* Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build

hooks for silence. It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
command is already monitoring the real build.

* While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.
...
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the
`max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a
long garbage collection to finish. This happens fairly often in the
Hydra build farm.

* Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisory
...
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics
sufficiently. Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin
1.5 anymore.

* Don't consider a store path valid if its info file exists but is

zero bytes long. That makes Nix more robust in case of crashes

* Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are

multiple paths specified on the command line (from O(n * m) to O(n +
m), where n is the number of arguments and m is the size of the
closure).

* Disable gzip compression in build-remote.pl because it puts too much
...
load on the Hydra build farm (where it's unnecessary anyway because
it has a fast connection to the build machines). In any case,
compression can be enabled by using the `-C' option to ssh.

* Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
...
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
(This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
to fail.)

less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first

* `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
...
root symlink, not just its target. E.g.:
/nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 17:23:12 +00:00

c364d5d1e3
* Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
...
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in
the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths
almost immediately.

8824d60fe5
* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
...
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it
...
doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests
directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull,
resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan
Pedro Bolívar Puente.
