Fixes #937

Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".

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).

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.

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" ] " " ]; ```
