2015-07-01 Revert "add the manpath to the installer"Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
This reverts commit 76f985b92d95fef967c1f3193d05244ced15420b. We shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations (like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

2014-07-29 nix-profile.sh: Set $SSL_CERT_FILEEelco Dolstra1-1/+10
2014-02-26 Add ~/.nix-profile/sbin to $PATHEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Fixes #112.

2012-09-13 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user versionEelco Dolstra1-44/+11
Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 copied most of the Nix shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls the "stat" command). So go back to the simple single-user version. Fixes #49.
2012-07-25 nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installationsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 reused the NixOS environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.
2012-07-25 Subscribe to the Nixpkgs rather than NixOS channelEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2012-05-31 Update nix profile: - incorporate NixOS's configuration so that nix is ↵Michel Alexandre Salim1-7/+46
usable by normal users - install as a data file, not a program file
2012-05-22 Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.shEelco Dolstra1-7/+0
It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.

2006-03-10 * Write messages to stderr, not stdout.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-10-11 add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is neededArmijn Hemel1-1/+1
for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2004-02-06 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.
2004-01-16 * Test whether the symlink, not its target, exists.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-01-05 * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switchesEelco Dolstra1-18/+9
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)
2003-07-28 * Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another glibc so loading barfs. Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.
2003-07-13 * Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefixEelco Dolstra1-0/+20
etc. correctly. * Fixed nix-switch.
