Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra	3	-39/+2
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-08-28	Make "nix-instantiate -" interruptible	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5
	Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-04-17	nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2012-04-17	Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+12
	Nix's search path
2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2011-12-01	* Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-build	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+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 Dolstra	1	-3/+2
	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 angle	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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() into	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2
	the EvalState class.
2010-11-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2010-10-28	* Handle out of memory condition.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2010-10-22	* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	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 Dolstra	1	-4/+2

2010-10-20	* Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5
	expression evaluator.
2010-10-04	* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-05-12	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-53/+41

2010-05-07	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+9

2010-04-20	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+11

2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2010-04-13	* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-12	* Indented strings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	finished yet.
2010-04-08	* Remove a lot of dead code.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-04-07	* Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-73/+30

2010-04-07	* expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2010-04-07	* Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2010-03-31	* Implemented derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+17

2010-03-31	Make source location info in the XML output optional.	Ludovic Courtès	2	-6/+11
	* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location' parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update callers. (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise. * src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype; have `location' default to `false'. * src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add `location' parameter; update callers. (run): Add support for `--no-location'. * src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly. * tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the XML tests. * tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New files.
2010-03-30	* More operators / primops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+7

2010-03-30	* More primops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-03-29	* Started integrating the new evaluator.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9

2010-03-02	* When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build with	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+2
	--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 Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-24	* ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-02-24	* Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2009-11-06	* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2009-10-08	Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵	Sander van der Burg	1	-1/+1
	manager work on OpenSolaris
2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+3

2007-01-13	* Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+20
	(NIX-74).
2007-01-13	* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	info, sort attribute sets.
2006-12-07	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-12-07	* Rename all those main.cc files.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+1

2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0
	`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	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.
2006-10-16	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	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'.)
