2003-08-28	* nix-push generated invalid (old-style) slices.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3
	* nar.sh needs a path.
2003-08-25	* Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+9
	`nix --query --requisites'.
2003-08-25	* Don't continue when the call to nix fails.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+11

2003-08-22	* Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+52
	* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
2003-08-22	* Some work on the introduction.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+117

2003-08-20	* Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of	Eelco Dolstra	5	-105/+86
	slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
2003-08-20	* Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as	Eelco Dolstra	4	-61/+59
	keys to reference slice elements, e.g., Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...]) This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations. Therefore we now have: Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...]) * Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice elements to be duplicated.
2003-08-20	* Bumped the version number to 0.3.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

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.
