Eelco Dolstra	e8d53bfdc9	Revert "Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default" ... This reverts commit ddc58e7896. https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1435322	2018-02-22 14:20:07 +01:00

Eelco Dolstra	ddc58e7896	Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default ... The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it. Issue #179.	2018-02-22 12:27:25 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	88c90d5e6d	Manual: Put configuration options in sorted order	2018-02-21 18:08:47 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	0d54671b7b	Manual: Update chapter on remote builds ... Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store ssh://mac').	2018-02-21 16:24:26 +01:00

Shea Levy	88cd2d41ac	Add plugins to make Nix more extensible. ... All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.	2018-02-08 12:44:37 -05:00
Eelco Dolstra	abe6be578b	Merge pull request #1816 from shlevy/add-path ... Add path primop.	2018-02-07 13:32:35 +01:00
Shea Levy	69d82e5c58	Add path primop. ... builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).	2018-02-06 16:48:08 -05:00
Eelco Dolstra	84722d67d2	Remove nix-build --hash ... Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus, after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again. It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but "nix-build --hash" didn't do that.	2018-02-03 10:08:05 +01:00

Eelco Dolstra	c287d73121	Rename 1.12 -> 2.0 ... Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).	2018-01-31 18:58:45 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	6fa690291a	Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command ... This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a store path obtained from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix which is the same store path that the installer at https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses. The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS, or when installed outside of the Nix store).	2018-01-31 16:24:43 +01:00

Eelco Dolstra	44272d8719	Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute" ... Commit c2154d4c84 renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".	2018-01-04 16:58:39 +01:00
