Eelco Dolstra 9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we 
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).

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.

Eelco Dolstra 36d9258c0d * Successors have been gone for ages. 2007-01-23 16:05:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 215505bb46 * Removed chroot support. 2007-01-13 17:54:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d98f750fd8 * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir(). 2006-10-04 18:58:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68ae953d8a * Clean up calls to system(). 2006-09-25 10:44:27 +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 981eff065b * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. 2006-08-04 11:45:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 846b53bde4 * Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help in 
setuid installations.
 2005-09-16 09:03:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f384d9c1b * Use a proper temporary directory. 2005-09-15 15:21:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cbc8d083ac * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant 
unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths.
 2005-05-10 14:22:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f3601a36c * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the 
`--isvalid' flag in nix-store.
 2005-04-12 10:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebe342c9c1 * Better error checking. 2005-03-25 14:30:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6fb5f7e532 * Pass `--base32' unless using MD5. 2005-03-14 18:55:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bb2e53699f * Parse new hash format properly. 2005-03-14 17:05:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8376fff151 * Add a version number to manifests. 2005-02-25 16:12:52 +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 066da4ab85 * Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure 
invariant by registering references through the manifest.
* Added a test for nix-pull.
 2005-01-25 17:08:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ee88bb2f2 * Use absolute paths. 2005-01-14 13:50:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0bc41f632b * Print out less garbage. 2005-01-12 10:37:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 35b76a81c4 * More instrumentation (statistics go to /nix/var/log/nix/downloads). 2004-12-30 17:19:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3745cecc6a * Fix handling of chained patches: don't skip patches if intermediate 
paths are missing, etc.
 2004-12-30 17:09:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 581bcb986f * Some logging for evaluation. 2004-12-30 16:34:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6270aa727d * Propagate patches from the source distribution to the destination 
distribution insofar they are applicable.
 2004-12-29 22:17:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d1b2101cc * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests. 
* Use the new patch downloader.
