2006-11-03	* Fix importing of derivation outputs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9

2006-10-30	* readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+15

2006-10-28	* `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if	Eelco Dolstra	4	-4/+43
	available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) \| less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-23	* Some better error messages.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+12

2006-10-19	* Better message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-19	* toFile: maintain the references.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+4

2006-10-19	* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+31
	check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though.
2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+8

2006-10-17	* Print out the offending path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-10-17	* An awful backwards compatibility hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+24

2006-10-17	* baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-17	* Maintain the references for the user environment properly.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-17	* toPath: should be the identity on paths.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2006-10-17	* dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2006-10-17	* toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17	* Do the path check on the normal form.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5

2006-10-17	* Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+6

2006-10-16	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string	Eelco Dolstra	17	-391/+326
	concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-13	* A helpful message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-10-13	* Don't crash when upgrading the Berkeley DB environment.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+6

2006-10-11	* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another	Eelco Dolstra	6	-13/+4
	kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-10	* Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+16
	expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10	* `import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make `import (x + y)'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+14
	work, where x is a store path.
2006-10-05	* Documented nix-store --dump / --restore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-03	* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the	Eelco Dolstra	4	-10/+21
	argument.
2006-10-03	* toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+40
	suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'. * toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
2006-10-02	* Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4

2006-10-02	* Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+14

2006-09-27	* Fix setuid builds.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+9

2006-09-25	* Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+11
	(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-24	* The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+13
	side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24	* Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+26
	* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24	* Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+18

2006-09-24	* lessThan primitive for integer comparison.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9

2006-09-22	* Builtin function `add' to add integers.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+20
	* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22	* Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22	* Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+25
	list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22	* New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+16
	attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)
2006-09-22	* Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not reading	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+26
	regular files into memory all at once.
2006-09-22	* Don't allocate the buffer twice.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+9

2006-09-22	* Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-09-21	* GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+10

2006-09-21	* Fix comment.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2006-09-20	* Shut up a warning.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-09-20	* Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49).	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+16

2006-09-14	* Wow, that bug has been there since r764.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-14	* nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely unlikely) race conditions.
2006-09-14	* Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-22/+26
	Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff) it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink chain in ~/.nix-profile... * Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big garbage collector lock..."). * Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.
2006-09-11	* Support `++'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+14
	* More follow restrictions on layout.
