2006-05-01 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra1-0/+4
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-23 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that haveEelco Dolstra1-1/+15
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions ofEelco Dolstra1-0/+43
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-09 * Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-03-08 * When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore allEelco Dolstra1-34/+50
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
2006-02-10 * In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to theEelco Dolstra1-26/+74
derivation(s) we're interested, e.g., $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11 List elements can also be selected: $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.
2006-02-08 * When querying all derivations, filter out syntactically equal derivations.Eelco Dolstra1-12/+36
2006-02-08 * When evaluating, automatically call functions with default arguments.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+23
2006-02-08 * Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+67
