2003-05-27	* Fix for big-endian platforms: check for endianness in MD5 computations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+19
	This is done at runtime, which is inefficient, but I can't be bothered to write an Autoconf test right now.

2003-05-26	* Removed some debug code that prevented packages from building.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2003-05-26	* Some refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-210/+276

2003-05-26	* Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iff	Eelco Dolstra	2	-50/+99
	a mapping from the hash to a url has been registered through `nix regurl'. * Bug fix in nix: don't pollute stdout when running tar, it made nix-switch barf. * Bug fix in nix-push-prebuilts: don't create a subdirectory on the target when rsync'ing.
2003-05-25	* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by	Eelco Dolstra	4	-58/+112
	sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix descriptor). `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by consulting the paths and URLs specified in $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash, $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking $location. `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these to the network through rsync. `nix-[pull\|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the mechanism through the `nix [export\|regprebuilt\|regurl]' commands.
2003-04-25	* Cleaned up the semantics of Fix expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-66/+130
	* Conditionals and variables in Fix expressions. This allows, e.g., Descr( [ Bind("pkgId", "subversion-0.21.0") , Bind("httpsClient", Bool(True)) , Bind("httpServer", Bool(True)) , Bind("ssl", If(Var("httpsClient"), Fix("./openssl-0.9.7b.fix"), "")) , Bind("httpd", If(Var("httpServer"), Fix("./httpd-2.0.45.fix"), "")) ... ]) which introduces domain feature variables httpsClient and httpServer (i.e., whether Subversion is built with https client and webdav server support); the values of the variables influences package dependencies and the build scripts. The next step is to allow that packages can express constraints on each other. E.g., StrategoXT is dependent on an ATerm library with the "gcc" variant enabled. In fact, this may cause several Nix instantiations to be created from a single Fix descriptor. If possible, Fix should try to find the least set of instantiations that obeys the constraints.
2003-04-25	* Remove build directory from a package directory after building it.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+8

2003-04-24	* File removed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-22/+0

2003-04-24	* getpkg, delpkg, and so on now accept multiple arguments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-19/+16

2003-04-23	* Redirect stdout to stderr when executing the build script.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2003-04-09	* In `fix --instantiate', only print out the hashes of the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
	descriptors generated out of Fix descriptors specified on the command line. This allows us to say: nix-switch $(fix -i ./test/fixdescriptors/system.fix)
2003-04-09	* We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	build action for `system' packages (like system.fix) that have dependencies on all packages we want to activate. So the command sequence to switch to a new activation configuration of the system would be: $ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix ... system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f $ nix-switch 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f * A nix-profile.sh script that can be included in .bashrc.
2003-04-08	* Descriptor importing in Fix.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-101/+28

2003-04-08	* FreeBSD / gcc 2.95 compatibility fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-36/+30
	* A script to generate prebuilt registration scripts.
2003-04-08	* `Fix' is a high-level descriptor instantiator for Nix. It replaces	Eelco Dolstra	5	-197/+395
	nix-instantiate.
2003-04-06	* Better installation: make directories, create database.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	* Fixed the register script.
2003-04-04	* Autoconf / Automake configuration and building.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-1470/+55

2003-04-04	* Minor refactoring: use iterators to process arguments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-80/+79

2003-04-02	* Script to register pre-built packages.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+17

2003-04-02	* Importing and exporting of pre-built packages.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+106

2003-04-01	* Use ATerms for Nix descriptors.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-34/+57

2003-03-28	* Check for collissions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3

2003-03-28	* Don't fork in `nix run'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-44/+20

2003-03-28	* Allow arguments to be passed to programs in `nix run'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-25/+27

2003-03-25	* Added a script nix-activate which builds a list of "activated"	Eelco Dolstra	3	-18/+108
	packages (i.e., the packages that should appear in the user's $PATH, and so on). Based on this list, the script nix-populate creates a hierarchy of symlinks to the relevant files in those packages (e.g., for pkg/bin and pkg/lib). A nice property of nix-populate is that on each run it creates a new tree, rather than updating the old one. It then atomically switches over to the new tree. This allows atomic upgrades or rollbacks on the set of activated packages.
2003-03-25	* Integrate hash into instantiated descriptor file names.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+22
	* Use MD5::Digest.
2003-03-24	* For efficiency: md5 integrated into nix.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-65/+809
	* Command `nix ensure' which is like `nix getpkg' except that if the has refers to a run action it will just ensure that the imports are there. * Command `nix closure' to print out the closure of the set of descriptors under the import relation, starting at a set of roots. This can be used for garbage collection (e.g., given a list of `activated' packages, we can delete all packages not reachable from those). * Command `nix graph' to print out a Dot graph of the dependency graph. * `nix-addroot' adds a root for the (unimplemented) garbage collector.
2003-03-24	* Descriptors now have a "system" field specifying the platform that	Eelco Dolstra	4	-32/+1456
	the build or run action should be perfomed on. This ensures that descriptors have different hashes on different platforms.
2003-03-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-66/+37

2003-03-23	* A command to run programs in Nix packages, that is, to execute a run	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+123
	action. Run actions are described by uniquely hashed descriptors, just like build actions. Therefore run actions can have dependencies, but these need not be the same as the build time dependencies (e.g., at runtime we can link against a different version of a dynamic library). Example: nix run 31d6bf4c171282367065e0deecd7c579 will run the Pan 0.13.91 newsreader with gtkspell support.
2003-03-21	* Added a command to list installed packages.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+22

2003-03-21	* Added a command to verify the consistency of the database.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-22/+93

2003-03-21	* Fetch sources from the network.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+29

2003-03-20	* nix-instantiate now instantiantes the closure of the set of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-17/+55
	descriptor templates under the import relation. I.e., we can now say: nix-instantiate outdir foo.nix which will create descriptors for foo.nix and all imported packages in outdir/.
