2013-11-14Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.

2013-10-24Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"Eelco Dolstra
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.

2013-10-17Fold two stack trace messages in derivationsEelco Dolstra
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations are now much less verbose, since something like while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17': while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': ... now reads while evaluating the attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' of the derivation `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': ...

2013-09-03nix-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.

2013-09-02Add an option to limit the log output of buildersEelco Dolstra

2013-08-23Manual: Don't use actual hashes of Nix dependenciesEelco Dolstra
These cause an unnecessary runtime dependency :-)

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.
