a562d544d8 When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page
I.e. do what git does.  I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)

Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).

ab42bf1dab nix-install-package: Support binary caches
The .nixpkg file format is extended to optionally include the URL of a
binary cache, which will be used in preference to the manifest URL
(which can be set to a non-existent value).

a7366a764a * Add a -I flag to the Perl bindings to nix-build and some other
scripts.
* Include the version and architecture in the -I flag so that there is
  at least a chance that a Nix binary built for one Perl version will
  run on another version.

d94cb02bfe * nix-install-package: unset NIX_REMOTE because $NIX_MANIFESTS_DIR
doesn't work when building through the Nix daemon.  This also
  ensures an error message when the user doesn't have sufficient
  privileges to do nix-pull.

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).

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.

6bafeafb88 * nix-install-package: Use the new (trivial) package format generated
by the build farm.  See e.g.,
  http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nixpkgs-0.8/nixpkgs-0.7pre2302/;
  the user can click on packages, and they will be installed (assuming
  the `application/nix-package' MIME type has been associated with
  `nix-install-package').

  Nix expressions are no longer involved: a "package" is just a
  pointer to a manifest, and the top-level store derivation to be
  added to the user environment.  This makes these packages
  independent from Nix expression evolution.

  Note that we install the store derivation ($drvPath), not the
  resulting output path ($outPath).  This is equivalent, except that
  installing the derivation maintains the back-link from the output
  path to the derivation that built it.  This is useful for
  maintenance.

* Automatically re-exec in an xterm so that the user sees something
  when `nix-install-package' is run from a browser.

03f1d1ecb5 * Switched from wget to curl.

16f9b133ec * Improved `nix-push': it now uses HTTP PUT (instead of rsync) to copy
files.  Target location is no longer hard-coded; it accepts a number
  of URLs on the command line.

* `nix-install-package': compatibility fixes.

e7ea52d3b3 * One-click installation :-)
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which
  contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches),
  unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the
  user's environment.

  For best results, associate the command `xterm -e
  /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type
  `application/x-nix-package' and visit
  http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.
