2014-05-21 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the InternetEelco Dolstra2-89/+108
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you have: log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base name of the store path>. So you can do things like: $ nix-store -l $(which xterm) and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

2014-04-15 nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semanticsRicardo M. Correia2-3/+5
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the generation that was active N days ago. For example, say that you have these 3 generations: 1: <30 days ago> 2: <15 days ago> 3: <1 hour ago> If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact). This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects 'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'. Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

2014-02-19 nix-shell: Add --packages flagEelco Dolstra1-2/+30
This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the specified packages from Nixpkgs. For example: $ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11 hello will start a shell in which the given packages are present.

2014-02-17 nix-shell: Execute shellHook if it existsEelco Dolstra1-0/+16
Since normal builds don't execute shellHook, this allows nix-shell specific customisation. Suggested by Domen.

Closes #208.
2014-02-10 Binary tarball: Automatically create /nixEelco Dolstra1-15/+14
The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere. The installation script uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist. It also fetches the nixpkgs-unstable channel.

2014-02-07 nix-instantiate: Add a --no-readonly-mode flagShea Levy1-0/+12
This allows running nix-instantiate --eval-only without performing the evaluation in readonly mode, letting features like import from derivation and automatic substitution of builtins.storePath paths work. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
