2003-06-15	* Refactoring: hash class.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+21

2003-05-30	* Set umask to 0022 on startup.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2003-05-26	* Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iff	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+14
	a mapping from the hash to a url has been registered through `nix regurl'. * Bug fix in nix: don't pollute stdout when running tar, it made nix-switch barf. * Bug fix in nix-push-prebuilts: don't create a subdirectory on the target when rsync'ing.
2003-05-25	* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by	Eelco Dolstra	1	-48/+21
	sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix descriptor). `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by consulting the paths and URLs specified in $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash, $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking $location. `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these to the network through rsync. `nix-[pull\|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the mechanism through the `nix [export\|regprebuilt\|regurl]' commands.
2003-04-25	* Cleaned up the semantics of Fix expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-66/+130
	* Conditionals and variables in Fix expressions. This allows, e.g., Descr( [ Bind("pkgId", "subversion-0.21.0") , Bind("httpsClient", Bool(True)) , Bind("httpServer", Bool(True)) , Bind("ssl", If(Var("httpsClient"), Fix("./openssl-0.9.7b.fix"), "")) , Bind("httpd", If(Var("httpServer"), Fix("./httpd-2.0.45.fix"), "")) ... ]) which introduces domain feature variables httpsClient and httpServer (i.e., whether Subversion is built with https client and webdav server support); the values of the variables influences package dependencies and the build scripts. The next step is to allow that packages can express constraints on each other. E.g., StrategoXT is dependent on an ATerm library with the "gcc" variant enabled. In fact, this may cause several Nix instantiations to be created from a single Fix descriptor. If possible, Fix should try to find the least set of instantiations that obeys the constraints.
2003-04-09	* In `fix --instantiate', only print out the hashes of the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
	descriptors generated out of Fix descriptors specified on the command line. This allows us to say: nix-switch $(fix -i ./test/fixdescriptors/system.fix)
2003-04-08	* Descriptor importing in Fix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+28

2003-04-08	* FreeBSD / gcc 2.95 compatibility fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+27
	* A script to generate prebuilt registration scripts.
2003-04-08	* `Fix' is a high-level descriptor instantiator for Nix. It replaces	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+295
	nix-instantiate.
