* Documented nix-{pack,unpack}-closure.
2006-09-27 * Fix setuid builds.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+9
2006-09-27 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-84/+131
2006-09-27 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra2-42/+100
2006-09-26 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-09-25 * Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
for packages that should be propagated to the user environment.
2006-09-25 * Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinkedEelco Dolstra1-14/+39
*after* the packages that have been explicitly installed, and collisions are ignored.
2006-09-25 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properlyEelco Dolstra2-2/+12
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-25 * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store atEelco Dolstra2-2/+21
a different location than the user's. This makes channels usable as a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under non-standard prefixes. (NIX-57)
2006-09-25 * Clean up calls to system().Eelco Dolstra8-26/+26
2006-09-25 * Use builtins.toPath.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-09-24 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-handEelco Dolstra2-4/+13
side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24 * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.Eelco Dolstra3-7/+30
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24 * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.Eelco Dolstra4-6/+22
2006-09-24 * lessThan primitive for integer comparison.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+13
2006-09-22 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.Eelco Dolstra11-26/+68
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+29
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22 * Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail ofEelco Dolstra3-0/+39
list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check forEelco Dolstra3-0/+27
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)
2006-09-22 * Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not readingEelco Dolstra1-9/+26
regular files into memory all at once.
2006-09-22 * Supply the 64-bit ATerm patch, but don't apply it (since thatEelco Dolstra2-1/+664
requires rerunning Autoconf/Automake). Interested users should do that themselves.
2006-09-22 * Don't allocate the buffer twice.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+9
2006-09-22 * Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+7
2006-09-22 * Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytesEelco Dolstra1-0/+5
(NIX-22).
2006-09-21 * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+10
2006-09-21 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).Eelco Dolstra10-37/+152
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
2006-09-21 * Fix comment.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+1
2006-09-21 * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2006-09-20 * Shut up a warning.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-09-20 * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).Eelco Dolstra2-5/+5
* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20 * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49).Eelco Dolstra3-4/+16
2006-09-20 * Check for patch (NIX-59).Eelco Dolstra2-2/+3
2006-09-20 * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-09-20 * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generatesEelco Dolstra1-10/+17
NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help.
2006-09-19 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-09-19 * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+9
* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
2006-09-19 * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linkingEelco Dolstra1-16/+40
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
2006-09-19 * Cleanups.Eelco Dolstra1-19/+12
2006-09-19 * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount ofEelco Dolstra2-1/+73
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the average size). $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default gcc 11 3.3.6 19293318 3.4.4 21425257 ... average 14942970, waste 149429707 coreutils 6 ... average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space of the Nix approach.
2006-09-14 * Wow, that bug has been there since r764.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-09-14 * nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /Eelco Dolstra1-0/+9
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely unlikely) race conditions.
2006-09-14 * Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector.Eelco Dolstra3-22/+26
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff) it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink chain in ~/.nix-profile... * Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big garbage collector lock..."). * Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.
2006-09-12 * "Too many links" error.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+40
2006-09-11 * Support `++'.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+14
* More follow restrictions on layout.
2006-09-08 * Remove debug message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2006-09-06 * Release notes.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+29
2006-09-06 * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removesEelco Dolstra1-2/+42
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff. Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after this.
2006-09-05 * Package the include directory.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-09-05 * Missing #include.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-09-05 * Sone missing #includes.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+3
