a5ceb5bc0b * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and
  it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.

22d3587f3b * In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments
with default values automatically.  I.e., e -> e {}.

  This feature makes convenience expressions such as
  pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do

  $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix

  since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a
  default value (__thisSystem).

928a7c06dc * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't
handle it.  It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive.  Probably we
  will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit
  machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring
  max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't
  there).

040140dd1c * Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
  attributes named `x' and `y' removed.  It is not an error for the
  named attributes to be missing from the input set.

88dea78cdf * Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, since
they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences
  (e.g., on Subversion).

edd145d2fb * Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. This
makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g.,
  `nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).

77557a6f06 Commit 3000!
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy.  The expression
  `derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially)

    attrs // {
      type = "derivation";
      outPath = derivation! attrs;
      drvPath = derivation! attrs;
    }

  where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation
  instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do).  The
  advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and
  `nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to
  instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute.  (However,
  `nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always
  evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes).

  Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other,
  for example,

    webServer = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl";
      services = [svnService];
    };

    svnService = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = webServer.hostName;
    };

  Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).

d5219a351a * Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in the
database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot
  be reconstructed fully).

c815aff21b * `nix-store --add-fixed' to preload the outputs of fixed-output
derivations.  This is mostly to simplify the implementation of
  nix-prefetch-{url, svn}, which now work properly in setuid
  installations.

* Enforce valid store names in `nix-store --add / --add-fixed'.
