2005-01-25 * In nix-store: added query `--referers-closure' that returns theEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
closure of the referers relation rather than the references relation, i.e., the set of all paths that directly or indirectly refer to the given path. Note that contrary to the references closure this set is not fixed; it can change as paths are added to or removed from the store.
2005-01-25 * In nix-store: change `--build' back to `--realise'. Also broughtEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
back the query flag `--force-realise'. * Fixed some of the tests.
2005-01-19 * Change extension `.store' to `.drv'.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+6
* Re-enable `nix-store --query --requisites'.
2004-12-20 * Simplify the substitute mechanism:Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you register a substitute you are responsible for registering the expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage collector. - Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.
2004-02-14 * The environment variable NIX_ROOT can now be set to execute Nix in aEelco Dolstra1-2/+4
chroot() environment. * A operation `--validpath' to register path validity. Useful for bootstrapping in a pure Nix environment. * Safety checks: ensure that files involved in store operations are in the store.
2003-11-18 * "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".Eelco Dolstra1-0/+34
* More refactoring.
