2012-01-17 * Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out theEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-13 * nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporaryEelco Dolstra2-24/+16
directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.

2011-11-03 * The Nix configuration file is usually /etc/nix/nix.conf.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-11-02 * Fix permission on /nix/store in the manual for multi-user installsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
(reported by Silvio Frischknecht).
2011-09-06 * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whetherEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-08-06 * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angleEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-07-13 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writingEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
x.y.z or default (as originally proposed in https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html). For instance, an expression like stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args can now be written as args.features.ckSched or false

(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
