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...)
2016-01-28	printMissing(): Propagate store argument	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

2015-05-21	nix-collect-garbage: Call collectGarbage() internally	Eelco Dolstra

2015-05-13	Fix "error: deriver of path ‘’ is not known"	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-25	addToStore(): Take explicit name argument	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-04	Add option to hide display of missing paths	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-18	nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key: Write key to disk	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures proper permissions for the secret key.
2015-02-10	Make libsodium an optional dependency	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2014-12-12	Ensure we're writing to stderr in the builder	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17862041
2014-10-14	nix-store -q: Check for conflicting flags	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #364.
2014-09-01	Add an 'optimiseStore' remote procedure call.	Ludovic Courtès

2014-08-20	Use pager for more commands	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra

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

2014-08-13	Refactor option handling	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Drop --bzip2, --xz, --show-progress	Eelco Dolstra
	These are too difficult to implement via nix-store --serve. ‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a sink/source wrapper class.
2014-07-24	Implement nix-copy-closure --from via nix-store --serve	Eelco Dolstra
