2006-05-29	* Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8

2006-05-24	* Some Cygwin fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+7

2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	16	-34/+37

2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	10	-20/+21
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08	* Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8

2006-05-08	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-05-08	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+9

2006-05-08	* Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments	Eelco Dolstra	5	-38/+50
	of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08	* Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-15/+30

2006-05-04	* Use the new ATermMap.	Eelco Dolstra	10	-336/+194

2006-05-04	* Iterators.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+73

2006-05-04	* Keep some statistics about memory allocation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+16

2006-05-03	* Maintain the count field properly.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-29/+44

2006-05-03	* New ATermMap, seems more-or-less finished.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-50/+154

2006-05-03	* Started hacking on a ATermTable replacement, since ATermTable uses	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+250
	gigantic amounts of memory --- 65536 bytes per table at least --- which makes it unsuitable for representing short-lived substitution tables and attribute sets.
2006-05-02	* Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+16
	functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02	* Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of	Eelco Dolstra	4	-19/+54
	copying.
2006-05-02	* Removed a bunch of ATreverses.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-17/+20

2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+12
	operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02	* Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+16
	ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02	* Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+35

2006-05-02	* More tests.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+9

2006-05-02	* Tests for NIX-45.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+21

2006-05-01	* Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1

2006-05-01	* String interpolation. Expressions like	Eelco Dolstra	7	-15/+88
	"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01	* Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	8	-18/+130
	configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-04-29	* svn:ignore	Eelco Dolstra	0	-0/+0

2006-04-25	* Change this to LGPL to keep the government happy.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-251/+415

2006-04-25	* Install only the header file and libraries from Berkeley DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-04-25	* Create libexec.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-04-25	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-04-25	* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the	Eelco Dolstra	5	-14/+58
	externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-03-24	* Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+10
	derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23	* In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+16
	the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23	* Hm.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-03-15	* Update copyright.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-03-14	* Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+31
	$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache
2006-03-10	* Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink	Eelco Dolstra	3	-23/+25
	components.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	7	-25/+79
	packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-10	* Oops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-10	* In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+4
	re-allocations.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations	Eelco Dolstra	2	-45/+49
	to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa ""'.
2006-03-10	* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-09	* Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+7
	ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
2006-03-09	* Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-03-09	* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+14
	instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not "nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path. For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind). Some simple memoization fixes this.
2006-03-08	* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all	Eelco Dolstra	3	-70/+98
	expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
2006-03-08	* Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch	Eelco Dolstra	5	-22/+45
	Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-03-06	* GCC 4.1 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-06	* `nix-env (-i\|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths	Eelco Dolstra	9	-22/+120
	will be built or substituted.
