2006-11-29 * Don't spam.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-11-29 * Example script to set permissions for setuid operation.Roy van den Broek1-1/+1
2006-11-29 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.Eelco Dolstra1-26/+45
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix binaries.
2006-11-24 * Doh! Path sizes need to be computed recursively of course.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+26
(NIX-70)
2006-10-30 * readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+15
2006-10-16 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, stringEelco Dolstra2-0/+11
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

2006-09-20 * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49).Eelco Dolstra2-1/+10
2006-09-04 * Move setuid stuff to libutil.Eelco Dolstra2-3/+139
* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04 * Install header files in /nix/include/nix.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+5
2006-09-04 * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+4
2006-09-04 * Don't need extern "C".Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2006-09-04 * Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra14-91/+178
* 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
2006-08-31 * Doh! Doh! Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-31 * Better error checking.Eelco Dolstra1-11/+6
2006-08-29 * Fix the ~ operator.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+11
2006-08-26 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+10
2006-08-24 * Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from beingEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
normalised away.
2006-08-16 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XMLEelco Dolstra2-3/+19
representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-04 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-08-03 * `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easierEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
automated processing.
2006-08-03 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that theEelco Dolstra3-57/+69
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03 * Simple class for writing XML files.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+161
2006-07-20 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to preventEelco Dolstra2-0/+98
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-06 * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in theEelco Dolstra2-7/+0
Nix config file.
2006-06-19 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-14 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user Eelco Dolstra1-1/+13
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-05-24 * Some Cygwin fixes.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+6
2006-05-12 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-05-11 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra3-11/+12
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08 * GCC 2.95 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-05-08 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra2-3/+8
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.Eelco Dolstra2-14/+26
2006-05-04 * Use the new ATermMap.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+428
2006-03-09 * Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it usedEelco Dolstra1-5/+7
ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
2006-03-08 * Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catchEelco Dolstra2-5/+16
Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-03-01 * Ouch, parseHash32 was completely broken. All digits >= 4 wereEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
parsed as 4. For a moment I worried that printHash32 was broken, and that would have been really, *really* bad ;-)
2006-02-13 * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL'sEelco Dolstra6-40/+48
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-13 * Use a union.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-02-01 * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-01-09 * dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-01-08 * Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporaryEelco Dolstra2-4/+25
build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp). Fixes NIX-26.
2005-12-15 * `nix-store --gc' prints out the number of bytes freed on stdoutEelco Dolstra2-4/+17
(even when it is interrupted by a signal).
2005-11-16 * Did something useful while waiting at IAD: reference scanning is nowEelco Dolstra2-1/+7
much faster.
2005-09-22 * Parse multi-valued options.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+19
2005-07-22 * Build dynamic libraries.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2005-05-04 * FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which isEelco Dolstra3-3/+3
also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
compatibility fix.
2005-03-24 * Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reportedEelco Dolstra2-0/+13
by Rob).
