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.
2012-11-06	canonicalizePathMetaData: Fall-back to utimes if lutimes fails due to ENOSYS	Shea Levy	1	-0/+2

2012-10-23	If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+10
	Fixes #57.
2012-10-23	nix-prefetch-url: Improve option handling	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+42

2012-10-23	prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path	Shea Levy	1	-1/+3

2012-10-18	nix-push: Add a flag ‘--manifest-path’ to write the manifest to another ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	directory
2012-10-17	nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files in the store, rather than copying them. This is faster and requires less disk space. However, it doesn't work if the store is on a different file system.
2012-10-17	nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist	Eelco Dolstra	6	-65/+107
	This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist in the binary cache.
