2010-10-04* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,Eelco Dolstra
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-08-12* Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.Eelco Dolstra
2010-06-24Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.Peter Simons
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution, because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global namespace.
2010-06-23Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build ↵Peter Simons
expressions. This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils. The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-06-14* In importPath() and exportPath(), lock the temporary directory toEelco Dolstra
prevent it from being deleted by the garbage collector.
2010-06-04* Applied a patch from David Brown to prevent `nix-store --optimise'Eelco Dolstra
from failing on rename() on BtrFS.
2010-06-01* Turn build errors during evaluation into EvalErrors.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-21* Don't use an ostringstream in unparseDerivation(), because it'sEelco Dolstra
slow. A `nix-env -qa --drv-path \*' on Nixpkgs was spending 40% of its time in unparseDerivation() because of this (now 11%).
2010-04-19* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-19* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-11Show the build user's group in /etc/group in chroots.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Create /etc/group showing the build user's group.
2010-03-11Fix thinko in r20547.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Fix the GID of the build user in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-11Clear supplementary groups of `nixbld' in /etc/passwd in chroots.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Don't display any supplementary groups for `nixbld' in /etc/passwd.
2010-02-24* Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.Eelco Dolstra
* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-03* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor buildEelco Dolstra
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.Eelco Dolstra
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-02-02* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisoryEelco Dolstra
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-01-29* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but isEelco Dolstra
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there areEelco Dolstra
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'Eelco Dolstra
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2009-12-17* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it definesEelco Dolstra
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16* Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'Eelco Dolstra
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-09* Give a better error message when trying to build something andEelco Dolstra
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collectorEelco Dolstra
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-23* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actualEelco Dolstra
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes theEelco Dolstra
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
2009-11-20* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-11-06* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra
2009-10-22* When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linkingEelco Dolstra
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise', because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22* Remove a prototype for a function that no longer exists.Eelco Dolstra
2009-10-08Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg
manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-09-24* And some more.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-24* Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23* Darwin hack.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23* Create some state directories automatically as a convenience.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23 * include wait.h for WEXITSTATUSRob Vermaas
2009-06-13* Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01Eelco Dolstra
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file, so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008 fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be patched because it's closed source. This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar warnings.
2009-04-21* Use foreach in a lot of places.Eelco Dolstra
2009-04-21* nix-store --verify: don't bail out if a referenced path is missing.Eelco Dolstra
(It can't fix it though.)
2009-04-16* Fix a few "comparison is always false/true due to limited range ofEelco Dolstra
data type" warnings on 64-bit platforms. The one in parser.y is likely to be a real bug.
2009-04-15* Don't cache transient build hook problems.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-31* Do a substitution even if --max-jobs == 0.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-31* Doh!Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-30(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-30* Make the poll interval configurable.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-29* With `--max-jobs 0', print a nicer error message than "AssertionEelco Dolstra
`!awake.empty()' failed."
2009-03-29* Use polling to wait for a remote build slot when using a build hookEelco Dolstra
(that is, call the build hook with a certain interval until it accepts the build). * build-remote.pl was totally broken: for all system types other than the local system type, it would send all builds to the *first* machine of the appropriate type.
2009-03-28* Scan for references and compute the SHA-256 hash of the output inEelco Dolstra
one pass. This halves the amount of I/O.
