2014-07-30	Rename nixPath to __nixPath	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	The name ‘nixPath’ breaks existing code.
2014-05-29	Fix test	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2014-05-26	Make the Nix search path declarative	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can override the search path simply by saying let nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ]; in ... <nixpkgs> ... In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit c273c15cb13bb86420dda1e5341a4e19517532b5), the Nix search path can be propagated across imports, e.g. let overrides = { nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath; import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn; scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn; builtins = builtins // overrides; }; in scopedImport overrides ./nixos
2014-05-26	Ensure that -I flags get included in nixPath	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Also fixes #261.
2014-05-26	Add constant ‘nixPath’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+8
	It contains the Nix expression search path as a list of { prefix, path } sets, e.g. [ { path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos"; prefix = ""; } { path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"; prefix = "nixos-config"; } { path = "/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/share/nix/corepkgs"; prefix = "nix"; } ]
2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-08-06	* Add the Nix corepkgs to the end of the search path. This makes it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	possible for other Nix expressions to use corepkgs (mostly useful for the buildenv function).
2011-08-06	* Allow redirections in search path entries. E.g. if you have a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	directory /home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates that you want to use as the directory for import such as with (import <nixpkgs> { }); then you can say $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
