chapter on writing Nix expressions.
2004-10-13 * Updated the quick start section. Use channels instead ofEelco Dolstra1-105/+83
downloading Nix expressions and calling nix-pull. This is so user-friendly that even a Mac user can do it! :-)
2004-08-25 * `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, itEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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).
2004-02-10 * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e., `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended. * nix-prefetch-url works again.
2004-02-06 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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'.
