2006-11-18	* Show more progress.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-10-31	* Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-28	* Don't use EPSV.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-19	* nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6

2006-10-12	* Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB to	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl.
2006-10-04	* tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir().	Eelco Dolstra	7	-53/+41

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	* In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+21
	a different location than the user's. This makes channels usable as a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under non-standard prefixes. (NIX-57)
2006-09-25	* Clean up calls to system().	Eelco Dolstra	8	-26/+26

2006-09-25	* Use builtins.toPath.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-21	* `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-21/+107
	* `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

2006-09-20	* Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5
	* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-09-20	* Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+17
	NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help.
2006-09-19	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-09-19	* Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9
	* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
2006-09-19	* `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+40
	all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
2006-09-19	* Cleanups.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+12

2006-09-19	* `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+73
	package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the average size). $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default gcc 11 3.3.6 19293318 3.4.4 21425257 ... average 14942970, waste 149429707 coreutils 6 ... average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space of the Nix approach.
2006-09-06	* Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+42
	old generations of all profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff. Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after this.
2006-08-09	* file:/ -> file://	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-08	rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. Default	Armijn Hemel	1	-4/+4
	values are not changed.
2006-08-07	* In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case insensitive).
2006-08-05	add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we ↵	Armijn Hemel	1	-0/+3
	have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on
2006-08-05	prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts.	Armijn Hemel	2	-0/+4

2006-08-04	* Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-08-04	* Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2

2006-08-03	urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC!	Armijn Hemel	1	-1/+1

2006-08-01	* Better error checking.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-08-01	add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. This	Armijn Hemel	1	-0/+9
	is only for local copies (so file:///)
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+10
	to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-21	* Don't try to do DNS lookups.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2

2006-07-19	* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+62
	such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program).
2006-05-31	* This may be useful in the future.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+21

2006-05-08	* Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8

2006-03-14	* Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+31
	$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache
2006-03-10	* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-03	* More online help.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2006-03-03	* Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out	Eelco Dolstra	1	-78/+87
	that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD). Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency).
2006-02-24	* Remove debug statement.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0

2006-02-24	* A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base or	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+77
	target no longer applies to any available release. This is a partial fix for NIX-34 (when producing linear patch sequences between releases, the number of patches grows without bound).
2006-02-24	* Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-02-22	* Separate the cache reading code.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-25/+28

2006-02-22	* Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2

2006-02-22	* Use right directories for NAR files and patches.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+5
	* Print errors to STDERR.
2006-02-10	* Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+15
	Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression!
2006-02-01	* Add @bindir@.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-01-26	* Don't force a build of derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-01-12	* New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+152
	useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) \| ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure
