2006-09-04 * Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra16-56/+158
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-09-01 * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+14
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (TooEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-08-30 * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+19
2006-08-30 * Uninitialised variable.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-29 * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but printEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
a warning.
2006-08-29 * Fix the ~ operator.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+13
2006-08-28 * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).Eelco Dolstra1-0/+21
2006-08-28 * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to allEelco Dolstra2-139/+139
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+1
2006-08-25 * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.Eelco Dolstra1-12/+1
2006-08-24 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression toEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+107
2006-08-24 * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+9
2006-08-24 * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+47
2006-08-23 * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra2-3/+5
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-23 * Quotes.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-23 * New primop: abort "error message".Eelco Dolstra3-2/+11
2006-08-23 * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containingEelco Dolstra1-0/+26
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-16 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+14
2006-08-09 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2006-08-04 * Fix a few warnings.Eelco Dolstra4-5/+5
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra5-15/+23
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco Dolstra2-0/+26
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()Eelco Dolstra7-102/+150
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of aEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
top-level function.
2006-07-25 * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch atEelco Dolstra2-15/+30
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
2006-07-24 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra3-13/+33
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24 * Refactoring to support domain checks.Eelco Dolstra7-26/+33
2006-07-19 * Better error messages (especially wrt types).Eelco Dolstra7-62/+96
2006-07-11 * Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2006-05-30 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-05-12 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra1-9/+8
2006-05-11 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra1-35/+40
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2006-05-04 * Use the new ATermMap.Eelco Dolstra6-223/+71
2006-05-02 * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builderEelco Dolstra2-6/+2
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02 * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount ofEelco Dolstra4-19/+54
copying.
2006-05-02 * Removed a bunch of ATreverses.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-05-02 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qasEelco Dolstra2-9/+11
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02 * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList byEelco Dolstra1-11/+16
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.Eelco Dolstra3-10/+35
2006-05-01 * Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+1
2006-05-01 * String interpolation. Expressions likeEelco Dolstra5-13/+78
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra5-14/+125
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-24 * Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in theEelco Dolstra1-4/+10
derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that haveEelco Dolstra2-1/+16
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
