2014-01-15	nix-profile.sh: Add the Nixpkgs channel to $NIX_PATH	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-09	Use a shorter Nixpkgs channel URL	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-13	nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version	Eelco Dolstra
	Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 copied most of the Nix shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls the "stat" command). So go back to the simple single-user version. Fixes #49.
2012-07-25	nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installations	Eelco Dolstra
	Commit 6a214f3e06fa1c5f0a4d40e555f14d87691af297 reused the NixOS environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.
2012-07-25	Subscribe to the Nixpkgs rather than NixOS channel	Eelco Dolstra

2012-05-31	Update nix profile: - incorporate NixOS's configuration so that nix is ↵	Michel Alexandre Salim
	usable by normal users - install as a data file, not a program file
2012-05-22	Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.sh	Eelco Dolstra
	It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.
2008-11-20	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-10	* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-10-11	add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed	Armijn Hemel
	for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2004-02-06	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra
	default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.
2004-01-16	* Test whether the symlink, not its target, exists.	Eelco Dolstra

2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches	Eelco Dolstra
	the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)
2003-07-28	* Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh	Eelco Dolstra
	dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another glibc so loading barfs. Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, which is consulted by the dynamic linker after LD_LIBRARY_PATH but before ld.so.cache and the system directories.
2003-07-13	* Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefix	Eelco Dolstra
	etc. correctly. * Fixed nix-switch.
