Eelco Dolstra d303b389a9 * `nix-copy-closure --from': copy from a remote machine instead of to 
a remote machine.
 2007-03-26 21:05:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7edd2e2cd2 * Refactoring. 2007-03-26 20:49:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a8ea4cbcc8 * Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel 
modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected.  Idem
  for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.
 2007-03-20 11:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra eb2dd4815c * Remove old generations in all directories under 
/nix/var/nix/profiles, not just in that directory itself.  (NixOS
  puts profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user.)
 2007-03-13 11:30:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df0283ae86 * Get rid of those stupid --login tricks, it's the responsibility of 
the remote system to make sure that Nix is in the $PATH.
 2007-03-01 13:55:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 30394a4f3f * sh -> bash. 2007-03-01 13:49:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 363e307fd3 * Error message to stdout. 2007-02-26 23:32:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa2be32034 * nix-copy-closure: force a login shell on the remote machine to make 
sure that nix-store is in the PATH.
* nix-copy-closure: option --gzip to compress data.
 2007-02-22 16:42:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c5e6d1a2f * nix-copy-closure: option --sign. 
* nix-copy-closure: set SSH options through NIX_SSHOPTS..
 2007-02-22 15:48:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 024a8ed382 * New command `nix-copy-closure' to copy a closure to a Nix store on 
another machine through ssh.  E.g.,

    $ nix-copy-closure xyzzy $(which svn)

  copies the closure of Subversion to machine `xyzzy'.  This is like
  `nix-pack-closure $(which svn) | ssh xyzzy', but it's much more
  efficient since it only copies those paths that are missing on the
  target machine.
 2007-02-21 23:14:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8181a1c3bb * Close the file - just in case. 2007-02-20 22:49:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bae75ca5a1 * New kind of manifest object: "localPath", which denotes that a store 
path can be created by copying it from another location in the file
  system.  This is useful in the NixOS installation.
 2007-01-23 16:50:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 36d9258c0d * Successors have been gone for ages. 2007-01-23 16:05:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7bc30e1ca8 * nix-prefetch-url: change the default hash to SHA-256 (in base-32). 2007-01-22 09:53:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra afe23b5f38 * nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure. 
* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and
  print them on stdout.  This allows them to be installed, e.g.,
  "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)".  (NIX-64)
 2007-01-13 19:50:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 215505bb46 * Removed chroot support. 2007-01-13 17:54:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1b7840b949 2007-01-11 19:28:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 69c8b5b8a7 * Install generate-patches into libexec. 2007-01-11 16:19:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1f3722bd4a * Reject patches that are larger than a certain fraction of the full archive 
(currently 60%).  Large patches aren't very economical.
 2007-01-08 15:32:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 50bdec410a * Huge speedup in patch propagation (20 minutes or so to 3 seconds). 2007-01-08 15:17:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cafaceb707 * Handle weird cases when the server redirects us while setting a cookie. 2006-12-15 21:27:26 +00:00
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.
 2006-12-08 15:44:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d941186289 * Show more progress. 2006-11-18 19:03:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b3f916995a * Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken. 2006-10-31 18:45:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8d17265ac4 * Don't use EPSV. 2006-10-28 22:07:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b3d3700e11 * nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'. 2006-10-19 17:30:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2a535689fe * Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB to 
prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl.
 2006-10-12 20:13:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d98f750fd8 * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir(). 2006-10-04 18:58:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3632019b73 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly 
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front";
  particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
 2006-09-25 14:00:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d43565c3e8 * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at 
a different location than the user's.  This makes channels usable as
  a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under
  non-standard prefixes.  (NIX-57)
 2006-09-25 11:11:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68ae953d8a * Clean up calls to system(). 2006-09-25 10:44:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76c9710091 * Use builtins.toPath. 2006-09-25 10:29:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0bd5eb71a0 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12). 
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9).
* `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause.
* Tests for nix-install-package.
* Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
 2006-09-21 18:54:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ee5040421f * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm. 2006-09-21 11:29:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1b804f88e4 * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51). 
* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
 2006-09-20 16:23:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 947e645789 * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54). 2006-09-20 15:14:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a060adf165 * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates 
NARs.  Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21).
* Better help.
 2006-09-20 15:04:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7dd342e482 * Doh. 2006-09-19 16:40:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ee6cf99660 * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account. 
* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
 2006-09-19 16:14:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6dbed1bf38 * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking 
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other.  (Previously
  it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
 2006-09-19 14:58:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07cec27848 * Cleanups. 2006-09-19 14:27:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9488ae7357 * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of 
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile.  It shows the
  number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the
  size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the
  difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the
  average size).

  $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
  gcc 11
    3.3.6 19293318
    3.4.4 21425257
    ...
    average 14942970, waste 149429707
  coreutils 6
  ...
  average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted

  This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space
  of the Nix approach.
 2006-09-19 13:53:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2e210b2387 * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes 
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then
  runs the garbage collector.  Quick way to get rid of all old stuff.
  Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after
  this.
 2006-09-06 14:23:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e239a37ff * file:/ -> file:// 2006-08-09 19:37:23 +00:00
Armijn Hemel c0bfcbdd45 rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. Default 
values are not changed.
 2006-08-08 15:42:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a6b45e252 * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between 
environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case
  insensitive).
 2006-08-07 18:22:57 +00:00
Armijn Hemel a61129c48c add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on 2006-08-05 00:33:52 +00:00
Armijn Hemel f1947cce93 prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. 2006-08-05 00:31:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4a502a09a * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0. 2006-08-04 11:51:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 981eff065b * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. 2006-08-04 11:45:50 +00:00
