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.
