| 2006-02-24 | * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Aha! | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * WTF? | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Separate the cache reading code. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Use right directories for NAR files and patches. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Print errors to STDERR. | |||
| 2006-02-22 | * More tests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well. | |||
| 2006-02-17 | * In "nix-env -i", print a warning if there are multiple derivations | Eelco Dolstra | |
| with the same name *and* version number, and pick the first one (this means that the order in which channels appear in ~/.nix-channels matters). E.g.: $ nix-env ii aterm warning: there are multiple derivations named `aterm-2.4.2'; using the first one installing `aterm-2.4.2' | |||
| 2006-02-17 | * Fix for NIX-31: "nix-env -i foo" installing all derivations named | Eelco Dolstra | |
| foo. Now it will only install the one with the highest version number. | |||
| 2006-02-17 | * And another test. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-17 | * Regression test for NIX-31. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-17 | * Fix the infamous NIX-17: nix-env -i prints misleading messages | Eelco Dolstra | |
| ("installing `foo'" followed by "uninstalling `foo'"). | |||
| 2006-02-16 | * Allow the size of the GC reserved file to be specified in nix.conf | Eelco Dolstra | |
| through the new `gc-reserved-space' option. | |||
| 2006-02-16 | * A simple hack to fix NIX-18: the garbage collector cannot run when | Eelco Dolstra | |
| the disk is full (because to delete something from the Nix store, we need a Berkeley DB transaction, which takes up disk space). Under normal operation, we make sure that there exists a file /nix/var/nix/db/reserved of 1 MB. When running the garbage collector, we delete that file before we open the Berkeley DB environment. | |||
| 2006-02-13 | * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's | Eelco Dolstra | |
| implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. The main benefit is that we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately). OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours. | |||
| 2006-02-13 | * Use a union. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-13 | * Override YYMALLOC and YYFREE so that we can call AT[un]protectMemory | Eelco Dolstra | |
| on the Bison parse stack. Otherwise, a garbage collect during parsing could lead to a crash. | |||
| 2006-02-13 | * Valgrind suppressions for the ATerm library. The ATerm library uses | Eelco Dolstra | |
| a conservative garbage collector that scans the stack and parts of the heap for pointers to ATerms. This scan can touch uninitialised memory, which is harmless. Use: $ valgrind --suppressions=aterm-gc.supp ... | |||
| 2006-02-12 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-10 | * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression! | |||
| 2006-02-10 | * In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| derivation(s) we're interested, e.g., $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11 List elements can also be selected: $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build. | |||
| 2006-02-10 | * Document that nix-instantiate can read from stdin. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-10 | * Make --parse-only work when *not* reading from stdin. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-10 | * Cleanup: use the code shared with nix-env. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-08 | * When querying all derivations, filter out syntactically equal derivations. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-08 | * When evaluating, automatically call functions with default arguments. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-08 | * Test-driven development, woohoo! nix-env should work on functions, | Eelco Dolstra | |
| provided that all arguments have defaults. | |||
| 2006-02-08 | * Oops, fix breakage. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-08 | * Tests for nix-env, finally! | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-08 | * Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-07 | * Don't install nix.conf (so it won't be overriden when you upgrade an RPM). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-03 | * Use setsid instead of setpgrp in child processes. This not only | Eelco Dolstra | |
| creates a new process group but also a new session. New sessions have no controlling tty, so child processes like ssh cannot open /dev/tty (which is bad). | |||
| 2006-02-02 | * When killing a build hook, kill the entire process group (as | Eelco Dolstra | |
| intended). This ensures that any ssh child processes to remote machines are also killed, and thus the Nix process on the remote machine also exits. Without this, the remote Nix process will continue until it exists or until its stdout buffer gets full and it locks up. (Partially fixes NIX-35.) | |||
| 2006-02-01 | * Print a better error message when writing the patched file (e.g., | Eelco Dolstra | |
| "No space left on device" instead of "Success"). Reported by Karina Olmos. | |||
| 2006-02-01 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-01 | * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-01 | * The "S" bit should be based on the output path, not the derivation path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-01 | * Use Berkeley DB 4.4.20. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-01 | * Add @bindir@. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-26 | * Don't force a build of derivations. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-26 | * Oops, the "I" bit in "nix-env -qas" was broken. Reported by Nicolae Vintila. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-19 | * Don't show cycles, they're not very useful. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-12 | * New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a | Eelco Dolstra | |
| useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure | |||
| 2006-01-09 | * dirOf: return "/", not "", for paths in the root directory. Fixes NIX-26. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-08 | * Resolve all symlink components in the location of the temporary | Eelco Dolstra | |
| build directory (TMPDIR, i.e., /tmp). Fixes NIX-26. | |||
| 2005-12-25 | * More GCC 2.95 compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-25 | * Hack around a GCC 2.95 bug. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-24 | * GCC 2.95 compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-12-24 | * Documentation fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
