2012-04-10 Unconfuse RobEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-03-19 Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivationEelco Dolstra2-0/+43
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
2012-03-05 nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdoutEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05 Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closureEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2012-01-03 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-01-03 * Ignore missing manifest symlinks.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2012-01-03 * Add a test for nix-channel.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2011-12-02 * Add some more functions to the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+48
2011-11-29 * Don't require a specific Perl version.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2011-11-29 * download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+16
2011-11-29 * For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes inEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
base-32. (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-23 * Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality ofEelco Dolstra3-1/+60
‘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.)
2011-11-23 * build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2011-11-22 * Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain toEelco Dolstra1-3/+1
libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-16 * nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don'tEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16 * Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This savesEelco Dolstra1-2/+8
disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16 * Remove obsolete line.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2011-11-16 * Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cacheEelco Dolstra1-8/+12
DB. This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my system.
2011-10-11 * Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.Eelco Dolstra2-11/+32
2011-10-11 * Move SSH.pm.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+52
2011-10-10 * Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm underEelco Dolstra3-0/+722
the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10 * Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow theEelco Dolstra2-0/+152
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.
