2014-09-01	Add an 'optimiseStore' remote procedure call.	Ludovic Courtès

2014-08-28	Add disallowedReferences / disallowedRequisites	Eelco Dolstra
	For the "stdenv accidentally referring to bootstrap-tools", it seems easier to specify the path that we don't want to depend on, e.g. disallowedRequisites = [ bootstrapTools ];
2014-08-28	Introduce allowedRequisites feature	Gergely Risko

2014-08-21	fix disappearing bash arguments	Joel Taylor

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

2014-08-21	Use unshare() instead of clone()	Eelco Dolstra
	It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the build farm: The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this (in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that. Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up private namespaces. See also https://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org/msg03434.html.
2014-08-21	Fix a segfault in ‘nix-env -qa’	Eelco Dolstra
	This was triggered by 47e185847e729d49e6aa376e8299fd66ef834a0a, which turned globals.state into a pointer.
2014-08-20	Flush std::cout before closing stdout	Eelco Dolstra

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

2014-08-20	Provide reasonable default flags for $LESS	Eelco Dolstra
	Borrowed from systemd.

2014-08-20	Add some color	Eelco Dolstra

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

2014-08-20	Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderr	Eelco Dolstra
	The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole) ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit of the latter, filter them out.
2014-08-19	Make hook shutdown more reliable	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	nix-log2xml: Handle newlines	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	Remove log2html.xsl and friends	Eelco Dolstra
	It's part of Hydra now.
2014-08-13	nix-log2xml: Handle UTF-8 characters	Eelco Dolstra
	C++ chars can be negative...
2014-08-13	Use regular file GC roots if possible	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes hydra-eval-jobs create roots as regular files. See 1c208f2b7ef8ffb5e6d435d703dad83223a67bd6.
2014-08-13	Handle compound single dash options properly	Eelco Dolstra
	So now nix-instantiate --eval -E '{x}: x' --argstr x -xyzzy correctly prints "-xyzzy", rather than giving an error. Issue NixOS/hydra#176.
2014-08-13	Refactor option handling	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Move some options out of globals	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Refactor	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Add option ‘build-extra-chroot-dirs’	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for extending (rather than overriding) the default set of chroot paths.
2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Make chroot builds easier to set up	Eelco Dolstra
	By default, we now include /bin/sh as a bind-mount of bash.
2014-08-01	Remove ugly hack for detecting build environment setup errors	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	findRoots(): Prevent a call to lstat()	Eelco Dolstra
	This means that getting the roots from /nix/var/nix/.../hydra-roots doesn't need any I/O other than reading the directory.
2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Allow regular files as GC roots	Eelco Dolstra
	If a root is a regular file, then its name must denote a store path. For instance, the existence of the file /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/eelco/hydra-roots/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 would cause /nix/store/wzc3cy1wwwd6d0dgxpa77ijr1yp50s6v-libxml2-2.7.7 to be a root. This is useful because it involves less I/O (no need for a readlink() call) and takes up less disk space (the symlink target typically takes up a full disk block, while directory entries are packed more efficiently). This is particularly important for hydra.nixos.org, which has hundreds of thousands of roots, and where reading the roots can take 25 minutes.
2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-07-30	Rename nixPath to __nixPath	Eelco Dolstra
	The name ‘nixPath’ breaks existing code.
2014-07-25	nix-daemon: Pass on the user's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the SSH substituter	Eelco Dolstra
