2013-11-14 Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra2-76/+18
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.

2013-10-24 Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"Eelco Dolstra3-100/+99
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.

2013-10-17 Fold two stack trace messages in derivationsEelco Dolstra1-2/+3
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations are now much less verbose, since something like while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17': while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': ... now reads while evaluating the attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' of the derivation `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': ...

2013-09-03 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’Eelco Dolstra1-0/+14
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces the profile with the specified set of packages. The main motivation is to support declarative package management (similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this: with import <nixpkgs> {}; [ thunderbird geeqie ... ] then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run: $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’ flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed from the actual profile.) Suggested by @zefhemel.
2013-09-02 Manual: Make '' a bit clearerEelco Dolstra1-6/+6
Issue #162.

2013-09-02 Add an option to limit the log output of buildersEelco Dolstra1-0/+15
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

2013-08-26 Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manualIvan Kozik10-24/+24
2013-08-23 Manual: Don't use actual hashes of Nix dependenciesEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
These cause an unnecessary runtime dependency :-)
2013-08-21 Fix corrupt PNGEelco Dolstra1-0/+0
Libpng used to accept this, but no longer does.

2013-07-19 Rename ‘nix-build --run-env’ to ‘nix-shell’Eelco Dolstra5-85/+191
2013-07-19 nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flagEelco Dolstra1-1/+28
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-12 doc: typoDomen Kožar1-1/+1
2013-07-11 nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shellEelco Dolstra1-8/+9
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.

2013-05-07 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra1-2/+14
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.
