Eelco Dolstra 8511571f65 * Performance enhancement. 2003-07-10 15:24:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d1c3691d2 * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
  `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.

  This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
  substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
  fstate expression.  For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
  that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
  them, but any other method is possible as well.  This is an
  improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
  (fetching through `wget') built in.

  The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
  from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
  Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
  substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.

Eelco Dolstra d072485d28 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar).
* queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying
  the target path (which may be empty).
* Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix.  TODO: bootstrap
  Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.

Eelco Dolstra 9a99dc736d * Canonicalise paths so that Fix produces identical Nix
expressions for identical inputs.
2003-07-08 20:26:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cab3f4977a * A path canonicaliser that doesn't depend on the existence of paths
(i.e., it doesn't use realpath(3), which is broken in any case).
  Therefore it doesn't resolve symlinks.
