ebcccbd358* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector, such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN.

2006-07-06 15:30:37 +0000
a945fb7905* `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equal to the new version. This is actually useful.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-27 12:17:25 +0000
f4a3a280db* Apply the ATerm aliasing patch so that Nix works correctly with gcc 4.1.x.

dbf6d7e783* Concurrent GC on Cygwin.

5bb3444032* _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin.

2006-06-19 16:24:15 +0000
b35735d8b2* On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-19 14:43:13 +0000
0e783e5579* Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when there are several parallel processes.

2006-06-19 14:37:35 +0000
d7f40357e3* Skip this test on Cygwin, too slow (and doesn't test anything Cygwin-specific).

2006-06-16 13:27:36 +0000
c937b73622* Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock.

588cb0eade* In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.

2006-05-12 11:47:45 +0000
9d72bf8835* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon 64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.

Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-04 12:21:08 +0000
052cefe1bd* Started hacking on a ATermTable replacement, since ATermTable uses gigantic amounts of memory --- 65536 bytes per table at least --- which makes it unsuitable for representing short-lived substitution tables and attribute sets.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-03 17:29:48 +0000
d300b4383d* Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.

2006-05-02 21:58:46 +0000
68174bdc7d* Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of copying.

c791e94aee* Removed a bunch of ATreverses.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-02 17:51:50 +0000
b52e711910* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-02 17:12:03 +0000
11ae2d1e7a* Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().

2006-05-02 11:15:04 +0000
03162f8f47* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-04-25 10:45:53 +0000
ef2d4a2da9* Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the derivation dependency graph.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-24 14:02:44 +0000
b69e469328* In nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have the recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-23 16:43:07 +0000
05bb644890* Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,

2006-03-10 22:27:26 +0000
37d1b1cafd* nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of packages (provided that they have a meta.description' attribute). E.g.,
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-10 16:20:42 +0000
2b3b6c9b34* In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap re-allocations.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-10 16:14:13 +0000
4ada6db1fc* nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations to be queried, e.g., nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old nix-env -qa' now is nix-env -qa "*"'.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-10 10:24:46 +0000
9811815429* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.

2006-03-10 09:41:28 +0000
18c321308d* Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-09 17:07:25 +0000
b90c00e63f* Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.

2006-03-09 15:10:01 +0000
922697c8b2* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not "nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path. For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind). Some simple memoization fixes this.

2006-03-09 15:09:18 +0000
6dca5c9099* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-08 16:03:58 +0000
9088dee9e2* Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch Nix expression assertion failures.
Eelco Dolstra
2006-03-08 14:11:19 +0000
c8bfb11b34* `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths will be built or substituted.

2d54312f87* Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD). Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency).
