2014-02-10 Binary tarball: Automatically create /nixEelco Dolstra1-15/+14
The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere. The installation script uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist. It also fetches the nixpkgs-unstable channel.
2013-11-14 Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra1-76/+2
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.

2012-04-08 Nix is on github nowShea Levy1-4/+4
2012-03-18 Drop the externals directoryEelco Dolstra1-17/+30
Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so depending on SQLite is not a big problem. The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.
