Eelco Dolstra f316b6c1a9 * Manual updates (especially how nix-build makes testing packages much 
easier; no longer need a helper expression).
 2006-10-02 11:50:55 +00:00

 2006-09-28 09:10:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 015ac7c7da * Release notes. 2006-09-27 13:27:26 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra a04a65d7a5 * Release notes. 2006-09-06 14:29:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f41297fdce * Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example: 
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'

  to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
  all-packages.nix).
 2006-08-23 16:33:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68515b5a96 * Release notes. 2006-08-22 13:19:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1a9a1f2768 * Convert to DocBook 5. 
* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
 2006-08-21 16:05:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 601a8eab79 * Ugh. Darwin's chmod insists that flags come before the mode 
specification.
 2006-08-01 12:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b11aeb2c4b * Doh. 2006-07-25 13:15:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do, 
e.g.,

  $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver

  The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
  names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
 2006-07-25 11:53:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent

  builder.
 2006-05-31 09:51:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8b5aa91aa7 2006-05-08 14:00:39 +00:00

through the new `gc-reserved-space' option.
 2006-02-16 13:58:10 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra ab5c6bb3a3 * Change referer' to referrer' throughout. In particular, the 
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have
  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).
 2005-12-13 21:04:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1b43fbd8e4 * Oops, that should be Berkeley DB 4.3. Reported by Gerco Ballintijn. 2005-10-18 14:09:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62412c5874 * Document `nix-env --compare-versions'. 2005-10-06 15:51:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ed4de220d2 * Use "source" instead of ".". 2005-09-28 09:00:07 +00:00

* Add missing file to dist.
 2005-09-16 10:35:48 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 025086edea * Release notes in Docbook; ASCII release notes (i.e., the `NEWS' 
file) is now generated from that using `w3m' and some XSL hackery.
 2005-09-14 18:50:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 78c72bf10e * channels -> channels-v3, catamaran -> nix.cs.uu.nl. 2005-08-01 07:30:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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'.
 2005-07-13 17:39:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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).

options were documented, as well as the Nix configuration file.

Eelco Dolstra b05a596d61 * Document setuid Nix installs. 2004-10-31 17:08:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d80d237c5 * Add figures to make install' / make dist'. 2004-10-31 16:13:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8ac8d1ec8 * Began adding build farm docs. 2004-10-29 15:26:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d7abd694 * New language feature: with expressions. 
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
  the attribute set E1 substituted.  E.g.,

    with {x = 123;}; x

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

    with import ./foo.nix;

    ... a ... f ...

  I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
 2004-10-25 16:54:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2cd590d96c * Instead of — use the actual Unicode character. By the way, to 
edit the manual, you should have something like

    (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.xml\\>" 'utf-8)

  in your ~/.emacs.
 2004-10-18 12:22:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 692204e0c5 * Rewrite of package management stuff. 2004-10-14 16:43:09 +00:00
