2012-06-27 nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallelEelco Dolstra2-3/+3
I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-04-14 Remove unnecessary "system" argumentEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2012-04-04 Include --keep-going in --helpEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2012-01-03 * Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and someEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-12-01 * Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-buildEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
and nix-env, e.g., $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -i patchelf or $ nix-build '<nixos/tests>' -A login.test
2011-08-31 * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+5
This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-08-06 * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angleEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-08-06 * Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() intoEelco Dolstra2-7/+5
the EvalState class.
2011-04-11 * `nix-env -ub' (`--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because itEelco Dolstra1-17/+20
checked too soon whether substitutes are available. That is, it did so for every available package, rather than those matching installed packages. This was very slow and subject to assertion failures. So do the check much later. Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.
2010-11-16 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra2-21/+27
2010-10-28 * Handle out of memory condition.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2010-10-24 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for allEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
elements. This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.Eelco Dolstra2-7/+12
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-23 * Remove allocValues().Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2010-10-22 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco Dolstra2-13/+14
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22 * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+2
2010-10-20 * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the NixEelco Dolstra1-2/+4
expression evaluator.
2010-10-04 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2010-09-14 * Doh. Remove debug message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2010-08-04 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+13
2010-08-04 * Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (forEelco Dolstra1-7/+13
instance) "nix-env -i wine" works on x86_64-linux, even though Wine is built on i686-linux. In the event that there are multiple matching derivations, prefer those built for the current system.
2010-06-21 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2010-05-30 * Remove an accidentally committed debug statement.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0
2010-05-12 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra6-200/+340
2010-05-07 * Keep track of the source positions of attributes.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+10
2010-05-06 * Store attribute positions in the AST and report duplicate attributeEelco Dolstra1-2/+3
errors with position info. * For all positions, use the position of the first character of the first token, rather than the last character of the first token plus one.
2010-04-27 (no commit message)Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-04-21 * Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression inEelco Dolstra5-142/+166
$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm. (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
2010-04-19 * Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2010-04-19 * Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.Eelco Dolstra1-41/+0
2010-04-19 * Added parsing of manifests in ATerm format.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+150
2010-04-19 * Refactoring: move the user environment stuff into its own module.Eelco Dolstra4-20/+47
2010-04-16 * _combineChannels shouldn't be an integer.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-04-16 * In an nested `with' where the inner with is a variable (`with ...;Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
with someVar; ...'), the contents of the variable would be clobbered. (The attributes in the outer `with' were added to the variable.)
2010-04-14 * Get nix-env to compile again.Eelco Dolstra1-29/+14
2010-04-12 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. NotEelco Dolstra1-3/+2
finished yet.
2010-04-07 * Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().Eelco Dolstra1-13/+9
2010-03-31 * Get nix-env to compile.Eelco Dolstra1-12/+19
2010-03-02 * When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build withEelco Dolstra2-2/+4
--enable-shared. * In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm. * Some more header file hygiene.
2010-02-24 * `helpText' is now zero-terminated.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-02-24 * ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-02-24 * Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn'tEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2009-11-06 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2009-10-13 * Give a useful error message when an evaluation error occurs whileEelco Dolstra1-41/+48
trying to upgrade a package.
2009-10-08 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg1-1/+1
manager work on OpenSolaris
2009-07-02 * Replace newlines in table output with spaces.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+7
2009-06-30 * Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This isEelco Dolstra1-28/+60
useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be a proper integer now) and even meta.license (if there are multiple licenses).
2008-09-18 * Fix `--from-profile'.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+5
2008-09-02 * When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-stringEelco Dolstra1-7/+9
attributes from the meta attribute. Not doing so caused nix-env to barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute, the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory. Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings. meta.function should be passthru.function.
2008-08-25 * Minor simplification.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
