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* `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.
2009-03-28* Don't use the non-standard __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf class.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-28* Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use fileEelco Dolstra
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).
2009-03-28* The `fixedOutput' variable didn't get initialised when using a buildEelco Dolstra
hook, causing negative caching to fail randomly.
2009-03-27* Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-26* Don't use ULLONG_MAX in maxFreed - use 0 to mean "no limit".Eelco Dolstra
18446744073709551615ULL breaks on GCC 3.3.6 (`integer constant is too large for "long" type').
2009-03-25* Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled byEelco Dolstra
default. This is mostly useful for Hydra.
2009-03-24* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-24(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-23* No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. InsteadEelco Dolstra
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again). This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't block; it should first see if it can build other goals. Also, it prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately, where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's waiting for a lock held by the first. The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop. The only solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require pthreads.
2009-03-22* Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2009-03-22* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously itEelco Dolstra
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-18* Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and makeEelco Dolstra
sure that it works as expected when you pass it a derivation. That is, we have to make sure that all build-time dependencies are built, and that they are all in the input closure (otherwise remote builds might fail, for example). This is ensured at instantiation time by adding all derivations and their sources to inputDrvs and inputSrcs.
2009-03-18* Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the buildEelco Dolstra
hook. This fixes a problem with log files being partially or completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process truncates the log file. It should also be more efficient.
2009-03-17* Cleanup.Eelco Dolstra
2009-02-27* Allow options from the Nix config file to be overriden from theEelco Dolstra
command line (e.g. "--option build-use-chroot true").
2009-02-16* Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor ofEelco Dolstra
the DerivationGoal runs. Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal, then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes. With --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for Nixpkgs). Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to build it again until the lock is released. * Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely manner for failed top-level derivation goals. So if there were more than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about having run out of build users.
2009-02-02* Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundantEelco Dolstra
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a scan that the remote machine has already done). Also pipe directly into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.
2009-01-27* Make it compile on Debian 4.0 (which doesn't define PER_LINUX32_3GBEelco Dolstra
in sys/personality.h).
2009-01-13* When using a build hook, distinguish between transient failuresEelco Dolstra
(e.g. an SSH connection problem) and permanent failures (i.e. the builder failed). This matters to Hydra (it wants to know whether it makes sense to retry a build).
2009-01-12* Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux NixEelco Dolstra
installations. This is implemented using the personality() syscall, which causes uname to return "i686" in child processes.
