Eelco Dolstra	4911a10a4e	Use XZ compression in binary caches ... XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory.	2012-06-29 15:24:52 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra	4f7bab7db1	Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled ... Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.	2012-05-10 19:03:23 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra	39d45a6b09	* Add a test for nix-channel. ... * Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.	2012-01-03 01:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	ab20af3e6f	* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.	2011-11-23 12:21:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	6fcdbcac20	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under ... the Nix:: namespace.	2011-10-10 21:11:08 +00:00
