2005-04-08* nix-store: `--substitute' -> `--register-substitutes'.Eelco Dolstra
2005-02-09* Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism.Eelco Dolstra
* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push. * Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path). * Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.
2005-01-25* Re-enable all tests.Eelco Dolstra
2005-01-25* Fix the `--fallback' switch.Eelco Dolstra
* Fix the substitutes tests.
2004-12-20* I love test sets.Eelco Dolstra
2004-06-24* A test for multiple and/or failing substitutes.Eelco Dolstra
2004-06-20* Re-enable support for substitutes in the normaliser.Eelco Dolstra
* A better substitute mechanism. Instead of generating a store expression for each store path for which we have a substitute, we can have a single store expression that builds a generic program that is invoked to build the desired store path, which is passed as an argument. This means that operations like `nix-pull' only produce O(1) files instead of O(N) files in the store when registering N substitutes. (It consumes O(N) database storage, of course, but that's not a performance problem). * Added a test for the substitute mechanism. * `nix-store --substitute' reads the substitutes from standard input, instead of from the command line. This prevents us from running into the kernel's limit on command line length.
