2003-12-05* Refactoring: put the manifest-reading code in a separate file.Eelco Dolstra
2003-12-04* Fix for too long command lines when calling `nix-storeMartin Bravenboer
--register-[substitutes|successors].
2003-12-01* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:Eelco Dolstra
$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-12-01* Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,Eelco Dolstra
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-11-24* One-click installation :-)Eelco Dolstra
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches), unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the user's environment. For best results, associate the command `xterm -e /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type `application/x-nix-package' and visit http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.
2003-11-24* Fix nix-pull.Eelco Dolstra
2003-11-24* Get rid of tab characters.Eelco Dolstra
2003-10-27* Don't cache the manifest.Eelco Dolstra
2003-10-16* Remove some debug output.Eelco Dolstra
2003-10-16* Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.Eelco Dolstra
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr. * Fix now allows the specification of the full output path. This should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash generation. * Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
2003-08-15* A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the NixEelco Dolstra
store, and print its hash.
2003-08-15* Don't use a temporary file.Eelco Dolstra
2003-08-05* Made nix-pull much faster by performing all Fix instantiations atEelco Dolstra
the same time.
2003-07-29* Bug: Fix does not allow empty names, so don't generate them.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-22* Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they areEelco Dolstra
substituting for (obvious, really). * For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus preventing a path copy. * Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e., build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism that such expressions are not used interchangeably.
2003-07-21* Changed nix-pull to match nix-push.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-16* Substitute fixes.Eelco Dolstra
2003-07-13* Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefixEelco Dolstra
etc. correctly. * Fixed nix-switch.
