2006-11-30* Troubleshooting information on fixing a b0rked Berkeley DB database.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-14* Push.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-13* Magic attribute `exportReferencesGraph' that allows the referencesEelco Dolstra
graph to be passed to a builder. This attribute should be a list of pairs [name1 path1 name2 path2 ...]. The references graph of each `pathN' will be stored in a text file `nameN' in the temporary build directory. The text files have the format used by `nix-store --register-validity'. However, the deriver fields are left empty. `exportReferencesGraph' is useful for builders that want to do something with the closure of a store path. Examples: the builders that make initrds and ISO images for NixOS. `exportReferencesGraph' is entirely pure. It's necessary because otherwise the only way for a builder to get this information would be to call `nix-store' directly, which is not allowed (though unfortunately possible).
2006-11-13* Option `--reregister' in `nix-store --register-validity'. We needEelco Dolstra
this in the NixOS installer (or in the buildfarm) to ensure that the cryptographic hash of the path contents still matches the actual contents.
2006-10-30* Release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-10-28* `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, ifEelco Dolstra
available. For instance, $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your profile. * `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.
