d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.

f316b6c1a9 * Manual updates (especially how nix-build makes testing packages much
easier; no longer need a helper expression).

5ca45d085e * Use "propagated-user-env-packages", not "propagated-build-inputs"
for packages that should be propagated to the user environment.
2006-09-25 15:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
02f2335712 * Propagated packages now have lower priority; they are symlinked
*after* the packages that have been explicitly installed, and
  collisions are ignored.
2006-09-25 15:07:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3632019b73 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front";
  particularly important when doing upgrades later on).

d43565c3e8 * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at
a different location than the user's.  This makes channels usable as
  a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under
  non-standard prefixes.  (NIX-57)

76c9710091 * Use builtins.toPath. 2006-09-25 10:29:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e347033f71 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand
side should be a path, I guess.
* Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the
  store directory.
* Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.

0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.

e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00

df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22 15:29:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22 14:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)

666babbbfa * Use a bounded amount of memory in scanForReferences() by not reading
regular files into memory all at once.

Eelco Dolstra
385c6f8737 * Supply the 64-bit ATerm patch, but don't apply it (since that
requires rerunning Autoconf/Automake).  Interested users should do
  that themselves.

Eelco Dolstra
4cab35d1a6 * Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes
(NIX-22).

25df501704 * GC options in nix-store --help (NIX-15). 2006-09-21 19:06:34 +00:00

0bd5eb71a0 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9).
* `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause.
* Tests for nix-install-package.
* Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.

Eelco Dolstra
a060adf165 * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates
NARs.  Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21).
* Better help.

ee6cf99660 * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.
* Restore the mtime on modified directories.

6dbed1bf38 * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other.  (Previously
  it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
