9819bb20da Added support for file:// archive (.nar.gz) repositories to nix-reduce-build. /tmp/nix-export created by nix-http-export.cgi is OK. 2008-05-11 15:54:30 +00:00

658816ddc9 * Make really sure that we use bash. The line
NEED_PROG(shell, bash)

  actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at
  /bin/sh.

72034ab35d * sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.
This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail
  when performed in a directory with a very long path name.  So chdir
  to the socket directory and use a relative path name.

f8985d195e * Fix for NIX-101 (should use an absolute path for call to nix-hash). 2008-03-28 17:52:33 +00:00

329025253d * Use /tmp/nix-build-<drvpath>-<counter> instead of
/tmp/nix-<pid>-<counter> for temporary build directories.  This
  increases purity a bit: many packages store the temporary build path
  in their output, causing (generally unimportant) binary differences.

11d512e7a8 Added nix-reduce-build. You point it to some path you want to build and it fetches whatever it can from specified computers via nix-copy-closure. NOTE: You do want to set up RSA keys or ssh-agent or something... You really do want it. It will run separate ssh instances insane number of times. 2008-02-27 21:26:47 +00:00

0a84137c45 * checkVarDefs: don't check in closed terms, which don't have
undefined variables by definition.  This matters for the
  implementation of "with", which does a call to checkVarDefs to see
  if the body of the with has no undefined variables.  (It can't be
  checked at parse time because you don't know which variables are in
  the "with" attribute set.)  If we check closed terms, then we check
  not just the with body but also the substituted terms, which are
  typically very large.  This is the cause of the poor nix-env
  performance on Nixpkgs lately.  It didn't happen earlier because
  "with" wasn't used very often in the past.

  This fix improves nix-env performance roughly 60x on current Nixpkgs.
  nix-env -qa is down from 29.3s to 0.5s on my laptop, and nix-env -qa
  --out-path is down from 229s to 3.39s.  Not bad for a 1-line fix :-)

0ed89c569f * Fix the parsing of
''
      '${foo}'
    ''
    
  where the antiquote should work as expected, instead of giving the
  string "'${foo}'".

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.

Eelco Dolstra
485d71c54a * Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: echo -n foo' suddenly prints -n foo'
instead of `foo' without a newline (with /bin/sh, not /bin/bash,
  even though /bin/sh is also bash...).  So use printf instead.

6d6c68c0d2 * Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two
single quotes.  Example (from NixOS):

    job = ''
      start on network-interfaces

      start script

        rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver
        ${if videoDriver == "nvidia"        
          then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver"
          else if cfg.driSupport
          then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver"
          else ""
        }

        rm -f /var/log/slim.log

      end script
    '';

  This style has two big advantages:

  - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${.  So you get a lot less
    escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS.
    The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as
    "").  ${ is also fairly rare.

    Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also
    considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks
    (thanks Martin).

  - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings
    can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix
    expression.  E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from
    the start of each line.  This prevents unnecessary indentation in
    generated files (which sometimes even breaks things).

  See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
