| 2003-12-22 | * GCC 2.95 compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 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' | |||
| 2003-12-21 | * Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g., | Eelco Dolstra | |
| nix-env -i foo.nix subversion The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the first dash not followed by a letter. | |||
| 2003-12-21 | * `-u' -> `-e'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current). | |||
| 2003-12-02 | * Add missing files to `make dist'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-12-02 | * Regression fix: query flags (e.g., "-qsf") were broken. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-12-01 | * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more: | Eelco Dolstra | |
| $ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-) | |||
| 2003-11-24 | * Allow the top-level expression to be a derivation. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Hack: `nix-env -i *' installs all available derivations. | |||
| 2003-11-22 | * Don't use a hard-coded path. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-22 | * Fix the garbage collector. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-21 | * Uninstallation. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-20 | * Uninstall command (doesn't work yet). | Eelco Dolstra | |
| 2003-11-19 | * Installation: add the previously installed packages. Switch to the new | Eelco Dolstra | |
| configuration. * Status queries. | |||
| 2003-11-19 | * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments. | Eelco Dolstra | |
| * Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function. | |||
