2004-01-21	* Extra bit `S' in `--query --status' output: show whether there are	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	any substitutes for the derivation.
2004-01-21	* Fixed a subtle uninitialised variable bug in ATermMaps copied from	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	ATermMaps. Found thanks to Valgrind!
2004-01-20	* Absolutise the specified path in `--import' and `--profile'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-01-15	* Remove debug message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2004-01-15	* Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt	Eelco Dolstra	13	-4/+86
	Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged. Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()). Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.
2004-01-15	* Obsolete.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-290/+0

2004-01-15	* In `nix-env --query --status', determine the `I' bit by looking at	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+7
	the output path of a derivation, not the path of its store expression. This ensures that changes that affect the path of the store expression but not the output path, do not affect the `installed' state of a derivation.
2004-01-13	* Option `-B' to always show the output of builders, regardless of	Eelco Dolstra	4	-1/+9
	verbosity level.
2004-01-13	* Periodically checkpoint the log.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2004-01-13	* Tricky: make sure that the accessor count is not reset to 0 if	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	recovery fails.
2004-01-13	* Print error messages, not debug messages.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+9

2004-01-12	* Changed the extension for store expressions from ".nix" to ".store"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	(following the Usenix paper).
2004-01-09	* Option `--force-realise' in `nix-store --query'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+12

2004-01-07	* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed. * IMPORTANT * If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone. Do the following: - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db. - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1 - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra	7	-42/+86
	path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+24
	the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)
2003-12-30	* RPM spec file.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+8
	* Respect DESTDIR variable.
2003-12-23	* Fixed a bug in the upgrade operation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+13

2003-12-22	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-3/+13

2003-12-22	* Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say	Eelco Dolstra	2	-24/+165
	nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so nix-env -u foo.nix '' will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if available. The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator: TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0); TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1); TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1); TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1); (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater) A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful output, e.g., $ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
2003-12-21	* Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-34/+106
	nix-env -i foo.nix subversion The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the first dash not followed by a letter.
2003-12-21	* `-u' -> `-e'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-39/+58
	* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current).
2003-12-21	* Bug fix: parallel builds of the same derivation failed due to lock file ↵	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+5
	removal.
2003-12-05	* Allow successors that don't exist but have a substitute.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-34/+73
	* Integrity: check in successor / substitute registration whether the target path exists or has a substitute.
2003-12-02	* Add missing files to `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+3

2003-12-02	* Regression fix: query flags (e.g., "-qsf") were broken.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra	13	-31/+125
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-12-01	* Fix `make check'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2003-12-01	* Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
	"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
