2013-07-19 Rename ‘nix-build --run-env’ to ‘nix-shell’Eelco Dolstra5-85/+191
2013-07-19 nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flagEelco Dolstra1-1/+28
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-12 doc: typoDomen Kožar1-1/+1
2013-07-11 nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shellEelco Dolstra1-8/+9
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.

2013-05-07 Update release dateEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-05-07 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra1-2/+14
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.

2013-01-04 Fix "0 store paths deleted" messageEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-01-03 Clear any immutable bits in the Nix storeEelco Dolstra1-3/+10
Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.

Fixes #24.
2012-12-21 download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than ↵Eelco Dolstra1-4/+6
root This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon) installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user" is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

2012-11-23 nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’Eelco Dolstra2-6/+27
2012-11-20 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flagEelco Dolstra1-1/+8
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

2012-11-09 Update release notesEelco Dolstra1-0/+34
2012-11-06 Process binary caches in order of priorityEelco Dolstra1-0/+11
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06 Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache formatEelco Dolstra2-77/+341
2012-11-06 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
