2018-02-07 Merge pull request #1816 from shlevy/add-pathEelco Dolstra1-2/+72
Add path primop.
2018-02-06 Add path primop.Shea Levy1-2/+72
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
2018-02-03 Remove nix-build --hashEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus, after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again. It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but "nix-build --hash" didn't do that.

2018-01-31 Rename 1.12 -> 2.0Eelco Dolstra2-3/+3
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).
2018-01-31 Add 'nix upgrade-nix' commandEelco Dolstra1-0/+5
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a store path obtained from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix which is the same store path that the installer at https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses. The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS, or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Fixes #937
2018-01-04 Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".

2017-11-20 Document secret-key-filesEelco Dolstra1-3/+16
2017-11-20 signed-binary-caches -> require-sigsEelco Dolstra1-5/+8
Unlike signed-binary-caches (which could only be '*' or ''), require-sigs is a proper Boolean option. The default is true.
2017-11-20 binary-cache-public-keys -> trusted-public-keysEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution from binary caches, but when adding/copying any (non-content-addressed) path to a store.
2017-11-03 Remove git:// support in NIX_PATHEelco Dolstra1-7/+0
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted to git:// URIs (since https:// or ssh:// would be ambiguous).
2017-11-01 Mention isFloat function in "Built-in Functions" sectionZoran Plesivčak1-0/+10
2017-11-01 Mention "float" type in builtins.typeOf section of the docsZoran Plesivčak1-8/+9

This allows network access in restricted eval mode.
2017-10-30 fetchurl/fetchTarball are *not* allowed in restricted modeEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
Accidentally committed this change as part of f9686885be54a9b0f8947713a414de4ad3182037. Restricted mode != pure mode.

Update the language documentation
2017-10-30 fetchgit -> fetchGitEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Almost all other primops are camelCase so no reason not to use that here.

2017-09-18 Update release notesEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
2017-09-05 Add automatic garbage collectionEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>" specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete garbage until "max-free" bytes are available. Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution. Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage -d").
2017-08-31 Rename a few configuration optionsEelco Dolstra3-35/+34
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
2017-08-19 Remove nix-mode.el from Nix.Matthew Bauer1-0/+6
This removes the file nix-mode.el from Nix. The file is now available within the repository https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode. Fixes #662 Fixes #1040 Fixes #1054 Fixes #1055 Closes #1119 Fixes #1419 NOTE: all of the above should be fixed within NixOS/nix-mode. If one of those hasn’t please reopen within NixOS/nix-mode and not within NixOS/nix.

2017-08-15 Add builtins.string function.Nicolas B. Pierron1-0/+37
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression. ```nix with builtins; assert split "(a)b" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ]; assert split "([ac])" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ]; assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ]; assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" " FOO " == [ " " [ "FOO" ] " " ]; ```
