2005-07-19 * Prevent repeated wrapping of closed termsEelco Dolstra1-1/+6
(closed(closed(closed(...)))) since this reduces performance by producing bigger terms and killing caching (which incidentally also prevents useful infinite recursion detection).
2005-07-16 * Wat cleanups.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+5
2005-07-16 * Define paths using regexps, as is done in the Flex definition.Eelco Dolstra1-5/+2
2005-07-16 * Make the rejects a bit more compact.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+2
* Add lexical restrictions for keywords.
2005-07-16 * Fix ambiguity.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2005-07-16 * Revive and update the SDF grammar for Nix expressions.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+149
2005-07-12 * In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have argumentsEelco Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-0/+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 Dolstra1-1/+6
2005-05-10 * Typo.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2005-05-09 * Handle store path arguments in `nix-env -i' correctly again.Eelco Dolstra1-9/+30
2005-05-09 * Automatically upgrade the Berkeley DB environment if necessary.Eelco Dolstra2-106/+133
2005-05-08 * Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. ThisEelco Dolstra1-40/+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 Dolstra2-6/+36
2005-05-07 Commit 3000!Eelco Dolstra1-7/+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 Dolstra1-2/+2
2005-05-04 * Include some required header files.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+4
2005-05-04 * FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which isEelco Dolstra3-3/+3
also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04 * Idem (constness fix).Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
* `compare' in GCC 2.95 is broken.
2005-05-04 * GCC 2.95 compatibility fix in constness; strangely, I think thisEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
should not have worked at all.
2005-05-04 * GCC 2.95 compatibility. Prevents internal compiler error in memberEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
template friends.
2005-05-04 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
compatibility fix.
2005-05-02 * Merging from nix-make branch:Eelco Dolstra1-6/+40
- Add __currentTime primitive (dangerous!). - Allow imports of derivations.
2005-04-13 * Remove redundant message.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+0
2005-04-12 * Garbage collector fix: allow deletion of paths that have invalidEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
(but substitutable) referers.
2005-04-11 * Slightly nicer message.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2005-04-10 * Primop `__currentSystem' to return the current platform identifier.Eelco Dolstra2-9/+14
2005-04-08 * nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'.Eelco Dolstra2-4/+4
2005-04-08 * Make `nix-store --query --tree' work on non-derivations (i.e., onEelco Dolstra1-15/+13
any store path).
2005-04-07 * If store paths are specified as sources in Nix expressions, don'tEelco Dolstra1-8/+18
copy them, but use them directly.
2005-04-07 * Support base-32 hash representations.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2005-04-07 * `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-outputEelco Dolstra4-15/+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 Dolstra2-34/+44
2005-03-25 * When finding live paths, the deriver need not be valid.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2005-03-25 * `nix-store --verify': repair bad referer mappings.Eelco Dolstra1-6/+16
2005-03-24 * Create missing log and temproots directories automatically (reportedEelco Dolstra4-13/+25
by Rob).
2005-03-23 * Fix endianness bug.Eelco Dolstra1-18/+18
2005-03-23 * Export the references graph to the build hook.Eelco Dolstra1-14/+30
2005-03-23 * `nix-store --register-validity': allow a path to refer to a pathEelco Dolstra3-25/+63
listed later in the list of new valid paths.
2005-03-23 * Canonicalise path meta-data in `nix-store --register-validity'.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2005-03-23 * nix-store: `--isvalid' -> `--check-validity', `--validpath' ->Eelco Dolstra4-17/+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 Dolstra1-1/+2
2005-03-10 * Check for duplicate attributes and formal parameters in NixEelco Dolstra1-0/+61
expressions.
2005-03-03 * Don't use fork() in copyPath(), but a string buffer.Eelco Dolstra2-47/+17
2005-03-03 * Increase Berkeley DB limits a bit more.Eelco Dolstra2-7/+26
* Maintain the cleanup invariant in clearSubstitutes().
2005-03-02 * `nix-store -q --hash' to quickly query the hash of the contents of aEelco Dolstra3-6/+28
store path (which is stored in the database).
2005-02-23 * When multiple derivations are specified in `nix-store -r', don'tEelco Dolstra1-62/+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 theEelco Dolstra2-14/+33
NAR dump of the path).
2005-02-22 * Compatibility hack so that Nixpkgs can continue to do hash checkingEelco Dolstra2-1/+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 instantiatedEelco Dolstra1-31/+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.
