2004-06-21	* Remove debug output.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2004-06-21	* Wrap calls to registerSubstitute() in a single transaction to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	improve throughput. * Don't build the `substitute-rev' table for now, since it caused Theta(N^2) time and log file consumption when adding N substitutes. Maybe we can do without it.
2004-06-20	* Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+31
	* A better substitute mechanism. Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired store path, which is passed as an argument. This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes. (It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a performance problem). * Added a test for the substitute mechanism. * `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input, instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running into the kernel's limit on command line length.
2004-04-21	* Do initialise state (the DB etc.) when doing a `make install',	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+0
	unless `--disable-init-state' is passed to configure.
2004-02-16	* Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-02-16	* Allow the location of the store to be specified (--with-store-dir).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Do not create stuff in localstatedir when doing `make install' (since we may not have write access). In general, installation of constant code/data should be separate from the initialisation of mutable state.
2004-02-14	* The environment variable NIX_ROOT can now be set to execute Nix in a	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+34
	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.
2004-02-06	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+0
	default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.
2004-01-09	* Option `--force-realise' in `nix-store --query'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+12

2003-12-30	* RPM spec file.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+8
	* Respect DESTDIR variable.
2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra	2	-10/+2
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-11-25	* Another fix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2003-11-25	* More `make dist' fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2003-11-19	* nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+2
	* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
2003-11-18	* "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+6
	* More refactoring.
2003-11-18	* nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-0/+508
