2020-06-09	Fix applyOverride() for github	Eelco Dolstra

2020-06-01	fetchOrSubstituteTree improvements	Matthew Kenigsberg
	Caches tree in addition to lockedRef, and explicitly writes out the logic for different combinations of cached/uncached flakes and indirect/resolved/locked flakes. This eliminates uneccessary calls to lookupInFlakeCache, fetchTree, maybeLookupFlake, and flakeCache.push_back
2020-05-30	Move substitution into Input::fetch()	Eelco Dolstra
	Closes #3520.
2020-05-30	Remove TreeInfo	Eelco Dolstra
	The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount, lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary what attributes are stored where. As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like "info": { "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github" }, is now stored as "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github", "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the API. Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.
2020-05-06	Remove support for old lockfiles and the epoch/uri attributes	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-27	Improve path:// handling	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, doing 'nix build /path/to/dir' now works if /path/to/dir is not a Git tree (it only has to contain a flake.nix file). Also, 'nix flake init' no longer requires a Git tree (but it will do a 'git add flake.nix' if it's a Git tree)
2020-04-20	Fix typo	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-16	Use RootValue	Eelco Dolstra

2020-04-10	Remove flake 'edition' field	Eelco Dolstra
	Future editions of flakes or the Nix language can be supported by renaming flake.nix (e.g. flake-v2.nix). This avoids a bootstrap problem where we don't know which grammar to use to parse flake*.nix. It also allows a project to support multiple flake editions, in theory.
2020-04-06	nix flake info: Show resolved URL	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for finding out what a registry lookup resolves to, e.g $ nix flake info patchelf Resolved URL: github:NixOS/patchelf Locked URL: github:NixOS/patchelf/cd7955af31698c571c30b7a0f78e59fd624d0229
2020-04-03	Make --override-input sticky	Eelco Dolstra
	When we do something like 'nix flake update --override-input nixpkgs ...', the override is now kept on subsequent calls. (If you don't want this behaviour, you can use --no-write-lock-file.)
2020-04-03	getFlake: In pure mode, check that the argument is an immutable flakeref	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-30	Move fetchers from libstore to libfetchers	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-28	Warn about --override-input / --update-input flags that don't match an input	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-27	Improve lock file generation	Eelco Dolstra
	This is now done in a single pass. Also fixes some issues when updating flakes with circular dependencies. Finally, when using '--recreate-lock-file --commit-lock-file', the commit message now correctly shows the differences.
2020-03-17	Unified fetcher caching system	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-12	Change the lock file to a graph	Eelco Dolstra
	This enables support for cycles between flakes.
2020-03-11	Move call-flake.nix into libexpr	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-10	Fix flake subdirectory handling	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-09	Move calling flakes into a Nix helper function (call-flake.nix)	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-09	Add 'flake' attribute to lock files to denote non-flakes	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-14	Fix build	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-05	Warn when we commit a new revision	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-05	Improve commit subject line	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-05	Add option --commit-lock-file	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-03	Emit narHash attribute	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-02	Automatically do git/hg add on flake.lock	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-02	Re-read flake after updating flake.lock	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise we'll evaluate the flake with the wrong metadata (rev, ...).
2020-02-02	Detect circular flake imports	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #2997.
2020-02-02	Substitute flake inputs	Eelco Dolstra
	This improves reproducibility and may be faster than fetching from the original source (especially for git/hg inputs, but probably also for github inputs - our binary cache is probably faster than GitHub's dynamically generated tarballs). Unfortunately this doesn't work for the top-level flake since even if we know the NAR hash of the tree, we don't know the other tree attributes such as revCount and lastModified. Fixes #3253.
2020-02-02	Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-02	Renamed ref / resolvedRef -> lockedRef	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-01	Remove superfluous TreeInfo::rev field	Eelco Dolstra

2020-02-01	Record TreeInfo in the lock file	Eelco Dolstra
	Necessary for #3253.
2020-02-01	Factor out TreeInfo	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-31	Allow flake input specification via attributes rather than a URL	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. inputs.dwarffs = { type = "github"; owner = "edolstra"; repo = "dwarffs"; }; rather than inputs.dwarffs.url = github:edolstra/dwarffs;
2020-01-31	Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-30	Check LockedInput::computeStorePath()	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-29	Add --update-input flag to update a specific flake input	Eelco Dolstra
	Typical usage: $ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard --update-input nixpkgs to update the 'nixpkgs' input of a flake while leaving every other input unchanged. The argument is an input path, so you can do e.g. '--update-input dwarffs/nixpkgs' to update an input of an input. Fixes #2928.
2020-01-29	Fix flake update check	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-29	Revive the flake cache	Eelco Dolstra
	Not that it matters a lot anymore - we respect lock files of inputs now, so we're doing a lot fewer flake lookups.
2020-01-29	Clean up the lock file handling flags	Eelco Dolstra
	Added a flag --no-update-lock-file to barf if the lock file needs any changes. This is useful for CI systems if you're building a checkout. Fixes #2947. Renamed --no-save-lock-file to --no-write-lock-file. It is now a fatal error if the lock file needs changes but --no-write-lock-file is not given.
2020-01-29	Add flag --override-input to override specific lock file entries	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard \ --override-input 'dwarffs/nixpkgs' ../my-nixpkgs overrides the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input of the top-level flake. Fixes #2837.
2020-01-27	Add Mercurial tests	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-24	Respect lock files of inputs + fine-grained lock file control	Eelco Dolstra
	When computing a lock file, we now respect the lock files of flake inputs. This is important for usability / reproducibility. For example, the 'nixops' flake depends on the 'nixops-aws' and 'nixops-hetzner' repositories. So when the 'nixops' flake is used in another flake, we want the versions of 'nixops-aws' and 'nixops-hetzner' locked by the the 'nixops' flake because those presumably have been tested. This can lead to a proliferation of versions of flakes like 'nixpkgs' (since every flake's lock file could depend on a different version of 'nixpkgs'). This is not a major issue when using Nixpkgs overlays or NixOS modules, since then the top-level flake composes those overlays/modules into its version of Nixpkgs and all other versions are ignored. Lock file computation has been made a bit more lazy so it won't try to fetch all those versions of 'nixpkgs'. However, in case it's necessary to minimize flake versions, there now are two input attributes that allow this. First, you can copy an input from another flake, as follows: inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "dwarffs/nixpkgs"; This states that the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input shall be the same as the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input. Second, you can override inputs of inputs: inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>; inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>; or equivalently, using 'follows': inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>; inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; This states that the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'nixops' input shall be the same as the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input. Finally, at '-v' Nix now prints the changes to the lock file, e.g. $ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard inputs of flake 'git+file:///home/eelco/Misc/eelco-configurations?subdir=hagbard' changed: updated 'nixpkgs': 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/7845bf5f4b3013df1cf036e9c9c3a55a30331db9' -> 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/03f3def66a104a221aac8b751eeb7075374848fd' removed 'nixops' removed 'nixops/nixops-aws' removed 'nixops/nixops-hetzner' removed 'nixops/nixpkgs'
2020-01-24	HandleLockFile -> LockFileMode	Eelco Dolstra

2020-01-22	resolveFlake -> lockFlake	Eelco Dolstra
	"resolve" is ambiguous (also used for registry resolution).
2020-01-21	Pluggable fetchers	Eelco Dolstra
	Flakes are now fetched using an extensible mechanism. Also lots of other flake cleanups.
2019-12-11	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into flakes	Eelco Dolstra

2019-11-06	Use revcount/last-modified for computing the flake fingerprint	Eelco Dolstra
	The store path is not enough. For example, when we build a dirty tree, commit, and build the clean tree, a re-evaluation is necessary because the flake may depend on the lastModified or revCount attributes.
