2007-09-19	* Manpage for nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9

2007-09-17	* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-43/+4
	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".)
2007-02-05	* Compatibility with docbook5-xsl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-06	* Typos etc.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10
	* Set the release date.
2006-10-05	* Documented new nix-env options.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+131

2006-10-05	* Documented --attr / -A.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8

2006-10-05	* Document --arg.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+1

2006-08-21	* Convert to DocBook 5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2005-10-06	* Document `nix-env --compare-versions'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+69

2005-05-09	* Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, since	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences (e.g., on Subversion).
2005-04-10	* Manual updates.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-759/+751

2005-03-16	* Documented common environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2

2005-03-15	* XInclude all the way.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-11-12	* Document --delete-generations and other nix-env options.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+78

2004-06-28	* By default, `nix-env -i' now deletes previously installed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+37
	derivations with names matching the derivations being installed. The option `--preserve-installed / -P' overrides this behaviour.
2004-06-28	* `nix-env -u' now allows a specific version to be specified when	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	upgrading. This fixes a bug reported by Martin: $ nix-env -i foo-1.0 $ nix-env -u foo-1.0 upgrading foo-1.0 to foo-1.1
2004-02-10	* Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+224
	* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e., `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended. * nix-prefetch-url works again.
2004-02-10	* Documented the most important nix-env flags.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+442

2004-02-06	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.
2004-02-02	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+2
	* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
2004-01-13	* Option `-B' to always show the output of builders, regardless of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	verbosity level.
2004-01-09	* Option `--force-realise' in `nix-store --query'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+13

2004-01-08	* Start of nix-env reference.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+166
	* Some CSS tweaks.
