2012-05-10	Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+65
	Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.
2012-03-19	Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise the environment further. The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree. Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of $PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup. Example session: $ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm (the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...) $ tar xf $src $ ./configure $ make $ emacs (... hack source ...) $ make $ ./xterm
2011-12-02	* Add some more functions to the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2011-11-29	* Don't require a specific Perl version.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2011-11-29	* download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-10-11	* Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-10-10	* Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+23
	bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
