Eelco Dolstra 1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the 
names of the attributes in an attribute set.

Eelco Dolstra 9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of 
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.

Eelco Dolstra fe15f991e3 * Troubleshooting information on fixing a b0rked Berkeley DB database. 2006-11-30 11:24:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 745e354b19 * Push. 2006-11-14 10:23:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2a70b7ec0 * Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the references 
graph to be passed to a builder.  This attribute should be a list of
  pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...].  The references graph of each
  `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build
  directory.  The text files have the format used by `nix-store
  --register-validity'.  However, the deriver fields are left empty.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do
  something with the closure of a store path.  Examples: the builders
  that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS.

  `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure.  It's necessary because
  otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would
  be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though
  unfortunately possible).

Eelco Dolstra e40d4a5604 * Option --reregister' in nix-store --register-validity'. We need 
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the
  cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual
  contents.

Eelco Dolstra 005eecfc4d * Release notes. 2006-10-30 16:29:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6fb27f18 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if 
available.  For instance,

    $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less

  lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your
  profile.

* `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.

Eelco Dolstra 7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another 
kind of notation for strings.
