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/.
