2006-11-14* Use the patched ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-14* Push.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-13* Remove the undocumented `noscan' feature. It's no longer necessaryEelco Dolstra
now that reference scanning is sufficiently streamy.
2006-11-13* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the referencesEelco Dolstra
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible).
2006-11-13* Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We needEelco Dolstra
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents.
2006-11-13* Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wackyEelco Dolstra
results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-11-07* Fix the locking patch for Berkeley DB 4.5.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-03* Fix importing of derivation outputs.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-31* Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-30* Release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-30* readFile: don't overflow the stack on large files.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-28* Don't use EPSV.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-28* `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, ifEelco Dolstra
available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
2006-10-26* Typo reported by Arie Middelkoop.Eelco Dolstra
* Left out close-quote in example.
2006-10-23* Some better error messages.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four yearsEelco Dolstra
old...
2006-10-19* Checks for allowedReferences and some other features.Eelco Dolstra
* Use nix-build in a test.
2006-10-19* Better message.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* toFile: maintain the references.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-19* Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix toEelco Dolstra
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the specified set. For instance, allowedReferences = []; specifies that the output cannot have any references. (This is useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity). It could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies, e.g., {gcc, dynlib}: derivation { ... allowedReferences = [dynlib]; } says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not `gcc'. A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for this, though.
2006-10-17* Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Print out the offending path.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* An awful backwards compatibility hack.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Maintain the references for the user environment properly.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Another test.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), andEelco Dolstra
the semantic changes.
2006-10-17* toPath: should be the identity on paths.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to passEelco Dolstra
non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17* Do the path check on the normal form.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-17* Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-16* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, stringEelco Dolstra
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl.
2006-10-11* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just anotherEelco Dolstra
kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-11* Merge 0.10.1 release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-10* Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the NixEelco Dolstra
expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10* `import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make `import (x + y)'Eelco Dolstra
work, where x is a store path.
