2009-11-23	* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+22
	collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-20	* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many	Eelco Dolstra	1	-45/+0
	(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
2009-07-14	* Remove the redundant <sections> around refentries.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2008-11-19	* Updated the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+133

2007-12-31	* Documented a bunch of nix-store commands.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+174

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

2007-08-12	* Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we	Eelco Dolstra	1	-30/+0
	need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster (NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with each other. The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas" takes a bit longer. Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR" on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway). * Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
2007-02-05	* Compatibility with docbook5-xsl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-11-30	* Troubleshooting information on fixing a b0rked Berkeley DB database.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-05	* Document nix-store --delete.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+55

2006-10-05	* Work around a weird bug in the manpage generation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-10-05	* Documented nix-store --dump / --restore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+74

2006-10-02	* Documented nix-hash.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2006-08-21	* Convert to DocBook 5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+12
	* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2005-12-13	* Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+9
	nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-05-09	* Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, since	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences (e.g., on Subversion).
2005-04-10	* Manual updates.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+6

2005-04-09	* Document nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+9

2005-04-08	* Lots of manual updates, in particular the new `nix-store --query'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-78/+204
	options were documented, as well as the Nix configuration file.

	* nix-store options.

2005-04-05	* Some GC documentation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-30/+50

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

2004-10-18	* Instead of — use the actual Unicode character. By the way, to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	edit the manual, you should have something like (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.xml\\>" 'utf-8) in your ~/.emacs.
2004-08-25	* `--min-age' flag in nix-store and nix-collect-garbage to only delete	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12
	unreachable paths that haven't been used for N hours. For instance, `nix-collect-garbage --min-age 168' only deletes paths that haven't been accessed in the last week. This is useful for instance in the build farm where many derivations can be shared between consecutive builds, and we wouldn't want a garbage collect to throw them all away. We could of course register them as roots, but then we'd to unregister them at some point, which would be a pain to manage. The `--min-age' flag gives us a sort of MRU caching scheme. BUG: this really shouldn't be in gc.cc since that violates mechanism/policy separation.
2004-08-25	* `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+58
	doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted. So there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete' (which doesn't even exist anymore).
2004-02-02	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+2
	* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
2004-01-22	* Typos.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

	verbosity level.
2004-01-09	* Option `--force-realise' in `nix-store --query'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-52/+72

2004-01-08	* Start of nix-env reference.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+15
	* Some CSS tweaks.
2004-01-08	* Manual updates.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-200/+250
