs	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs from the binary cache. Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for this.
