2012-11-06	download-from-binary-cache: Try next cache if downloading a NAR fails	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-06	Process binary caches in order of priority	Eelco 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.
2012-11-06	Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache format	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-06	nix-push: Handle pushing a symlink	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-06	Add 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.
2012-11-06	Fix "Not an ARRAY reference" error	Eelco Dolstra
	It's a mystery why this error is not triggered in the build farm (e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3265602). Ah well.
2012-11-06	canonicalizePathMetaData: Fall-back to utimes if lutimes fails due to ENOSYS	Shea Levy

2012-10-23	If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #57.
2012-10-23	nix-prefetch-url: Improve option handling	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-23	prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path	Shea Levy

2012-10-18	nix-push: Add a flag ‘--manifest-path’ to write the manifest to another ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	directory
2012-10-17	nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag	Eelco Dolstra
	If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files in the store, rather than copying them. This is faster and requires less disk space. However, it doesn't work if the store is on a different file system.
2012-10-17	nix-push: Only generate and copy a NAR if it doesn't already exist	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents unnecessary and slow rebuilds of NARs that already exist in the binary cache.
2012-10-12	Typo	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Shea.
2012-10-11	download-from-binary-cache: Remove duplicate entries in trustedURLs	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-11	Shorten the names of temporary build directories	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-10	Out-of-tree building of perl modules.	Mats Erik Andersson

2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-04	XML writer: flush after newlines	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-04	Manual: Don't use a store path that actually exists	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3124130
2012-10-04	nix-store --verify: Continue on errors	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-04	Fix regular expression	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3123177
2012-10-03	Fix the tarball build	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	Fix the test	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	Remove bin2c	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03	Document ‘--repair’	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	nix-build: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-10-03	Handle repairing paths that are in build-chroot-dirs	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	When repairing a derivation, check and repair the entire output closure	Eelco Dolstra
	If we find a corrupted path in the output closure, we rebuild the derivation that produced that particular path.
2012-10-02	Add a --repair flag to ‘nix-store -r’ to repair derivation outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	With this flag, if any valid derivation output is missing or corrupt, it will be recreated by using a substitute if available, or by rebuilding the derivation. The latter may use hash rewriting if chroots are not available.
2012-10-02	nix-store -r: Get rid of an unnecessary call to buildPaths/ensurePaths	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-02	nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	missing/corrupt paths Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after verifying/repairing.
2012-10-02	Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’	Eelco Dolstra
	This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc.
2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-28	Print a more descriptive error message if setting up the build environment fails	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-27	Allow dashes in identifiers	Eelco Dolstra
	In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous.
2012-09-25	Add "on Linux" qualifier	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-25	Make the store writable before creating /nix/store/.links	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-25	Document that Nix requires GNU Make	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #44.
2012-09-25	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-25	Merge branch 'readonly-store'	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-25	Include <sys/types.h> for off_t	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by "gio" on IRC.
2012-09-21	Style fix	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-19	Support xz compression in the download-using-manifests substituter	Eelco Dolstra
