2004-01-08 * Include version number in manual.Eelco Dolstra3-4/+12
2004-01-07 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is thatEelco Dolstra2-6/+7
it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed. *** IMPORTANT *** If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone. Do the following: - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db. - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1 - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*

2004-01-05 * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the defaultEelco Dolstra7-42/+86
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
2004-01-05 * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switchesEelco Dolstra3-18/+33
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)

2003-12-22 * GCC 2.95 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra6-3/+29
2003-12-22 * Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can sayEelco Dolstra2-24/+165
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so nix-env -u foo.nix '*' will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if available. The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator: TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0); TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1); TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1); TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1); (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater) * A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful output, e.g., $ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
2003-12-21 * Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,Eelco Dolstra2-34/+106
nix-env -i foo.nix subversion The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the first dash not followed by a letter.
2003-12-21 * `-u' -> `-e'.Eelco Dolstra2-39/+58
* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current).
