`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to
ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
well.

syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing
write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.

containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One
implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
operations.

concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see
e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The
semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.
Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
formalisation of the meaning of a path). So
"foo " + ./bla
evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
/path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and
is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
`"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be
replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
unlikely) race conditions.

Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the
garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
chain in ~/.nix-profile...
* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
garbage collector lock...").
* Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary
anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.

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
|
|
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.

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 "*"'.

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'.
