2017-10-24 nix: Respect -I, --arg, --argstrEelco Dolstra1-10/+12
Also, random cleanup to argument handling.
2017-07-30 Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCIIJörg Thalheim2-32/+32
Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l | xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-20 Add "nix search" commandEelco Dolstra2-47/+50
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 Dolstra2-32/+32
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25 Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)Guillaume Maudoux2-32/+32
2016-09-21 printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.Eelco Dolstra2-12/+12
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 Dolstra2-11/+18
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 Dolstra2-5/+5
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.
2016-02-23 nix-env: respect meta.outputsToInstallVladimír Čunát1-2/+2
Discussed on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12653#discussion_r51601849
2016-02-12 Merge pull request #762 from ctheune/ctheune-floatsEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
Implement floats
2016-02-04 Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra2-27/+27
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.
2015-09-18 Shut up clang warningsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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 Dolstra2-6/+6
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.

2015-05-21 nix-collect-garbage: Don't call nix-envEelco Dolstra1-61/+12
Also, make sure --delete-older-than doesn't delete the current generation.

2015-05-19 Implement alternative to lazy generations:Christian Theune5-17/+25
* only the last generation can be lazy * depend on the '--lazy-generation' flag to be set
2015-05-18 Enable lazy/sparse allocation of generation symlinks: avoid creatingChristian Theune1-1/+16
new generations if a generation already exists. Alternatively or additionally I propose a mode where only the *last* generation will be sparse.
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

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!
2014-04-04 Show position info in string concatenation / addition errorsEelco Dolstra1-2/+4
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.
2014-03-11 Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nixEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working correctly. Broken since 0f24400d90daf65cf20142a662f8245008437e2c.
