2014-08-29	Shut up "Wide character" warnings in Perl scripts	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5

2014-08-13	Use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for temporary files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2014-08-07	nix-install-package: Use extra-binary-caches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+3
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-07-30	Do some validation of URLs	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2012-07-30	nix-install-package: Support binary caches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+19
	The .nixpkg file format is extended to optionally include the URL of a binary cache, which will be used in preference to the manifest URL (which can be set to a non-existent value).
2012-01-05	* Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2011-10-10	* Set the executable bit on scripts.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+4
	the Nix:: namespace.
2011-04-19	* nix-install-package: unset NIX_REMOTE because $NIX_MANIFESTS_DIR	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	doesn't work when building through the Nix daemon. This also ensures an error message when the user doesn't have sufficient privileges to do nix-pull.
2009-02-27	* nix-install-package: don't pollute /nix/var/nix/manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2008-11-20	* Urgh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5

2007-09-18	* Remove garbage.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-04	* tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+3

2006-09-25	* Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-25	* Clean up calls to system().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2006-09-21	* `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+105
	* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
2006-09-21	* Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2005-03-11	* nix-install-package: install outPath, not drvPath, for now.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	* nix-prefecth-url: print out in base-16.
2005-02-25	* Pause if errors occur.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-02-25	* nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+34
	by the build farm. See e.g., http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/; the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with `nix-install-package'). Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be added to the user environment. This makes these packages independent from Nix expression evolution. Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the resulting output path ($outPath). This is equivalent, except that installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output path to the derivation that built it. This is useful for maintenance. * Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.
2004-04-06	* Switched from wget to curl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	* Made the dependencies on bzip2 and the shell explicit.
2004-03-15	* Make perl a dependency of Nix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-01-14	* Improved `nix-push': it now uses HTTP PUT (instead of rsync) to copy	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+8
	files. Target location is no longer hard-coded; it accepts a number of URLs on the command line. * `nix-install-package': compatibility fixes.
2003-11-24	* One-click installation :-)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+37
	The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches), unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the user's environment. For best results, associate the command `xterm -e /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type `application/x-nix-package' and visit http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.
