2004-02-09	* In `--upgrade': added flags `--lt', `--leq', `--always' to specify	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10
	whether we want to upgrade if the current version is less than the available version (default), when it is less or equal, or always. * Added a flag `--dry-run' to show what would happen in `--install', `--uninstall', and `--upgrade', without actually performing the operation.
2004-02-08	* A command `--switch-generation' to switch to a specific generation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	of the current profile, e.g., $ nix-env --list-generations ... 39 2004-02-02 17:53:53 40 2004-02-02 17:55:18 41 2004-02-02 17:55:41 42 2004-02-02 17:55:50 (current) $ nix-env --switch-generation 39 $ ls -l /nix/var/nix/profiles/default ... default -> default-39-link * Also a command `--rollback' which is just a convenience operation to rollback to the oldest generation younger than the current one. Note that generations properly form a tree. E.g., if after switching to generation 39, we perform an installation action, a generation 43 is created which is a descendant of 39, not 42. So a rollback from 43 ought to go back to 39. This is not currently implemented; generations form a linear sequence.
2004-02-06	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.
2004-02-02	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+6
	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.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)
2003-12-21	* Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3
	nix-env -i foo.nix subversion The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the first dash not followed by a letter.
2003-12-21	* `-u' -> `-e'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current).
2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+31
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
