2007-02-02	* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information not only on available packages but also on installed packages. * nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has access to the meta attributes. * New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example: $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4
2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+8
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25	* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+6
	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
2006-02-10	* In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	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	* Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+64
