2003-08-20 | * Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -20/+61 | |
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation. | |||||
2003-08-19 | * Pipe /dev/null into stdin. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+10 | |
2003-08-19 | * Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -1/+34 | |
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour. | |||||
2003-08-18 | * Allow lists in package bindings, e.g., | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+12 | |
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")]) The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing spaces). | |||||
2003-08-18 | * Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+5 | |
when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with some dummy value. | |||||
2003-08-18 | * Revision 300! | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -8/+8 | |
* Put `@' in front of echo's in the Makefile. | |||||
2003-08-18 | * No longer automatically download Berkeley DB / ATerm. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+10 | |
2003-08-15 | * Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -20/+61 | |
builder using the `args' binding: ("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")]) Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them in the argument list. | |||||
2003-08-15 | * Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -20/+56 | |
builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed hashes to change. | |||||
2003-08-15 | * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -5/+64 | |
store, and print its hash. | |||||
2003-08-15 | * Don't use a temporary file. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -9/+14 | |
2003-08-15 | * Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -'). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+17 | |
2003-08-14 | * Use a catalog when calling xsltproc. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+8 | |
2003-08-14 | * Use xmllint instead of nsgmls to validate the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -4/+5 | |
2003-08-14 | * Function application test cases. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -0/+27 | |
2003-08-14 | * Detect infinite loops using blackholing. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+14 | |
2003-08-14 | * Fix man page. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -3/+42 | |
2003-08-14 | * Function() takes a list of formals. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -4/+14 | |
2003-08-14 | * Lam -> Function. Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2003-08-13 | * Manual updates. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -14/+115 | |
2003-08-13 | * Put the pre-built manual and man pages in the tar distribution. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2003-08-13 | * Documented the `--query' operation. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -2/+232 | |
2003-08-13 | * Split the book.xml into several xml files. | Eelco Dolstra | 7 | -470/+481 | |
2003-08-12 | * Documented some Nix operations. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -10/+159 | |
2003-08-12 | * Generate man pages from the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -14/+92 | |
2003-08-08 | * deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+8 | |
when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it. So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents. | |||||
2003-08-07 | * Started on the introduction. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+189 | |
2003-08-07 | * Start of manual; installation instructions. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -4/+107 | |
2003-08-06 | * Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+7 | |
NAME'. E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn). | |||||
2003-08-06 | * `==' is not a valid operator. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2003-08-06 | * Scan for wget and use the full path in fetchurl.sh. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -2/+5 | |
* Use nix-hash (not md5sum) in fetchurl.sh. | |||||
2003-08-06 | * Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+4 | |
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock again without blocking or failing). (This might be dangerous, not sure). Necessary for fast builds to work. | |||||
2003-08-06 | * A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+7 | |
a regular file. I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems). | |||||
2003-08-06 | * App -> Call. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+8 | |
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1", False maps to ""). | |||||
2003-08-05 | * Conditionals. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+33 | |
2003-08-05 | * Made nix-push much faster. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -18/+33 | |
2003-08-05 | * Cache result of fstatePaths(). TODO: do this in fstore.cc. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+17 | |
2003-08-05 | * Made nix-pull much faster by performing all Fix instantiations at | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -14/+32 | |
the same time. | |||||
2003-08-05 | * Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions that | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -5/+19 | |
normalise to Nix expression. | |||||
2003-08-05 | * Delete obstructed paths prior to building. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+12 | |
2003-08-04 | * Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath(). | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -1/+16 | |
2003-08-01 | * In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -28/+44 | |
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash, either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running the garbage collector. | |||||
2003-08-01 | * Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -25/+18 | |
* Simplified realiseSlice(). | |||||
2003-08-01 | * normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -30/+151 | |
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber each other's builds. * Fixed a bug in `make install'. | |||||
2003-08-01 | * Don't use substitutes in addToStore(). | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -15/+21 | |
2003-07-31 | * Put the database verifier in a transaction. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -17/+23 | |
2003-07-31 | * Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions. | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -96/+145 | |
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not every time they are used. This is necessary because tables have to outlive all transactions that refer to them. | |||||
2003-07-31 | * Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+6 | |
* Checkpoint on exit. | |||||
2003-07-31 | * Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary for | Eelco Dolstra | 12 | -102/+251 | |
transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet). | |||||
2003-07-31 | * Set execute bit. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+0 | |
