	Fixes issue #70.
2012-12-11	On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time	Eelco Dolstra
	If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.

2012-12-06	Fix manual generation	Eelco Dolstra
	Grmbl.

2012-12-05	Add a dependency on xz-utils	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-05	Add a dependency on xz	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-05	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-05	Fix RPM build	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3436511
2012-12-05	Add release date	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-05	Support xz compression of nixexprs.tar in channels	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-05	Produce an xz-compressed tarball	Eelco Dolstra
	Footnote: doing "make dist-gzip dist-xz" doesn't work with Automake; you have to do "make dist-gzip; dist-xz". That's because the dist-* targets delete the temporary distdir at the end.

2012-12-04	Test priorities	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	buildenv.pl: Create symlinks in priority order	Eelco Dolstra
	This reduces unnecessary symlink/unlink steps.
2012-12-04	Add a test for ‘nix-env --set-flag active ...’	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
2012-12-03	Test the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-03	Fix the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-03	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-27	Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows adding attributes like attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null; without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms. We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose, but using null seems more elegant.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-26	queryMissing(): Handle partially valid derivations	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-26	Undo accidental debug change	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-26	Fix the multiple-outputs test	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-26	nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluation	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-26	Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download those outputs that are actuallty needed. So if we do "nix-build -A openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded. Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}. The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the corresponding derivation goal if that happens.
2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-23	nix-copy-closure: Add flag ‘--use-substitutes’	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-20	nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.
2012-11-19	nix-store -r: Don't quietly ignore missing paths	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-15	Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 2980d1fba97069805c3649c5d99d0356bce6c303. It causes a regression in NixOS evaluation: string `/nix/store/ya3s5gmj3b28170fpbjhgsk8wzymkpa1-pommed-1.39/etc/pommed.conf' cannot refer to other paths
2012-11-15	Disable use of vfork()	Eelco Dolstra
	vfork() is just too weird. For instance, in this build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487 the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even though the child only reads from it. At -O0 the problem goes away. Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable. If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.
2012-11-15	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-15	Add some debug code	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09	Remove definition of non-existant function	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-09	Remove some redundant close() calls	Eelco Dolstra
	They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra
