2012-04-13	nix-copy-closure: Move the progressViewer directly adjacent to the ssh call ↵	Shea Levy
	so that network progress is what's measured
2012-04-13	Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closure	Shea Levy

2012-04-10	Unconfuse Rob	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-19	Add a command "nix-build --run-env" to reproduce the environment of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	This command builds or fetches all dependencies of the given derivation, then starts a shell with the environment variables from the derivation. This shell also sources $stdenv/setup to initialise the environment further. The current directory is not changed. Thus this is a convenient way to reproduce a build environment in an existing working tree. Existing environment variables are left untouched (unless the derivation overrides them). As a special hack, the original value of $PATH is appended to the $PATH produced by $stdenv/setup. Example session: $ nix-build --run-env '<nixpkgs>' -A xterm (the dependencies of xterm are built/fetched...) $ tar xf $src $ ./configure $ make $ emacs (... hack source ...) $ make $ ./xterm
2012-03-05	nix-copy-closure: don't print copied path on stdout	Eelco Dolstra
	We're already printing progress on stderr, so printing them on stdout afterwards is kind of useless.
2012-03-05	Restore progress indication during nix-copy-closure	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-18	* Don't distribute Store.cc, it's generated automatically by xsubpp.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-18	* Pass the appropriate flags to GCC when building the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra
	Without these, Nix fails on 32-bit Linux with Perl 5.14, with a rather unhelpful error message: Not a CODE reference at /nix/store/n6kpbacn6nn7i3i735v8j3di8aqyl07v-perl-5.14.2/lib/perl5/5.14.2/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm This is likely because the lack of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 causes various Perl structures to not match what the Perl interpreter expects.
2012-01-12	* ‘-module’ causes the generated library to have an .so extension on	Eelco Dolstra
	Mac OS X instead of .dylib, so don't do that.
2012-01-11	perl: Build libNixStore.la with `-module'.	Ludovic Courtès

2012-01-11	* Figure out the extension of dynamic libraries; don't hard-code .so.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-05	* Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other	Eelco Dolstra
	scripts. * Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will run on another version.
2012-01-03	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* Ignore missing manifest symlinks.	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* Add a test for nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2011-12-02	* Add some more functions to the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-29	* Don't require a specific Perl version.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-29	* Fix make check.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-29	* download-using-manifests: use the Perl bindings.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-29	* For consistency with "nix-store -q --hash", produce hashes in	Eelco Dolstra
	base-32. (This affects Hydra manifests.)
2011-11-23	* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of	Eelco Dolstra
	‘nix-store --export’. * Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of ‘nix-copy-closure --to’. This is used by build-remote.pl so it no longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process. Also, it uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a separate nix-store process either. As a result, nix-copy-closure and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due to an "Argument list too long" error. (Note that having very many dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the environment can become too large. Can't be helped though.)
2011-11-23	* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-22	* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to	Eelco Dolstra
	libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-11-16	* nix-pull: update the Nix manifest cache if necessary. Also, don't	Eelco Dolstra
	read the manifest just to check the version and print the number of paths. This makes nix-pull very fast for the cached cache (speeding up nixos-rebuild without the ‘--no-pull’ or ‘--fast’ options).
2011-11-16	* Don't decompress the manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifest. This saves	Eelco Dolstra
	disk space, and, since they're typically only decompressed once (to fill the manifest cache), doesn't make things slower.
2011-11-16	* Remove obsolete line.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-11-16	* Re-use prepared statements across insertions into the manifest cache	Eelco Dolstra
	DB. This speeds up creating the cache from 16.1s to 7.9s on my system.
2011-10-11	* Use the Store API bindings in nix-copy-closure.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-11	* Move SSH.pm.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-11	* Distribute GeneratePatches.pm.	Eelco Dolstra

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra
	the Nix:: namespace.
2011-10-10	* Include the Nix Perl bindings in Nix itself. This will allow the	Eelco Dolstra
	bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts. The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
