2005-03-14 15:09:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1562dfe9ba * Script to garbage collect nix-push directories. It prints out all
file names in the directory not included in any of the manifests
  specified on the command line.
2005-03-14 14:03:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 012b812698 * Preliminary NEWS for 0.8. 2005-03-11 18:35:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 536f324177 * nix-install-package: install outPath, not drvPath, for now.
* nix-prefecth-url: print out in base-16.
2005-03-11 15:27:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 08df443618 * Check for duplicate attributes and formal parameters in Nix
expressions.
2005-03-10 11:33:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 97c93526da * In the checker, do traversals of the dependency graph explicitly. A
conditional expression in the blacklist can specify when to
  continue/stop a traversal.  For example, in

    <condition>
      <within>
        <traverse>
          <not><hasAttr name='outputHash' value='.+' /></not>
        </traverse>
        <hasAttr name='outputHash' value='ef1cb003448b4a53517b8f25adb12452' />
      </within>
    </condition>

  we traverse the dependency graph, not following the dependencies of
  `fetchurl' derivations (as indicated by the presence of an
  `outputHash' attribute - this is a bit ugly).  The resulting set of
  paths is scanned for a fetch of a file with the given hash, in this
  case, the hash of zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz (which has a security bug).  The
  intent is that a dependency on zlib is not a problem if it is in a
  `fetchurl' derivation, since that's build-time only.  (Other
  build-time uses of zlib *might* be a problem, e.g., static linking.)
2005-03-07 16:26:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bfbc55cbc6 * Use XML::LibXML. 2005-03-07 14:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 543d7a41dc * Automatically add propagated build inputs to user environments.
Maybe this is a bad idea.
2005-03-07 13:27:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9a7f95882c * Basic blacklist checker. Each element in a user environment is
checked against every item in a blacklist.
2005-03-04 11:12:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4bbdcfbb45 * Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer. 2005-03-03 13:58:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e6bca8765 * Channel fix. 2005-03-03 13:10:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 86cb3cc554 * Increase Berkeley DB limits a bit more.
* Maintain the cleanup invariant in clearSubstitutes().
2005-03-03 13:10:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0107fba48e * Concept for a simple blacklist. 2005-03-02 15:57:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07b4399fb6 * `nix-store -q --hash' to quickly query the hash of the contents of a
store path (which is stored in the database).
2005-03-02 15:57:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e50e648a4 * Doh! 2005-03-01 11:27:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d364e5baa * Add missing file to dist. 2005-03-01 11:27:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db322a47ff * Use a weighted use heuristic to disambiguate between multiple
occurances of a component.  If the shortest path distance between a
  component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution
  of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2.  This
  expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby
  uses.

  For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in
  Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses,
  but they are further away),  and between the GCC of the final stdenv
  and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).
2005-03-01 10:33:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2c4302dd7a * Added a disambiguation heuristic: if two components have the same
name but differ to much in sice (by more than a factor of 3), then
  never generate a patch.
2005-02-28 14:12:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8376fff151 * Add a version number to manifests. 2005-02-25 16:12:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d3c346559 * Pause if errors occur. 2005-02-25 15:58:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6bafeafb88 * nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated
by the build farm.  See e.g.,
  http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/;
  the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming
  the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with
  `nix-install-package').

  Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a
  pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be
  added to the user environment.  This makes these packages
  independent from Nix expression evolution.

  Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the
  resulting output path ($outPath).  This is equivalent, except that
  installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output
  path to the derivation that built it.  This is useful for
  maintenance.

* Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something
  when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.
2005-02-25 15:42:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3259ae5811 * Properly specify the hash algorithm in the manifests, and read it
too.
* Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since
  that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather
  unlikely there).
2005-02-24 17:36:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95e870a113 * (Unnecessary) refactoring. 2005-02-24 14:06:18 +00:00
