2007-01-13 | * Cleanup. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-12-13 | * Remove debug message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-12-12 | * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files | Eelco Dolstra | |
from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way. | |||
2006-12-12 | * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the | Eelco Dolstra | |
names of the attributes in an attribute set. | |||
2006-12-02 | * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-12-01 | * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-12-01 | * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath). | |||
2006-11-30 | * Put building in the store API. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-11-30 | * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI | Eelco Dolstra | |
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations. | |||
2006-11-03 | * Fix importing of derivation outputs. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-23 | * Some better error messages. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-19 | * Better message. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-19 | * toFile: maintain the references. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * Print out the offending path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * An awful backwards compatibility hack. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * toPath: should be the identity on paths. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-17 | * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass | Eelco Dolstra | |
non-store paths to a builder. | |||
2006-10-17 | * Do the path check on the normal form. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-16 | * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string | Eelco Dolstra | |
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.) | |||
2006-10-11 | * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another | Eelco Dolstra | |
kind of notation for strings. | |||
2006-10-10 | * Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix | Eelco Dolstra | |
expression resides in the store. | |||
2006-10-10 | * `import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make `import (x + y)' | Eelco Dolstra | |
work, where x is a store path. | |||
2006-10-03 | * toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the | Eelco Dolstra | |
argument. | |||
2006-10-03 | * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path | Eelco Dolstra | |
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'. * toFile: handle references to other files correctly. | |||
2006-10-02 | * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-10-02 | * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-24 | * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand | Eelco Dolstra | |
side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping. | |||
2006-09-24 | * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence. | |||
2006-09-24 | * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-24 | * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-22 | * Builtin function `add' to add integers. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix. | |||
2006-09-22 | * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list. | Eelco Dolstra | |
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix). | |||
2006-09-22 | * Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail of | Eelco Dolstra | |
list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix). | |||
2006-09-22 | * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for | Eelco Dolstra | |
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61) | |||
2006-09-21 | * Fix comment. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-20 | * Shut up a warning. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-20 | * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-11 | * Support `++'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* More follow restrictions on layout. | |||
2006-09-05 | * Sone missing #includes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Move setuid stuff to libutil. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Install libexpr header files. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++ | Eelco Dolstra | |
marshalling code. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Use a proper namespace. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-01 | * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store | Eelco Dolstra | |
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... } |
