| 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). | |||
| 2006-08-23 | * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate | Eelco Dolstra | |
| foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr". | |||
| 2006-08-23 | * Quotes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-23 | * New primop: abort "error message". | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-23 | * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing | Eelco Dolstra | |
| all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'. | |||
| 2006-08-22 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
