2017-03-06	Revert fa125b9b28bea25a4eeb4d39a71a481563127cb9	Eelco Dolstra
	This causes quadratic performance.
2017-03-01	TeeSink: Pre-reserve string space	Eelco Dolstra
	When receiving a very large file, this can prevent the string from having tobe copied, which temporarily doubles memory consumption.
2016-02-25	Add NAR / Store accessor abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like "nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.
2016-02-24	BinaryCacheStore: Implement addToStore()	Eelco Dolstra
	So now you can do $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello and lots of other operations.
2014-07-16	Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems	Eelco Dolstra
	When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names that differ only in case, then importing will fail. The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to "xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR, the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the original file names back. Closes #119.
2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra

2010-05-04	* Revert r15436. This was a workaround for a bug in btrfs which seems	Eelco Dolstra
	to have been fixed now.
2009-05-04	Add an ftruncate call paired with fallocate to play safe with some FSes ↵	Michael Raskin
	(namely, BtrFS fallocate sets file size to allocated size, i.e. multiple of block size)
2009-03-22	* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it	Eelco 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.
2008-12-03	* A simple API for parsing NAR archives.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra
	from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12	* In dumpPath(): pass a function object that allows files to be	Eelco Dolstra
	selectively in/excluded from the dump.
2006-11-30	* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2005-03-03	* Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-18	* Source tree refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra
