2007-12-30	* Fix the hashDerivationModulo test. I should really investigate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4
	why the test failed...

	* Release notes.
2007-12-30	* Don't use "store expression", it's obsolete.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-12-30	Added a way to include derivation with its outputs and dependencies - ↵	Michael Raskin	1	-0/+38
	exportBuildReferenceGraph
2007-12-14	* Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+14
	builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-12-14	* Another insane Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14

2007-12-14	* Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: `echo -n foo' suddenly prints `-n foo'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	instead of `foo' without a newline (with /bin/sh, not /bin/bash, even though /bin/sh is also bash...). So use printf instead.
2007-12-13	* Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2007-12-12	small udpate	Marc Weber	1	-4/+4

2007-12-10	corrected --help message for nix-store a bit	Michael Raskin	1	-2/+7

2007-12-10	Very basic nix vim syntax highlighting	Marc Weber	1	-0/+35

2007-12-06	* Syntax to escape '', ${.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+20

2007-12-04	* component -> package.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-98/+97

2007-11-30	* Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two	Eelco Dolstra	6	-3/+234
	single quotes. Example (from NixOS): job = '' start on network-interfaces start script rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver ${if videoDriver == "nvidia" then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver" else if cfg.driSupport then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver" else "" } rm -f /var/log/slim.log end script ''; This style has two big advantages: - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS. The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as ""). ${ is also fairly rare. Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <\|...\|> were also considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks (thanks Martin). - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in generated files (which sometimes even breaks things). See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
2007-11-29	* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say	Eelco Dolstra	7	-50/+81
	$ nix-env -e $(which firefox) or $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132 * nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store. This allows things like $ nix-build -A firefox $ nix-env -i ./result * nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `' selector doesn't match anything. In particular, `nix-env -q \' doesn't fail anymore on an empty profile.
2007-11-29	* Troubleshooting entry about running out of locks.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+43

2007-11-21	* New primop `readFile' to get the contents of a file as a string.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-0/+23

2007-11-16	* Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.	Eelco Dolstra	9	-6/+23
	* queryDeriver in daemon mode: don't barf if the other side returns an empty string (which means there is no deriver).
2007-11-16	* nix-store --import: add a flag --require-signature.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7

2007-11-15	* nix-build: pass --argstr to nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2007-11-15	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2007-11-15	* Don't need gc.hh.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+2

2007-11-15	* Add build-remote.pl to the Nix distribution.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+211

2007-11-15	Added possibility to specify garbage collection levels for store paths; so ↵	Michael Raskin	2	-4/+21
	packages can share intermediate results of compilation and GC will collect it automatically while never touching tarballs, for example.
2007-11-05	* nix-prefetch-url: don't fail if /tmp/nix-prefetch-url-<pid> exists,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+23
	instead use a counter just like we do for temporary build directories.
2007-11-01	* A rule to make a PDF version of the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+9

2007-11-01	* Documented some of the more obscure derivation attributes (including	Eelco Dolstra	3	-14/+250
	fixed-output derivations).
2007-10-31	* Documented multi-user Nix.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-46/+274

2007-10-29	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	4	-1/+133

2007-10-29	* Make the `--prebuilt-only' / `-b' option work not just for queries	Eelco Dolstra	3	-17/+24
	but installations/upgrades as well. So `nix-env -ub \*' will upgrade only those packages for which a substitute is available (or to be precise, it will upgrade each package to the highest version for which a substitute is available).
2007-10-29	* Depend on bash instead of sh (since we use a few bashisms).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-10-29	* On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+12

2007-10-27	* Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+26

2007-10-27	* Delete the chroot directory automatically.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-19/+80
	* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27	* Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder is	Eelco Dolstra	3	-16/+162
	executed in a chroot that contains just the Nix store, the temporary build directory, and a configurable set of additional directories (/dev and /proc by default). This allows a bit more purity enforcement: hidden build-time dependencies on directories such as /usr or /nix/var/nix/profiles are no longer possible. As an added benefit, accidental network downloads (cf. NIXPKGS-52) are prevented as well (because files such as /etc/resolv.conf are not available in the chroot). However the usefulness of chroots is diminished by the fact that many builders depend on /bin/sh, so you need /bin in the list of additional directories. (And then on non-NixOS you need /lib as well...)
2007-10-26	* "trace" primop: write the trace to standard error.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+7

2007-10-24	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2007-10-23	* Improved introduction (actually copied mostly from the homepage).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-126/+312

2007-10-22	* Document the new primops in Nix 0.11.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+164

2007-10-22	* Move list of built-in functions to a separate file.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-584/+592

2007-10-22	Added comment telling about setup-hook and propagatedBuildInputs	Marc Weber	1	-3/+12

2007-10-10	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-10-10	* Doh! Don't change the permissions on /nix/store.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2007-10-10	* nix-store --optimise: flag "--dry-run" to just query what the disk	Eelco Dolstra	2	-18/+26
	savings would be.
2007-10-09	* New command `nix-store --optimise' to reduce Nix store disk space	Eelco Dolstra	5	-99/+188
	usage by finding identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. This is what the optimise-store.pl script did, but the new command is faster and more correct (it's safe wrt garbage collection and concurrent builds).
2007-10-09	* listToAttrs: the list now should consist of {name, value} attribute	Eelco Dolstra	1	-28/+29
	sets instead of {attr, value}. "name" is better than "attr" because the combination of the two forms the attribute.
