2012-10-03 | Document ‘--repair’ | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -6/+32 | |
2012-10-02 | nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all ↵ | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+12 | |
missing/corrupt paths Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after verifying/repairing. | |||||
2012-10-02 | Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’ | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+52 | |
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc. | |||||
2012-09-27 | Allow dashes in identifiers | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+5 | |
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous. | |||||

2012-08-01 | nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+12 | |
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches. | |||||
2012-07-31 | Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’ | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+13 | |
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in nix.conf. | |||||

2012-04-30 | Support mandatory system features in the build hook | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -3/+14 | |
Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's requiredSystemFeatures attribute. One application is performance testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests (and nothing else). Then we would add the label "perf" to the machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing derivations. | |||||

2012-04-14 | nix-channel improvements | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -17/+36 | |
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update). | |||||
