conditional expression in the blacklist can specify when to
continue/stop a traversal. For example, in
<condition>
<within>
<traverse>
<not><hasAttr name='outputHash' value='.+' /></not>
</traverse>
<hasAttr name='outputHash' value='ef1cb003448b4a53517b8f25adb12452' />
</within>
</condition>
we traverse the dependency graph, not following the dependencies of
`fetchurl' derivations (as indicated by the presence of an
`outputHash' attribute - this is a bit ugly). The resulting set of
paths is scanned for a fetch of a file with the given hash, in this
case, the hash of zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz (which has a security bug). The
intent is that a dependency on zlib is not a problem if it is in a
`fetchurl' derivation, since that's build-time only. (Other
build-time uses of zlib *might* be a problem, e.g., static linking.)

occurances of a component. If the shortest path distance between a
component P and Q in the referers graph is D, then the contribution
of Q to the use of P is 1 / R^D, where R >= 1, typically 2. This
expresses that distant indirect uses are less important than nearby
uses.
For instance, this can disambiguate between the bootstrap GCC in
Nixpkgs and the GCC of the final stdenv (the former has more uses,
but they are further away), and between the GCC of the final stdenv
and the GCC+G77 build (the latter has very few uses).

the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming
the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with
`nix-install-package').
Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a
pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be
added to the user environment. This makes these packages
independent from Nix expression evolution.
Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the
resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that
installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output
path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for
maintenance.

too.
* Change the default hash for nix-prefetch-url back to md5, since
that's what we use in Nixpkgs (for now; a birthday attack is rather
unlikely there).

continue building when one fails unless `--keep-going' is

* When `--keep-going' is specified, print out the set of failing

multiple times is also a top-level goal, then the second and later
instantiations would never be created because there would be a
stable pointer to the first one that would keep it alive in the
WeakGoalMap.

of the given derivation. Useful for getting a quick overview of how
something was built. E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in
your user environment was built, you can do
$ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle))
Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths
under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).

$ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv
or
$ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1
This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
entirely. For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
dependencies).

install derivations from a Nix expression specified on the command
line. This is particularly useful for disambiguation if there are
multiple derivations with the same name. For instance, in Nixpkgs,
to install the Firefox wrapper rather than the plain Firefox
component:
$ nix-env -f .../i686-linux.nix -i -E 'x: x.firefoxWrapper'
The Nix expressions should be functions to which the default Nix
expression (in this case, `i686-linux.nix') is passed, hence `x:
...'.
This might also be a nice way to deal with high-level (user-level)
variability, e.g.,
$ nix-env -f ./server.nix -i -E 'x: x {port = 8080; ssl = false;}'

to derivations in user environments. Nice for developers (since it
prevents build-time-only dependencies from being GC'ed, in
conjunction with `gc-keep-outputs'). Turned off by default.

* Set the references for the user environment manifest properly.
* Don't copy the manifest (this was accidental).
* Don't store derivation paths in the manifest (maybe this should be
made optional). This cleans up the semantics of nix-env, which were
weird.
* Hash on the output paths of activated components, not on derivation
paths. This is because we don't know the derivation path of already
installed components anymore, and it allows the installation of
components by store path (skipping Nix expressions entirely).
* Query options `--out-path' and `--drv-path' to show the output and
derivation paths of components, respectively (the latter replaces
the `--expr' query).

* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push.
* Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path).
* Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.

that the contents of store paths has not changed by comparing hashes
of their current contents to the hashes stored in the database.

* Use force flag in `mv' to prevent silly interactive questions (this
happens with shared Nix stores).

for finding build-time dependencies (possibly after a build). E.g.,
$ nix-store -qb aterm $(nix-store -qd $(which strc))
/nix/store/jw7c7s65n1gwhxpn35j9rgcci6ilzxym-aterm-2.3.1
* Arguments to nix-store can be files within store objects, e.g.,
/nix/store/jw7c...-aterm-2.3.1/bin/baffle.
* Idem for garbage collector roots.
