2007-02-02	* nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+72
	attribute) about installed packages in user environments. Thus, an operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information not only on available packages but also on installed packages. * nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has access to the meta attributes. * New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of installed packages. This will be useful to pass per-package policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that is, left untouched by upgrade actions). Example: $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4
2007-01-15	* Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1

2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+8

2006-12-12	* New operation `nix-env --set' which sets a user environment to a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+27
	single derivation specified by the argument. This is useful when we want to have a profile for a single derivation, such as a server configuration. Then we can just say (e.g.) $ nix-env -p /.../server-profile -f server.nix --set -A server We can't do queries or upgrades on such a profile, but we can do rollbacks. The advantage over -i is that we don't have to worry about other packages having been installed in the profile previously; --set gets rid of them.
2006-12-07	* Rename all those main.cc files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1210
