2004-07-28 * Nix-build places a symlink `result' in the current directory to theEelco Dolstra1-1/+10
store object just built.
2004-06-22 * Nix-instantiate can return multiple store expressions.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2004-06-22 * A utility script `nix-build' that builds Nix expressions and printsEelco Dolstra2-6/+30
their output paths (and only that) on standard output.
2004-06-21 * Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism.Eelco Dolstra3-57/+45
2004-04-22 * Look for GC roots in @localstatedir@/nix/gcroots.Eelco Dolstra1-19/+53
2004-04-21 * Channels. These allow you to stay current with an evolving set ofEelco Dolstra4-47/+146
Nix expressions. To subscribe to a channel (needs to be done only once): nix-channel --add \ http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels/nixpkgs-unstable This just adds the given URL to ~/.nix-channels (which can also be edited manually). To update from all channels: nix-channel --update This fetches the latest expressions and pulls cache manifests. The default Nix expression (~/.nix-defexpr) is made to point to the conjunction of the expressions downloaded from all channels. So to update all installed derivations in the current user environment: nix-channel --update nix-env --upgrade '*' If you are really courageous, you can put this in a cronjob or something. You can subscribe to multiple channels. It is not entirely clear what happens when there are name clashes between derivations from different channels. From nix-env/main.cc it appears that the one with the lowest (highest?) hash will be used, which is pretty meaningless.
2004-04-15 * Allow extra parameters to be passed to Curl through the `CURL_FLAGS'Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
environment variable. This is useful for passing authentication information (it won't show up in `ps'). Hacky - nix-push should abstract over the use of Curl.
2004-04-14 * `*.gcroot' files can now containing multiple roots.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+7
2004-04-06 * Distributed the wrong file.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2004-04-06 * Switched from wget to curl.Eelco Dolstra6-21/+27
* Made the dependencies on bzip2 and the shell explicit.
2004-03-15 * Make perl a dependency of Nix.Eelco Dolstra5-5/+5
2004-02-20 * Use $(storedir) instead of $(prefix)/store.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+3
2004-02-13 * Only include predecessors that are themselves being pushed.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+6
Otherwise the substitute mechanism can break in subtle ways.
2004-02-10 * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.Eelco Dolstra3-3/+3
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e., `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended. * nix-prefetch-url works again.
2004-02-06 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra2-4/+4
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
2004-01-16 * Doh! Edited `readmanifest.pm' instead of `readmanifest.pm.in'.Eelco Dolstra2-11/+11
2004-01-14 * Synchronous `nix-pull' with `nix-push'.Eelco Dolstra2-2/+2
* Use curl instead of wget.
2004-01-14 * Improved `nix-push': it now uses HTTP PUT (instead of rsync) to copyEelco Dolstra2-50/+85
files. Target location is no longer hard-coded; it accepts a number of URLs on the command line. * `nix-install-package': compatibility fixes.
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 :-)
2003-12-30 * RPM spec file.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+6
* Respect DESTDIR variable.
2003-12-21 * Missing semicolons.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+4
2003-12-05 * Refactoring: put the manifest-reading code in a separate file.Eelco Dolstra3-89/+113
2003-12-04 * Fix for too long command lines when calling `nix-storeMartin Bravenboer1-4/+16
--register-[substitutes|successors].
2003-12-01 * Bug fix in nix-push.Eelco Dolstra1-19/+19
2003-12-01 * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-12-01 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,Eelco Dolstra3-4/+4
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-11-24 * One-click installation :-)Eelco Dolstra3-73/+123
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/.
2003-11-24 * Fix nix-pull.Eelco Dolstra1-21/+15
2003-11-24 * Get rid of tab characters.Eelco Dolstra1-62/+62
2003-11-22 * Fix nix-push.Eelco Dolstra1-36/+32
2003-11-22 * Maintain integrity of the substitute and successor mappings whenEelco Dolstra3-100/+16
deleting a path in the store. * Allow absolute paths in Nix expressions. * Get nix-prefetch-url to work again. * Various other fixes.
2003-11-22 * Fix the garbage collector.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+18
2003-10-27 * Don't cache the manifest.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-10-20 * NarPath -> NarName.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-10-16 * Remove some debug output.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+1
2003-10-16 * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.Eelco Dolstra1-60/+91
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr. * Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash generation. * Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
2003-10-16 * Get nix-push to work again.Eelco Dolstra1-32/+78
* Fixed svn:ignore on externals/.
2003-10-15 * Keep sources (derivation expression) by default, `--no-source' toEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
override.
2003-10-09 * Follow successors by default (use `--no-successors' to override).Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2003-10-09 * Fixed nix-switch.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2003-10-07 * Synchronise terminology with the ICSE paper (e.g., slice -> closure,Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
fstate -> Nix expression). * Fix src/test.cc.
2003-10-02 * Use passive FTP in wget.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-08-28 * nix-push generated invalid (old-style) slices.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
* nar.sh needs a path.
2003-08-25 * Don't continue when the call to nix fails.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+11
2003-08-15 * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the NixEelco Dolstra3-4/+54
store, and print its hash.
2003-08-15 * Don't use a temporary file.Eelco Dolstra1-9/+14
2003-08-06 * Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name Eelco Dolstra1-3/+7
NAME'. E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).
2003-08-05 * Made nix-push much faster.Eelco Dolstra1-18/+33
2003-08-05 * Made nix-pull much faster by performing all Fix instantiations atEelco Dolstra1-14/+32
the same time.
