	Also fixes #261.
2014-04-15	nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics	Ricardo 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!
2014-04-04	Show position info in string concatenation / addition errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-30	nix-env: Add support for --delete-generations 15d	Ricardo M. Correia
	It will delete all generations older than the specified number of days.
2014-03-11	Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nix	Eelco 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.
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-02-18	Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.

2013-11-23	Improve building dynamic libraries	Eelco Dolstra
	They now get a correct RPATH.

2013-11-19	nix-env -q: Add a --json flag	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-24	Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"	Eelco Dolstra
	We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-09-06	Remove stray debug line	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’	Eelco Dolstra
	This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces the profile with the specified set of packages. The main motivation is to support declarative package management (similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this: with import <nixpkgs> {}; [ thunderbird geeqie ... ] then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run: $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’ flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed from the actual profile.) Suggested by @zefhemel.
2013-09-03	nix-env: Use wildcard match by default	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, you don't need to pass '' anymore, so nix-env -qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa ''
2013-09-03	nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand	Eelco Dolstra
	So if you do "nix-env -qa -A nixos", then other channels won't be parsed/evaluated at all.
2013-09-03	Check for name collisions in the input Nix expressions	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	Work on Values instead of Exprs	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and nix-instantiate. Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the extension .nix. Previously it was reading files like .../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just the right order).
2013-09-03	Get rid of the parse tree cache	Eelco Dolstra
	Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching parse trees is redundant. Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.
2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik

2012-12-12	Allow setting the profile location using $NIX_PROFILE	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #69.
2012-12-04	nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
2012-12-03	Fix the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-03	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
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).
2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-13	nix-env --delete-generations: Support --dry-run flag	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #43.
2012-08-01	nix-env: Ignore manifest.nix when recursing into ~/.nix-defexpr	Eelco Dolstra
	Channels are implemented using a profile now, and profiles contain a manifest.nix file. This should be ignored to prevent bogus packages from showing up in nix-env.
2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra
