2016-04-26fix "nix-build" examplesScott R. Parish
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing: error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’) Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix! Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as suggested by @domenkozar
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.

2016-04-11Remove manifest supportEelco Dolstra
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.

This feature was implemented for Hydra, but Hydra no longer uses it.

2015-11-25Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25Eelco Dolstra
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>' gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N: N=10: 3.3541 N=20: 2.9320 N=25: 2.6690 N=30: 2.9417 N=50: 3.2021 N=100: 3.5718 N=150: 4.2079 Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB).

2015-11-10rename `chroot` to `sandbox` (fixes #656, close #682)Vladimír Čunát
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases, also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning - update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented), including a new file with release notes - tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs - __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
2015-11-09Add option to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra
Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)

2015-10-07nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".

2015-10-01nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
