2004-12-20* Simplify the substitute mechanism:Eelco Dolstra
- Drop the store expression. So now a substitute is just a command-line invocation (a program name + arguments). If you register a substitute you are responsible for registering the expression that built it (if any) as a root of the garbage collector. - Drop the substitutes-rev DB table.
2004-02-14* The environment variable NIX_ROOT can now be set to execute Nix in aEelco Dolstra
chroot() environment. * A operation `--validpath' to register path validity. Useful for bootstrapping in a pure Nix environment. * Safety checks: ensure that files involved in store operations are in the store.
