2004-02-16	* Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2

2004-02-11	* When creating a new generation, also make the normal form of the	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+10
	derivation (i.e., the closure store expression) a root of the garbage collector. This ensures that running `nix-collect-garbage --no-successors' is safe.
2004-02-10	* Print what generation we are switching to; honour --dry-run flag.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2004-02-09	* In `--upgrade': added flags `--lt', `--leq', `--always' to specify	Eelco Dolstra	4	-24/+81
	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	3	-0/+71
	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	* In `--list-generations', show what the current generation is.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+30

2004-02-06	* A command `--list-generations' to show all generations for a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+80
	profile.
2004-02-06	* More refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-57/+74

2004-02-06	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-131/+152

2004-02-06	* Use the profile pointed to by ~/.nix-profile if no --profile	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+11
	argument is specified.
2004-02-06	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	3	-44/+51
	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'.
2004-02-04	* Use a map to lookup primops.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+4
	* Various performance improvements in the evaluator. * Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).
2004-02-02	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-11/+24
	* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
2004-01-21	* Extra bit `S' in `--query --status' output: show whether there are	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	any substitutes for the derivation.
2004-01-20	* Absolutise the specified path in `--import' and `--profile'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-01-15	* In `nix-env --query --status', determine the `I' bit by looking at	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	the output path of a derivation, not the path of its store expression. This ensures that changes that affect the path of the store expression but not the output path, do not affect the `installed' state of a derivation.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra	2	-24/+55
	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	2	-0/+24
	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 :-)
2003-12-23	* Fixed a bug in the upgrade operation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+13

2003-12-22	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2003-12-22	* Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+163
	nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so nix-env -u foo.nix '' will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if available. The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator: TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0); TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1); TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1); TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1); (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater) A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful output, e.g., $ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
2003-12-21	* Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-34/+106
	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	2	-39/+58
	* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current).
2003-12-02	* Add missing files to `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2003-12-02	* Regression fix: query flags (e.g., "-qsf") were broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+43
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-11-24	* Allow the top-level expression to be a derivation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+18
	* Hack: `nix-env -i *' installs all available derivations.
2003-11-22	* Don't use a hard-coded path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2003-11-22	* Fix the garbage collector.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2003-11-21	* Uninstallation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2003-11-20	* Uninstall command (doesn't work yet).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-36/+81

2003-11-19	* Installation: add the previously installed packages. Switch to the new	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+112
	configuration. * Status queries.
2003-11-19	* nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+281
	* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
