2018-02-22Revert "Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default"Eelco Dolstra
This reverts commit ddc58e789636e1b94149c342575d92583251fbf6. https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1435322
2018-02-22Set release dateEelco Dolstra
2018-02-22Enable sandbox builds on Linux by defaultEelco Dolstra
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it. Issue #179.
2018-02-21Manual: Put configuration options in sorted orderEelco Dolstra
2018-02-21Manual: Update chapter on remote buildsEelco Dolstra
Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store ssh://mac').

2018-02-19Remove macOS multi-user instructionsEelco Dolstra
This is already handled by the installer.

Also add some examples to nix --help.

2018-02-08Allow using RegisterPrimop to define constants.Shea Levy
This enables plugins to add new constants, as well as new primops.
2018-02-08Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.Shea Levy
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.
2018-02-07Merge pull request #1816 from shlevy/add-pathEelco Dolstra
Add path primop.
2018-02-06Add path primop.Shea Levy
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
2018-02-03Remove nix-build --hashEelco Dolstra
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus, after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again. It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but "nix-build --hash" didn't do that.

2018-01-31Rename 1.12 -> 2.0Eelco Dolstra
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).
2018-01-31Add 'nix upgrade-nix' commandEelco Dolstra
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a store path obtained from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix which is the same store path that the installer at https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses. The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS, or when installed outside of the Nix store).

2018-01-04Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute"Eelco Dolstra
Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".

2017-11-20signed-binary-caches -> require-sigsEelco Dolstra
Unlike signed-binary-caches (which could only be '*' or ''), require-sigs is a proper Boolean option. The default is true.
2017-11-20binary-cache-public-keys -> trusted-public-keysEelco Dolstra
The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution from binary caches, but when adding/copying any (non-content-addressed) path to a store.
2017-11-03Remove git:// support in NIX_PATHEelco Dolstra
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted to git:// URIs (since https:// or ssh:// would be ambiguous).
