2005-10-06 * Only colorise if we are attached to a terminal.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2005-10-06 * New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installedEelco Dolstra2-19/+89
versions to available versions, or vice versa. For example, the following compares installed versions to available versions: $ nix-env -qc autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6 f-spot-0.0.10 - ? firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7 ... I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and F-Spot is missing altogether. Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed versions: $ nix-env -qac autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4 bash-3.0 - ? firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4 ... Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed. If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `< 1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'. If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in red (using ANSI escape codes).

2005-09-21 * Remove other uses of IPC::Open2.Eelco Dolstra1-20/+8
2005-09-21 * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. IfEelco Dolstra1-8/+2
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead. This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).

2005-08-14 * `dependencyClosure' now allows a search path, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra5-33/+90
dependencyClosure { ... searchPath = [ ../foo ../bar ]; ... } * Primop `dirOf' to return the directory part of a path (e.g., dirOf /a/b/c == /a/b). * Primop `relativise' (according to Webster that's a real word!) that given paths A and B returns a string representing path B relative path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".
2005-08-14 * A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependencyEelco Dolstra6-30/+147
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C file) in Nix low-level builds automatically. For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows: localIncludes = dependencyClosure { scanner = file: import (findIncludes { inherit file; }); startSet = [main]; }; The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings representing relative paths). For instance, when `scanner' is called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line #include "../bar/fnord.h" then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"]. This list of dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added to the set of dependencies. The process continues until no more dependencies are found (hence its a closure). `dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start file, e.g., [ /bla/bla/foo.c "foo.c" /bla/bar/fnord.h "../bar/fnord.h" ] These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by foo.c. The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have actually changed. The old approach rescanned every time.
