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
2006-07-20 * Use $(libexecdir) to find find-runtime-roots.pl.Eelco Dolstra5-1/+8
2006-07-20 * Use debug().Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-07-20 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to preventEelco Dolstra4-16/+134
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-19 * Better error messages (especially wrt types).Eelco Dolstra7-62/+96
2006-07-11 * Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2006-07-06 * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in theEelco Dolstra5-8/+7
Nix config file.
2006-06-27 * `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equalEelco Dolstra2-2/+5
to the new version. This is actually useful.
2006-06-20 * Concurrent GC on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra3-73/+146
2006-06-19 * Oops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-06-19 * _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+11
2006-06-19 * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lockEelco Dolstra1-4/+47
files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary.
2006-06-19 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-16 * Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-06-15 * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races betweenEelco Dolstra3-6/+26
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2006-06-14 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user Eelco Dolstra1-1/+13
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-06-01 * Minor cleanup.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+3
2006-05-31 * For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listedEelco Dolstra1-3/+20
in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the builder.
2006-05-30 * Not all platforms have sys/select.h.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-05-30 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-05-29 * Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+8
2006-05-24 * Some Cygwin fixes.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+7
2006-05-12 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra10-24/+27
2006-05-11 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra10-20/+21
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08 * GCC 2.95 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-05-08 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra3-38/+48
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.Eelco Dolstra3-15/+30
2006-05-04 * Use the new ATermMap.Eelco Dolstra10-225/+500
2006-05-02 * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builderEelco Dolstra3-7/+16
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02 * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount ofEelco Dolstra4-19/+54
copying.
2006-05-02 * Removed a bunch of ATreverses.Eelco Dolstra2-17/+20
2006-05-02 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qasEelco Dolstra3-9/+12
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02 * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList byEelco Dolstra1-11/+16
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.Eelco Dolstra3-10/+35
2006-05-01 * Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+1
2006-05-01 * String interpolation. Expressions likeEelco Dolstra5-13/+78
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra5-14/+125
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-24 * Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in theEelco Dolstra1-4/+10
derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that haveEelco Dolstra2-1/+16
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23 * Hm.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-03-10 * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlinkEelco Dolstra2-23/+22
components.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions ofEelco Dolstra5-23/+69
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-10 * In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMapEelco Dolstra2-3/+4
re-allocations.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivationsEelco Dolstra1-23/+27
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.
