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.
