a0e3b84fac * Revert r15436. This was a workaround for a bug in btrfs which seems
to have been fixed now.

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.)

098cb9d233 Add an ftruncate call paired with fallocate to play safe with some FSes (namely, BtrFS fallocate sets file size to allocated size, i.e. multiple of block size) 2009-05-04 08:10:24 +00:00

4e646b0ddb * Fix a few "comparison is always false/true due to limited range of
data type" warnings on 64-bit platforms.  The one in parser.y is
  likely to be a real bug.

77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.

a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.

b438d37558 * In dumpPath(): pass a function object that allows files to be
selectively in/excluded from the dump.

40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.

447089a5f6 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt
Nix.  This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.

  Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
  signal handler.  In fact, you can't do much of anything except
  change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'.  So we set an
  interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
  strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
  Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
  loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

4a373a3e9a * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
  query commands.  For instance,

  $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix

  $ nix-env --query --available   [aka -qa]
  sylpheed-0.9.7
  bison-1.875
  pango-1.2.5
  subversion-0.35.1
  ...

  $ nix-env -i sylpheed

  $ nix-env -u subversion

  There can be only one default at a time.

* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
  prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.

* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory()
  function.
