Eelco Dolstra	74033a844f	* Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged ... processes can register indirect roots. Of course, there is still the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of the indirect roots when it's running as root...	2006-12-04 23:29:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	e25fad691a	* Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function ... syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.	2006-12-02 16:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	a824d58b56	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed. ... * addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).	2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	6ecb840fd1	* Put building in the store API.	2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	e2ef5e07fd	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI ... 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.	2006-11-30 17:43:04 +00:00
