2015-01-02	Allow $NIX_PAGER to override $PAGER	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-14	Pedantry	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-14	Merge branch 'cygwin-master' of https://github.com/ternaris/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-12	Don't abort if we get a signal while waiting for the pager	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-10	Provide default pagers	Eelco Dolstra
	Borrowed from systemd.
2014-12-10	Revert "Use posix_spawn to run the pager"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit d34d2b2bbf784c0bb420a50905af25e02c6e4989.
2014-12-09	Explicitly include required C headers	Marko Durkovic

2014-12-05	Define ‘environ’	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17690555
2014-12-05	Use posix_spawn to run the pager	Eelco Dolstra
	In low memory environments, "nix-env -qa" failed because the fork to run the pager hit the kernel's overcommit limits. Using posix_spawn gets around this. (Actually, you have to use posix_spawn with the undocumented POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag, otherwise it just uses fork/exec...)
2014-10-14	Remove redundant space in usage errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-26	printMissing(): Print derivations in approximate build order	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Flush std::cout before closing stdout	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Provide reasonable default flags for $LESS	Eelco Dolstra
	Borrowed from systemd.
2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Add some color	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	nix-store -l: Automatically pipe output into $PAGER	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	Handle compound single dash options properly	Eelco Dolstra
	So now nix-instantiate --eval -E '{x}: x' --argstr x -xyzzy correctly prints "-xyzzy", rather than giving an error. Issue NixOS/hydra#176.
2014-08-13	Refactor option handling	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	Remove pointless NIX_LOG_TYPE environment variable	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-05-23	Ugly hack to allow --argstr values starting with a dash	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #265.
2014-03-29	restoreSIGPIPE(): Fill in sa_mask	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #231.
2014-02-08	Add download-via-ssh substituter	Shea Levy
	This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts option can be specified as a list of hosts to try. This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some limitations: * Only the first host is used * There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the remote machine) * There is no informative output (such as progress bars) * Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages * There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2014-01-21	Merge branch 'master' into make	Eelco Dolstra
	Conflicts: src/libexpr/eval.cc
2013-12-20	nix-shell: Don't warn about the lack of a GC root	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-23	Drop the dependency on libgc in libmain	Eelco Dolstra
	Instead, libexpr now depends on libgc. This means commands like nix-store that don't do any evaluation no longer require libgc.
2013-11-12	Make function calls show up in stack traces again	Eelco Dolstra
	Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.
2013-10-02	Report OOM errors better	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-30	Detect stack overflows	Eelco Dolstra
	Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it prints: error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion) This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Fixes #35.
2013-03-08	Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra

2013-02-19	build-remote: Use the --quiet flag	Eelco Dolstra
	‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.
2012-12-11	On SQLITE_BUSY, wait a random amount of time	Eelco Dolstra
	If all contending processes wait a fixed amount of time (100 ms), there is a good probability that they'll just collide again.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-20	nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag	Eelco Dolstra
	This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be quietly ignored. This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all substitutable paths, instead of uploading them. The latter is frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.
2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra
	Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
2012-07-31	Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag)	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-30	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-03-13	Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory	Eelco Dolstra
	By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit. This prevents them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.
2012-03-05	nix-worker: put the pid of the caller in argv[1]	Eelco Dolstra
	This is useful for debugging.
2011-12-14	* Remove the terminate handler, which was only really needed because	Eelco Dolstra
	of Berkeley DB (see r8632).
2011-11-29	* Get rid of some superfluous error messages if a substituter fails.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Say "fetch" instead of "substitute".
2011-11-22	* Move initialisation of variables like nixConfDir from libmain to	Eelco Dolstra
	libstore so that the Perl bindings can use it as well. It's vital that the Perl bindings use the configuration file, because otherwise nix-copy-closure will fail with a ‘database locked’ message if the value of ‘use-sqlite-wal’ is changed from the default.
2011-09-06	* Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether	Eelco Dolstra
	the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-08-31	* Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.	Eelco Dolstra
	This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-06-30	Add support for the `build-timeout' and `--timeout' options.	Ludovic Courtès
