Dmitry Kalinkin	75ec68f93a	manual: mention the "channel:" shorthand for NIX_PATH ... Bumped to 15.09 because older channels, when downloaded from nixos.org, require firefox to be accessed via `pkgs.firefox`	2019-03-25 20:55:28 -04:00
zimbatm	514b3c7f83	Add isPath primop ... this is added for completeness' sake since all the other possible `builtins.typeOf` results have a corresponding `builtins.is<Type>`	2019-03-24 11:36:49 +01:00

Spencer Baugh	5f1891b795	nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump ... Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line, --dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix database at once. With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export). Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.	2019-01-23 01:24:34 +00:00
