Benjamin Hipple	65453e2d77	Docs: update fixed output hashes ... `fetchurl` will now throw if given an `md5`, and the hashes have generally been upgraded to avoid it and use `sha256` as a default. This updates the documentation examples in the manual accordingly.	2018-10-04 02:37:15 +00:00

Sean Seefried	2ef8f0608c	Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection ... While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure).

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

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
