2010-03-29(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-28* Strings.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-28(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-28* Implemented multi-argument primops.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-26* Primops (not yet finished).Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-26* Implemented the `==' and `!=' operators. These now use a deepEelco Dolstra
equality test, so they also work for (finite) attribute sets and lists.
2010-03-25* Measure stack usage.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-25* Implemented lists.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-25* Quick and dirty implementation of `with'. `with e1; e2' isEelco Dolstra
basically desugared to `let <with> = e1; e2', and `lookupVar' looks in each <with> in the environment chain for an attribute with the specified name.
2010-03-25* Don't convert variable names to strings.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-25* Implement blackholing.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-25* Implement `...' and default function arguments.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-25* Simplify @-patterns: only `{attrs}@name' or `name@{attrs}' are nowEelco Dolstra
allowed. So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no longer legal. This is no big loss because they were not useful anyway. This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns slightly.
2010-03-24* Implemented attribute set pattern matches.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-24* Store values in environments.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-24* Reduce the number of value allocations in eval() by movingEelco Dolstra
responsibility for allocation of the result to the caller.
2010-03-24* Plain lambdas.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-23(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-23* Start of an evaluator that uses call-by-need (with thunk updating)Eelco Dolstra
instead of (memoised) call-by-name.
2010-03-19* Clean up error messages in killUser().Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-16* Fix building on Cygwin (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/325071).Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-14Merge r20344 & r20346.Nicolas Pierron
2010-03-11Uh. somehow a Makefile tab got in as spaces. Fixing.Lluís Batlle i Rossell
2010-03-11Making 'bin2c' to be built with the compiler for the local system.Lluís Batlle i Rossell
I copied the configure.ac code about CC_FOR_BUILD from libX11.
2010-03-11Show the build user's group in /etc/group in chroots.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Create /etc/group showing the build user's group.
2010-03-11Fix thinko in r20547.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Fix the GID of the build user in /etc/passwd.
2010-03-11Clear supplementary groups of `nixbld' in /etc/passwd in chroots.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libstore/build.cc (nix::DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Don't display any supplementary groups for `nixbld' in /etc/passwd.
2010-02-24* Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.Eelco Dolstra
* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-10Don't rely on `PATH_MAX' on GNU.Ludovic Courtès
2010-02-03* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor buildEelco Dolstra
hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.Eelco Dolstra
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the Hydra build farm.
2010-02-02* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisoryEelco Dolstra
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin 1.5 anymore.
2010-02-02* If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync().Eelco Dolstra
2010-01-29* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but isEelco Dolstra
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes (especially on ext4).
2010-01-25* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there areEelco Dolstra
multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n + m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the closure).
2010-01-25* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'Eelco Dolstra
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-12* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that NixEelco Dolstra
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is set to "ignore".
2009-12-17* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it definesEelco Dolstra
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs: $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds File: `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds' Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix to fail.)
2009-12-16* Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'Eelco Dolstra
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-09* Give a better error message when trying to build something andEelco Dolstra
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-11-24* Grrr.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-24* GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macroEelco Dolstra
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340).
2009-11-24* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-24* In the garbage collector, don't count files with a link count > 1 inEelco Dolstra
the "bytes/blocks freed" statistics.
2009-11-24* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collectorEelco Dolstra
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first (e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-23(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-23* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbageEelco Dolstra
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-23* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actualEelco Dolstra
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes theEelco Dolstra
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately.
