2019-05-08 | Merge pull request #2765 from nh2/manual-nixpkgs-word | Eelco Dolstra | |
manual: "Nix Package collection" -> "Nixpkgs package collection". | |||
2019-05-03 | Add builtins.hashFile | Daniel Schaefer | |
For text files it is possible to do it like so: `builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)` but that doesn't work for binary files. With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed. | |||
2019-04-14 | manual: "Nix Package collection" -> "Nixpkgs package collection". | Niklas Hambüchen | |
Makes difference between Nix and Nixpkgs clearer to avoid some common confusion this sentence on IRC. Also disambiguate an "it" reference. | |||

2019-03-25 | manual: mention the "channel:" shorthand for NIX_PATH | Dmitry Kalinkin | |
Bumped to 15.09 because older channels, when downloaded from nixos.org, require firefox to be accessed via `pkgs.firefox` | |||
2019-03-24 | Add isPath primop | zimbatm | |
this is added for completeness' sake since all the other possible `builtins.typeOf` results have a corresponding `builtins.is<Type>` | |||

2019-01-23 | nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump | Spencer Baugh | |
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line, --dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix database at once. With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export). Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix. | |||

2019-01-07 | Don't look for a "pv" program, or mention it in the manual source | John Ericson | |
The manual reference was commented out, and the sole reference to this program other than the configure script. Removed both. | |||

2018-10-04 | Docs: update fixed output hashes | Benjamin Hipple | |
`fetchurl` will now throw if given an `md5`, and the hashes have generally been upgraded to avoid it and use `sha256` as a default. This updates the documentation examples in the manual accordingly. | |||
