2015-05-06nix-env/nix-instantiate/nix-build: Support URIsEelco Dolstra
For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision like this: $ nix-env -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz -iA firefox Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel: $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello
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
2015-03-19Fix Boehm API violationEelco Dolstra
We were calling GC_INIT() after doing an allocation (in the baseEnv construction), which is not allowed.
2014-12-12Remove canary stuffEelco Dolstra
2014-09-22Rename strictForceValue -> forceValueDeepEelco Dolstra
2014-09-19Store Attrs inside BindingsEelco Dolstra
This prevents a double allocation per attribute set.
2014-09-17Add some instrumentation for debugging GC leaksEelco Dolstra
2014-08-20Use proper quotes everywhereEelco Dolstra
2014-08-13Refactor option handlingEelco Dolstra
2014-06-27Style fixEelco Dolstra
2014-06-27Add `--json` argument to `nix-instantiate`Paul Colomiets
2014-05-26Ensure that -I flags get included in nixPathEelco Dolstra
Also fixes #261.
2014-05-13nix-instantiate --eval: Apply auto-arguments if the result is a functionEelco Dolstra
Fixes #254.
2014-02-19nix-instantiate: Allow --dry-run as a synonym for --readonly-modeEelco Dolstra
--dry-run is more consistent with nix-env and nix-store.
2014-02-19nix-instantiate: Rename --eval-only to --eval, --parse-only to --parseEelco Dolstra
2014-02-19nix-instantiate: Add a flag --expr / -E to read expressions from the command ↵Eelco Dolstra
line This is basically a shortcut for ‘echo 'expr...' | nix-instantiate -’. Also supported by nix-build and nix-shell.

2014-02-07Rename --no-readonly-mode --read-write-modeShea Levy
Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2014-02-07nix-instantiate: Add a --no-readonly-mode flagShea Levy
This allows running nix-instantiate --eval-only without performing the evaluation in readonly mode, letting features like import from derivation and automatic substitution of builtins.storePath paths work. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2013-11-22Rename $(here) to $(d) for brevity, and remove trailing slashEelco Dolstra
2013-11-22New non-recursive, plain Make-based build systemEelco Dolstra
2013-11-19Generalise meta attributesEelco Dolstra
2013-09-03Work on Values instead of ExprsEelco 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).
2013-09-03ReformatEelco Dolstra
2013-09-03Get rid of the parse tree cacheEelco 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.
2012-11-26nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluationEelco Dolstra
2012-11-26Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thingEelco Dolstra
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-10-04getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failureEelco Dolstra
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-03When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual pageEelco 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).
2012-10-03Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra
This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-08-28Make "nix-instantiate -" interruptibleEelco Dolstra
2012-08-27Merge branch 'master' into no-manifestsEelco Dolstra
2012-08-24Include the output name in the GC root linkEelco 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.
2012-07-30Refactor settings processingEelco Dolstra
Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-04-17nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are givenEelco Dolstra
2012-04-17Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵Eelco Dolstra
Nix's search path
2012-02-04* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection throughEelco Dolstra
EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2011-12-01* Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-buildEelco Dolstra
and nix-env, e.g., $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -i patchelf or $ nix-build '<nixos/tests>' -A login.test
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.
2011-08-06* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angleEelco Dolstra
brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-08-06* Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() intoEelco Dolstra
the EvalState class.
2010-11-16* Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra
2010-10-28* Handle out of memory condition.Eelco Dolstra
2010-10-22* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco Dolstra
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22* Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option.Eelco Dolstra
