2003-09-03* Make nicer dot graphs. Also show the inner structure of slices.Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-03* Factored out dot graph generation into a separate file.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-29* Do not show the output of the builder unless the verbosity is atEelco Dolstra
least at debug level (-vvv). The output is still appended to the build log in /nix/var/log/nix.
2003-08-28* Do not try to remove write permission from symlinks, since chmod()Eelco Dolstra
follows symlinks. (Note that the permissions on symlinks are ignored anyway.)
2003-08-25* Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity inEelco Dolstra
`nix --query --requisites'.
2003-08-22* Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built.Eelco Dolstra
* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
2003-08-20* Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation ofEelco Dolstra
slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
2003-08-20* Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used asEelco Dolstra
keys to reference slice elements, e.g., Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...]) This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations. Therefore we now have: Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...]) * Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice elements to be duplicated.
2003-08-20* Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slicesEelco Dolstra
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.
2003-08-19* Pipe /dev/null into stdin.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-19* Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and anEelco Dolstra
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
2003-08-18* Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")]) The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing spaces).
2003-08-18* Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...)Eelco Dolstra
when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with some dummy value.
2003-08-15* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through theEelco Dolstra
builder using the `args' binding: ("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")]) Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them in the argument list.
2003-08-15* Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to theEelco Dolstra
builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed hashes to change.
2003-08-15* Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -').Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-14* Detect infinite loops using blackholing.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-14* Function() takes a list of formals.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-14* Lam -> Function. Doh!Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-08* deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like itEelco Dolstra
when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it. So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.
2003-08-06* Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if theEelco Dolstra
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock again without blocking or failing). (This might be dangerous, not sure). Necessary for fast builds to work.
2003-08-06* A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents ofEelco Dolstra
a regular file. I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).
2003-08-06* App -> Call.Eelco Dolstra
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1", False maps to "").
2003-08-05* Conditionals.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-05* Cache result of fstatePaths(). TODO: do this in fstore.cc.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-05* Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions thatEelco Dolstra
normalise to Nix expression.
2003-08-05* Delete obstructed paths prior to building.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-04* Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath().Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-01* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and theEelco Dolstra
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash, either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running the garbage collector.
2003-08-01* Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy.Eelco Dolstra
* Simplified realiseSlice().
2003-08-01* normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thusEelco Dolstra
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber each other's builds. * Fixed a bug in `make install'.
2003-08-01* Don't use substitutes in addToStore().Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31* Put the database verifier in a transaction.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31* Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions.Eelco Dolstra
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not every time they are used. This is necessary because tables have to outlive all transactions that refer to them.
2003-07-31* Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB).Eelco Dolstra
* Checkpoint on exit.
2003-07-31* Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary forEelco Dolstra
transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet).
2003-07-31* Set execute bit.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30* Don't make the builder executable.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29* Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*.Eelco Dolstra
Renamed `fstateRefs' to `fstateRequisites'. The semantics of this function is that it returns a list of all paths necessary to realise a given expression. For a derive expression, this is the union of requisites of the inputs; for a slice expression, it is the path of each element in the slice. Also included are the paths of the expressions themselves. Optionally, one can also include the requisites of successor expressions (to recycle intermediate results). * `nix-switch' now distinguishes between an expression and its normal form. Usually, only the normal form is registered as a root of the garbage collector. With the `--source-root' flag, it will also register the original expression as a root. * `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--keep-successors' which causes successors not to be included in the list of garbage paths. * `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--invert' which will print all paths that should *not* be garbage collected.
2003-07-29* Nicer dot graphs.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29* `fstateRefs' now works on derive expressions as well. TODO: makeEelco Dolstra
this more efficient. * A flag `-n' in 'nix --query' to normalise the argument. Default is not to normalise.
2003-07-29* Let `nix --install' print out the id of the normal form.Eelco Dolstra
* Some minor refactoring.
2003-07-28* `nix --help'.Eelco Dolstra
* `nix --query --graph' to print a dot dependency graph of derive expressions.
2003-07-24* Fix message.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-24* The `-v' flag no longer takes an argument; it should be repeatedEelco Dolstra
instead (e.g., `-vvvv' for lots of output). Default is to only print error messages.
2003-07-24* Do sync the database, since not doing so caused database changes notEelco Dolstra
to reach the disk at all. Looks like a bug.
2003-07-24* Debug levels. Use `--verbose / -v LEVEL' to display only messagesEelco Dolstra
up to the given verbosity levels. These currently are: lvlError = 0, lvlNormal = 5, lvlDebug = 10, lvlDebugMore = 15 although only lvlError and lvlDebug are actually used right now.
2003-07-24* Don't sync the database on close. This was killing performance.Eelco Dolstra
(Of course, the real problem is that we open the database for *every* operation; we should only open it once. And we should use transactions.)
2003-07-23* Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.Eelco Dolstra
* `make dist'.
2003-07-22* libdb_cxx-4 -> libdb_cxxEelco Dolstra
