2012-10-04 getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failureEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-03 When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual pageEelco Dolstra3-39/+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-instantiateEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-08-28 Make "nix-instantiate -" interruptibleEelco Dolstra1-3/+1
2012-08-27 Merge branch 'master' into no-manifestsEelco Dolstra1-3/+5
2012-08-24 Include the output name in the GC root linkEelco Dolstra1-3/+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 processingEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-04-17 nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are givenEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2012-04-17 Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵Eelco Dolstra1-0/+12
Nix's search path
2012-02-04 * Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection throughEelco Dolstra1-0/+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-buildEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 Dolstra1-3/+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 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 Dolstra1-3/+2
the EvalState class.
2010-11-16 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2010-10-28 * Handle out of memory condition.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2010-10-22 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco Dolstra1-1/+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 Dolstra1-4/+2
2010-10-20 * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the NixEelco Dolstra1-2/+5
expression evaluator.
2010-10-04 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,Eelco Dolstra1-3/+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 Dolstra2-53/+41
2010-05-07 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+9
2010-04-20 * Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+11
2010-04-19 * Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2010-04-13 * Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute namesEelco Dolstra1-2/+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 Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-04-12 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. NotEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
finished yet.
2010-04-08 * Remove a lot of dead code.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-04-07 * Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().Eelco Dolstra1-73/+30
2010-04-07 * expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+8
2010-04-07 * Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2010-03-31 * Implemented derivations.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+17
2010-03-31 Make source location info in the XML output optional.Ludovic Courtès2-6/+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 Dolstra1-3/+7
2010-03-30 * More primops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-03-29 * Started integrating the new evaluator.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+9
2010-03-02 * When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build withEelco Dolstra2-1/+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 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
2009-10-08 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg1-1/+1
manager work on OpenSolaris
2007-01-14 * Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)Eelco Dolstra1-9/+3
2007-01-13 * Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra1-15/+20
(NIX-74).
2007-01-13 * Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove positionEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
info, sort attribute sets.
2006-12-07 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-12-07 * Rename all those main.cc files.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+1
2006-12-05 * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to doEelco Dolstra1-1/+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 Dolstra1-1/+0
2006-11-30 * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPIEelco Dolstra1-2/+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.
