2017-07-20 Add "nix search" commandEelco Dolstra1-44/+46
2017-07-03 Replace a few bool flags with enumsEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a severe risk of mixing up arguments. Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().

2016-11-26 Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"Eelco Dolstra1-31/+31
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25 Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)Guillaume Maudoux1-31/+31
2016-09-21 printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.Eelco Dolstra1-11/+11
2016-08-29 nix path-info: Add --json flagEelco Dolstra1-8/+7
Also, factor out JSON generation from value-to-json.{cc,hh}, and support producing indented JSON.
2016-08-23 nix build: Use Nix search pathEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say $ nix build nixpkgs.hello assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This is more verbose than $ nix build hello but is less ambiguous.
2016-06-02 Allow setting the state directory as a store parameterEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".
2016-06-01 Make the store directory a member variable of StoreEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2016-05-04 Cleanup: Remove singleton()Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2016-04-25 Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-02-12 Merge pull request #762 from ctheune/ctheune-floatsEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
Implement floats
2016-02-04 Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra1-21/+21
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2016-01-05 First hit at providing support for floats in the language.Christian Theune1-0/+4
2015-11-21 Print license information on '--xml --meta'Pascal Wittmann1-0/+12
The nixpkgs manual prescribes the use of values from stdenv.lib.licenses for the meta.license attribute. Those values are attribute sets and currently skipped when running nix-env with '--xml --meta'. This has the consequence that also nixpkgs-lint will report missing licenses. With this commit nix-env with '--xml --meta' will print all attributes of an attribute set that are of type tString. For example the output for the package nixpkgs.hello is <meta name="license" type="strings"> <string type="url" value="http://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+" /> <string type="shortName" value="gpl3Plus" /> <string type="fullName" value="GNU General Public License v3.0 or later" /> <string type="spdxId" value="GPL-3.0+" /> </meta> This commit fixes nixpkgs-lint, too.

2015-09-17 nix-env --upgrade: show "downgrading" when doing soVladimír Čunát1-2/+4
It was strange to show "upgrading" when the version was getting lower. This is left on "upgrading" when the versions are the same, as I can't see any better wording.
2015-09-17 nix-env --upgrade: avoid unexpected downgradesVladimír Čunát1-6/+8
Until now, if one explicitly installed a low-priority version, nix-env --upgrade would downgrade it by default and even with --leq. Let's never accept an upgrade with version not matching the upgradeType. Additionally, let's never decrease the priority of an installed package; you can use --install to force that. Also refactor to use variable bestVersion instead of bestName, as only version was used from it.
2015-07-23 Optimize small listsEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.
2015-07-23 --version: Print some config infoEelco Dolstra1-1/+7
Such as whether Nix is built with signed binary cache support, and the location of the configuration file.
2015-07-17 OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged forEelco Dolstra1-131/+129
2015-05-21 nix-collect-garbage: Don't call nix-envEelco Dolstra1-61/+12
Also, make sure --delete-older-than doesn't delete the current generation.
2015-05-05 Allow URLs in the Nix search pathEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz Or to install a specific version of NixOS: $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz
2015-03-19 Fix Boehm API violationEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
We were calling GC_INIT() after doing an allocation (in the baseEnv construction), which is not allowed.
2015-01-15 Fix assertion failure in nix-envEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
$ nix-env -f ~/Dev/nixops/ -iA foo nix-env: src/libexpr/eval.hh:57: void nix::Bindings::push_back(const nix::Attr&): Assertion `size_ < capacity' failed. Aborted

This prevents a double allocation per attribute set.

Also fixes #261.
2014-04-15 nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semanticsRicardo M. Correia1-4/+10
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the generation that was active N days ago. For example, say that you have these 3 generations: 1: <30 days ago> 2: <15 days ago> 3: <1 hour ago> If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact). This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects 'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'. Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!
2014-03-30 nix-env: Add support for --delete-generations 15dRicardo M. Correia1-2/+17
It will delete all generations older than the specified number of days.
2014-02-18 Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.
2014-01-21 Remove unused typeEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2013-12-20 nix-env --set-flag: Barf if a selector doesn't match any installed packageEelco Dolstra1-5/+13
Fixes #184.

2013-11-19 nix-env -q: Add a --json flagEelco Dolstra1-8/+45
2013-10-24 Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"Eelco Dolstra1-5/+5
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-09-06 Remove stray debug lineEelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2013-09-03 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’Eelco Dolstra1-17/+25
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces the profile with the specified set of packages. The main motivation is to support declarative package management (similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this: with import <nixpkgs> {}; [ thunderbird geeqie ... ] then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run: $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’ flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed from the actual profile.) Suggested by @zefhemel.
2013-09-03 nix-env: Use wildcard match by defaultEelco Dolstra1-8/+4
That is, you don't need to pass '*' anymore, so nix-env -qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa '*'
2013-09-03 nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demandEelco Dolstra1-3/+6
So if you do "nix-env -qa -A nixos", then other channels won't be parsed/evaluated at all.
