2012-12-05	Fix RPM build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3436511
2012-12-05	Add release date	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-12-05	Support xz compression of nixexprs.tar in channels	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+9

2012-12-05	Produce an xz-compressed tarball	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Footnote: doing "make dist-gzip dist-xz" doesn't work with Automake; you have to do "make dist-gzip; dist-xz". That's because the dist-* targets delete the temporary distdir at the end.

2012-12-04	Test priorities	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+13

2012-12-04	buildenv.pl: Create symlinks in priority order	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+12
	This reduces unnecessary symlink/unlink steps.
2012-12-04	Add a test for ‘nix-env --set-flag active ...’	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+11

2012-12-04	nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	3	-32/+50
	If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
2012-12-03	Test the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2012-12-03	Fix the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+11

2012-12-03	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra	3	-60/+58

2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra	5	-45/+94
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-27	Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes	Eelco Dolstra	3	-11/+24
	This allows adding attributes like attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null; without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms. We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose, but using null seems more elegant.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra	6	-2/+18
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-26	queryMissing(): Handle partially valid derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+6

2012-11-26	Undo accidental debug change	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-26	Fix the multiple-outputs test	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2012-11-26	nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluation	Eelco Dolstra	5	-10/+17

2012-11-26	Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	4	-21/+77
	If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download those outputs that are actuallty needed. So if we do "nix-build -A openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded. Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}. The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the corresponding derivation goal if that happens.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	10	-20/+106
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-23	nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’	Eelco Dolstra	4	-17/+48

2012-11-20	nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	4	-10/+44
	This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.
2012-11-19	nix-store -r: Don't quietly ignore missing paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-11-15	Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
	This reverts commit 2980d1fba97069805c3649c5d99d0356bce6c303. It causes a regression in NixOS evaluation: string `/nix/store/ya3s5gmj3b28170fpbjhgsk8wzymkpa1-pommed-1.39/etc/pommed.conf' cannot refer to other paths
2012-11-15	Disable use of vfork()	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.
2012-11-15	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra	5	-30/+34
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-15	Add some debug code	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra	6	-22/+51
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09	Remove definition of non-existant function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2012-11-09	Remove some redundant close() calls	Eelco Dolstra	3	-18/+8
	They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra	4	-18/+8

2012-11-09	Remove a Darwin hack that should no longer be needed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0

2012-11-09	Manual: Don't use a store path in our closure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+14
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3313227
2012-11-09	Fix a segfault when auto-calling a "a@{...}" function	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	Since the called function can return its argument attribute set (e.g. "a"), the latter should not be allocated on the stack. Reported by Shea.
2012-11-09	Don't start copy-from-other-stores if $NIX_OTHER_STORES is unset	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Slight optimisation.
2012-11-09	Remove unnecessary call to closeMostFDs()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	We have close-on-exec on all FDs now, and there is no security risk in passing open FDs to substituters anyway.
2012-11-09	Use a shorter Nixpkgs channel URL	Eelco Dolstra	4	-4/+4

2012-11-09	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+34

2012-11-06	download-from-binary-cache: Try next cache if downloading a NAR fails	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-11-06	Process binary caches in order of priority	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+25
	Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06	Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache format	Eelco Dolstra	2	-77/+341

2012-11-06	nix-push: Handle pushing a symlink	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2012-11-06	Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+14
	This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
2012-11-06	Fix "Not an ARRAY reference" error	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602). Ah well.
