| 2004-02-16 | * Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2004-02-06 | * Use the profile pointed to by ~/.nix-profile if no --profile | Eelco Dolstra | |
| argument is specified. | |||
| 2004-01-15 | * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt | Eelco Dolstra | |
| Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged. Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()). Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix. | |||
| 2004-01-05 | * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default | Eelco Dolstra | |
| path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression. | |||
| 2003-12-22 | * Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say | Eelco Dolstra | |
| nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so nix-env -u foo.nix '*' will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if available. The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator: TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0); TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1); TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1); TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1); (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater) * A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful output, e.g., $ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3' | |||
| 2003-12-01 | * Fix `make check'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-12-01 | * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e., | Eelco Dolstra | |
| "i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux"). | |||
| 2003-11-25 | * More `make dist' fixes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-25 | * Allow integer bindings in derivations. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-22 | * Fix the garbage collector. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-19 | * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function. | |||
| 2003-11-18 | * "Nix expression" -> "store expression". | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * More refactoring. | |||
| 2003-11-18 | * Source tree refactoring. | Eelco Dolstra | |
