2012-07-09	Resurrect old corepkgs fetchurl	Shea Levy	3	-0/+39

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.
2007-05-01	* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+20
	get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g., {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible, e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-04-27	* Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a	Eelco Dolstra	2	-19/+45
	user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the symlinks of a package with a lower priority. E.g., $ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc $ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower priority).
2007-04-27	* Allow conflicting packages to be kept in a user environment, and	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+11
	allow switching between them (NIX-80). Example: two versions of Pan: $ nix-env -q pan pan-0.128 pan-0.14.2.91 $ readlink $(which pan) /nix/store/l38jrbilw269drpjkx7kinhrxj6fjh59-pan-0.14.2.91/bin/pan At most one of them can be active any given time. Assuming than 0.14.2.91 is active, you can active 0.128 as follows: $ nix-env --set-flag active false pan-0.14.2.91 $ nix-env --set-flag active true pan-0.128 $ readlink $(which pan) /nix/store/nziqwnlzy7xl385kglxhg75pfl5i936n-pan-0.128/bin/pan More flags to follow.
2006-09-25	* Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	for packages that should be propagated to the user environment.
2006-09-25	* Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinked	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+39
	after the packages that have been explicitly installed, and collisions are ignored.
2006-08-22	* Revert unintentional commit.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-16	* `nix-instantiate --{eval\|parse}-only --xml': print an XML	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-07	* In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+6
	environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case insensitive).
2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+3

2005-07-22	* Adhockery.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2005-05-01	* Be quiet when untarring a channel file.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-04-07	* Get rid of fetchurl, we don't need it anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-40/+1

2005-04-07	* `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+1
	derivations. This is mostly to simplify the implementation of nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid installations. * Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
2005-03-15	* Purify all corepkgs builders.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-15/+8

2005-03-15	* Use SHA-256 for nix-push.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+4

2005-03-14	* Set NAR name to content hash; previous nix-push names were not	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	unique. * Drop `hashAlgo' attribute in manifests; prefix hashes with the hash algorithm instead.
2005-03-07	* Automatically add propagated build inputs to user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15
	Maybe this is a bad idea.
2005-01-25	* Really fix the substitute mechanism, i.e., ensure the closure	Eelco Dolstra	4	-21/+4
	invariant by registering references through the manifest. * Added a test for nix-pull.
2005-01-17	* Removed the `id' attribute hack.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+18
	* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance. Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the dependency graph. Previously this was done by specifying the hash component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash and then produce a completely different output). Now the responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to Nix itself. A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking at the length of the attribute value). MD5 is included for compatibility but should be considered deprecated. * Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results. It's no longer necessary. * Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store expressions. Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out', `devel', `docs'). Previously there was no way to tell output paths apart at the store expression level. * `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should be printed in base-32 notation. * `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to `md5'. * `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32. (TODO: a flag to specify the hash.)
