From d127f9bd0e7b9b2e0df2de8a2227f77c0907468d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Ambo Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 17:39:39 +0200 Subject: chore(3p/nix): unvendor tvix 0.1 Nothing is using this now, and we'll likely never pick this up again, but we learned a lot in the process. Every now and then this breaks in some bizarre way on channel bumps and it's just a waste of time to maintain that.

- -Release 0.10 (2006-10-06) - -This version of Nix uses Berkeley DB 4.4 instead of 4.3. -The database is upgraded automatically, but you should be careful not -to use old versions of Nix that still use Berkeley DB 4.3. In -particular, if you use a Nix installed through Nix, you should run - - -$ nix-store --clear-substitutes - -first. - -Also, the database schema has changed slighted to fix a -performance issue (see below). When you run any Nix 0.10 command for -the first time, the database will be upgraded automatically. This is -irreversible. - - - - - - - - nix-env usability improvements: - - - - An option - (or ) has been added to nix-env - --query to allow you to compare installed versions of - packages to available versions, or vice versa. An easy way to - see if you are up to date with what’s in your subscribed - channels is nix-env -qc \*. - - nix-env --query now takes as - arguments a list of package names about which to show - information, just like , etc.: for - example, nix-env -q gcc. Note that to show - all derivations, you need to specify - \*. - - nix-env -i - pkgname will now install - the highest available version of - pkgname, rather than installing all - available versions (which would probably give collisions) - (NIX-31). - - nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run now - shows exactly which missing paths will be built or - substituted. - - nix-env -qa --description - shows human-readable descriptions of packages, provided that - they have a meta.description attribute (which - most packages in Nixpkgs don’t have yet). - - - - - - - New language features: - - - - Reference scanning (which happens after each - build) is much faster and takes a constant amount of - memory. - - String interpolation. Expressions like - - -"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" - - can now be written as - - -"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" - - You can write arbitrary expressions within - ${...}, not just - identifiers. - - Multi-line string literals. - - String concatenations can now involve - derivations, as in the example "--with-freetype2-library=" - + freetype + "/lib". This was not previously possible - because we need to register that a derivation that uses such a - string is dependent on freetype. The - evaluator now properly propagates this information. - Consequently, the subpath operator (~) has - been deprecated. - - Default values of function arguments can now - refer to other function arguments; that is, all arguments are in - scope in the default values - (NIX-45). - - - - Lots of new built-in primitives, such as - functions for list manipulation and integer arithmetic. See the - manual for a complete list. All primops are now available in - the set builtins, allowing one to test for - the availability of primop in a backwards-compatible - way. - - Real let-expressions: let x = ...; - ... z = ...; in .... - - - - - - - New commands nix-pack-closure and - nix-unpack-closure than can be used to easily - transfer a store path with all its dependencies to another machine. - Very convenient whenever you have some package on your machine and - you want to copy it somewhere else. - - - XML support: - - - - nix-env -q --xml prints the - installed or available packages in an XML representation for - easy processing by other tools. - - nix-instantiate --eval-only - --xml prints an XML representation of the resulting - term. (The new flag forces ‘deep’ - evaluation of the result, i.e., list elements and attributes are - evaluated recursively.) - - In Nix expressions, the primop - builtins.toXML converts a term to an XML - representation. This is primarily useful for passing structured - information to builders. - - - - - - - You can now unambiguously specify which derivation to - build or install in nix-env, - nix-instantiate and nix-build - using the / flags, which - takes an attribute name as argument. (Unlike symbolic package names - such as subversion-1.4.0, attribute names in an - attribute set are unique.) For instance, a quick way to perform a - test build of a package in Nixpkgs is nix-build - pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix -A - foo. nix-env -q - --attr shows the attribute names corresponding to each - derivation. - - - If the top-level Nix expression used by - nix-env, nix-instantiate or - nix-build evaluates to a function whose arguments - all have default values, the function will be called automatically. - Also, the new command-line switch can be used to specify - function arguments on the command line. - - - nix-install-package --url - URL allows a package to be - installed directly from the given URL. - - - Nix now works behind an HTTP proxy server; just set - the standard environment variables http_proxy, - https_proxy, ftp_proxy or - all_proxy appropriately. Functions such as - fetchurl in Nixpkgs also respect these - variables. - - - nix-build -o - symlink allows the symlink to - the build result to be named something other than - result. - - - - - - Platform support: - - - - Support for 64-bit platforms, provided a suitably - patched ATerm library is used. Also, files larger than 2 - GiB are now supported. - - Added support for Cygwin (Windows, - i686-cygwin), Mac OS X on Intel - (i686-darwin) and Linux on PowerPC - (powerpc-linux). - - Users of SMP and multicore machines will - appreciate that the number of builds to be performed in parallel - can now be specified in the configuration file in the - build-max-jobs setting. - - - - - - - Garbage collector improvements: - - - - Open files (such as running programs) are now - used as roots of the garbage collector. This prevents programs - that have been uninstalled from being garbage collected while - they are still running. The script that detects these - additional runtime roots - (find-runtime-roots.pl) is inherently - system-specific, but it should work on Linux and on all - platforms that have the lsof - utility. - - nix-store --gc - (a.k.a. nix-collect-garbage) prints out the - number of bytes freed on standard output. nix-store - --gc --print-dead shows how many bytes would be freed - by an actual garbage collection. - - nix-collect-garbage -d - removes all old generations of all profiles - before calling the actual garbage collector (nix-store - --gc). This is an easy way to get rid of all old - packages in the Nix store. - - nix-store now has an - operation to delete specific paths - from the Nix store. It won’t delete reachable (non-garbage) - paths unless is - specified. - - - - - - - Berkeley DB 4.4’s process registry feature is used - to recover from crashed Nix processes. - - - - A performance issue has been fixed with the - referer table, which stores the inverse of the - references table (i.e., it tells you what store - paths refer to a given path). Maintaining this table could take a - quadratic amount of time, as well as a quadratic amount of Berkeley - DB log file space (in particular when running the garbage collector) - (NIX-23). - - Nix now catches the TERM and - HUP signals in addition to the - INT signal. So you can now do a killall - nix-store without triggering a database - recovery. - - bsdiff updated to version - 4.3. - - Substantial performance improvements in expression - evaluation and nix-env -qa, all thanks to Valgrind. Memory use has - been reduced by a factor 8 or so. Big speedup by memoisation of - path hashing. - - Lots of bug fixes, notably: - - - - Make sure that the garbage collector can run - successfully when the disk is full - (NIX-18). - - nix-env now locks the profile - to prevent races between concurrent nix-env - operations on the same profile - (NIX-7). - - Removed misleading messages from - nix-env -i (e.g., installing - `foo' followed by uninstalling - `foo') (NIX-17). - - - - - - Nix source distributions are a lot smaller now since - we no longer include a full copy of the Berkeley DB source - distribution (but only the bits we need). - - Header files are now installed so that external - programs can use the Nix libraries. - - - -
