2006-09-04 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.Eelco Dolstra5-5/+5
2006-09-01 * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the storeEelco Dolstra1-0/+14
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (TooEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-08-31 * Doh! Doh! Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-31 * Better error checking.Eelco Dolstra1-11/+6
2006-08-30 * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+19
2006-08-30 * Uninitialised variable.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-29 * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but printEelco Dolstra2-8/+9
a warning.
2006-08-29 * Fix the ~ operator.Eelco Dolstra4-3/+24
2006-08-28 * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).Eelco Dolstra1-0/+21
2006-08-28 * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to allEelco Dolstra2-139/+139
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra3-10/+11
2006-08-25 * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.Eelco Dolstra2-18/+2
2006-08-24 * Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from beingEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
normalised away.
2006-08-24 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression toEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24 * Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra4-87/+111
2006-08-24 * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+16
2006-08-24 * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.Eelco Dolstra3-44/+48
2006-08-23 * Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:Eelco Dolstra1-7/+20
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"' to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in all-packages.nix).
2006-08-23 * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra3-7/+11
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-23 * Quotes.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-23 * New primop: abort "error message".Eelco Dolstra3-2/+11
2006-08-23 * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containingEelco Dolstra1-0/+26
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-17 * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary orderEelco Dolstra1-9/+22
produced by ATermMap. Necessary for testing. * `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets andEelco Dolstra2-46/+91
so on. * Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XMLEelco Dolstra4-12/+81
representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-16 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra2-5/+14
2006-08-15 On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or worldMartin Bravenboer1-0/+2
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled on Cygwin.
2006-08-14 * Put the value in an attribute.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
2006-08-11 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the storeEelco Dolstra2-5/+19
objects that would be freed.
2006-08-11 * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder areEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
valid.
2006-08-10 * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the defaultEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in parallel). Useful on multi-processor machines.
2006-08-09 * Fix the help message wrt --attr.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-09 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+5
2006-08-07 * Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-04 * Fix a few warnings.Eelco Dolstra4-5/+5
2006-08-04 * Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-08-03 * `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easierEelco Dolstra3-25/+82
automated processing.
2006-08-03 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that theEelco Dolstra4-60/+81
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03 * Simple class for writing XML files.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+161
2006-08-01 * Show some progress.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra7-30/+48
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco Dolstra3-3/+37
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()Eelco Dolstra9-119/+170
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of aEelco Dolstra3-7/+28
top-level function.
2006-07-25 * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch atEelco Dolstra4-15/+37
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-25 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,Eelco Dolstra2-3/+24
e.g., $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
2006-07-24 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra3-13/+33
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24 * Refactoring to support domain checks.Eelco Dolstra7-26/+33
