| 2006-09-04 | * Use a proper namespace. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++. | |||
| 2006-09-04 | * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-15 | On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world | Martin Bravenboer | |
| writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled on Cygwin. | |||
| 2006-08-11 | * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store | Eelco Dolstra | |
| objects that would be freed. | |||
| 2006-08-11 | * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder are | Eelco Dolstra | |
| valid. | |||
| 2006-08-01 | * Show some progress. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-07-20 | * Use $(libexecdir) to find find-runtime-roots.pl. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-07-20 | * Use debug(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-07-20 | * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent | Eelco Dolstra | |
| running applications etc. from being garbage collected. | |||
| 2006-07-06 | * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Nix config file. | |||
| 2006-06-20 | * Concurrent GC on Cygwin. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-06-19 | * Oops. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-06-19 | * _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-06-19 | * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock | Eelco Dolstra | |
| files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary. | |||
| 2006-06-16 | * Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-06-15 | * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between | Eelco Dolstra | |
| concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7. | |||
| 2006-06-01 | * Minor cleanup. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-31 | * For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listed | Eelco Dolstra | |
| in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the builder. | |||
| 2006-05-30 | * Not all platforms have sys/select.h. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-29 | * Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-24 | * Some Cygwin fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-12 | * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-11 | * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully. | |||
| 2006-05-02 | * Removed a bunch of ATreverses. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-10 | * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink | Eelco Dolstra | |
| components. | |||
| 2006-03-06 | * `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths | Eelco Dolstra | |
| will be built or substituted. | |||
| 2006-03-01 | * db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-01 | * Close the database before the destructor runs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-01 | * Wrong delete. Thanks valgrind. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-01 | * Remove dead code. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-16 | * Allow the size of the GC reserved file to be specified in nix.conf | Eelco Dolstra | |
| through the new `gc-reserved-space' option. | |||
| 2006-02-16 | * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when | Eelco Dolstra | |
| the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space). Under normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB. When running the garbage collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB environment. | |||
| 2006-02-03 | * Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only | Eelco Dolstra | |
| creates a new process group but also a new session. New sessions have no controlling tty, so child processes like ssh cannot open /dev/tty (which is bad). | |||
| 2006-02-02 | * When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as | Eelco Dolstra | |
| intended). This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote machine also exits. Without this, the remote Nix process will continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it locks up. (Partially fixes NIX-35.) | |||
| 2005-12-25 | * More GCC 2.95 compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-25 | * Hack around a GCC 2.95 bug. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-24 | * GCC 2.95 compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-23 | * Added a flag `--ignore-liveness' to `nix-store --delete'. It | Eelco Dolstra | |
| deletes a path even if it is reachable from a root. However, it won't delete a path that still has referrers (since that would violate store invariants). Don't try this at home. It's a useful hack for recovering from certain situations in a somewhat clean way (e.g., holes in closures due to disk corruption). | |||
| 2005-12-23 | * Revived the old "nix-store --delete" operation that deletes the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| specified paths from the Nix store. However, this operation is safe: it refuses to delete anything that the garbage collector wouldn't delete. | |||
| 2005-12-15 | * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdout | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (even when it is interrupted by a signal). | |||
| 2005-12-15 | * Split the database upgrade into multiple transactions to prevent | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Berkeley DB from running out of locks. | |||
| 2005-12-13 | * Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility). | |||
| 2005-12-12 | * Automatically delete the old referers table. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-12 | * Fix NIX-23: quadratic complexity in maintaining the referers | Eelco Dolstra | |
| mapping. The referer table is replaced by a referrer table (note spelling fix) that stores each referrer separately. That is, instead of having referer[P] = {Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, ...} we store referer[(P, Q_1)] = "" referer[(P, Q_2)] = "" referer[(P, Q_3)] = "" ... To find the referrers of P, we enumerate over the keys with a value lexicographically greater than P. This requires the referrer table to be stored as a B-Tree rather than a hash table. (The tuples (P, Q) are stored as P + null-byte + Q.) Old Nix databases are upgraded automatically to the new schema. | |||
| 2005-12-09 | * Use Berkeley DB 4.4's process registry feature to recover from | Eelco Dolstra | |
| crashed Nix instances, and toss out our own recovery code. | |||
| 2005-12-06 | * Require Berkeley DB 4.4. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Checkpoint after an upgrade. | |||
| 2005-11-16 | * Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is now | Eelco Dolstra | |
| much faster. | |||
| 2005-10-29 | * Repair the referers table from the references table. | Rob Vermaas | |
| 2005-10-20 | * Prevent uids from being used for more than one build | Eelco Dolstra | |
| simultaneously. We do this using exclusive locks on uid files in /nix/var/nix/userpool, e.g., /nix/var/nix/userpool/123 for uid 123. | |||
| 2005-10-19 | * Oops. Fixed-output derivations were broken. | Eelco Dolstra | |
