2006-08-23 * New primop: abort "error message".Eelco Dolstra4-2/+12
2006-08-23 * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containingEelco Dolstra3-0/+39
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

2006-08-22 * Revert unintentional commit.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-22 * Urgh (see NIX-56).Eelco Dolstra2-8/+10
2006-08-21 * Convert to DocBook 5.Eelco Dolstra24-303/+369
* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2006-08-17 * Distribute *.exp.xml.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-17 * Test for `nix-instantiate --eval-only --xml'.Eelco Dolstra4-1/+68
2006-08-17 * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary orderEelco Dolstra1-9/+22
produced by ATermMap. Necessary for testing. * `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets andEelco Dolstra2-46/+91
so on. * Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XMLEelco Dolstra5-13/+82
representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-16 * Meh.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-08-16 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+14
2006-08-16 * A test for NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+18
2006-08-15 On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or worldMartin Bravenboer1-0/+2
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled on Cygwin.
2006-08-14 * Put the value in an attribute.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
2006-08-11 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the storeEelco Dolstra2-5/+19
objects that would be freed.
2006-08-11 * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder areEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
valid.
2006-08-10 * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the defaultEelco Dolstra2-0/+17
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in parallel). Useful on multi-processor machines.
2006-08-09 * file:/ -> file://Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-09 * Fix the help message wrt --attr.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-09 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2006-08-08 rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. DefaultArmijn Hemel1-4/+4
values are not changed.
2006-08-07 * Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-07 * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision betweenEelco Dolstra3-5/+7
environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case insensitive).
2006-08-05 add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we ↵Armijn Hemel1-0/+3
have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on
2006-08-05 prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts.Armijn Hemel2-0/+4
2006-08-04 * Fix a few warnings.Eelco Dolstra4-5/+5
2006-08-04 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-08-04 * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
2006-08-04 * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+2
2006-08-03 * `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easierEelco Dolstra3-25/+82
automated processing.
2006-08-03 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that theEelco Dolstra4-60/+81
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03 * Simple class for writing XML files.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+161
2006-08-03 urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC!Armijn Hemel1-1/+1
2006-08-01 * Better error checking.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-08-01 add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. ThisArmijn Hemel1-0/+9
is only for local copies (so file:///)
2006-08-01 * Ugh. Darwin's chmod insists that flags come before the modeEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
specification.
2006-08-01 * Show some progress.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra8-32/+58
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco Dolstra3-3/+37
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()Eelco Dolstra9-119/+170
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of aEelco Dolstra3-7/+28
top-level function.
2006-07-25 * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch atEelco Dolstra4-15/+37
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-25 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-07-25 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,Eelco Dolstra3-3/+27
e.g., $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
2006-07-24 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra4-13/+40
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24 * `touch' might not be in $PATH.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2006-07-24 * Tests for domain checks.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+15
