More spring cleaning.
2016-04-11 Remove manifest supportEelco Dolstra8-149/+7
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.

This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.

the nix-shell command documentation
2016-01-05 doc: Clarify why multiple arguments are not supported in shebang lineTim Cuthbertson1-2/+2
It's not a limitation of `/usr/bin/env`, it's just how the OS processes shebang lines (see http://stackoverflow.com/a/4304187)
2016-01-05 manual: document builtins.functionArgsVladimír Čunát1-1/+19

2015-11-25 Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>' gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N: N=10: 3.3541 N=20: 2.9320 N=25: 2.6690 N=30: 2.9417 N=50: 3.2021 N=100: 3.5718 N=150: 4.2079 Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB). Closes #708.

2015-11-23 Fixed typo.Rommel M. Martinez1-1/+1
2015-11-10 rename `chroot` to `sandbox` (fixes #656, close #682)Vladimír Čunát3-21/+47
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases, also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning - update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented), including a new file with release notes - tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs - __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
2015-11-09 Add option to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra1-0/+12
Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)
2015-10-08 Fix typo in doc for nix-copy-closureAnders Claesson1-1/+1
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra1-0/+12
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra1-1/+16
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".
2015-10-05 Don't mention Fedora/Debian packages in the installation sectionEelco Dolstra1-6/+16
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/commit/d4a88df9d6114f609da889db62ef0a3bf6e4ef27
2015-10-05 Merge pull request #645 from acowley/patch-1Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Update prerequisites-source.xml
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: $PRINT_PATH -> --print-pathEelco Dolstra1-10/+17
2015-09-17 doc: fix the 'prebuild' typosVladimír Čunát1-2/+2

2015-08-05 Fix exampleEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2015-07-28 Add sort primopEelco Dolstra1-0/+23
2015-07-28 Add primop genListEelco Dolstra1-0/+18
This can be used to implement functions like ‘imap’ (or for that matter, ‘map’) without the quadratic complexity incurred by calling ‘++’ repeatedly.
2015-07-24 Add replaceStrings primopEelco Dolstra1-0/+17
This is a generalisation of replaceChars in Nixpkgs.
2015-07-23 Add primops all and anyEelco Dolstra1-0/+22
These are used thousands of times during NixOS evaluation, so it's useful to speed them up.

2015-07-20 nix-copy-closure: Add -v flagEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
