2014-08-28 allowedRequisites: Drop stdenv mentionEelco Dolstra2-8/+3
I don't think it's a good idea to use allowedRequisites for stdenv, so don't mention it here.

2014-07-24 nix-copy-closure: Drop --bzip2, --xz, --show-progressEelco Dolstra1-10/+9
These are too difficult to implement via nix-store --serve. ‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a sink/source wrapper class.

2014-07-17 nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users optionsEelco Dolstra1-0/+42
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to ‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the wheel group. ‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be ‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

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!
