Eelco Dolstra	588cb0eade	* In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between ... concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.	2006-06-15 11:56:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	59682e6188	* Make lock removal safe by signalling to blocked processes that the ... lock they are waiting on has become stale (we do this by writing a meaningless token to the unlinked file).	2005-01-27 12:19:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	c8d3882cdc	* True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in ... parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is initiated on one master machine, which then distributes sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the infrastructure to support this. TODO: substitutes are currently broken.	2004-05-11 18:05:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	7a02d95418	* Remove lock files after building.	2003-11-21 16:05:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	9f0f020929	* libnix -> libstore.	2003-11-18 10:55:27 +00:00
