2013-08-26Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manualIvan Kozik
2013-08-23Manual: Don't use actual hashes of Nix dependenciesEelco Dolstra
These cause an unnecessary runtime dependency :-)
2013-08-21Fix corrupt PNGEelco Dolstra
Libpng used to accept this, but no longer does.
2013-07-19Add hacking notes plus a script for running nix-shellEelco Dolstra
2013-07-19Rename ‘nix-build --run-env’ to ‘nix-shell’Eelco Dolstra
2013-07-19nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flagEelco Dolstra
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.

2013-07-11nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shellEelco Dolstra
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.
2013-07-03Manual: auto-optimise-store is disabled by defaultEelco Dolstra
2013-07-01Add support for uncompressed NARs in binary cachesEelco Dolstra

2013-05-07Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted caches are ignored.

Issue #88.
2013-01-04Fix "0 store paths deleted" messageEelco Dolstra
2013-01-03Clear any immutable bits in the Nix storeEelco Dolstra
Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.

Fixes #24.
2012-12-21download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than ↵Eelco Dolstra
root This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon) installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user" is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

2012-12-12Allow setting the profile location using $NIX_PROFILEEelco Dolstra
Fixes #69.

2012-11-23nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’Eelco Dolstra
2012-11-20nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flagEelco Dolstra
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

2012-11-06Process binary caches in order of priorityEelco Dolstra
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache formatEelco Dolstra
2012-11-06Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’Eelco Dolstra
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
