| 2006-10-02 | * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-02 | * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-02 | * Manual updates (especially how nix-build makes testing packages much | Eelco Dolstra | |
| easier; no longer need a helper expression). | |||
| 2006-10-02 | * Manual. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-29 | * One-click installs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-29 | * Document nix-install-package and the nixpkg file format. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-29 | * Manual. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-29 | * Manual updates, some style improvements. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-28 | * Manual updates. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Documented nix-{pack,unpack}-closure. | |||
| 2006-09-27 | * Fix setuid builds. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-27 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-27 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-26 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-25 | * Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs" | Eelco Dolstra | |
| for packages that should be propagated to the user environment. | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinked | Eelco Dolstra | |
| *after* the packages that have been explicitly installed, and collisions are ignored. | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on). | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at | Eelco Dolstra | |
| a different location than the user's. This makes channels usable as a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under non-standard prefixes. (NIX-57) | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * Clean up calls to system(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-25 | * Use builtins.toPath. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-24 | * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand | Eelco Dolstra | |
| side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping. | |||
| 2006-09-24 | * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence. | |||
| 2006-09-24 | * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-24 | * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-22 | * Builtin function `add' to add integers. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * 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 Dolstra | |
| 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 of | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 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 for | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 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) | |||
| 2006-09-22 | * Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not reading | Eelco Dolstra | |
| regular files into memory all at once. | |||
| 2006-09-22 | * Supply the 64-bit ATerm patch, but don't apply it (since that | Eelco Dolstra | |
| requires rerunning Autoconf/Automake). Interested users should do that themselves. | |||
| 2006-09-22 | * Don't allocate the buffer twice. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-22 | * Don't allocate more than SIZE_MAX bytes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-22 | * Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (NIX-22). | |||
| 2006-09-21 | * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-21 | * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * `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. | |||
| 2006-09-21 | * Fix comment. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-21 | * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Shut up a warning. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store. | |||
| 2006-09-20 | * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Check for patch (NIX-59). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates | Eelco Dolstra | |
| NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help. | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-19 | * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Restore the mtime on modified directories. | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking | Eelco Dolstra | |
| all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.) | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * Cleanups. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-19 | * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of | Eelco Dolstra | |
| package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the average size). $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default gcc 11 3.3.6 19293318 3.4.4 21425257 ... average 14942970, waste 149429707 coreutils 6 ... average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space of the Nix approach. | |||
| 2006-09-14 | * Wow, that bug has been there since r764. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-14 | * nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations / | Eelco Dolstra | |
| --delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely unlikely) race conditions. | |||
| 2006-09-14 | * Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely add a new root. So if nix-env started after and finished before the garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff) it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink chain in ~/.nix-profile... * Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big garbage collector lock..."). * Don't loop trying to create a new generation. It's not necessary anymore since profiles are locked nowadays. | |||
