2010-02-18* Implement isValidPath().Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-18* Automatically abort transactions if they go out of scope withoutEelco Dolstra
committing.
2010-02-18* Some wrapper objects to ensure that SQLite objects are properlyEelco Dolstra
destroyed.
2010-02-18* Add the deriver to the ValidPaths table. In principle we could nowEelco Dolstra
store all the derivers of a path efficiently. But that opens a big can of worms with respect to garbage collector semantics.
2010-02-18* Assign an integer id to every row in the ValidPaths table in orderEelco Dolstra
to make the Refs table more space-efficient. For instance, this reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18 MiB. (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1 KiB block size.)
2010-02-18* Convert the Nix database to SQLite.Eelco Dolstra
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.
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
