7d75616f2c * NEWS and manual update for release 0.7. 2005-01-12 10:27:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6af4a5a71f * Prototype store optimiser. It searched the Nix store for identical 
files and hard-links them to each other to save disk space.

  Currently it doesn't actually do the hard-linking, it just reports
  the amount of space saved if it did.

a03397be4c * Cygwin compatibility. 2005-01-04 17:38:26 +00:00

f28ea27d83 * Remove old stuff. 2004-12-31 11:07:32 +00:00

c53898cb65 * If a patch already exists, it must still be included in the manifest. 2004-12-31 11:07:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
35b76a81c4 * More instrumentation (statistics go to /nix/var/log/nix/downloads). 2004-12-30 17:19:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3745cecc6a * Fix handling of chained patches: don't skip patches if intermediate 
paths are missing, etc.

581bcb986f * Some logging for evaluation. 2004-12-30 16:34:54 +00:00

6270aa727d * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination 
distribution insofar they are applicable.

4f07ebc67e * Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from 
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source
  tree.  The license is a bit peculiar, but it does allow verbatim
  copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes
  to the sources).

54d8f08588 * Reject patches larger than the full archives they produce. 2004-12-29 19:32:55 +00:00

manifests.

9022cf9adf * A small utility to add the Size and NarHash fields to old manifests. 2004-12-28 21:12:00 +00:00

4bf58d5379 * Added a function to write manifests. 2004-12-28 21:11:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3d1b2101cc * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. 
* Use the new patch downloader.
 2004-12-20 16:38:50 +00:00

7eed57e784 * Sync with changed substitute mechanism. 
* Accept the NarHash line.
* Clear substitutes in `nix-channel --update'.
 2004-12-20 14:57:03 +00:00

96c3d8a615 * I love test sets. 2004-12-20 14:38:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8b9697e575 * An operation `nix-store --clear-substitutes' to remove all 
registered substitute mappings.
 2004-12-20 14:16:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fa9259f5f5 * Simplify the substitute mechanism: 
- Drop the store expression.  So now a substitute is just a
    command-line invocation (a program name + arguments).  If you
    register a substitute you are responsible for registering the
    expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage
    collector.
  - Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.

Eelco Dolstra
f4041cc175 * Commit old changed to bdiff.sh - but bdiff.sh is obsolete. 2004-12-16 14:59:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
77970f8daf * Remove `prebuilts.conf' file, it's not like anybody was using it. 
* Add /nix/var/nix/manifests directory.
 2004-12-16 14:31:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e3b051aeeb * Include the size of the bzipped archive (necessary for computing the 
cheapest download path), as well as the hash of the contents of the
  path (necessary for checking patch applicability).
 2004-12-13 16:56:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
862f4c154e * Patch deployment. `download.pl' (intended to be used in the 
substitute mechanism) creates a store path by downloading full NAR
  archives and/or patches specified in the available manifests.

  Any combination of present paths, full downloads, and patches can be
  used to construct the target path.  In particular, patches can be
  chained in sequence; and full NAR archives of the target path can be
  omitted (i.e., patch-only deployment is possible).  A shortest path
  algorithm is used to find the smallest set of files to be downloaded
  (the edge weights are currently file sizes, but one can imagine
  taking the network speed to the various source into account).

  Patches are binary deltas between two store paths.  To be precise,
  they are the output of the `bsdiff' program applied to the NAR
  archives obtained by dumping (`nix-store --dump') the two store
  paths.  The advantage of diff'ing NAR archives (and not, say, doing
  file-by-file diffs) is that file renames/moves are handled
  automatically.  The disadvantage is that we cannot optimise creation
  of unchanged files (by hard-linking).

dca48aed34 * Allow an optional hash to be provided. This prevents redundant 
fetches.

Eelco Dolstra
13f77276d1 * utime() follows symlinks, so don't change the mtime if the file is a 
symlink.

0, set the mode to either 444 or 555, set the group to the default).
