2017-06-07Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help"Eelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Add --help-config flagEelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Make all options available as flagsEelco Dolstra
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name> <value>’. So --option http-connections 100 becomes --http-connections 100 Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are fatal. Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g. --option auto-optimise-store false becomes --no-auto-optimise-store

2017-05-10Replace readline by linenoiseEelco Dolstra
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.
2017-05-08Add "nix edit" commandEelco Dolstra
This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of the specified package. For example, nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the right line number for some editors). This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
2017-05-04nix dump-path: AddEelco Dolstra
This is primarily useful for extracting NARs from other stores (like binary caches), which "nix-store --dump" cannot do.
2017-05-03nix eval: Add a --raw flagEelco Dolstra
Similar to "jq -r", this prints the evaluation result (which must be a string value) unquoted.
2017-05-02Fix "nix ... --all"Eelco Dolstra
When "--all" is used, we should not fill in a default installable.

2017-04-25StorePathCommands: Build installablesEelco Dolstra
So for instance "nix copy --to ... nixpkgs.hello" will build nixpkgs.hello first. It's debatable whether this is a good idea. It seems desirable for commands like "nix copy" but maybe not for commands like "nix path-info".
2017-04-25Set default installableEelco Dolstra
Thus $ nix build -f foo.nix will build foo.nix. And $ nix build will build default.nix. However, this may not be a good idea because it's kind of inconsistent, given that "nix build foo" will build the "foo" attribute from the default installation source (i.e. the synthesis of $NIX_PATH), rather than ./default.nix. So I may revert this.
2017-04-25Interpret any installable containing a slash as a pathEelco Dolstra
So "nix path-info ./result" now works.
2017-04-25Make StorePathsCommand a subclass of InstallablesCommandEelco Dolstra
This allows commands like 'nix path-info', 'nix copy', 'nix verify' etc. to work on arbitrary installables. E.g. to copy geeqie to a binary cache: $ nix copy -r --to file:///tmp/binary-cache nixpkgs.geeqie Or to get the closure size of thunderbird: $ nix path-info -S nixpkgs.thunderbird
2017-04-25Move code aroundEelco Dolstra
2017-04-25Add "nix eval" commandEelco Dolstra
This replaces "nix-instantiate --eval". The result is evaluated strictly since this seems more useful.
2017-04-25Restructure installables handling in the "nix" commandEelco Dolstra
2017-04-24Factor out --jsonEelco Dolstra
2017-04-20Improve nix show-config --jsonEelco Dolstra
In particular, show descriptions. This could be used for manpage generation etc.
2017-04-13Add "nix show-config" commandEelco Dolstra
This dumps the entire Nix configuration, including all options that have default values.
2017-04-13Convert Settings to the new config systemEelco Dolstra
This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-08Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.Will Dietz
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option" or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.
2017-03-16nix copy: Make -r option use the "from" storeEelco Dolstra
Previously, we tried to compute the closure in the local store, which obviously doesn't work.
2017-03-16copyPaths(): Use queryValidPaths() to reduce SSH latencyEelco Dolstra
2017-03-15Add a "nix log" commandEelco Dolstra
This replaces "nix-store --read-log". It checks the local store and any configured substituters for the requested logs.
2017-01-26exportReferencesGraph: Export more complete info in JSON formatEelco Dolstra
This writes info about every path in the closure in the same format as ‘nix path-info --json’. Thus it also includes NAR hashes and sizes. Example: [ { "path": "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "narHash": "sha256:0ckdc4z20kkmpqdilx0wl6cricxv90lh85xpv2qljppcmz6vzcxl", "narSize": 197648, "references": [ "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24" ], "closureSize": 20939776 }, { "path": "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24", "narHash": "sha256:1nfn3m3p98y1c0kd0brp80dn9n5mycwgrk183j17rajya0h7gax3", "narSize": 20742128, "references": [ "/nix/store/27binbdy296qvjycdgr1535v8872vz3z-glibc-2.24" ], "closureSize": 20742128 } ] Fixes #1134.

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.

This allows such paths to be imported without signatures.
