| 2006-10-31 | * Oops, `nix-build --no-out-link' was broken. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-28 | * Don't use EPSV. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-19 | * nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-10-12 | * Reduce the maximum archive size for patch generation to 100 MB to | Eelco Dolstra | |
| prevent trashing on nix.cs.uu.nl. | |||
| 2006-10-04 | * tmpnam() -> File::Temp::tempdir(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-25 | * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly | Eelco Dolstra | |
| (e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front"; particularly important when doing upgrades later on). | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at | Eelco Dolstra | |
| a different location than the user's. This makes channels usable as a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under non-standard prefixes. (NIX-57) | |||
| 2006-09-25 | * Clean up calls to system(). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-25 | * Use builtins.toPath. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-21 | * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg. | |||
| 2006-09-21 | * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store. | |||
| 2006-09-20 | * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-20 | * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates | Eelco Dolstra | |
| NARs. Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21). * Better help. | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * Doh. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-19 | * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Restore the mtime on modified directories. | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking | Eelco Dolstra | |
| all identitical files in the Nix store to each other. (Previously it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.) | |||
| 2006-09-19 | * Cleanups. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-09-19 | * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of | Eelco Dolstra | |
| package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile. It shows the number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the average size). $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default gcc 11 3.3.6 19293318 3.4.4 21425257 ... average 14942970, waste 149429707 coreutils 6 ... average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space of the Nix approach. | |||
| 2006-09-06 | * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes | Eelco Dolstra | |
| old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then runs the garbage collector. Quick way to get rid of all old stuff. Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after this. | |||
| 2006-08-09 | * file:/ -> file:// | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-08 | rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. Default | Armijn Hemel | |
| values are not changed. | |||
| 2006-08-07 | * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between | Eelco Dolstra | |
| environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case insensitive). | |||
| 2006-08-05 | add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we ↵ | Armijn Hemel | |
| have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on | |||
| 2006-08-05 | prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. | Armijn Hemel | |
| 2006-08-04 | * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-04 | * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-03 | urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC! | Armijn Hemel | |
| 2006-08-01 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-08-01 | add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. This | Armijn Hemel | |
| is only for local copies (so file:///) | |||
| 2006-07-28 | * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed | Eelco Dolstra | |
| to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks. | |||
| 2006-07-21 | * Don't try to do DNS lookups. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-07-19 | * Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector, | Eelco Dolstra | |
| such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program). | |||
| 2006-05-31 | * This may be useful in the future. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-05-08 | * Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-14 | * Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g., | Eelco Dolstra | |
| $ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache | |||
| 2006-03-10 | * Write messages to stderr, not stdout. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-03 | * More online help. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-03-03 | * Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out | Eelco Dolstra | |
| that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD). Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency). | |||
| 2006-02-24 | * Remove debug statement. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-24 | * A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base or | Eelco Dolstra | |
| target no longer applies to any available release. This is a partial fix for NIX-34 (when producing linear patch sequences between releases, the number of patches grows without bound). | |||
| 2006-02-24 | * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Separate the cache reading code. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-02-22 | * Use right directories for NAR files and patches. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Print errors to STDERR. | |||
| 2006-02-10 | * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression! | |||
| 2006-02-01 | * Add @bindir@. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-26 | * Don't force a build of derivations. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2006-01-12 | * New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a | Eelco Dolstra | |
| useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure | |||
| 2005-12-13 | * Change `referer' to `referrer' throughout. In particular, the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old ones are still accepted for compatibility). | |||
