2005-07-16	* Revive and update the SDF grammar for Nix expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+149

2005-07-12	* In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+17
	with default values automatically. I.e., e -> e {}. This feature makes convenience expressions such as pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a default value (__thisSystem).
2005-05-18	* Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18
	`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the attributes named `x' and `y' removed. It is not an error for the named attributes to be missing from the input set.
2005-05-10	* Ignore (with a warning) invalid garbage collector roots.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6

2005-05-10	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-05-09	* Handle store path arguments in `nix-env -i' correctly again.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+30

2005-05-09	* Automatically upgrade the Berkeley DB environment if necessary.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-106/+133

2005-05-08	* Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. This	Eelco Dolstra	1	-40/+63
	makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g., `nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).
2005-05-08	* ATermMap needs an assignment operator, otherwise we are screwed.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+36

2005-05-07	Commit 3000!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+23
	* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy. The expression `derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially) attrs // { type = "derivation"; outPath = derivation! attrs; drvPath = derivation! attrs; } where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do). The advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and `nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute. (However, `nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes). Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other, for example, webServer = derivation { ... hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl"; services = [svnService]; }; svnService = derivation { ... hostName = webServer.hostName; }; Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).
2005-05-07	* Don't try to register GC roots in read-only mode.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-05-04	* Include some required header files.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+4

2005-05-04	* FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which is	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+3
	also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04	* Idem (constness fix).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	* `compare' in GCC 2.95 is broken.
2005-05-04	* GCC 2.95 compatibility fix in constness; strangely, I think this	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	should not have worked at all.
2005-05-04	* GCC 2.95 compatibility. Prevents internal compiler error in member	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	template friends.
2005-05-04	* The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	compatibility fix.
2005-05-02	* Merging from nix-make branch:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+40
	- Add __currentTime primitive (dangerous!). - Allow imports of derivations.
2005-04-13	* Remove redundant message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+0

2005-04-12	* Garbage collector fix: allow deletion of paths that have invalid	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	(but substitutable) referers.
2005-04-11	* Slightly nicer message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2005-04-10	* Primop `__currentSystem' to return the current platform identifier.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+14

2005-04-08	* nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+4

2005-04-08	* Make `nix-store --query --tree' work on non-derivations (i.e., on	Eelco Dolstra	1	-15/+13
	any store path).
2005-04-07	* If store paths are specified as sources in Nix expressions, don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+18
	copy them, but use them directly.
2005-04-07	* Support base-32 hash representations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2005-04-07	* `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output	Eelco Dolstra	4	-15/+117
	derivations. This is mostly to simplify the implementation of nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid installations. * Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
2005-03-26	* Re-enable dot graph generation.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-34/+44

2005-03-25	* When finding live paths, the deriver need not be valid.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2005-03-25	* `nix-store --verify': repair bad referer mappings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+16

2005-03-24	* Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reported	Eelco Dolstra	4	-13/+25
	by Rob).
2005-03-23	* Fix endianness bug.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-18/+18

2005-03-23	* Export the references graph to the build hook.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+30

2005-03-23	* `nix-store --register-validity': allow a path to refer to a path	Eelco Dolstra	3	-25/+63
	listed later in the list of new valid paths.
2005-03-23	* Canonicalise path meta-data in `nix-store --register-validity'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2005-03-23	* nix-store: `--isvalid' -> `--check-validity', `--validpath' ->	Eelco Dolstra	4	-17/+34
	`--register-validity'. * `nix-store --register-validity': read arguments from stdin, and allow the references and deriver to be set.
2005-03-14	* Bug in clearSubstitutes().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2005-03-10	* Check for duplicate attributes and formal parameters in Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+61
	expressions.
2005-03-03	* Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-47/+17

2005-03-03	* Increase Berkeley DB limits a bit more.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+26
	* Maintain the cleanup invariant in clearSubstitutes().
2005-03-02	* `nix-store -q --hash' to quickly query the hash of the contents of a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+28
	store path (which is stored in the database).
2005-02-23	* When multiple derivations are specified in `nix-store -r', don't	Eelco Dolstra	1	-62/+50
	continue building when one fails unless `--keep-going' is specified. * When `--keep-going' is specified, print out the set of failing derivations at the end (otherwise it can be hard to find out which failed).
2005-02-22	* Support for fixed-output hashes over directory trees (i.e., over the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-14/+33
	NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-22	* Compatibility hack so that Nixpkgs can continue to do hash checking	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+10
	in `fetchurl' in Nix <= 0.7, but doesn't in Nix 0.8.
2005-02-18	* Subtle bug in the builder: if a subgoal that is instantiated	Eelco Dolstra	1	-31/+30
	multiple times is also a top-level goal, then the second and later instantiations would never be created because there would be a stable pointer to the first one that would keep it alive in the WeakGoalMap. * Some tracing code for debugging this kind of problem.
2005-02-17	* `nix-store -q --tree' shows a tree representing the dependency graph	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+87
	of the given derivation. Useful for getting a quick overview of how something was built. E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in your user environment was built, you can do $ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle)) Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).
2005-02-17	* Compatibility hack with older user environments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2005-02-17	* Switch to the calling user context for some more operations in a	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+6
	setuid installation.
2005-02-17	* Put build logs in $prefix/var/nix/log/drvs/.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-02-15	* Compatibility with older GCCs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+15
