2013-07-19nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flagEelco Dolstra
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-11nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shellEelco Dolstra
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.
