2004-02-16 * Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-02-16 * Allow the location of the store to be specified (--with-store-dir).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
* Do not create stuff in localstatedir when doing `make install' (since we may not have write access). In general, installation of constant code/data should be separate from the initialisation of mutable state.
2004-02-14 * The environment variable NIX_ROOT can now be set to execute Nix in aEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
chroot() environment. * A operation `--validpath' to register path validity. Useful for bootstrapping in a pure Nix environment. * Safety checks: ensure that files involved in store operations are in the store.
2004-02-02 * Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+4
* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
2004-01-15 * Remove debug message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2004-01-15 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interruptEelco Dolstra1-0/+15
Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged. Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()). Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.
2004-01-13 * Option `-B' to always show the output of builders, regardless ofEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
verbosity level.
2003-12-22 * GCC 2.95 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
2003-12-01 * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:Eelco Dolstra2-14/+34
$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-11-25 * More `make dist' fixes.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+1
2003-11-19 * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
2003-11-18 * libnix -> libstore.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-11-18 * Source tree refactoring.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2003-11-09 * Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since theyEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity level). This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%. gprof(1) is very useful. :-)
2003-11-03 * Ignore options passed to the aterm library.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+5
2003-10-20 * Finished refactoring the tree.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+12
2003-10-20 * Refactored the source tree.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+94
