2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-11/+40
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-08-25	* Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+1

2006-08-23	* Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+20
	$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"' to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in all-packages.nix).
2006-08-16	* `nix-instantiate --{eval\|parse}-only --xml': print an XML	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+3
	representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-09	* Fix the help message wrt --attr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-07	* Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-03	* `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easier	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+80
	automated processing.
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+7
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25	* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+7
	https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-25	* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+24
	e.g., $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
2006-06-27	* `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equal	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+5
	to the new version. This is actually useful.
2006-06-15	* In `nix-env -i\|-u\|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+15
	concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-04	* Use the new ATermMap.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+27
	to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa ""'.
2006-03-08	* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all	Eelco Dolstra	1	-35/+41
	expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
2006-03-06	* `nix-env (-i\|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+36
	will be built or substituted.
2006-03-06	* Regularise help text a bit.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-01	* db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-02-17	* In "nix-env -i", print a warning if there are multiple derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-24/+16
	with the same name and version number, and pick the first one (this means that the order in which channels appear in ~/.nix-channels matters). E.g.: $ nix-env ii aterm warning: there are multiple derivations named `aterm-2.4.2'; using the first one installing `aterm-2.4.2'
2006-02-17	* Fix for NIX-31: "nix-env -i foo" installing all derivations named	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+62
	foo. Now it will only install the one with the highest version number.
2006-02-17	* Fix the infamous NIX-17: nix-env -i prints misleading messages	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9
	("installing `foo'" followed by "uninstalling `foo'").
2006-02-08	* Oops, fix breakage.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-02-08	* Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-186/+76

2006-02-01	* The "S" bit should be based on the output path, not the derivation path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-01-26	* Oops, the "I" bit in "nix-env -qas" was broken. Reported by Nicolae Vintila.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-12-24	* Documentation fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-10-06	* Swap the system and version comparion columns.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-10-06	* Only colorise if we are attached to a terminal.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2005-10-06	* New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installed	Eelco Dolstra	2	-19/+89
	versions to available versions, or vice versa. For example, the following compares installed versions to available versions: $ nix-env -qc autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6 f-spot-0.0.10 - ? firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7 ... I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and F-Spot is missing altogether. Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed versions: $ nix-env -qac autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4 bash-3.0 - ? firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4 ... Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed. If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `< 1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'. If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in red (using ANSI escape codes).
2005-09-01	* `nix-env -e' corrupts memory due to incorrect use of iterators.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6
	Reported by Rob Vermaas.
2005-07-22	* Build dynamic libraries.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2005-05-09	* Handle store path arguments in `nix-env -i' correctly again.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+30

2005-05-08	* Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-40/+63
	makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g., `nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).
2005-05-04	* Include some required header files.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3

2005-02-17	* Compatibility hack with older user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2005-02-15	* Compatibility with older GCCs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+15

2005-02-15	* And yet another installation source: the ability to copy user	Eelco Dolstra	1	-34/+46
	environment elements from one user environment to another, e.g., $ nix-env -i --from-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/other-profile aterm copies the `aterm' component installed in the `other-profile' to the user's current profile.
2005-02-14	* It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+38
	user environment, e.g., $ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv or $ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1 This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed entirely. For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided, plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation, or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context dependencies).
2005-02-14	* Added an installation source `--from-expression' (or `-E') to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+22
	install derivations from a Nix expression specified on the command line. This is particularly useful for disambiguation if there are multiple derivations with the same name. For instance, in Nixpkgs, to install the Firefox wrapper rather than the plain Firefox component: $ nix-env -f .../i686-linux.nix -i -E 'x: x.firefoxWrapper' The Nix expressions should be functions to which the default Nix expression (in this case, `i686-linux.nix') is passed, hence `x: ...'. This might also be a nice way to deal with high-level (user-level) variability, e.g., $ nix-env -f ./server.nix -i -E 'x: x {port = 8080; ssl = false;}'
2005-02-14	* Refactoring. Hope this doesn't break the semantics of `-u' ;-)	Eelco Dolstra	3	-163/+171

2005-02-14	* Global configuration option `env-keep-derivations' to store pointer	Eelco Dolstra	1	-31/+37
	to derivations in user environments. Nice for developers (since it prevents build-time-only dependencies from being GC'ed, in conjunction with `gc-keep-outputs'). Turned off by default.
2005-02-14	* Don't keep the derivation symlink when creating profile generations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+6

2005-02-11	* Refactoring to support different installation sources in nix-env.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-56/+101
	* Set the references for the user environment manifest properly. * Don't copy the manifest (this was accidental). * Don't store derivation paths in the manifest (maybe this should be made optional). This cleans up the semantics of nix-env, which were weird. * Hash on the output paths of activated components, not on derivation paths. This is because we don't know the derivation path of already installed components anymore, and it allows the installation of components by store path (skipping Nix expressions entirely). * Query options `--out-path' and `--drv-path' to show the output and derivation paths of components, respectively (the latter replaces the `--expr' query).
2005-01-27	* Fix and simplify the garbage collector (it's still not concurrent,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-10/+11
	though). In particular it's now much easier to register a GC root. Just place a symlink to whatever store path it is that you want to keep in /nix/var/nix/gcroots.
2005-01-25	* Maintain the references/referers relation also for derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	This simplifies garbage collection and `nix-store --query --requisites' since we no longer need to treat derivations specially. * Better maintaining of the invariants, e.g., setReferences() can only be called on a valid/substitutable path.
