* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This
should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
|
|
* Removed `--query --generators'.

* The format of Nix expressions and the database schema changed
because of this, so it's best to delete old Nix installations.

normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for
recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
the garbage collector.

ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber
each other's builds.
* Fixed a bug in `make install'.

* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not
every time they are used. This is necessary because tables have to
outlive all transactions that refer to them.

up to the given verbosity levels. These currently are:
lvlError = 0,
lvlNormal = 5,
lvlDebug = 10,

substituting for (obvious, really).
* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
preventing a path copy.
* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This
is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

completely contained in some set. Useful for uploading relevant Nix
expressions to a shared cache.

This is not entirely trivial since this introduces the possibility
of mutual recursion.
* Made normal forms self-contained.
* Use unique ids, not content hashes, for content referencing.

returning different paths if the hash of the path to be added was
already available in the store under a different name).

hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
`substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.
This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
fstate expression. For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
them, but any other method is possible as well. This is an
improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
(fetching through `wget') built in.
The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.

the target path (which may be empty).
