53e376d836 * Refactored the source tree. 2003-10-20 09:20:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).

f7c7aad135 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and do not synchronously flush the
log on commit.  This means that there is a small change that some
  transactions may be rolled back in case of a system crash, but this
  should not be a problem (it merely might cause some expression
  realisations to be rolled back), and it vastly improves performance.

* Upgraded to ATerm 2.0.5 (which also includes Armijn's 64-bit
  patches).

181aa3dc41 * Don't sort the result of `--query --list'. 2003-10-16 08:06:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ebff82222c * Refactoring: move all database manipulation into store.cc.
* Removed `--query --generators'.

c190f051ac * Automatically recover the database in case of a crash. 2003-10-14 15:33:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1d61e473c8 * New query `nix --query --predecessors' to print the predecessors of
a Nix expression.

0abe185688 * `nix --verify': check and repair reverse mapping for successors. 2003-10-10 15:14:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d3d5e77810 * Reverse mappings for the successor and substitute mappings. 2003-10-10 14:46:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1eb4da156c * Performance improvement: don't register already registered terms,
thus greatly reducing the number of db transactions.

6baa2c4420 * Get rid of identifiers since they are redundant now. This greatly
simplifies stuff.

* The format of Nix expressions and the database schema changed
  because of this, so it's best to delete old Nix installations.

b9f4942bd2 * string -> Path. 2003-10-07 14:37:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5d4171f7fb * Synchronise terminology with the ICSE paper (e.g., slice -> closure,
fstate -> Nix expression).
* Fix src/test.cc.

Eelco Dolstra
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.

1c7d6bf5fc * Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on
GCC 2.95.

d930a9bc5a * Added some missing #includes. 2003-09-11 08:31:29 +00:00

803a924b77 * Make nicer dot graphs. Also show the inner structure of slices. 2003-09-03 14:49:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c0bbed0959 * Factored out dot graph generation into a separate file. 2003-09-03 11:20:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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
b018517314 * Do not try to remove write permission from symlinks, since chmod()
follows symlinks.  (Note that the permissions on symlinks are
  ignored anyway.)
2003-08-28 10:51:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
31be53cd0a * Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity in
`nix --query --requisites'.
2003-08-25 14:56:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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
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.
2003-08-20 14:11:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
624c48260f * Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as
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 12:39:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ed0db2e0d8 * Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.

1472cc4825 * Pipe /dev/null into stdin. 2003-08-19 13:07:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2de8504791 * Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
2003-08-19 09:04:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
31e4aa6439 * Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,
("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).

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.

96c7b98bf0 * Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
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 13:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
555347744d * Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the
builder.  Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
  hashes to change.
2003-08-15 12:32:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
163db7367f * Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -'). 2003-08-15 09:21:19 +00:00

dc0ef2ca98 * Detect infinite loops using blackholing. 2003-08-14 12:37:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5cde23f869 * Function() takes a list of formals. 2003-08-14 09:49:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0a2de7f543 * Lam -> Function. Doh! 2003-08-14 09:29:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.
2003-08-08 14:55:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.
2003-08-06 09:34:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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).
2003-08-06 09:06:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
37483672d4 * App -> Call.
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1",
  False maps to "").

Eelco Dolstra
17f05dba77 * Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions that
normalise to Nix expression.

d6b6b2d3a8 * Delete obstructed paths prior to building. 2003-08-05 09:47:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d2e963f7a3 * Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath(). 2003-08-04 07:09:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.

d99d04e644 * Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy.
* Simplified realiseSlice().
2003-08-01 15:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
545145cd58 * normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber
  each other's  builds.

* Fixed a bug in `make install'.

9df93f30bd * Don't use substitutes in addToStore(). 2003-08-01 09:01:51 +00:00
