2017-10-24	Remove the builder-files option	Eelco Dolstra
	You can now include files via the "builders" option, using the syntax "@<filename>". Having only one option makes it easier to override builders completely. For backward compatibility, the default is "@/etc/nix/machines", or "@<filename>" for each file name in NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS.
2017-10-23	Pass all settings to build-remote	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that command line flags such as --builders get passed correctly.
2017-10-23	Turn $NIX_REMOTE into a configuration option	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-20	Merge pull request #1616 from copumpkin/separate-darwin-sandbox	Eelco Dolstra
	Shift Darwin sandbox to separate installed files
2017-10-19	Revert "Let's not populate the NAR cache from hydra-queue-runner for now"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 908590dc6cfcca3a98755b194d93b2da39aee95c. Since hydra-server can have a different store URI from hydra-queue-runner now, we don't really need this.
2017-10-18	Let's not populate the NAR cache from hydra-queue-runner for now	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-18	Errors writing to the NAR cache should not be fatal	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-18	Suppress "copying 0 paths" message	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-17	Shift Darwin sandbox to separate installed files	Dan Peebles
	This makes it slightly more manageable to see at a glance what in a build's sandbox profile is unique to the build and what is standard. Also a first step to factoring more of our Darwin logic into scheme functions that will allow us a bit more flexibility. And of course less of that nasty codegen in C++! 😀
2017-10-17	BinaryCacheStore::addToStore(): Add NARs to the local cache	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-17	BinaryCacheStore: Support local caching of NARs	Eelco Dolstra
	This speeds up commands like "nix cat-store". For example: $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf real 0m4.336s $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf real 0m0.045s The primary motivation is to allow hydra-server to serve files from S3 binary caches. Previously Hydra had a hack to do "nix-store -r <path>", but that fetches the entire closure so is prohibitively expensive. There is no garbage collection of the NAR cache yet. Also, the entire NAR is read when accessing a single member file. We could generate the NAR listing to provide random access. Note: the NAR cache is indexed by the store path hash, not the content hash, so NAR caches should not be shared between binary caches, unless you're sure that all your builds are binary-reproducible.
2017-10-17	Remove BinaryCacheStoreAccessor	Eelco Dolstra
	Probably as a result of a bad merge in 4b8f1b0ec066a5b994747b1afd050f5f62d857f6, we had both a BinaryCacheStoreAccessor and a RemoteFSAccessor. BinaryCacheStore::getFSAccessor() returned the latter, but BinaryCacheStore::addToStore() checked for the former. This probably caused hydra-queue-runner to download paths that it just uploaded.
2017-10-12	Add option to disable the seccomp filter	Eelco Dolstra
	I needed this to test ACL/xattr removal in canonicalisePathMetaData(). Might also be useful if you need to build old Nixpkgs that doesn't have the required patches to remove setuid/setgid creation.
2017-10-02	Reverse retry logic to retry in all but a few cases	Dan Peebles
	It was getting too much like whac-a-mole listing all the retriable error conditions, so we now retry by default and list the cases where retrying is almost certainly hopeless.
2017-09-18	Don't remove Content-Encoding in fetchurl / nix-prefetch-url	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1568.
2017-09-14	RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the pool	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is restarted. It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.
2017-09-14	Show the pid of temporary roots	Eelco Dolstra

2017-09-14	nix-store -q --roots / --gc --print-roots: Print temporary / in-memory roots	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, $ nix-store -q --roots /nix/store/7phd2sav7068nivgvmj2vpm3v47fd27l-patchelf-0.8pre845_0315148 {temp:1} denotes that the path is only being kept alive by a temporary root (i.e. /nix/var/nix/temproots/). Similarly, $ nix-store --gc --print-roots ... {memory:9} -> /nix/store/094gpjn9f15ip17wzxhma4r51nvsj17p-curl-7.53.1 shows that curl is being used by some process.
2017-09-08	LegacySSHStore: Include signatures etc.	Eelco Dolstra

2017-09-08	copyStorePath(): Fill in missing narHash regardless of checkSigs	Eelco Dolstra
	I don't remember what the reasoning was here, but security is provided by the signatures, not by whether the hash is provided by the other store.
2017-09-08	Communicate the structured log FD to builders	Eelco Dolstra
	Since we may use a dedicated file descriptor in the future, this allows us to change it. So builders can do if [[ -n $NIX_LOG_FD ]]; then echo "@nix { message... }" >&$NIX_LOG_FD fi
2017-09-06	Fix abort when the GC thread gets an exception	Eelco Dolstra

2017-09-05	Add automatic garbage collection	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>" specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete garbage until "max-free" bytes are available. Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution. Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage -d").
2017-09-05	GC: Don't delete own temproots file	Eelco Dolstra
	Since file locks are per-process rather than per-file-descriptor, the garbage collector would always acquire a lock on its own temproots file and conclude that it's stale.
2017-09-01	Abort curl downloads if there is no progress for 5 minutes	Eelco Dolstra
	Maybe this will fix the curl hangs on macOS. (We could also use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT but that seems more of a sledgehammer.)
2017-08-31	Call queryMissing() prior to building	Eelco Dolstra
	Without this, substitute info is fetched sequentially, which is superslow. In the old UI (e.g. nix-build), we call printMissing(), which calls queryMissing(), thereby preheating the binary cache cache. But the new UI doesn't do that.
2017-08-31	Add an activity for binary cache queries	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-31	Rename a few configuration options	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
2017-08-28	Give activities a verbosity level again	Eelco Dolstra
	And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v flags.
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.
2017-08-25	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Allow derivations to update the build phase	Eelco Dolstra
	So the progress bar can show [1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
2017-08-25	Allow activities to be nested	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X") to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").
2017-08-25	Restore activity metadata	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".
2017-08-21	Clean up JSON construction	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-21	Allow builders to create activities	Eelco Dolstra
	Actually, currently they can only create download activities. Thus, downloads by builtins.fetchurl show up in the progress bar.
2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Show how much space has been freed	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Add	Eelco Dolstra
	This replaces "nix-store --optimise". Main difference is that it has a progress indicator.
2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: More improvements	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Show number of active items	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Unify "copying" and "substituting"	Eelco Dolstra
	They're the same thing after all. Example: $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	Improve substitution progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	It now shows the amount of data copied: [8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Revive progress bar	Eelco Dolstra
