2017-04-13	Convert Settings to the new config system	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-13	Merge branch 'rework-options' of https://github.com/copumpkin/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-31	Merge branch 'remove-perl' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	Store: Add a method for getting build logs	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs from the binary cache. Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for this.
2017-03-01	nix-store --import: Fix importing unsigned paths	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-01	Fix assertion failure in nix-store --export	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1173.
2017-03-01	Handle importing NARs containing files greater than 4 GiB	Eelco Dolstra
	Also templatize readInt() to work for various integer types.
2017-02-22	Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized ones	Dan Peebles
	Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that. Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line, but I'm not doing that yet here.
2017-02-07	Remove perl dependency.	Shea Levy
	Fixes #341
2017-02-07	Remove unnecessary call to topoSortPaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	exportPaths() already does this.
2016-12-07	Add a hook to run diffoscope when non-determinism is detected	Eelco Dolstra

2016-12-07	Keep track of the exact build start/stop times	Eelco Dolstra

2016-12-07	Expose enforce-determinism and the result to Hydra	Eelco Dolstra

2016-12-06	nix-store --serve: Suppress log output on stderr when repeating a build	Eelco Dolstra

2016-12-06	nix-store --serve: Support setting build-repeat	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows Hydra to test whether builds are reproducible.
2016-11-26	Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25	Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)	Guillaume Maudoux

2016-11-10	Store::computeFSClosure(): Support a set of paths	Eelco Dolstra
	This way, callers can exploits the parallelism of computeFSClosure() when they have multiple paths that they need the (combined) closure of.
2016-09-21	printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.	Eelco Dolstra

2016-08-10	Add a "root" parameter to local stores	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes it easier to create a diverted store, i.e. NIX_REMOTE="local?root=/tmp/root" instead of NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/root/nix/store&state=/tmp/root/nix/var/nix" NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/root/nix/var/log
2016-07-26	makeFixedOutputPath(): Drop superfluous HashType argument	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-02	Allow setting the state directory as a store parameter	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".
2016-06-01	Make the store directory a member variable of Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-31	nix-copy-closure / build-remote.pl: Disable signature checking	Eelco Dolstra
	This restores the Nix 1.11 behaviour.
2016-05-04	Cleanup: Remove singleton()	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-04	Do compression in a sink	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-04	Add a Store::addToStore() variant that accepts a NAR	Eelco Dolstra
	As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when copying paths between stores. Also refactored import/export to make use of this.
2016-05-04	Remove OpenSSL-based signing	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-29	nix-store -l: Simplify implementation	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-19	Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store	Eelco Dolstra
	Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s. This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and Store::queryReferences().
2016-04-08	Remove failed build caching	Eelco Dolstra
	This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.
2016-03-22	Don't overload dumpPath()	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-21	Add Store::dumpPath() method	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores: NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --verify-path /nix/store/s5c7...
2016-02-26	importPaths(): Optionally add NARs to binary cache accessor	Eelco Dolstra
	This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a download of a NAR it just uploaded to the cache when reading files like hydra-build-products.
2016-02-24	Eliminate reserveSpace flag	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-16	Rename ValidPathInfo::hash -> narHash for consistency	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-11	Move addPermRoot into Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-04	More of the same	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-04	StoreAPI -> Store	Eelco Dolstra
	Calling a class an API is a bit redundant...
2016-02-04	Eliminate the "store" global variable	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2016-01-31	Add build mode to compute fixed-output derivation hashes	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, $ nix-build --hash -A nix-repl.src will build the fixed-output derivation nix-repl.src (a fetchFromGitHub call), but instead of verifying the hash given in the Nix expression, it prints out the resulting hash, and then moves the result to its content-addressed location in the Nix store. E.g build produced path ‘/nix/store/504a4k6zi69dq0yjc0bm12pa65bccxam-nix-repl-8a2f5f0607540ffe56b56d52db544373e1efb980-src’ with sha256 hash ‘0cjablz01i0g9smnavhf86imwx1f9mnh5flax75i615ml71gsr88’ The goal of this is to make all nix-prefetch-* scripts unnecessary: we can just let Nix run the real thing (i.e., the corresponding fetch* derivation). Another example: $ nix-build --hash -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchgit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git"; sha256 = "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"; }' ... git revision is 9e7c1a4bbdbe6129dd9dc385776612c307d3d1bb ... build produced path ‘/nix/store/gmsnh9i7x4mb7pyd2ns7n3c9l90jfsi1-nix’ with sha256 hash ‘1188xb621diw89n25rifqg9lxnzpz7nj5bfh4i1y3dnis0dmc0zp’ (Having to specify a fake sha256 hash is a bit annoying...)

2015-10-29	int2String() -> std::to_string()	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-06	nix-store --serve: Implement log size limit	Eelco Dolstra

2015-07-23	--version: Print some config info	Eelco Dolstra
	Such as whether Nix is built with signed binary cache support, and the location of the configuration file.
2015-07-20	More cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2015-07-17	OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for	Eelco Dolstra

2015-07-17	Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure	Eelco Dolstra
	Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts). So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation (BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation (drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this interface. Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env -i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk). Fixes #173.
2015-06-02	Use StoreAPI::verifyStore()	Eelco Dolstra
