2012-09-27 Allow dashes in identifiersEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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.

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

2004-06-25 * A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, asEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.) * Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection. * Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
