412914d004 * Read manifests directly into the database, rather than first reading
them into memory.  This brings memory use down to (more or less)
  O(1).  For instance, on my test case, the maximum resident size of
  download-using-manifests while filling the DB went from 142 MiB to
  11 MiB.

3cbf680f5d * configure: detect whether DBD::SQLite is present. If necessary the
location to DBI and DBD::SQLite can be passed with --with-dbi and
  --with-dbd-sqlite.

83252b4ca9 * Subtle bug: if you import File::stat in one module, it affects other
modules as well.  So use symbolic field names everywhere (which is
  nicer anyway).

5591fcc529 * Cache the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests in a SQLite database.
This significantly speeds up the download-using-manifests
  substituter, especially if manifests are very large.  For instance,
  one "nix-build -A geeqie" operation that updated four packages using
  binary patches went from 18.5s to 1.6s.  It also significantly
  reduces memory use.

  The cache is kept in /nix/var/nix/manifests/cache.sqlite.  It's
  updated automatically when manifests are added to or removed from
  /nix/var/nix/manifests.  It might be interesting to have nix-pull
  store manifests directly in the DB, rather than storing them as
  separate flat files, but then we would need a command line interface
  to delete manifests from the DB.

1e7e4f21ba * Remove the localPaths feature in manifests since it's no longer used
and redundant anyway.

538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.

collector.

1876ab764f * A better fix. $boehmgc isn't set anywhere, we should use the flags
returned by pkg-config.

(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/890714), so don't build with GC
  support for now.

d6c8b995c5 * In Hydra manifests the Size field is missing, so don't rely on it.
This caused a lot of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings from
  Perl.

f1a6b97639 * nix-copy-closure: make sure that the shell doesn't do globbing of
`+' and `?' in filenames.  This is very slow if /nix/store is very
  large.  (This is a quick hack - a cleaner solution would be to
  bypass the shell entirely.)

3dd02580e3 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). So
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath()
  is simply a wrapper around it.

d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.

542fc69062 * When doing a query (e.g. `nix-store -r --dry-run'), don't make a lot
of expensive calls to `nix-store --check-validity'.

7d0444e244 * Bad things happen when a filehandle has the same name as a module. 2010-12-07 12:33:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8062d3af30 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lock
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
  long time to finish.  Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
  while doing this.

de79d23f76 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
  returned to resolve deadlocks.  This should get rid of random
  "database is locked" errors.  This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
  be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
  commit might not succeed.

77f7a6d591 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiff
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s).  On one 86 MiB
  case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.
