* Pipe /dev/null into stdin.
2003-08-19 13:07:38 +00:00
2de8504791
* Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an
...
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
2003-08-19 09:04:47 +00:00
31e4aa6439
* Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,
...
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")])
The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the
inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing
spaces).

* Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...)
...
when PATH is not set. We don't want this, so fill it in with
some dummy value.

c32e01eab2
* Revision 300!
...
* Put `@' in front of echo's in the Makefile.
2003-08-18 08:52:49 +00:00

* No longer automatically download Berkeley DB / ATerm.
2003-08-18 08:35:16 +00:00

* Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
...
builder using the `args' binding:
("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])
Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
in the argument list.
2003-08-15 13:01:45 +00:00
555347744d
* Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the
...
builder. Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
hashes to change.
2003-08-15 12:32:37 +00:00
e374dbf89b
* A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix
...
store, and print its hash.
2003-08-15 10:13:41 +00:00
01e30360d4
* Don't use a temporary file.
2003-08-15 09:39:33 +00:00
163db7367f
* Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -').
2003-08-15 09:21:19 +00:00

* Use a catalog when calling xsltproc.
2003-08-14 18:24:40 +00:00

2003-08-14 09:29:07 +00:00

* Manual updates.
2003-08-13 15:17:57 +00:00
68022552d2
* Put the pre-built manual and man pages in the tar distribution.
2003-08-13 15:17:36 +00:00

* Documented the `--query' operation.

* Split the book.xml into several xml files.
2003-08-13 09:13:52 +00:00

* Generate man pages from the manual.
2003-08-12 13:54:42 +00:00
c602930e08
* deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it
...
when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it.
So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.
2003-08-08 14:55:56 +00:00
4b7b0bd12c
* Started on the introduction.
2003-08-07 15:27:14 +00:00
74867e72f2
* Start of manual; installation instructions.
2003-08-07 14:17:18 +00:00
f8035d06f2
* Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name
...
NAME'. E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name
svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server
uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).
2003-08-06 14:48:29 +00:00

* `==' is not a valid operator.
2003-08-06 10:00:30 +00:00
d551062ec4
* Scan for wget and use the full path in fetchurl.sh.
...
* Use nix-hash (not md5sum) in fetchurl.sh.
2003-08-06 09:35:05 +00:00
236eb59293
* Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the
...
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock
again without blocking or failing). (This might be dangerous, not
sure). Necessary for fast builds to work.
2003-08-06 09:34:04 +00:00
720f06e3b0
* A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of
...
a regular file. I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the
coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).
2003-08-06 09:06:32 +00:00
37483672d4
* App -> Call.
...
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1",
False maps to "").
2003-08-06 09:05:04 +00:00
d34b4d4f28
* Conditionals.
2003-08-05 13:05:30 +00:00

* Made nix-push much faster.
2003-08-05 12:30:06 +00:00

* Cache result of fstatePaths(). TODO: do this in fstore.cc.
2003-08-05 12:29:47 +00:00
fd30f52cfc
* Made nix-pull much faster by performing all Fix instantiations at
...
the same time.
2003-08-05 11:14:24 +00:00
17f05dba77
* Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions that
...
normalise to Nix expression.
2003-08-05 11:13:38 +00:00
d6b6b2d3a8
* Delete obstructed paths prior to building.
2003-08-05 09:47:20 +00:00
d2e963f7a3
* Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath().
2003-08-04 07:09:36 +00:00
c95b4ad290
* In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the
...
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
either everything is registered or nothing is. This is for
recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
the garbage collector.
2003-08-01 15:41:47 +00:00
d99d04e644
* Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy.
...
* Simplified realiseSlice().
2003-08-01 15:06:23 +00:00
545145cd58
* normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus
...
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber
each other's builds.
* Fixed a bug in `make install'.
2003-08-01 14:11:19 +00:00
9df93f30bd
* Don't use substitutes in addToStore().
2003-08-01 09:01:51 +00:00
06434072e7
* Put the database verifier in a transaction.
2003-07-31 19:49:11 +00:00
06d3d7355d
* Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions.
...
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not
every time they are used. This is necessary because tables have to
outlive all transactions that refer to them.
2003-07-31 16:05:35 +00:00
177a7782ae
* Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB).
...
* Checkpoint on exit.
2003-07-31 14:28:49 +00:00
4a013962bd
* Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary for
...
transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet).
2003-07-31 13:47:13 +00:00
758bd4673a
* Set execute bit.
2003-07-31 13:13:27 +00:00
9f4c19276d
* Basic makefile.
