2006-03-01 * Generate valid HTML.Eelco Dolstra1-15/+22
2006-03-01 * Remove dead code.Eelco Dolstra1-30/+0
2006-03-01 * Simplification.Eelco Dolstra21-67/+77
2006-03-01 * Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line.Eelco Dolstra23-33/+78
2006-02-24 * Remove debug statement.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+0
2006-02-24 * A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base orEelco Dolstra1-0/+77
target no longer applies to any available release. This is a partial fix for NIX-34 (when producing linear patch sequences between releases, the number of patches grows without bound).
2006-02-24 * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-02-22 * Aha!Eelco Dolstra1-3/+2
2006-02-22 * WTF?Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-02-22 * Separate the cache reading code.Eelco Dolstra2-25/+28
2006-02-22 * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+2
2006-02-22 * Use right directories for NAR files and patches.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+5
* Print errors to STDERR.
2006-02-22 * More tests.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+10
2006-02-22 * Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+19
* Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well.
2006-02-17 * In "nix-env -i", print a warning if there are multiple derivationsEelco Dolstra1-24/+16
with the same name *and* version number, and pick the first one (this means that the order in which channels appear in ~/.nix-channels matters). E.g.: $ nix-env ii aterm warning: there are multiple derivations named `aterm-2.4.2'; using the first one installing `aterm-2.4.2'
2006-02-17 * Fix for NIX-31: "nix-env -i foo" installing all derivations namedEelco Dolstra2-10/+64
foo. Now it will only install the one with the highest version number.
2006-02-17 * And another test.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2006-02-17 * Regression test for NIX-31.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+16
2006-02-17 * Fix the infamous NIX-17: nix-env -i prints misleading messagesEelco Dolstra1-7/+9
("installing `foo'" followed by "uninstalling `foo'").
2006-02-16 * Allow the size of the GC reserved file to be specified in nix.confEelco Dolstra5-14/+62
through the new `gc-reserved-space' option.
2006-02-16 * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run whenEelco Dolstra3-4/+24
the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space). Under normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB. When running the garbage collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB environment.
2006-02-13 * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL'sEelco Dolstra7-40/+59
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-13 * Use a union.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-02-13 * Override YYMALLOC and YYFREE so that we can call AT[un]protectMemoryEelco Dolstra1-0/+20
on the Bison parse stack. Otherwise, a garbage collect during parsing could lead to a crash.
2006-02-13 * Valgrind suppressions for the ATerm library. The ATerm library usesEelco Dolstra1-0/+130
a conservative garbage collector that scans the stack and parts of the heap for pointers to ATerms. This scan can touch uninitialised memory, which is harmless. Use: $ valgrind --suppressions=aterm-gc.supp ...
2006-02-12 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-02-10 * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias).Eelco Dolstra2-7/+16
Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression!
2006-02-10 * In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to theEelco Dolstra3-31/+87
derivation(s) we're interested, e.g., $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11 List elements can also be selected: $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.
2006-02-10 * Document that nix-instantiate can read from stdin.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+4
2006-02-10 * Make --parse-only work when *not* reading from stdin.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+4
2006-02-10 * Cleanup: use the code shared with nix-env.Eelco Dolstra1-64/+15
2006-02-08 * When querying all derivations, filter out syntactically equal derivations.Eelco Dolstra1-12/+36
2006-02-08 * When evaluating, automatically call functions with default arguments.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+23
2006-02-08 * Test-driven development, woohoo! nix-env should work on functions,Eelco Dolstra1-2/+8
provided that all arguments have defaults.
2006-02-08 * Oops, fix breakage.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-02-08 * Tests for nix-env, finally!Eelco Dolstra5-1/+108
2006-02-08 * Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.Eelco Dolstra4-187/+209
2006-02-07 * Don't install nix.conf (so it won't be overriden when you upgrade an RPM).Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-02-03 * Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not onlyEelco Dolstra1-6/+8
creates a new process group but also a new session. New sessions have no controlling tty, so child processes like ssh cannot open /dev/tty (which is bad).
2006-02-02 * When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (asEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
intended). This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote machine also exits. Without this, the remote Nix process will continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it locks up. (Partially fixes NIX-35.)
2006-02-01 * Print a better error message when writing the patched file (e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-2/+21
"No space left on device" instead of "Success"). Reported by Karina Olmos.
2006-02-01 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-02-01 * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2.Eelco Dolstra15-527/+471
2006-02-01 * The "S" bit should be based on the output path, not the derivation path.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-02-01 * Use Berkeley DB 4.4.20.Eelco Dolstra2-88/+3
2006-02-01 * Add @bindir@.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-01-26 * Don't force a build of derivations.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-01-26 * Oops, the "I" bit in "nix-env -qas" was broken. Reported by Nicolae Vintila.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-01-19 * Don't show cycles, they're not very useful.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+4
