| 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). | |||
| 2005-11-17 | * FreeBSD compatibility fix. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-10-29 | * Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-10-11 | add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed | Armijn Hemel | |
| for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance. | |||
| 2005-09-21 | * Remove other uses of IPC::Open2. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-09-21 | * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If | Eelco Dolstra | |
| the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file descriptor. So we just use the normal open() function instead. This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures). | |||
| 2005-09-16 | * Remove dead file. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-09-16 | * Set the current directory to something well-defined. Might help in | Eelco Dolstra | |
| setuid installations. | |||
| 2005-09-15 | * Use a proper temporary directory. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-07-13 | * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'. | |||
| 2005-06-18 | * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't | Eelco Dolstra | |
| handle it. It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive. Probably we will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't there). | |||
| 2005-05-10 | * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant | Eelco Dolstra | |
| unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths. | |||
| 2005-04-12 | * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| `--isvalid' flag in nix-store. | |||
| 2005-04-12 | * Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in the | Eelco Dolstra | |
| database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot be reconstructed fully). | |||
| 2005-04-08 | * nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-04-07 | * Get rid of fetchurl, we don't need it anymore. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-04-07 | * `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output | Eelco Dolstra | |
| derivations. This is mostly to simplify the implementation of nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid installations. * Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'. | |||
| 2005-04-04 | * I said it couldn't be done. I was wrong. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-25 | * Better error checking. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-18 | * Ignore hash conflicts in gc-releases.pl. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-15 | * Use SHA-256 for nix-push. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Idem. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Pass `--base32' unless using MD5. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Parse new hash format properly. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Print SHA-1 hashes in base-32 by default. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2005-03-14 | * Prefix hash algorithm in patch generator too. | Eelco Dolstra | |
