2013-10-02	Fix segfault in nix-repl / hydra-eval-jobs	Eelco Dolstra
	If a "with" attribute set fails to evaluate, we have to make sure its Env record remains unchanged. Otherwise, repeated evaluation gives a segfault: nix-repl> :a with 0; { a = x; b = x; } Added 2 variables. nix-repl> a error: value is an integer while an attribute set was expected nix-repl> b Segmentation fault

2013-09-18	build-remote.pl: Don't use substituters on the remote	Eelco Dolstra
	It's kinda pointless to check substituters on the remote side, since we just checked them locally.
2013-09-17	RestoreSink: Slightly reduce the number of concurrent FDs	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-10	Version was called 1.6, not 1.6.0	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-06	Remove stray debug line	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-06	Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)	Eelco Dolstra
	As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So we turn this off for Perl programs.

2013-09-06	nix-shell: Support a .drv as argument	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #161.
2013-09-03	nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’	Eelco Dolstra
	This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces the profile with the specified set of packages. The main motivation is to support declarative package management (similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this: with import <nixpkgs> {}; [ thunderbird geeqie ... ] then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run: $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’ flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed from the actual profile.) Suggested by @zefhemel.
2013-09-03	nix-env: Use wildcard match by default	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, you don't need to pass '' anymore, so nix-env -qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa ''
2013-09-03	nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand	Eelco Dolstra
	So if you do "nix-env -qa -A nixos", then other channels won't be parsed/evaluated at all.
2013-09-03	Check for name collisions in the input Nix expressions	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	Work on Values instead of Exprs	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and nix-instantiate. Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the extension .nix. Previously it was reading files like .../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just the right order).
2013-09-03	Reformat	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	Get rid of the parse tree cache	Eelco Dolstra
	Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching parse trees is redundant. Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.
2013-09-02	Add some support code for nix-repl	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Get rid of a signedness warning	Eelco Dolstra

	Fixes #84.

	Issue #162.
2013-09-02	Fix manual error	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Matija Šuklje. Fixes #163.
2013-09-02	Update the release notes	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Adda test for build-max-log-size	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Only show trace messages when tracing is enabled	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Add an option to limit the log output of builders	Eelco Dolstra
	This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.
2013-08-26	Simplify inherited attribute handling	Shea Levy
	This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets) by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member. As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-08-26	Fix nix-shell command	Ivan Kozik

2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik

2013-08-26	Fix personality switching from x86_64 to i686	Gergely Risko
	On Linux, Nix can build i686 packages even on x86_64 systems. It's not enough to recognize this situation by settings.thisSystem, we also have to consult uname(). E.g. we can be running on a i686 Debian with an amd64 kernel. In that situation settings.thisSystem is i686-linux, but we still need to change personality to i686 to make builds consistent.
2013-08-23	Manual: Don't use actual hashes of Nix dependencies	Eelco Dolstra
	These cause an unnecessary runtime dependency :-)
2013-08-21	Fix corrupt PNG	Eelco Dolstra
	Libpng used to accept this, but no longer does.
2013-08-21	Hack to clean up tests/test-tmp	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-19	Turn on -Wall	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-14	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-14	corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local builds	Shea Levy
	nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH. Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that instantiates it. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2013-08-07	Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client	Eelco Dolstra
	On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s

2013-08-02	Let the ordering operators also work on strings	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. ‘"foo" < "bar"’ now works.

2013-08-02	Add integer ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’ operators	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-02	Add a unary integer negation operator	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows saying "-1" instead of "builtins.sub 0 1".
