* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to
...
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
same thing as writeFile.
2010-01-29 12:22:58 +00:00
ad529fb89f
* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is
...
zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes
(especially on ext4).
2010-01-29 11:53:58 +00:00

* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are
...
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 17:18:44 +00:00
50e34891f0
* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much
...
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 16:14:45 +00:00
5388944e8d
* Make the garbage collector do the right thing when `gc-keep-outputs'
...
is enabled by not depending on the deriver.
2010-01-25 16:04:32 +00:00
f0c0277970
* On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix
...
works correctly in weird environments where the SIGCHLD handler is
set to "ignore".
2010-01-12 12:22:38 +00:00
ef92a14bfe
* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
...
_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.)
2009-12-17 14:12:44 +00:00
945d8218fb
* Build correctly against newer ATerm releases. Fixes "error: 'union'
...
tag used in naming 'struct _ATerm'".
2009-12-16 15:29:50 +00:00
d8a5dc02fc
* Build on Fedora 12.
2009-12-10 13:14:22 +00:00
3a78af1e24
* Release notes.
2009-12-09 21:02:24 +00:00
7ca9972636
* When doing a nix-pull, remove old manifests downloaded from the same
...
URL. This prevents lots of old cruft accumulating in
/nix/var/nix/manifests.
2009-12-09 19:36:54 +00:00
c4c84d1edb
* nix-build: be less verbose.
2009-12-09 18:08:28 +00:00
bcd6cdf0d8
* Give a better error message when trying to build something and
...
readOnlyMode is set.
2009-12-09 17:45:22 +00:00
13618b191e
* Grrr.
2009-11-24 13:28:46 +00:00
aa5a768720
* GCC 4.4 is stricter about the EOF macro
...
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/156340 ).
2009-11-24 12:56:26 +00:00
9b8fda796b
* Templatise getIntArg / string2Int.
2009-11-24 12:26:25 +00:00
8022015552
* In the garbage collector, don't count files with a link count > 1 in
...
the "bytes/blocks freed" statistics.
2009-11-24 10:51:52 +00:00
f9e766db98
* Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collector
...
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first
(e.g. /nix/store/000...). This matters when using --max-freed etc.
2009-11-24 09:53:18 +00:00

2009-11-23 21:21:29 +00:00
3d55f1eb57
* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage
...
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
paths.
2009-11-23 18:16:25 +00:00
ae6bf87273
* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
...
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.:
/nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 17:23:12 +00:00
c364d5d1e3
* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
...
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 16:34:24 +00:00
4f7e5f5810
* Don't create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/{tmp,channels}, since they don't
...
seem to be used anymore.
2009-11-23 12:48:54 +00:00
8824d60fe5
* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
...
(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.
2009-11-20 17:12:38 +00:00
997db91e07
* Don't pass -K. It should really inherit the setting of the calling
...
Nix though.
2009-11-17 16:22:39 +00:00
3392d32e8b
* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it
...
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.
2009-11-13 10:08:31 +00:00
327a232c85
* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.
2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
c60d796f04
* Version bump.
2009-11-05 22:23:38 +00:00
e8bad77c7c
2009-11-05 15:20:19 +00:00
7680904839
* Build on Karmic.
2009-11-05 14:53:01 +00:00
58f3338bfa
* The Nix .deb package depends on curl.
2009-11-05 14:40:42 +00:00
268d90a03e
* Various updates.
2009-11-05 09:07:43 +00:00
1ff8758f76
* Manual updates.
2009-11-04 16:52:35 +00:00
8520542071
* When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linking
...
fails. This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise',
because some files may have 32000 links (NIX-111).
2009-10-22 08:28:33 +00:00
6b9f6b0222
* Remove a prototype for a function that no longer exists.
2009-10-22 08:12:38 +00:00
deb342fb08
* builtins.trace: in the common case that the value is a string, then
...
show the string, not the ATerm, so we get `trace: bla' instead of
`trace: Str("bla",[])'.
2009-10-22 08:10:12 +00:00
437077c39d
* Added a primop unsafeDiscardOutputDependency needed by Disnix to
...
pass derivation paths to a builder without actually building them.
2009-10-21 15:05:30 +00:00
6f7d7bc1de
* Give a useful error message when an evaluation error occurs while
...
trying to upgrade a package.
2009-10-13 09:30:17 +00:00
53a4981fa2
Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-10-08 14:50:37 +00:00
18f0ff003d
configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file 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.
2009-10-06 09:14:06 +00:00
96f1517831
* Support platforms that don't have O_ASYNC (e.g. OpenSolaris
...
apparently).
2009-09-30 11:32:04 +00:00
1a8f8fd86f
* OpenSolaris compatibility.
2009-09-30 09:54:29 +00:00
0f79ad47c5
2009-09-25 12:36:03 +00:00
c7057fc1f2
* And some more.
2009-09-24 07:39:55 +00:00
193f59e077
* Fix a build failure on Fedora 11. rename() needs <stdio.h>.
2009-09-24 07:21:29 +00:00
0ae2be5692
2009-09-24 07:05:06 +00:00
1332dd1ed3
* tryEval shouldn't catch all exceptions of type Error, since not all
...
of them leave the evaluator in a continuable state. Also, it should
be less chatty.
2009-09-23 19:19:26 +00:00
63a17d4bd5
* Don't build against BDB on Cygwin, it's been broken for unknown
...
reasons for a while (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/79164 ).
2009-09-23 18:52:18 +00:00
676e07902e
* Darwin hack.
2009-09-23 18:04:55 +00:00
64e89980e8
* Create some state directories automatically as a convenience.
