Fixes #84.

2013-08-14 corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local buildsShea Levy1-0/+3
nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH. Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that instantiates it. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-23 buildenv: remove special treatment of python filesFlorian Friesdorf1-3/+0
buildPythonPackage does not leave easy_install.pth and site.py anymore. A python package that leaves these files is broken. An exception to this is setuptoolsSite which packages setuptools' site.py. To include it into a buildenv, this patch is even needed, not just cosmetic.

This reduces unnecessary symlink/unlink steps.

2012-12-04 nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivationEelco Dolstra2-22/+25
If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
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.

2012-08-01 nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channelsEelco Dolstra1-3/+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.

2012-07-25 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation ↵Shea Levy2-1/+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 compressionEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2012-07-01 Allow both bzip2 and xz compressionEelco Dolstra1-5/+13
2012-06-29 Use XZ compression in binary cachesEelco Dolstra2-5/+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 corepkgsEelco Dolstra3-0/+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.

2012-04-14 nix-channel improvementsEelco Dolstra2-32/+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 temporalEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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.
