| 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. | |||
| 2006-09-12 | * "Too many links" error. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-11 | * Support `++'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * More follow restrictions on layout. | |||
| 2006-09-08 | * Remove debug message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-06 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-06 | * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes | Eelco Dolstra | |
| old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff. Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after this. | |||
| 2006-09-05 | * Package the include directory. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-05 | * Missing #include. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-05 | * Sone missing #includes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-04 | * Move setuid stuff to libutil. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Install libexpr header files. | |||
| 2006-09-04 | * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-04 | * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-04 | * Don't need extern "C". | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-04 | * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++ | Eelco Dolstra | |
| marshalling code. | |||
| 2006-09-04 | * Use a proper namespace. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++. | |||
| 2006-09-04 | * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-01 | * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store | Eelco Dolstra | |
| and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... } | |||
| 2006-09-01 | * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too | Eelco Dolstra | |
| bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...) | |||
| 2006-09-01 | * Fix race condition in the test. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-31 | * Doh! Doh! Doh! | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-31 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-30 | * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-30 | * TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictly | Eelco Dolstra | |
| evaluate its arguments. | |||
| 2006-08-30 | * Uninitialised variable. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-29 | * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print | Eelco Dolstra | |
| a warning. | |||
