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.
2006-08-29	* Fix the ~ operator.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-29	* Backwards compatibility test for ~.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-28	* In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-28	* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all	Eelco Dolstra
	derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-25	* Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-25	* Map "ppc" to "powerpc" so that Linux on PowerPC will be reported as	Eelco Dolstra
	"powerpc-linux".
2006-08-25	* Doh! (NIX-58)	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-25	* Honour DESTDIR so that bzip2/bunzip2 get installed in the right	Eelco Dolstra
	location when building RPMs (fixes NIX-58).
2006-08-24	* Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from being	Eelco Dolstra
	normalised away.
2006-08-24	* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to	Eelco Dolstra
	an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-24	* Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-24	* Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-23	* Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:	Eelco Dolstra
	$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"' to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in all-packages.nix).
