cfb09e0fad * Automatically abort transactions if they go out of scope without
committing.

e0305bb7a8 * Some wrapper objects to ensure that SQLite objects are properly
destroyed.

a053d2d8e5 * Add the deriver to the ValidPaths table. In principle we could now
store all the derivers of a path efficiently.  But that opens a big
  can of worms with respect to garbage collector semantics.

dbddac0fe9 * Assign an integer id to every row in the ValidPaths table in order
to make the Refs table more space-efficient.  For instance, this
  reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18
  MiB.  (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1
  KiB block size.)

c1a07f9445 * Convert the Nix database to SQLite. 2010-02-18 13:16:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
07ffdc2862 * 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.

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).

327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c7057fc1f2 * And some more. 2009-09-24 07:39:55 +00:00

64e89980e8 * Create some state directories automatically as a convenience. 2009-09-23 17:05:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
14bc3ce3d6 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00).  1 is a better choice because some
  programs use 0 as a special value.  For instance, the Template
  Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
  so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
  template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs).  Similarly, Maya 2008
  fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
  patched because it's closed source.

  This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
  warnings.

d5eab2fc82 * Use foreach in a lot of places. 2009-04-21 11:52:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8f1bf28505 * nix-store --verify: don't bail out if a referenced path is missing.
(It can't fix it though.)

Eelco Dolstra
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.

c7152c8f97 * Don't use the non-standard __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf class. 2009-03-28 19:41:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
cb85bc396e * Create /nix/store if it doesn't exist. 2009-03-27 14:19:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
92f525ecf4 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by
default.  This is mostly useful for Hydra.

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.
2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00

b682fae9d9 * Build hooks: use nix-store --import. This prevents a redundant
scan for runtime dependencies (i.e. the local machine shouldn't do a
  scan that the remote machine has already done).  Also pipe directly
  into `nix-store --import': don't use a temporary file.

8fce03e0ad * nix-store --verify: repair bad hash fields in the metadata file. 2008-12-16 13:28:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
82ae85de27 * addToStore() in nix-worker: don't write the NAR dump received from
the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient.

ff762fb499 * Pass HashType values instead of strings. 2008-12-03 16:10:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1307b22223 * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path
being copied 3 times in the worst case.  It doesn't run in constant space,
  but it didn't do that anyway.

64519cfd65 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
  
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

e13da525a7 * Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files
and don't indicate path validity.

98b07466fb * Better error checking of the data from the substituters. 2008-08-05 10:57:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5adbb0aabe * build.cc: only use a substituter if it returns info for a path. 2008-08-04 13:15:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c4f98941ed * nix-env --dry-run: show the total size of the substituter
downloads.
2008-08-04 12:29:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3c92ea399d * Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly
again.  (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I
  didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable
  paths.)  This required some refactoring: the substituter programs
  are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via
  stdin/stdout.
2008-08-02 12:54:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
989176c56e * Allow read-only access to the store (e.g., non-root users on NixOS
can do operations like "nix-store -qR <path>" even without the Nix
  daemon).
2008-07-18 15:34:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a72709afd8 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-06-18 09:34:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f789ea1d09 * A transaction is unnecessary since the path cannot be
garbage-collected (it's a temporary root).
2008-03-01 21:05:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
66c51dc215 * nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.
* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of
  each path.
* Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.

d04291cfab * Doh! Don't change the permissions on /nix/store. 2007-10-10 13:52:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
315183f194 * nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk
savings would be.
2007-10-10 13:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a8629de827 * New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space
usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them
  to each other.  It typically reduces the size of the store by
  something like 25-35%.  This is what the optimise-store.pl script
  did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt
  garbage collection and concurrent builds).

3757ee589f * Bump the Nix database schema version number; delete the substitutes
table.
2007-08-13 11:37:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

6d1a1191b0 * Support queryDeriver() in multi-user installations. 2007-06-12 16:53:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
cbfac2fdcc * Set a terminate() handler to ensure that we leave the BDB
environment cleanly even when an exception is thrown from a
  destructor.  We still crash, but we don't take all other Nix
  processes with us.

Eelco Dolstra
db1973d012 * Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call
openssl through $PATH at runtime.

b4a040e52b * Don't check the signature unless we have to. 2007-03-01 12:30:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2ea3bebc23 * Doh! The deriver can be empty. 2007-02-27 23:18:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
65f195f4c7 * Check that the file containing the secret key is secret. 2007-02-21 17:51:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
dc7d594776 * importPath(): set the deriver.
* exportPath(): lock the path, use a transaction.
