2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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.
2012-09-11	Don't use -warning=no-timestamp unless we have GNU tar	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-08-01	nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+7
	Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.

2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+23

2012-07-25	import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation ↵	Shea Levy	2	-1/+23
	attrset. The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output. I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more): * Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix) * Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed in environment.systemPackages, for example. * Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

2012-07-01	Fix xz compression	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2012-07-01	Allow both bzip2 and xz compression	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+13

2012-06-29	Use XZ compression in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+7
	XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory.
2012-05-09	Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+10
	The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.
2012-04-26	Don't use the build hook for unpacking channels	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2012-04-14	If the (redirected) channel URL contains a version number, use it	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3

2012-04-14	Remove unnecessary "system" argument	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+5

2012-04-14	nix-channel improvements	Eelco Dolstra	2	-32/+6
	"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
2012-01-04	* currentOutput -> outputName. "current" implies some temporal	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	aspect.
2012-01-04	* Export the original input attributes of the derivation in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2012-01-03	* Move the implementation of the ‘derivation’ primop into a separate	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+32
	file.
2012-01-03	* Forgot to add.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13

2012-01-03	* Add a test for nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-57/+45
	* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra	8	-46/+46
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-11-05	* Fix the broken reference to bunzip2 in the channel unpack script.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	the Nix:: namespace.
2010-11-17	* nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix database	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0
	already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').
2010-08-04	* Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute "preferLocalBuild" to true. This has a few use cases: - The user environment builder. Since it just creates a bunch of symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it remotely. In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which is extremely wasteful. - `fetchurl'. Performing the download on a remote machine and then copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any CPU cycles on the local machine.
2010-05-07	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9

2010-05-05	buildenv: Special-case Python's `site.py' and `site.pyc'.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+2
	* corepkgs/buildenv/builder.pl.in (createLinks): Skip `site.py' and `site.pyc' files.
2010-05-03	buildenv: Special-case Python's `easy-install.pth' files.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-1/+7
	* corepkgs/buildenv/builder.pl.in (createLinks): Skip `easy-install.pth' files. Comment the hack.
2010-04-21	* Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm. (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
2010-02-02	* Ugly hack to make `nix-channel' work on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2009-03-03	* Allow the channel to declare a name for itself.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2007-09-17	* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+3
	Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute name. Also recurses into directories. * nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the ~/.nix-defexpr symlink. * nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink ~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't override any default Nix expressions but combines with them. This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use it as a default for nix-env: $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time. (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)
2007-05-16	* New builtin function "isFunction". You're not supposed to use it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	;-) * Channels: fix channels that are plain lists of derivations (like strategoxt-unstable) instead of functions (like nixpkgs-unstable). This fixes the error message "error: the left-hand side of the function call is neither a function nor a primop (built-in operation) but a list".
2007-05-02	* Set the right priorities when recovering from a directory	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	collision.
