2005-07-16 * Define paths using regexps, as is done in the Flex definition.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+2
2005-07-16 * Make the rejects a bit more compact.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+2
* Add lexical restrictions for keywords.
2005-07-16 * Fix ambiguity.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2005-07-16 * Revive and update the SDF grammar for Nix expressions.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+149
2005-07-13 * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.Eelco Dolstra3-29/+43
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.
2005-07-12 * Add curl to the RPM dependencies. Should fix NIX-11.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2005-07-12 * In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have argumentsEelco Dolstra1-0/+17
with default values automatically. I.e., e -> e {}. This feature makes convenience expressions such as pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a default value (__thisSystem).
2005-06-18 * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can'tEelco Dolstra1-1/+13
handle it. It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive. Probably we will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't there).
2005-05-18 * Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra4-0/+29
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the attributes named `x' and `y' removed. It is not an error for the named attributes to be missing from the input set.
2005-05-10 * Ignore (with a warning) invalid garbage collector roots.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+6
2005-05-10 * Some svn:ignores.Eelco Dolstra0-0/+0
2005-05-10 * Another typo.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-05-10 * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundantEelco Dolstra2-16/+38
unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths.
2005-05-10 * Typo.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-05-09 * Handle store path arguments in `nix-env -i' correctly again.Eelco Dolstra1-9/+30
2005-05-09 * Use Berkeley DB 4.3.38.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2005-05-09 * Automatically upgrade the Berkeley DB environment if necessary.Eelco Dolstra2-106/+133
2005-05-09 * Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, sinceEelco Dolstra2-5/+5
they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences (e.g., on Subversion).
2005-05-08 * Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. ThisEelco Dolstra1-40/+63
makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g., `nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).
2005-05-08 * ATermMap needs an assignment operator, otherwise we are screwed.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+36
2005-05-07 Commit 3000!Eelco Dolstra1-7/+23
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy. The expression `derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially) attrs // { type = "derivation"; outPath = derivation! attrs; drvPath = derivation! attrs; } where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do). The advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and `nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute. (However, `nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes). Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other, for example, webServer = derivation { ... hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl"; services = [svnService]; }; svnService = derivation { ... hostName = webServer.hostName; }; Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).
2005-05-07 * Don't try to register GC roots in read-only mode.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2005-05-07 * Build .tar.bz2 files in `make dist'.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+2
2005-05-06 * Mac OS X (and POSIX) doesn't have readlink.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-05-04 * Include some required header files.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+4
2005-05-04 * FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which isEelco Dolstra3-3/+3
also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04 * Idem (constness fix).Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
* `compare' in GCC 2.95 is broken.
2005-05-04 * GCC 2.95 compatibility fix in constness; strangely, I think thisEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
should not have worked at all.
2005-05-04 * GCC 2.95 compatibility. Prevents internal compiler error in memberEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
template friends.
2005-05-04 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
compatibility fix.
2005-05-04 * Use `$(MAKE)' instead of `make' for systems where `make' isn't GNUEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
make (such as FreeBSD).
2005-05-02 * Merge remaining stuff from the nix-make branch.Eelco Dolstra22-0/+347
* Add support for the creation of shared libraries to `compileC', `link', and `makeLibrary'. * Enable the ATerm library to be made into a shared library.
2005-05-02 * Merging from nix-make branch:Eelco Dolstra1-6/+40
- Add __currentTime primitive (dangerous!). - Allow imports of derivations.
2005-05-01 * Be quiet when untarring a channel file.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-04-13 * Remove redundant message.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+0
2005-04-12 * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of theEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
`--isvalid' flag in nix-store.
2005-04-12 * Garbage collector fix: allow deletion of paths that have invalidEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
(but substitutable) referers.
2005-04-12 * Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in theEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot be reconstructed fully).
2005-04-11 * Bump the version number to 0.9.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-04-11 * Mark date.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1

2005-04-10 * Manual updates.Eelco Dolstra10-786/+813
2005-04-10 * Primop `__currentSystem' to return the current platform identifier.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+14
2005-04-09 * NEWS.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+5
2005-04-09 * Document nix-channel.Eelco Dolstra7-17/+108
2005-04-08 * nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'.Eelco Dolstra6-8/+8
2005-04-08 * Lots of manual updates, in particular the new `nix-store --query'Eelco Dolstra11-177/+465
options were documented, as well as the Nix configuration file.
2005-04-08 * Make `nix-store --query --tree' work on non-derivations (i.e., onEelco Dolstra1-15/+13
any store path).
2005-04-08 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2005-04-07 * More doc updates.Eelco Dolstra2-53/+88
