Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2016-04-25	Improved logging abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-04-20	Cache path info lookups in SQLite	Eelco Dolstra
	This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.
2016-03-29	Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is now thread-local. Thus, all threads will (eventually) throw Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.
2016-03-29	Add "nix verify-paths" command	Eelco Dolstra
	Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in addition to store path contents, is multi-threaded (especially useful when verifying binary caches), and has a progress indicator. Example use: $ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird) ... [17/132 checked] checking ‘/nix/store/rawakphadqrqxr6zri2rmnxh03gqkrl3-autogen-5.18.6’
2016-02-28	Fix reading symlinks	Eelco Dolstra
	The st_size field of a symlink doesn't have to be correct, e.g. for /dev/fd symlinks.
2016-02-24	deletePath(): Succeed if path doesn't exist	Eelco Dolstra
	Also makes it robust against concurrent deletions.
2016-01-27	Trivia	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-05	Fix compilation	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-05	Merge pull request #685 from vizanto/master	Eelco Dolstra
	POSIX compliant directory access (fixes build on Solaris)
2015-11-25	Use DT_UNKNOWN when dirent d_type extension is not supported.	Danny Wilson
	edolstra: “…since callers of readDirectory have to handle the possibility of DT_UNKNOWN anyway, and we don't want to do a stat call for every directory entry unless it's really needed.”
2015-11-16	Default arguments belong at declaration, not definition	Shea Levy

2015-11-16	AutoDelete: Add default constructor with deletion disabled	Shea Levy

2015-11-07	Fix build on Solaris	Danny Wilson
	d_type is not part of the POSIX spec unfortunately.
2015-10-29	int2String() -> std::to_string()	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-21	revert libutil change	Jude Taylor

2015-10-21	make sandbox builds more permissive	Jude Taylor

2015-08-07	baseNameOf: Enhance `basename` compatibility	Kirill Elagin
	* If the path ends with a slash, drop it. * If the remaining path doesn’t contain slashes, just return it. Fixes #574.
2015-07-20	Support systemd log severity prefixes	Eelco Dolstra
	This is mostly useful for hydra-queue-runner.
2015-07-17	OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for	Eelco Dolstra

2015-06-17	Support URLs in $NIX_PATH	Eelco Dolstra
	This didn't work (despite claims in the manual), because the colon in "http://" was parsed as a element separator. So handle "://" specially.
2015-06-09	Use std::vector::data()	Eelco Dolstra

2015-05-13	cygwin: looks like stdout/stdin are reserved words	Rok Garbas

2015-04-09	Implement caching of fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra
	ETags are used to prevent redownloading unchanged files.
2015-02-10	Add base64 encoder/decoder	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-04	Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing	Eelco Dolstra
	Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’. The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and prints a public and secret key.
2015-01-02	libutil: Limit readLink() error to only overflows.	aszlig
	Let's not just improve the error message itself, but also the behaviour to actually work around the ntfs-3g symlink bug. If the readlink() call returns a smaller size than the stat() call, this really isn't a problem even if the symlink target really has changed between the calls. So if stat() reports the size for the absolute path, it's most likely that the relative path is smaller and thus it should also work for file system bugs as mentioned in 93002d69fc58c2b71e2dfad202139230c630c53a.

2015-01-02	libutil: Improve errmsg on readLink size mismatch.	aszlig
	A message like "error: reading symbolic link `...' : Success" really is quite confusing, so let's not indicate "success" but rather point out the real issue. We could also limit the check of this to just check for non-negative values, but this would introduce a race condition between stat() and readlink() if the link target changes between those two calls, thus leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Reported by @Ericson2314 on IRC. Happened due to a possible ntfs-3g bug where a relative symlink returned the absolute path (st_)size in stat() while readlink() returned the relative size.

2014-12-10	Revert "Use posix_spawn to run the pager"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit d34d2b2bbf784c0bb420a50905af25e02c6e4989.
2014-12-05	Use posix_spawn to run the pager	Eelco Dolstra
	In low memory environments, "nix-env -qa" failed because the fork to run the pager hit the kernel's overcommit limits. Using posix_spawn gets around this. (Actually, you have to use posix_spawn with the undocumented POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag, otherwise it just uses fork/exec...)
2014-11-19	nix-daemon: Call exit(), not _exit()	Eelco Dolstra
	This was preventing destructors from running. In particular, it was preventing the deletion of the temproot file for each worker process. It may also have been responsible for the excessive WAL growth on Hydra (due to the SQLite database not being closed properly). Apparently broken by accident in 8e9140cfdef9dbd1eb61e4c75c91d452ab5e4a74.
2014-10-03	Remove some duplicate code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-10-03	createDirs(): Handle ‘path’ being a symlink	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this fixes "nix-build -o /tmp/result" on Mac OS X (where /tmp is a symlink).
