2014-02-19 nix-instantiate: Add a flag --expr / -E to read expressions from the command ↵Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
line This is basically a shortcut for ‘echo 'expr...' | nix-instantiate -’. Also supported by nix-build and nix-shell.

2013-07-19 nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flagEelco Dolstra1-1/+28
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-11 nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shellEelco Dolstra1-8/+9
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.

2012-01-13 * nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporaryEelco Dolstra1-16/+14

easier; no longer need a helper expression).
2006-08-21 * Convert to DocBook 5.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2005-07-13 * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+4
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.
