2004-03-22 * Some more nesting.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+26
2004-03-22 * Nix now has three different formats for the log information itEelco Dolstra1-5/+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 --profileEelco Dolstra1-1/+1

2004-01-15 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interruptEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 defaultEelco Dolstra1-0/+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.
