2006-07-06 * Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in theEelco Dolstra5-8/+7
Nix config file.
2006-06-27 * `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equalEelco Dolstra2-2/+5
to the new version. This is actually useful.
2006-06-20 * Concurrent GC on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra3-73/+146
2006-06-19 * Oops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-06-19 * _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+11
2006-06-19 * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lockEelco Dolstra1-4/+47
files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary.
2006-06-19 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful whenEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-16 * Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
2006-06-15 * In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races betweenEelco Dolstra3-6/+26
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2006-06-14 * Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user Eelco Dolstra1-1/+13
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-06-01 * Minor cleanup.Eelco Dolstra1-7/+3
2006-05-31 * For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listedEelco Dolstra1-3/+20
in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the builder.
2006-05-30 * Not all platforms have sys/select.h.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-05-30 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2006-05-29 * Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+8
2006-05-24 * Some Cygwin fixes.Eelco Dolstra2-6/+7
2006-05-12 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra10-24/+27
2006-05-11 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra10-20/+21
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08 * GCC 2.95 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2006-05-08 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra3-38/+48
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.Eelco Dolstra3-15/+30
2006-05-04 * Use the new ATermMap.Eelco Dolstra10-225/+500
2006-05-02 * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builderEelco Dolstra3-7/+16
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02 * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount ofEelco Dolstra4-19/+54
copying.
2006-05-02 * Removed a bunch of ATreverses.Eelco Dolstra2-17/+20
2006-05-02 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qasEelco Dolstra3-9/+12
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02 * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList byEelco Dolstra1-11/+16
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.Eelco Dolstra3-10/+35
2006-05-01 * Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+1
2006-05-01 * String interpolation. Expressions likeEelco Dolstra5-13/+78
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,Eelco Dolstra5-14/+125
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-24 * Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in theEelco Dolstra1-4/+10
derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that haveEelco Dolstra2-1/+16
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23 * Hm.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2006-03-10 * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlinkEelco Dolstra2-23/+22
components.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions ofEelco Dolstra5-23/+69
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-10 * In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMapEelco Dolstra2-3/+4
re-allocations.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivationsEelco Dolstra1-23/+27
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.
2006-03-09 * Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it usedEelco Dolstra1-5/+7
ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
2006-03-09 * Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-03-09 * Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actualEelco Dolstra2-3/+14
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not "nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path. For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind). Some simple memoization fixes this.
2006-03-08 * When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore allEelco Dolstra3-70/+98
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
2006-03-08 * Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catchEelco Dolstra5-22/+45
Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-03-06 * GCC 4.1 compatibility.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-03-06 * `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing pathsEelco Dolstra9-22/+120
will be built or substituted.
2006-03-06 * Regularise help text a bit.Eelco Dolstra4-4/+4
2006-03-01 * Flags `--to-base32' and `--to-base16' to convert between hex andEelco Dolstra1-2/+19
base-32 hashes.
2006-03-01 * Ouch, parseHash32 was completely broken. All digits >= 4 wereEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
parsed as 4. For a moment I worried that printHash32 was broken, and that would have been really, *really* bad ;-)
2006-03-01 * db.hh shouldn't depend on the Berkeley DB headers.Eelco Dolstra5-3/+13
2006-03-01 * Close the database before the destructor runs.Eelco Dolstra4-0/+15
