2006-10-11 * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just anotherEelco Dolstra3-3/+3
kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-03 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store pathEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
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 Dolstra2-0/+15
2006-09-24 * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+4
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24 * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+4
2006-09-24 * lessThan primitive for integer comparison.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2006-09-22 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.Eelco Dolstra8-26/+48
* 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 Dolstra2-0/+20
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 ofEelco Dolstra2-0/+14
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 forEelco Dolstra2-0/+11
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)
2006-09-21 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).Eelco Dolstra7-16/+45
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
2006-09-01 * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the storeEelco Dolstra1-6/+22
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (TooEelco Dolstra2-1/+2
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-09-01 * Fix race condition in the test.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-08-30 * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+0
2006-08-30 * TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictlyEelco Dolstra2-0/+4
evaluate its arguments.
2006-08-29 * Backwards compatibility test for ~.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-24 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression toEelco Dolstra2-0/+2
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-23 * New primop: abort "error message".Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2006-08-23 * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containingEelco Dolstra2-0/+13
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-22 * Urgh (see NIX-56).Eelco Dolstra2-8/+10
2006-08-17 * Distribute *.exp.xml.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-08-17 * Test for `nix-instantiate --eval-only --xml'.Eelco Dolstra4-1/+68
2006-08-16 * Meh.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2006-08-16 * A test for NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+18
2006-07-24 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra1-0/+7
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24 * `touch' might not be in $PATH.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2006-07-24 * Tests for domain checks.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+15
2006-07-24 * Refactoring to support domain checks.Eelco Dolstra3-3/+3
2006-07-21 * Purify `make check'.Eelco Dolstra25-29/+27
2006-07-21 * Test for runtime root finding.Eelco Dolstra5-5/+64
2006-07-20 * Doh.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-07-20 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to preventEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-19 * Add a precise test for hashDerivatioModulo.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+34
2006-07-10 * This expression has an undefined variable which isn't detected, soEelco Dolstra1-0/+11
evaluation fails: error: impossible: undefined variable `gcc'
2006-06-16 * Skip this test on Cygwin, too slow (and doesn't test anything ↵Eelco Dolstra1-0/+3
Cygwin-specific).
2006-05-29 * Handle $PATHs with spaces.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-05-08 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra2-0/+2
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-02 * More tests.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+9
2006-05-02 * Tests for NIX-45.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+21
2006-05-01 * String interpolation. Expressions likeEelco Dolstra2-2/+10
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${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 Dolstra3-4/+5
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-04-25 * Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in theEelco Dolstra2-0/+6
externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-03-10 * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlinkEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
components.
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions ofEelco Dolstra2-2/+10
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 * Oops.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2006-03-10 * `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivationsEelco Dolstra1-22/+22
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 "*"'.
2006-03-01 * Tests for fixed-output derivations (and attribute selection, incidentally).Eelco Dolstra5-1/+67
2006-03-01 * Tests to prevent a repeat of the parseHash32 debacle.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+7
2006-03-01 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
