2014-03-30	nix-collect-garbage: Add --delete-older-than option	Ricardo M. Correia

2014-03-30	Fix nix-shell for derivation with multiple outputs	Maxim Ivanov
	If derivation declares multiple outputs and first (default) output if not "out", then "nix-instantiate" calls return path with output names appended after "!". Than suffix must be stripped before ant path checks are done.
2014-03-17	nix-build: Fix --cores flag	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-26	Installer: Handle Darwin	Eelco Dolstra
	"cp -r" doesn't copy symlinks properly on Darwin, but "cp -R" does. Fixes #215.
2014-02-26	Also provide an option for setting the curl connection timeout	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-26	Respect $NIX_CONNECT_TIMEOUT properly	Eelco Dolstra
	We were 1) using CURLOPT_TIMEOUT instead of CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT; 2) not passing it to the curl child process. Issue #93.
2014-02-26	Add ~/.nix-profile/sbin to $PATH	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #112.
2014-02-26	Fix broken patch	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-26	use USER environmental variable if getting user id by getpwuid is failed in ↵	Ian-Woo Kim
	perl scripts: download-from-binary-cache.pl and nix-channel
2014-02-19	nix-shell: Add --packages flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the specified packages from Nixpkgs. For example: $ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11 hello will start a shell in which the given packages are present.
2014-02-19	nix-instantiate: Add a flag --expr / -E to read expressions from the command ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	line This is basically a shortcut for ‘echo 'expr...' \| nix-instantiate -’. Also supported by nix-build and nix-shell.
2014-02-19	nix-shell: Don't leave a temporary directory in /tmp behind	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-18	Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.
2014-02-17	nix-shell: Execute shellHook if it exists	Eelco Dolstra
	Since normal builds don't execute shellHook, this allows nix-shell specific customisation. Suggested by Domen.
2014-02-10	Force use of Bash	Eelco Dolstra
	"echo -n" doesn't work with /bin/sh on Darwin.
2014-02-10	Binary tarball: Automatically create /nix	Eelco Dolstra
	The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere. The installation script uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist. It also fetches the nixpkgs-unstable channel.
2014-02-10	Binary tarball: Automatically fetch the Nixpkgs channel	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-10	nix-shell: Use shell.nix as the default expression if it exists	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-01	Merge branch 'make'	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-01	Fix "make dist"	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-01	Remove Automakefiles	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-01	Update Makefile variable names	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-30	Rename Makefile -> local.mk	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-23	nix-shell: Add --impure flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This is currently the default, but I might change that to --pure in the future.
2014-01-23	nix-shell: Preserve the TZ variable of the user	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-23	nix-build: Refactor	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-21	Merge branch 'master' into make	Eelco Dolstra
	Conflicts: src/libexpr/eval.cc
2014-01-15	nix-profile.sh: Add the Nixpkgs channel to $NIX_PATH	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-13	nix-shell: Don't set NIX_INDENT_MAKE	Eelco Dolstra
	It generally is not useful in interactive environments (and messes up some non-ANSI-compliant terminals).
2014-01-13	nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL before evaluating	Eelco Dolstra

2014-01-08	Support cryptographically signed binary caches	Eelco Dolstra
	NAR info files in binary caches can now have a cryptographic signature that Nix will verify before using the corresponding NAR file. To create a private/public key pair for signing and verifying a binary cache, do: $ openssl genrsa -out ./cache-key.sec 2048 $ openssl rsa -in ./cache-key.sec -pubout > ./cache-key.pub You should also come up with a symbolic name for the key, such as "cache.example.org-1". This will be used by clients to look up the public key. (It's a good idea to number keys, in case you ever need to revoke/replace one.) To create a binary cache signed with the private key: $ nix-push --dest /path/to/binary-cache --key ./cache-key.sec --key-name cache.example.org-1 The public key (cache-key.pub) should be distributed to the clients. They should have a nix.conf should contain something like: signed-binary-caches = * binary-cache-public-key-cache.example.org-1 = /path/to/cache-key.pub If all works well, then if Nix fetches something from the signed binary cache, you will see a message like: *** Downloading ‘http://cache.example.org/nar/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’ (signed by ‘cache.example.org-1’) to ‘/nix/store/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’... On the other hand, if the signature is wrong, you get a message like NAR info file `http://cache.example.org/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j.narinfo' has an invalid signature; ignoring Signatures are implemented as a single line appended to the NAR info file, which looks like this: Signature: 1;cache.example.org-1;HQ9Xzyanq9iV...muQ== Thus the signature has 3 fields: a version (currently "1"), the ID of key, and the base64-encoded signature of the SHA-256 hash of the contents of the NAR info file up to but not including the Signature line. Issue #75.
2014-01-06	Revert "nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL before evaluation"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 0c1198cf08576f16633b2344dc6513cefb567cfc.
2013-12-30	nix-shell --pure: Don't clear IN_NIX_SHELL	Shea Levy
	Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-20	Revert "Scan /proc/<pid>/cmdline for GC roots"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 194e3374b89b8b2dec6296923877304bdb5c6ae2. Checking the command line for GC roots means that $ nix-store --delete $path will fail because $path is now a root because it's mentioned on the command line.
2013-12-20	Scan /proc/<pid>/cmdline for GC roots	Eelco Dolstra

2013-12-20	nix-shell: Don't warn about the lack of a GC root	Eelco Dolstra

2013-12-20	nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL before evaluation	Eelco Dolstra
	This has some hacky applications.
2013-12-20	nix-shell: Handle --option correctly	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #181.
2013-12-17	nix-shell --pure: Keep $TERM	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-25	Add a Makefile for the scripts directory	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-24	Fix segfault on Darwin	Eelco Dolstra
	Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly segfaulted on Darwin: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515 http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038 It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. It's not exactly clear why the latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation, which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. This leads to a segfault when Perl exits: #0 0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize () #1 0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy () #2 0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY () #3 0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch () ... #14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct () #15 0x0000000100000d6a in main () ... The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.
2013-10-18	Don't set $PS1 in non-interactive shells	Eelco Dolstra
	Shouldn't really matter, but you never know.
2013-10-18	nix-shell: Play nicely with non-interactive shells	Shea Levy
	nix-shell with the --command flag might be used non-interactively, but if bash starts non-interactively (i.e. with stdin or stderr not a terminal), it won't source the script given in --rcfile. However, in that case it will source the script found in $BASH_ENV, so we can use that instead. Also, don't source ~/.bashrc in a non-interactive shell (detectable by checking the PS1 env var) Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-10-14	nix-shell: Fix bash completion	Eelco Dolstra
	Nixpkgs's stdenv setup script sets the "nullglob" option, but doing so breaks Bash completion on NixOS (when ‘programs.bash.enableCompletion’ is set) and on Ubuntu. So clear that flag afterwards. Of course, this may break stdenv functions in subtle ways...
2013-09-18	build-remote.pl: Don't use substituters on the remote	Eelco Dolstra
	It's kinda pointless to check substituters on the remote side, since we just checked them locally.
2013-09-06	nix-shell: Support a .drv as argument	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #161.
2013-07-31	nix-shell: Don't disable Automake dependency tracking	Eelco Dolstra
	Nixpkgs' stdenv disables dependency tracking by default. That makes sense for one-time builds, but in an interactive environment we expect repeated "make" invocations to do the right thing.
