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.
2006-09-04	* Install header files in /nix/include/nix.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-14/+25

2006-09-04	* Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-9/+13

2006-09-04	* Don't need extern "C".	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+0

2006-09-04	* Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++	Eelco Dolstra	4	-276/+234
	marshalling code.
2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	61	-266/+648
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04	* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-5/+6

2006-09-01	* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+36
	and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01	* Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+7
	bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-09-01	* Fix race condition in the test.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-08-31	* Doh! Doh! Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-31	* Better error checking.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+6

2006-08-30	* Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+19

2006-08-30	* TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictly	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+4
	evaluate its arguments.
2006-08-30	* Uninitialised variable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-29	* Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+9
	a warning.
2006-08-29	* Fix the ~ operator.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-3/+24

2006-08-29	* Backwards compatibility test for ~.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-28	* In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21

2006-08-28	* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all	Eelco Dolstra	2	-139/+139
	derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
