2006-10-28 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, ifEelco Dolstra5-4/+60
available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.

2006-10-19 * Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix toEelco Dolstra1-0/+31
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though.

2006-10-17 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to passEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
non-store paths to a builder.

2006-10-17 * Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+6
2006-10-16 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, stringEelco Dolstra17-391/+326
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
