2015-01-08	Allow nix-shell to be used as a #! interpreter	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows scripts to fetch their own dependencies via nix-shell. For instance, here is a Haskell script that, when executed, pulls in GHC and the HTTP package: #! /usr/bin/env nix-shell #! nix-shell -i runghc -p haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.HTTP import Network.HTTP main = do resp <- Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://nixos.org/") body <- getResponseBody resp print (take 100 body) Or a Perl script that pulls in Perl and some CPAN packages: #! /usr/bin/env nix-shell #! nix-shell -i perl -p perl perlPackages.HTMLTokeParserSimple perlPackages.LWP use HTML::TokeParser::Simple; my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(url => 'http://nixos.org/'); while (my $token = $p->get_tag("a")) { my $href = $token->get_attr("href"); print "$href\n" if $href; } Note that the options to nix-shell must be given on a separate line that starts with the magic string ‘#! nix-shell’. This is because ‘env’ does not allow passing arguments to an interpreter directly.

2014-11-12	build-remote.pl.in: Add some more trace messages	Eelco Dolstra

	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/15885652
2014-10-15	Revert "binary download: Use $NIX_CURL_FLAGS"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit bc4795919afac59af8f27d3c1f26ab404330f718. It breaks the build: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/15860847
2014-10-14	binary download: Use $NIX_CURL_FLAGS	wmertens
	As in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/5c0816567d6b99bd2ef7c8ae5744f80a6a0372c4/pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/builder.sh#L17

2014-10-14	nix-copy-closure: Use strict	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-23	Pass through --set from nix-install-package command line to nix-env	Shell Turner

2014-09-05	build-remote.pl: UTF-8-decode errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-05	Fix build-remote.pl	Eelco Dolstra
	Apparently, turning on utf8 encoding on stderr changes its flushing behaviour, causing sendReply to not send anything. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/13944384

2014-07-29	nix-profile.sh: Set $SSL_CERT_FILE	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Drop --bzip2, --xz, --show-progress	Eelco Dolstra
	These are too difficult to implement via nix-store --serve. ‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a sink/source wrapper class.
2014-07-24	nix-copy-closure: Implement --gzip via ssh's -C flag	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Remove obsolete SSH master connection code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-24	Implement nix-copy-closure --from via nix-store --serve	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-14	Remove cruft	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-12	build-remote.pl: Fix build log	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-11	build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and outputs locked as long as they're needed). It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root account on the build machine, using a forced command (e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix daemon and is therefore more efficient. Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.
2014-07-10	nix-copy-closure -s: Do substitutions via ‘nix-store --serve’	Eelco Dolstra
	This means we no longer need an SSH master connection, since we only execute a single command on the remote host.
2014-07-10	nix-copy-closure: Restore compression and the progress viewer	Eelco Dolstra

2014-05-26	nix-build: --add-root also takes 1 parameter	Aristid Breitkreuz
