2016-11-26 Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...

2014-04-04 derivation: Don't require certain function argumentsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Turns out that in Nixpkgs, derivation is actually called without a ‘name’ argument in some places :-(
2014-04-04 Pass position information to primop callsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
For example: error: `tail' called on an empty list, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-2/default.nix:13:7
2012-11-26 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thingEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

aspect.
2012-01-04 * Export the original input attributes of the derivation inEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
‘drvAttrs’. This will simplify the implementation of functions such as ‘overrideDerivation’ in Nixpkgs, which need to filter out any added attributes such as outPath.
2012-01-04 * Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out theEelco Dolstra1-18/+11
common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc. Note that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs" attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of outputs. This seems more user-friendly.
2012-01-03 * Drop the inefficient "Path" suffix in output attribute names.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2012-01-03 * Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separateEelco Dolstra1-0/+31
file.
