2017-10-24nix: Respect -I, --arg, --argstrEelco Dolstra
Also, random cleanup to argument handling.
2017-07-30Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCIIJörg Thalheim
Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l | xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-20Add "nix search" commandEelco Dolstra
2017-07-03Replace a few bool flags with enumsEelco Dolstra
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a severe risk of mixing up arguments. Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().

2016-11-26Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"Eelco Dolstra
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...

2016-08-29nix path-info: Add --json flagEelco Dolstra
Also, factor out JSON generation from value-to-json.{cc,hh}, and support producing indented JSON.
2016-08-23nix build: Use Nix search pathEelco Dolstra
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say $ nix build nixpkgs.hello assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This is more verbose than $ nix build hello but is less ambiguous.
2016-06-02Allow setting the state directory as a store parameterEelco Dolstra
E.g. "local?store=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var".
2016-06-01Make the store directory a member variable of StoreEelco Dolstra
2016-05-04Cleanup: Remove singleton()Eelco Dolstra
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-02-23nix-env: respect meta.outputsToInstallVladimír Čunát
Discussed on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12653#discussion_r51601849
2016-02-12Merge pull request #762 from ctheune/ctheune-floatsEelco Dolstra
Implement floats
2016-02-04Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2016-01-05First hit at providing support for floats in the language.Christian Theune
2015-11-21Print license information on '--xml --meta'Pascal Wittmann
The nixpkgs manual prescribes the use of values from stdenv.lib.licenses for the meta.license attribute. Those values are attribute sets and currently skipped when running nix-env with '--xml --meta'. This has the consequence that also nixpkgs-lint will report missing licenses. With this commit nix-env with '--xml --meta' will print all attributes of an attribute set that are of type tString. For example the output for the package nixpkgs.hello is <meta name="license" type="strings"> <string type="url" value="http://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+" /> <string type="shortName" value="gpl3Plus" /> <string type="fullName" value="GNU General Public License v3.0 or later" /> <string type="spdxId" value="GPL-3.0+" /> </meta> This commit fixes nixpkgs-lint, too.

2015-09-17nix-env --upgrade: show "downgrading" when doing soVladimír Čunát
It was strange to show "upgrading" when the version was getting lower. This is left on "upgrading" when the versions are the same, as I can't see any better wording.
2015-09-17nix-env --upgrade: avoid unexpected downgradesVladimír Čunát
Until now, if one explicitly installed a low-priority version, nix-env --upgrade would downgrade it by default and even with --leq. Let's never accept an upgrade with version not matching the upgradeType. Additionally, let's never decrease the priority of an installed package; you can use --install to force that. Also refactor to use variable bestVersion instead of bestName, as only version was used from it.
2015-07-23Optimize small listsEelco Dolstra
The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.
2015-07-23--version: Print some config infoEelco Dolstra
Such as whether Nix is built with signed binary cache support, and the location of the configuration file.

2015-05-19Implement alternative to lazy generations:Christian Theune
* only the last generation can be lazy * depend on the '--lazy-generation' flag to be set
2015-05-18Enable lazy/sparse allocation of generation symlinks: avoid creatingChristian Theune
new generations if a generation already exists. Alternatively or additionally I propose a mode where only the *last* generation will be sparse.
2015-05-05Allow URLs in the Nix search pathEelco Dolstra
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz Or to install a specific version of NixOS: $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz

2014-04-15nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semanticsRicardo M. Correia
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the generation that was active N days ago. For example, say that you have these 3 generations: 1: <30 days ago> 2: <15 days ago> 3: <1 hour ago> If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact). This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects 'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'. Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

It will delete all generations older than the specified number of days.
2014-03-11Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nixEelco Dolstra
Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working correctly. Broken since 0f24400d90daf65cf20142a662f8245008437e2c.
