2017-05-07nix-profile.sh: remove sbin from PATHJörg Thalheim
sbin is a symlink to bin. profiles only contains packages, which have this symlink. It is a subset of bin. related to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25550
2016-10-13SSL_CERT_FILE -> NIX_SSL_CERT_FILEEelco Dolstra
This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on OS X. Fixes #921.
2016-07-29Set $MANPATH (#1005)Alexey Shmalko
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of searching in default location. Either of next lines workaround the issue: ```sh unset MANPATH export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH ``` This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has `MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of user's preferences.) As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

2016-04-10Bring nix-profile.sh in line with NixOSWout Mertens
Use the same logic as NixOS' profile and environment setup. Closes #414
2016-02-16nix-profile.sh.in: find ca-bundle.pem on openSUSE Tumbleweed machinesPeter Simons
2016-02-12nix-profile.sh.in: quote use of $HOME in shell argumentsPeter Simons
All other places in the script do this already, so let's be consistent.
2015-07-01Revert "add the manpath to the installer"Eelco Dolstra
This reverts commit 76f985b92d95fef967c1f3193d05244ced15420b. We shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations (like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.

2012-09-13nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user versionEelco 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.
2012-07-25nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installationsEelco 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.

2012-05-31Update 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
2012-05-22Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.shEelco Dolstra
It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.

2006-03-10* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.Eelco Dolstra
2005-10-11add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is neededArmijn 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 switchesEelco 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 prefixEelco Dolstra
etc. correctly. * Fixed nix-switch.
