2003-06-16* Started implementing the new evaluation model.Eelco Dolstra

2003-06-16* AST for Nix expressions.Eelco Dolstra
2003-06-15* Refactoring: hash class.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-30* Send log output to stderr.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-30* Log the output of builders to $prefix/var/log/nix.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-26* FreeBSD / ISO C++ compatibility fixes.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-26* Removed some debug code that prevented packages from building.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-26* Some refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2003-05-26* Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iffEelco Dolstra
a mapping from the hash to a url has been registered through `nix regurl'. * Bug fix in nix: don't pollute stdout when running tar, it made nix-switch barf. * Bug fix in nix-push-prebuilts: don't create a subdirectory on the target when rsync'ing.
2003-05-25* Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment byEelco Dolstra
sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix descriptor). `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by consulting the paths and URLs specified in $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash, $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking $location. `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these to the network through rsync. `nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands.
2003-04-25* Remove build directory from a package directory after building it.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-24* getpkg, delpkg, and so on now accept multiple arguments.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-23* Redirect stdout to stderr when executing the build script.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-08* FreeBSD / gcc 2.95 compatibility fixes.Eelco Dolstra
* A script to generate prebuilt registration scripts.
2003-04-08* `Fix' is a high-level descriptor instantiator for Nix. It replacesEelco Dolstra
nix-instantiate.
2003-04-04* Autoconf / Automake configuration and building.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-04* Minor refactoring: use iterators to process arguments.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-02* Importing and exporting of pre-built packages.Eelco Dolstra
2003-04-01* Use ATerms for Nix descriptors.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-28* Don't fork in `nix run'.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-28* Allow arguments to be passed to programs in `nix run'.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-24* For efficiency: md5 integrated into nix.Eelco Dolstra
* Command `nix ensure' which is like `nix getpkg' except that if the has refers to a run action it will just ensure that the imports are there. * Command `nix closure' to print out the closure of the set of descriptors under the import relation, starting at a set of roots. This can be used for garbage collection (e.g., given a list of `activated' packages, we can delete all packages not reachable from those). * Command `nix graph' to print out a Dot graph of the dependency graph. * `nix-addroot' adds a root for the (unimplemented) garbage collector.
2003-03-24* Descriptors now have a "system" field specifying the platform thatEelco Dolstra
the build or run action should be perfomed on. This ensures that descriptors have different hashes on different platforms.
2003-03-24* Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-23* A command to run programs in Nix packages, that is, to execute a runEelco Dolstra
action. Run actions are described by uniquely hashed descriptors, just like build actions. Therefore run actions can have dependencies, but these need not be the same as the build time dependencies (e.g., at runtime we can link against a different version of a dynamic library). Example: nix run 31d6bf4c171282367065e0deecd7c579 will run the Pan 0.13.91 newsreader with gtkspell support.
2003-03-21* Added a command to list installed packages.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-21* Added a command to verify the consistency of the database.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-20* Various updates.Eelco Dolstra
2003-03-14* Improved Nix. Resources (package descriptors and other sourceEelco Dolstra
files) are now referenced using their cryptographic hashes. This ensures that if two package descriptors have the same contents, then they describe the same package. This property is not as trivial as it sounds: generally import relations cause this property not to hold w.r.t. temporality. But since imports also use hashes to reference other packages, equality follows by induction.
2003-03-13* Converted to C++.Eelco Dolstra
