2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra1-0/+12
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra1-1/+16
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0

2015-04-18 Add the pre-build hook.Shea Levy1-0/+34
This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full access to the chroot root. The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example, on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.
2015-04-18 Revert "Add the pre-build hook."Shea Levy1-33/+0
Going to reimplement differently. This reverts commit 1e4a4a2e9fc382f47f58b448f3ee034cdd28218a.

2015-02-23 Use chroots for all derivationsEelco Dolstra1-14/+22
If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get a private network namespace, so they can still access the network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is no longer allowed. Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.
2015-02-23 Add restricted evaluation modeEelco Dolstra1-0/+15
If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.

2015-01-08 nix-shell: Add --run flagEelco Dolstra1-5/+19
‘--run’ is like ‘--command’, except that it runs the command in a non-interactive shell. This is important if you do things like: $ nix-shell --command make Hitting Ctrl-C while make is running drops you into the interactive Nix shell, which is probably not what you want. So you can now do $ nix-shell --run make instead.
