2006-09-27	* Fix setuid builds.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+9

2006-09-27	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-84/+131

2006-09-27	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-42/+100

2006-09-26	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-09-25	* Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	for packages that should be propagated to the user environment.
2006-09-25	* Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinked	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 properly	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 at	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	8	-26/+26

2006-09-25	* Use builtins.toPath.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-24	* The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	3	-7/+30
	* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24	* Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-6/+22

2006-09-24	* lessThan primitive for integer comparison.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+13

2006-09-22	* Builtin function `add' to add integers.	Eelco Dolstra	11	-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 Dolstra	3	-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 of	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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 for	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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 reading	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+26
	regular files into memory all at once.
2006-09-22	* Supply the 64-bit ATerm patch, but don't apply it (since that	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+664
	requires rerunning Autoconf/Automake). Interested users should do that themselves.
2006-09-22	* Don't allocate the buffer twice.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9

2006-09-22	* Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-09-22	* Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	(NIX-22).
2006-09-21	* GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10

2006-09-21	* `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).	Eelco Dolstra	10	-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 Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2006-09-21	* Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-09-20	* Shut up a warning.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-09-20	* Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5
	* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20	* Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+16

2006-09-20	* Check for patch (NIX-59).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+3

2006-09-20	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-09-20	* Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+17
	NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help.
2006-09-19	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-09-19	* Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9
	* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
2006-09-19	* `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-19/+12

2006-09-19	* `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-14	* nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	3	-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 Dolstra	1	-0/+40

2006-09-11	* Support `++'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+14
	* More follow restrictions on layout.
2006-09-08	* Remove debug message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2006-09-06	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+29

2006-09-06	* Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-09-05	* Missing #include.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-09-05	* Sone missing #includes.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+3

2006-09-04	* Move setuid stuff to libutil.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-142/+146
	* Install libexpr header files.
