96de272b48 * Renamed normalise.cc' -> build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
  they have been built/added.  This is so that we can check whether
  the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
  holds.

a69534fc21 * Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions. 2004-10-29 11:22:49 +00:00

818047881e * Put the garbage collector in nix-store: operation `--gc',
suboperations `--print-live', `--print-dead', and `--delete'.  The
  roots are not determined by nix-store; they are read from standard
  input.  This is to make it easy to customise what the roots are.

  The collector now no longer fails when store expressions are missing
  (which legally happens when using substitutes).  It never tries to
  fetch paths through substitutes.

  TODO: acquire a global lock on the store while garbage collecting.
  
* Removed `nix-store --delete'.

41ec982f31 * Big refactoring. Move to a much more explicitly state machine based
approach.  This makes it much easier to add extra complexity in the
  normaliser / realiser (e.g., build hooks, substitutes).

c8d3882cdc * True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch).  This is
  useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds
  on multiple machines.  The idea is that a large derivation is
  initiated on one master machine, which then distributes
  sub-derivations to any number of slave machines.  This should not
  happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable
  of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs.  We now have the
  infrastructure to support this.

  TODO: substitutes are currently broken.

5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
