2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra	14	-1/+16
	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.
2011-07-20	* Added a test that make sure that users cannot register	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+62
	specially-crafted derivations that produce output paths belonging to other derivations. This could be used to inject malware into the store.
2011-07-20	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-12/+17

2011-07-13	* Allow attribute names to be strings. Based on the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+21
	allow-arbitrary-strinsg-in-names patch by Marc Weber.
2011-07-13	* Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+22
	x.y.z or default (as originally proposed in https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html). For instance, an expression like stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args can now be written as args.features.ckSched or false
2011-07-06	* Test case.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+8

2011-06-30	Add support for the `build-timeout' and `--timeout' options.	Ludovic Courtès	4	-1/+36

2011-02-09	* Urgh, FreeBSD doesn't have a "seq" command.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2011-01-14	* builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3
	return the empty string.
2010-12-05	* Use CamelCase for the Perl modules.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2010-12-05	* Add a script `nix-generate-patches'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+7
	* Fix the binary patching test.
2010-11-17	* Test whether sequences of patches work.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-15/+37

2010-11-17	* In the download size indication, take binary patches into account.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+7
	Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much.
2010-11-17	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2010-11-17	* Finally, a test for the binary patch functionality.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-3/+56

2010-11-17	* Test that download sizes are shown correctly.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+4

2010-11-17	* Fix the test.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2

2010-11-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+13

2010-10-24	* Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-23	* Regression test for listToAttr's behaviour if an attribute name	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+3
	occurs multiple times.
2010-10-22	* Regression test for __overrides.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+10

2010-10-04	* In the referrers test, lower the nesting depth from 2500 to 1000 to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	prevent hitting a stack overflow bug in the garbage collector.
2010-08-25	* Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+15
	the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering those queries until it accepts a build. So if there are N derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.
2010-08-04	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2010-06-25	tests/build-hook.hook.sh: prefer more portable `...` syntax over $(...) for ↵	Peter Simons	1	-2/+2
	running sub-shells The /bin/sh interpreter on Solaris doesn't understand $(...) syntax for running sub-shells. Consequently, this test fails on Solaris. To remedy the situation, the script either needs to be run by /bin/bash -- which is non-standard --, or it needs to use the ancient but portable `...` syntax.
2010-05-12	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	54	-69/+65

2010-05-12	* Print attributes in sorted order.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-05-12	* Implemented tryEval, the last missing primop in the fast-eval	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+6
	branch. Also added a test for tryEval.
2010-05-07	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-1/+6

2010-04-22	* Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+10
	check' now succeeds :-) * An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; }; foo.port = 23; }' now parses. It was previously rejected, but I'm too lazy to implement the check. (The only reason to reject it is that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is rejected, which is kind of ugly.)
2010-04-21	* Update the expected test output (no longer an ATerm).	Eelco Dolstra	35	-39/+38

2010-04-21	* Because --parse-only no longer produces an ATerm, don't check the	Eelco Dolstra	6	-10/+1
	output. Whether it parses at all should be enough.
2010-04-20	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-3/+14

2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+4

2010-04-01	* Removed the `~' operator.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2010-03-31	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2010-03-31	* Fix the broken test for listToAttrs.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+5

2010-03-31	Make source location info in the XML output optional.	Ludovic Courtès	3	-1/+6
	* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location' parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update callers. (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise. * src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype; have `location' default to `false'. * src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add `location' parameter; update callers. (run): Add support for `--no-location'. * src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly. * tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the XML tests. * tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New files.
2010-03-25	* Simplify @-patterns: only `{attrs}@name' or `name@{attrs}' are now	Eelco Dolstra	6	-17/+10
	allowed. So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no longer legal. This is no big loss because they were not useful anyway. This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns slightly.
2010-03-23	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-20/+8

2010-03-23	* Test "with as; with bs;" since nobody knows what its semantics is.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+19

2010-02-24	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2010-02-24	* Disable fsync() in SQLite if the fsync-metadata option is set to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	false. * Change the default for `fsync-metadata' to true. * Disable `fsync-metadata' in `make check'.
2010-02-24	* Set the path to sqlite3 properly.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2010-02-24	* Don't fork so much.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+2

2010-02-19	* Foreign key support in SQLite is not a persistent setting, so enable	Eelco Dolstra	1	-24/+3
	it at startup. * Implement negative caching. Now `make check' passes.
2010-02-18	* Implemented queryValidPaths() and verifyStore().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2010-02-04	* Grmbl. Timing-sensitive tests are evil.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-11-13	* In nix-pull/nix-channel, create the manifests directory if it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+0
	doesn't exist. The Debian packages don't include the manifests directory, so nix-channel would silently skip doing a nix-pull, resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan Pedro Bolívar Puente.
2009-09-15	* Two primops: builtins.intersectAttrs and builtins.functionArgs.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+95
	intersectAttrs returns the (right-biased) intersection between two attribute sets, e.g. every attribute from the second set that also exists in the first. functionArgs returns the set of attributes expected by a function. The main goal of these is to allow the elimination of most of all-packages.nix. Most package instantiations in all-packages.nix have this form: foo = import ./foo.nix { inherit a b c; }; With intersectAttrs and functionArgs, this can be written as: foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { }; where callPackage = f: args: f ((builtins.intersectAttrs (builtins.functionArgs f) pkgs) // args); I.e., foo.nix is called with all attributes from "pkgs" that it actually needs (e.g., pkgs.a, pkgs.b and pkgs.c). (callPackage can do any other generic package-level stuff we might want, such as applying makeOverridable.) Of course, the automatically supplied arguments can be overriden if needed, e.g. foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { c = c_version_2; }; but for the vast majority of packages, this won't be needed. The advantages are to reduce the amount of typing needed to add a dependency (from three sites to two), and to reduce the number of trivial commits to all-packages.nix. For the former, there have been two previous attempts: - Use "args: with args;" in the package's function definition. This however obscures the actual expected arguments of a function, which is very bad. - Use "{ arg1, arg2, ... }:" in the package's function definition (i.e. use the ellipis "..." to allow arbitrary additional arguments), and then call the function with all of "pkgs" as an argument. But this inhibits error detection if you call it with an misspelled (or obsolete) argument.
