2007-09-17 * nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then theEelco Dolstra1-43/+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".)

2005-10-06 * Document `nix-env --compare-versions'.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+69
2005-05-09 * Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, sinceEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences (e.g., on Subversion).
2005-04-10 * Manual updates.Eelco Dolstra1-759/+751
2005-03-16 * Documented common environment variables.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+2

2004-11-12 * Document --delete-generations and other nix-env options.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+78
2004-06-28 * By default, `nix-env -i' now deletes previously installedEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 whenEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-2/+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 Dolstra1-5/+442
2004-02-06 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-5/+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 Dolstra1-7/+2
* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
