e78f753aa8* Include the right files in a distribution.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-10-02 12:22:19 +0000
4193d62e08* Nix now respects $TMPDIR for the creation of temporary build directories. * Retry creation of a temporary directory (with a different name) in the case of EEXIST.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-10-02 11:55:38 +0000
41730f5779* Put the SVN revision number in the version string.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-23 14:26:58 +0000
1c7d6bf5fc* Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on GCC 2.95.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-11 10:23:55 +0000
d930a9bc5a* Added some missing #includes.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-11 08:31:29 +0000
803a924b77* Make nicer dot graphs. Also show the inner structure of slices.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-03 14:49:58 +0000
c0bbed0959* Factored out dot graph generation into a separate file.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-09-03 11:20:18 +0000
0d2bc68681* Do not show the output of the builder unless the verbosity is at least at debug level (-vvv). The output is still appended to the build log in /nix/var/log/nix.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-29 13:12:30 +0000
25304af72e* Set a path.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-28 10:51:52 +0000
b018517314* Do not try to remove write permission from symlinks, since chmod() follows symlinks. (Note that the permissions on symlinks are ignored anyway.)
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-28 10:51:14 +0000
31be53cd0a* Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity in `nix --query --requisites'.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-25 14:56:11 +0000
920193beb1* Don't continue when the call to nix fails.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-25 14:36:04 +0000
a88144215c* Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built. * 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).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-22 20:12:44 +0000
56b98c3857* Some work on the introduction.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-22 11:29:20 +0000
956801fcc2* Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-20 14:11:40 +0000
624c48260f* Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as keys to reference slice elements, e.g.,
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-20 12:39:56 +0000
710175e6a0* Bumped the version number to 0.3.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-20 11:31:15 +0000
ed0db2e0d8* Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-20 11:30:45 +0000
1472cc4825* Pipe /dev/null into stdin.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-19 13:07:38 +0000
2de8504791* Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-19 09:04:47 +0000
ebbb6ce578* Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...) when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with some dummy value.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-18 14:54:54 +0000
c32e01eab2* Revision 300! * Put `@' in front of echo's in the Makefile.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-18 08:52:49 +0000
08f9cfe267* No longer automatically download Berkeley DB / ATerm.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-18 08:35:16 +0000
96c7b98bf0* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the builder using the `args' binding:
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-15 13:01:45 +0000
555347744d* Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed hashes to change.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-15 12:32:37 +0000
e374dbf89b* A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix store, and print its hash.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-15 10:13:41 +0000
01e30360d4* Don't use a temporary file.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-15 09:39:33 +0000
163db7367f* Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -').
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-15 09:21:19 +0000
161aab582b* Use a catalog when calling xsltproc.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-14 18:24:40 +0000
a24cb19361* Use xmllint instead of nsgmls to validate the manual.

469f1eba56* Documented some Nix operations.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-12 15:06:49 +0000
e405ca506e* Generate man pages from the manual.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-12 13:54:42 +0000
c602930e08* deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it. So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-08 14:55:56 +0000
4b7b0bd12c* Started on the introduction.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-07 15:27:14 +0000
f8035d06f2* Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name NAME'. E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 14:48:29 +0000
9ad39df282* `==' is not a valid operator.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 10:00:30 +0000
d551062ec4* Scan for wget and use the full path in fetchurl.sh. * Use nix-hash (not md5sum) in fetchurl.sh.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 09:35:05 +0000
236eb59293* Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the 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.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 09:34:04 +0000
720f06e3b0* A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of a regular file. I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 09:06:32 +0000
37483672d4* App -> Call. * Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1", False maps to "").
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-06 09:05:04 +0000
d2e963f7a3* Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath().
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-04 07:09:36 +0000
c95b4ad290* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the 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.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-01 15:41:47 +0000
545145cd58* normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber each other's builds.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-01 14:11:19 +0000
9df93f30bd* Don't use substitutes in addToStore().
Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-01 09:01:51 +0000
06434072e7* Put the database verifier in a transaction.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31 19:49:11 +0000
06d3d7355d* Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31 16:05:35 +0000
177a7782ae* Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB). * Checkpoint on exit.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31 14:28:49 +0000
4a013962bd* Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary for transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31 13:47:13 +0000
758bd4673a* Set execute bit.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-31 13:13:27 +0000
26ff1cdf89* A better test case for Nix race conditions.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30 14:40:46 +0000
64c617e984* Directories for the manual.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30 14:40:18 +0000
2ac02440dc* Test cases for races.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30 13:35:46 +0000
aaee69cfde* INSTALL_DATA -> INSTALL_PROGRAM to ensure that the execute bit remains set.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30 10:14:58 +0000
83075304e5* Don't make the builder executable.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-30 09:49:47 +0000
1cb030736e* Bug: Fix does not allow empty names, so don't generate them.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 17:56:39 +0000
a01629894d* Use `--query --requisites' and include successors when pushing. Don't use `--query --generators' anymore.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 15:19:03 +0000
40f32ae00a* Typo: if -> elsif.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 14:42:14 +0000
8846465934* Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*. 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).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 14:28:17 +0000
79ba0431db* `fstateRefs' now works on derive expressions as well. TODO: make this more efficient. * A flag `-n' in 'nix --query' to normalise the argument. Default is not to normalise.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 10:43:12 +0000
5acb45446e* Let `nix --install' print out the id of the normal form. * Some minor refactoring.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-29 09:45:03 +0000
ce5fd1cc12* Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another glibc so loading barfs.
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-28 16:07:01 +0000
dec8fbc52b* Check for the pthread library (db4 needs it on some platforms).
Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-28 14:13:42 +0000
949c4fa1a8* `nix --help'. * `nix --query --graph' to print a dot dependency graph of derive expressions.
