2007-12-14 * Use strsignal if available to give better error messages forEelco Dolstra2-2/+14
builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-12-14 * Another insane Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility hack.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+14
2007-12-14 * Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: `echo -n foo' suddenly prints `-n foo'Eelco Dolstra1-1/+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 Dolstra1-0/+1
2007-12-12 small udpateMarc Weber1-4/+4
2007-12-10 corrected --help message for nix-store a bitMichael Raskin1-2/+7
2007-12-10 Very basic nix vim syntax highlightingMarc Weber1-0/+35
2007-12-06 * Syntax to escape '', ${.Eelco Dolstra3-2/+20
2007-12-04 * component -> package.Eelco Dolstra8-98/+97
2007-11-30 * Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by twoEelco Dolstra6-3/+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 sayEelco Dolstra7-50/+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 Dolstra1-1/+43
2007-11-21 * New primop `readFile' to get the contents of a file as a string.Eelco Dolstra4-0/+23
2007-11-16 * Flag `--no-build-hook' to disable distributed builds.Eelco Dolstra9-6/+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 Dolstra1-2/+7
2007-11-15 * nix-build: pass --argstr to nix-instantiate.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2007-11-15 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2007-11-15 * Don't need gc.hh.Eelco Dolstra2-7/+2
2007-11-15 * Add build-remote.pl to the Nix distribution.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+211
2007-11-15 Added possibility to specify garbage collection levels for store paths; so ↵Michael Raskin2-4/+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 Dolstra1-4/+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 Dolstra2-0/+9
2007-11-01 * Documented some of the more obscure derivation attributes (includingEelco Dolstra3-14/+250
fixed-output derivations).
2007-10-31 * Documented multi-user Nix.Eelco Dolstra5-46/+274
2007-10-29 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra4-1/+133
2007-10-29 * Make the `--prebuilt-only' / `-b' option work not just for queriesEelco Dolstra3-17/+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 Dolstra1-1/+1
2007-10-29 * On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+12
2007-10-27 * Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+26
2007-10-27 * Delete the chroot directory automatically.Eelco Dolstra5-19/+80
* Removed some debug messages.
2007-10-27 * Support for doing builds in a chroot under Linux. The builder isEelco Dolstra3-16/+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 Dolstra1-6/+7
2007-10-24 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2007-10-23 * Improved introduction (actually copied mostly from the homepage).Eelco Dolstra1-126/+312
2007-10-22 * Document the new primops in Nix 0.11.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+164
2007-10-22 * Move list of built-in functions to a separate file.Eelco Dolstra3-584/+592
