2009-03-28 | * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -37/+14 | |
descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr). | |||||

2008-11-19 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -18/+138 | |
2008-11-18 | * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant. | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -133/+7 | |
2008-08-05 | * Moved some stuff to the Nixpkgs manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -162/+22 | |

2008-07-11 | * Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure, | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+7 | |
which is hopefully more useful. * New primops: length, mul, div. | |||||
2008-07-01 | * Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+6 | |
logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops. This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples. | |||||

* Release notes. | |||||
2007-12-04 | * component -> package. | Eelco Dolstra | 8 | -98/+97 | |
2007-11-30 | * Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+4 | |
single quotes. Example (from NixOS): job = '' start on network-interfaces start script rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver ${if videoDriver == "nvidia" then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver" else if cfg.driSupport then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver" else "" } rm -f /var/log/slim.log end script ''; This style has two big advantages: - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS. The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as ""). ${ is also fairly rare. Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks (thanks Martin). - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in generated files (which sometimes even breaks things). See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples. | |||||
2007-11-29 | * Troubleshooting entry about running out of locks. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+43 | |
2007-11-21 | * New primop `readFile' to get the contents of a file as a string. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+9 | |
2007-11-01 | * A rule to make a PDF version of the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+8 | |
2007-11-01 | * Documented some of the more obscure derivation attributes (including | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -14/+250 | |
fixed-output derivations). | |||||
2007-10-31 | * Documented multi-user Nix. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -46/+271 | |
2007-10-29 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -0/+132 | |
2007-10-29 | * Make the `--prebuilt-only' / `-b' option work not just for queries | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
but installations/upgrades as well. So `nix-env -ub \*' will upgrade only those packages for which a substitute is available (or to be precise, it will upgrade each package to the highest version for which a substitute is available). | |||||
2007-10-27 | * Delete the chroot directory automatically. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+3 | |
* Removed some debug messages. | |||||

2007-10-22 | * Document the new primops in Nix 0.11. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+164 | |

2007-10-22 | Added comment telling about setup-hook and propagatedBuildInputs | Marc Weber | 1 | -3/+12 | |
2007-09-19 | * Manpage for nix-copy-closure. | Eelco Dolstra | 17 | -25/+308 | |
2007-09-17 | * nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -43/+4 | |
Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute name. Also recurses into directories. * nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the ~/.nix-defexpr symlink. * nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink ~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't override any default Nix expressions but combines with them. This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use it as a default for nix-env: $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time. (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".) | |||||

2007-08-12 | * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -30/+0 | |
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster (NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with each other. The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas" takes a bit longer. Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR" on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway). * Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception). | |||||
