2006-11-30* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.Eelco Dolstra
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
2006-11-30* Oops.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-30* Skeleton of remote store implementation.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-30* Put building in the store API.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-30* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPIEelco Dolstra
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
2006-11-29* Don't spam.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-29* Example script to set permissions for setuid operation.Roy van den Broek
2006-11-29* Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.Eelco Dolstra
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries.
2006-11-24* Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.Eelco Dolstra
(NIX-70)
2006-11-24* Dead files.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-18* Turn off synchronisation between C and C++ I/O functions. ThisEelco Dolstra
gives a huge speedup in operations that read or write from standard input/output. (So libstdc++'s I/O isn't that bad, you just have to call std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false).) For instance, `nix-store --register-substitutes' went from 1.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds on a certain input. Another victory for Valgrind.
2006-11-13* Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessaryEelco Dolstra
now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy.
2006-11-13* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the referencesEelco Dolstra
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible).
2006-11-13* Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We needEelco Dolstra
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents.
2006-11-03* Fix importing of derivation outputs.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-30* readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-28* `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, ifEelco Dolstra
available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-23* Some better error messages.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* Better message.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* toFile: maintain the references.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix toEelco Dolstra
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though.
2006-10-17* Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Print out the offending path.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* An awful backwards compatibility hack.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Maintain the references for the user environment properly.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* toPath: should be the identity on paths.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to passEelco Dolstra
non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17* Do the path check on the normal form.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-16* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, stringEelco Dolstra
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-13* A helpful message.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-13* Don't crash when upgrading the Berkeley DB environment.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-11* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just anotherEelco Dolstra
kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-10* Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the NixEelco Dolstra
expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10* `import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make `import (x + y)'Eelco Dolstra
work, where x is a store path.
2006-10-05* Documented nix-store --dump / --restore.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-03* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in theEelco Dolstra
argument.
2006-10-03* toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store pathEelco Dolstra
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'. * toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
2006-10-02* Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-02* Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-27* Fix setuid builds.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-25* Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properlyEelco Dolstra
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-24* The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-handEelco Dolstra
side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24* Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.Eelco Dolstra
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24* Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-24* lessThan primitive for integer comparison.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-22* Builtin function `add' to add integers.Eelco Dolstra
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
