2003-06-18	* Set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH as well as C_INCLUDE_PATH. Otherwise g++	Eelco Dolstra
	won't see header files under Nix control.
2003-05-30	* Set umask to 0022 on startup.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-05-30	* Don't set MANPATH. It's not necessary.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-05-30	* Set MANPATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-05-27	* Fix the rsync destination.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-05-26	* Removed some debug code that prevented packages from building.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-05-26	* Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iff	Eelco Dolstra
	a mapping from the hash to a url has been registered through `nix regurl'. * Bug fix in nix: don't pollute stdout when running tar, it made nix-switch barf. * Bug fix in nix-push-prebuilts: don't create a subdirectory on the target when rsync'ing.
2003-05-25	* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by	Eelco Dolstra
	sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix descriptor). `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by consulting the paths and URLs specified in $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash, $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking $location. `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these to the network through rsync. `nix-[pull\|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the mechanism through the `nix [export\|regprebuilt\|regurl]' commands.
2003-04-25	* Bug fix: deleting the old links didn't work properly.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-04-24	* nix-switch now removes the link to the previously activated system	Eelco Dolstra
	package as a root of the garbage collector, unless `--keep' is specified.
2003-04-09	* A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage	Eelco Dolstra
	doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their descriptor hashes. So we can do nix info $(nix-collect-garbage) to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage) to actually delete them.
2003-04-09	* When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash.	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by doing nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash) which will print out the activated configurations and all packages referenced by them. We could then garbage collect unused packages by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set returned by `nix closure ...'.
2003-04-09	* We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a	Eelco Dolstra
	build action for `system' packages (like system.fix) that have dependencies on all packages we want to activate. So the command sequence to switch to a new activation configuration of the system would be: $ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix ... system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f $ nix-switch 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f * A nix-profile.sh script that can be included in .bashrc.
2003-04-08	* Descriptor importing in Fix.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-04-08	* FreeBSD / gcc 2.95 compatibility fixes.	Eelco Dolstra
	* A script to generate prebuilt registration scripts.
