2012-05-09	Update the release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+82

2012-01-17	* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2011-09-06	* Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-07-13	* Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	x.y.z or default (as originally proposed in https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html). For instance, an expression like stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args can now be written as args.features.ckSched or false
2011-06-30	Add support for the `build-timeout' and `--timeout' options.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+10

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

2008-11-19	* Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	troubleshooting section. W00t.
2008-11-19	* Release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+138

2008-11-18	* Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2008-08-05	* Moved some stuff to the Nixpkgs manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+22
	* Updated the release notes.
2008-07-11	* Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+7
	which is hopefully more useful. * New primops: length, mul, div.
2008-07-01	* Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops. This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples.
2008-01-29	* nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13
	* nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.

2007-12-31	* More release notes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+44

2007-12-30	* Documented indented string literals.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-39/+121
	* Release notes.
2007-11-30	* Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	single quotes. Example (from NixOS): job = '' start on network-interfaces start script rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver ${if videoDriver == "nvidia" then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver" else if cfg.driSupport then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver" else "" } rm -f /var/log/slim.log end script ''; This style has two big advantages: - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS. The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as ""). ${ is also fairly rare. Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <\|...\|> were also considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks (thanks Martin). - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in generated files (which sometimes even breaks things). See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
2007-11-01	* Documented some of the more obscure derivation attributes (including	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+16
	fixed-output derivations).
2007-10-29	* Make the `--prebuilt-only' / `-b' option work not just for queries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	but installations/upgrades as well. So `nix-env -ub \*' will upgrade only those packages for which a substitute is available (or to be precise, it will upgrade each package to the highest version for which a substitute is available).
2007-10-27	* Delete the chroot directory automatically.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	* Removed some debug messages.
2007-09-19	* Manpage for nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+22

2007-05-16	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2007-05-01	* nix-env -i: instead of breaking package ties by version, break them	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6
	by priority and version install. That is, if there are multiple packages with the same name, then pick the package with the highest priority, and only use the version if there are multiple packages with the same priority. This makes it possible to mark specific versions/variant in Nixpkgs more or less desirable than others. A typical example would be a beta version of some package (e.g., "gcc-4.2.0rc1") which should not be installed even though it is the highest version, except when it is explicitly selected (e.g., "nix-env -i gcc-4.2.0rc1"). * Idem for nix-env -u, only the semantics are a bit trickier since we also need to take into account the priority of the currently installed package (we never upgrade to a lower priority, unless --always is given).
2007-05-01	* `nix-env -q --xml --meta' to show all meta attributes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-04-27	* Package flag "keep" that prevents a package from being removed from	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	a user environment by an install or upgrade action. This is particularly useful if you have a version installed that you don't want to upgrade (e.g., because the newer versions are broken). Example: $ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run (dry run; not doing anything) upgrading `zapping-0.9.6' to `zapping-0.10cvs6' $ nix-env --set-flag keep true zapping $ nix-env -u zapping --dry-run (dry run; not doing anything) However, "-e" will still uninstall the package. (Maybe we should require the keep flag to be explicitly set to false before it can be uninstalled.)
