Eelco Dolstra d84931ee56 * Changed nix-pull to match nix-push. 2003-07-21 22:05:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c7bdb76fe4 * Syntax fixes.
* When pushing, put the hash in the file name so that the 
  client can verify (proof-carrying file names?).
2003-07-21 21:34:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d5ee6f8700 * In `--query --generators', print out paths, not ids.
(There should really be a switch for this).
2003-07-21 21:31:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2616e6a6f3 * Check for errors. 2003-07-21 20:58:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f4ad99e92 * Canonicalise path. 2003-07-21 20:58:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 249988a787 * Allow the output/expression id to be forced to a certain
value; this potentially dangerous feature enables better 
  sharing for those paths for which the content is known in 
  advance (e.g., because a content hash is given).
* Fast builds: if we can expand all output paths of a derive 
  expression, we don't have to build.
2003-07-21 20:07:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49231fbe41 * Changes to the command line syntax of Nix.
* A function to find all Nix expressions whose output ids are
  completely contained in some set.  Useful for uploading relevant Nix
  expressions to a shared cache.
2003-07-21 14:46:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 401452e57a * Memoize the evaluation of Fix expressions to speed up computation. 2003-07-21 08:55:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7984cfc7c1 * Argh, another short-write problem. Added wrappers around
read()/write() to fix this once and for all.
2003-07-20 21:11:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 667a6afb9d * Remove accidentally added file. 2003-07-20 19:30:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f1a0f948d * Refactorings. 2003-07-20 19:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab350eafd2 * Generate nar.sh, fetchurl.sh. 2003-07-18 07:42:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b3fc38bf6a * For debugging: `nix --verify' to check the consistency of the
database and store.
2003-07-17 12:27:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71cc3ceae5 * Preserve the executable bit. 2003-07-17 11:25:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 54664b6fb7 * The write() system call can write less than the requested
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP.  
  This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes.

  Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix 
  --dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero 
  exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline.  
  Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements
  in the pipeline?  (In other words, is it at all possible to 
  write reliable shell scripts?)
2003-07-16 21:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 335aa1c35d * Doh! 2003-07-16 20:49:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6822fd7bf4 * Bug fix: slices are transitive, so if we detect that an
input path is referenced in an output paths, we also have to 
  add all ids referenced by that input path.
* Better debug assertions to catch these sorts of errors.
2003-07-16 20:33:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d56ca219f * Substitute fixes. 2003-07-16 20:00:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b9ecadee6e * Fix the -qr query. 2003-07-16 11:05:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c11bbcfd26 * Fix self-referential outputs.
* Fix -qp query.
2003-07-16 08:30:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d41d085b77 * Get Fix and Nix to work again. 2003-07-15 22:28:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7b3f44e05b * The new normaliser now passes the unit tests. 2003-07-15 21:24:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f5b6fa5256 * Basic work on allowing derive expressions to build multiple paths.
This is not entirely trivial since this introduces the possibility
  of mutual recursion.
* Made normal forms self-contained.
* Use unique ids, not content hashes, for content referencing.
2003-07-15 16:28:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8898e86b4f * Get the garbage collector to work again. 2003-07-14 10:45:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3509299aca * After building, scan for actual file system references as
opposed to declared references.  This prunes the reference
  graph, thus allowing better garbage collection and more
  efficient derivate distribution.
2003-07-14 10:23:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 135b7d54db * Don't check for staleness by default. 2003-07-13 21:43:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e6363b05ae * Pass $(prefix) and other variables through -D..., not
through config.h, to prevent silly Autoconf problems.
2003-07-13 19:26:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c620e4afa * Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefix
etc. correctly.
* Fixed nix-switch.
2003-07-13 18:58:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5304a1eb3a * Fetchurl: check md5 checksum. 2003-07-12 11:03:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73b163c1a1 * Fix a bug that caused Fix not to be deterministic (due to addToStore
returning different paths if the hash of the path to be added was
  already available in the store under a different name).
2003-07-11 08:41:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c834a5c597 * Fix handling of pipes (read(2) may not return the required
number of bytes in one call).
2003-07-11 08:16:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 822c072cfa * Compress Nix archives when pushing them. 2003-07-10 20:34:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9bcc31c941 * Working derivate sharing. 2003-07-10 20:13:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 81304a6bb5 * Convert tabs to spaces. 2003-07-10 19:27:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e5fbf58041 * A command to register successor fstate expressions.
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now,
  since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is
  known.  Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a
  substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was
  missing.
2003-07-10 18:48:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8511571f65 * Performance enhancement. 2003-07-10 15:24:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d1c3691d2 * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
  `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.

  This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
  substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
  fstate expression.  For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
  that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
  them, but any other method is possible as well.  This is an
  improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
  (fetching through `wget') built in.

  The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
  from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
  Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
  substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.
2003-07-10 15:11:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d072485d28 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar).
* queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying
  the target path (which may be empty).
* Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix.  TODO: bootstrap
  Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.
2003-07-10 13:41:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d4b90b689 * Actually go through the search directories when looking for files. 2003-07-10 09:21:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 089b436175 * Deleted the sys directory. 2003-07-10 09:12:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b96239c657 * Moved the fetchutl package to corepkgs. 2003-07-10 09:11:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ebd78144a * Added a directory for standard Fix descriptors. 2003-07-10 09:09:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6011bd0da2 * Outline of the new scheme for derivate distribution. 2003-07-09 16:12:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b95a9dc05 * When computing the set of paths referenced by an expression, also
include the paths of the subterms.
2003-07-09 15:02:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9a99dc736d * Canonicalise paths so that Fix produces identical Nix
expressions for identical inputs.
2003-07-08 20:26:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cab3f4977a * A path canonicaliser that doesn't depend on the existence of paths
(i.e., it doesn't use realpath(3), which is broken in any case).
  Therefore it doesn't resolve symlinks.
2003-07-08 19:58:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 333f4963de * The output of a Derive() node is not a referenced path. 2003-07-08 15:33:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40274c1f4f * A command to query the paths referenced by an fstate expression.
* Use a temporary directory for build actions.
2003-07-08 13:22:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a279137327 * Get --dump' and --delete' to work again. 2003-07-08 10:00:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 85a913a3e7 * Renamed id' -> name' to remove the implication of uniqueness. 2003-07-08 09:59:00 +00:00
