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* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too muchEelco Dolstra
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case, compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.
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'".
2009-12-10* Build on Fedora 12.Eelco Dolstra
2009-12-09* Release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2009-12-09* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the sameEelco Dolstra
URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09* nix-build: be less verbose.Eelco Dolstra
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.
2009-11-23* Don't create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/{tmp,channels}, since they don'tEelco Dolstra
seem to be used anymore.
2009-11-20* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-11-17* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the callingEelco Dolstra
Nix though.
2009-11-13* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if itEelco Dolstra
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente.
2009-11-06* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-05* Version bump.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-05(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-05* Build on Karmic.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-05* The Nix .deb package depends on curl.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-05* Various updates.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-04* Manual updates.Eelco Dolstra
2009-10-22* When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linkingEelco Dolstra
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise', because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22* Remove a prototype for a function that no longer exists.Eelco Dolstra
2009-10-22* builtins.trace: in the common case that the value is a string, thenEelco Dolstra
show the string, not the ATerm, so we get `trace: bla' instead of `trace: Str("bla",[])'.
2009-10-21* Added a primop unsafeDiscardOutputDependency needed by Disnix toEelco Dolstra
pass derivation paths to a builder without actually building them.
2009-10-13* Give a useful error message when an evaluation error occurs whileEelco Dolstra
trying to upgrade a package.
2009-10-08Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg
manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-10-06configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file ↵Peter Simons
size support Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e. Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the functionality in case of problems.
2009-09-30* Support platforms that don't have O_ASYNC (e.g. OpenSolarisEelco Dolstra
apparently).
2009-09-30* OpenSolaris compatibility.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-25(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-24* And some more.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-24* Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-24(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23* tryEval shouldn't catch all exceptions of type Error, since not allEelco Dolstra
of them leave the evaluator in a continuable state. Also, it should be less chatty.
2009-09-23* Don't build against BDB on Cygwin, it's been broken for unknownEelco Dolstra
reasons for a while (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/79164).
2009-09-23* Darwin hack.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23* Create some state directories automatically as a convenience.Eelco Dolstra
2009-09-23 * include wait.h for WEXITSTATUSRob Vermaas
