2004-09-10	* Operation `--delete-generations' to delete generations of a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	profile. Arguments are either generation number, or `old' to delete all non-current generations. Typical use: $ nix-env --delete-generations old $ nix-collect-garbage * istringstream -> string2Int.
2004-08-18	* The default verbosity level of all Nix commands is now lvlInfo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Builder output is written to standard error by default. * The option `-B' is gone. * The option `-Q' suppresses builder output. The result of this is that most Nix invocations shouldn't need any flags w.r.t. logging.
2004-08-04	* Creating a file nix-support/no-scan in the output path of a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	derivation disables scanning for dependencies. Use at your own risk. This is a quick hack to speed up UML image generation (image are very big, say 1 GB). It would be better if the scanner were faster, and didn't read the whole file into memory.
2004-06-25	* A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8
	much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.) * Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection. * Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
2004-06-22	* Some more diagnostics changes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-06-22	* Put WEXITSTATUS stuff somewhere else.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2004-06-22	* Wrapper class around pids.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+107

2004-06-22	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13

2004-06-20	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+45

2004-06-15	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+30

2004-05-12	* An quick and dirty hack to support distributed builds.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+8

2004-05-11	* Ignore interrupt signals while handling an exception.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+15
	* Ignore EINTR in reads and writes.
2004-04-23	* Pass SYSTEM through config.h, and allow spaces.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2004-03-27	* Do not close a nesting level twice after close() has been	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	called explicitly on a Nest object.
2004-03-22	* Some more nesting.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+26

2004-03-22	* Nix now has three different formats for the log information it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+25
	writes to stderr: - `pretty': the old nested style (default) - `escapes': uses escape codes to indicate nesting and message level; can be processed using `log2xml' - `flat': just plain text, no nesting These can be set using `--log-type TYPE' or the NIX_LOG_TYPE environment variable.
2004-02-06	* Use the profile pointed to by ~/.nix-profile if no --profile	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	argument is specified.
2004-01-15	* Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+17
	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.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14
	path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
2003-11-22	* Fix the garbage collector.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11

2003-11-19	* nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-21/+24
	* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
2003-11-18	* Source tree refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+318
