2014-10-03	nix-env: Add regular expression support in selectors	Eelco Dolstra
	So you can now do things like: $ nix-env -qa '.zip.' $ nix-env -qa '.(firefox\|chromium).'
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).
2014-09-19	Remove bogus comment	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-21	Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure child cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Add some color	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	nix-store -l: Automatically pipe output into $PAGER	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Call commonChildInit() before doing chroot init	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that daemon clients see error messages from the chroot setup.
2014-08-01	Eliminate redundant copy	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-07-24	Use pthread_cancel instead of a signal	Eelco Dolstra
	Signal handlers are process-wide, so sending SIGINT to the monitor thread will cause the normal SIGINT handler to run. This sets the isInterrupted flag, which is not what we want. So use pthread_cancel instead.
2014-07-24	Fix bogus pass by reference	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12711659
2014-07-24	More debugging	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Add some assertions	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	nix-daemon: Simplify stderr handling	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-23	nix-daemon: Use a thread instead of SIGPOLL to catch client disconnects	Eelco Dolstra
	The thread calls poll() to wait until a HUP (or other error event) happens on the client connection. If so, it sends SIGINT to the main thread, which is then cleaned up normally. This is much nicer than messing around with SIGPOLL.
2014-07-23	startProcess: Make writing error messages from the child more robust	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-18	Better fix for strcasecmp on Darwin	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-17	Ugly hack to fix building on old Darwin	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12580878
2014-07-16	Get rid of a compiler warning	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-16	Be more strict about file names in NARs	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2014-07-10	Fix broken Pid constructor	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-10	Refactoring: Move all fork handling into a higher-order function	Eelco Dolstra
	C++11 lambdas ftw.
2014-07-10	Remove maybeVfork	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-09	Fix compilation error on some versions of GCC	Eelco Dolstra
	src/libexpr/primops.cc:42:8: error: looser throw specifier for 'virtual nix::InvalidPathError::~InvalidPathError()' src/libexpr/nixexpr.hh:12:1: error: overriding 'virtual nix::EvalError::~EvalError() noexcept (true)' http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12385750
2014-06-12	Don't use member initialisers	Eelco Dolstra
	They're a little bit too recent (only supported since GCC 4.7). http://hydra.nixos.org/build/11851475
2014-06-12	Fix bogus warnings about dumping large paths	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, yay for C++11 non-static initialisers.
2014-06-10	Print a warning when loading a large path into memory	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. if you have a derivation with src = ./huge-directory; you'll get a warning that this is not a good idea.
2014-05-21	nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet	Eelco Dolstra
	If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you have: log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base name of the store path>. So you can do things like: $ nix-store -l $(which xterm) and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.
2014-04-08	If a .drv cannot be parsed, show its path	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise you just get ‘expected string `Derive(['’ which isn't very helpful.
2014-04-03	Tweak error message	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra
	Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-03-12	Remove unnecessary null pointer checks	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #225.
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.

2013-11-25	Rename Makefile.new -> Makefile	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-23	Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix libraries	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with Glibc's libutil. Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).
