Eelco Dolstra fdec72c6cc * `nix-collect-garbage' now actually performs a garbage collection, it 
doesn't just print the set of paths that should be deleted.  So
  there is no more need to pipe the result into `nix-store --delete'
  (which doesn't even exist anymore).

Eelco Dolstra 1eddee59f2 * The default verbosity level of all Nix commands is now lvlInfo. 
* Builder output is written to standard error by default.
  * The option `-B' is gone.
  * The option `-Q' suppresses builder output.

The result of this is that most Nix invocations shouldn't need any
flags w.r.t. logging.

Eelco Dolstra 151e61fa5a * By default, `nix-env -i' now deletes previously installed 
derivations with names matching the derivations being installed.
  The option `--preserve-installed / -P' overrides this behaviour.

Eelco Dolstra 24286e15c9 * `nix-env -u' now allows a specific version to be specified when 
upgrading.

  This fixes a bug reported by Martin:

    $ nix-env -i foo-1.0
    $ nix-env -u foo-1.0
    upgrading foo-1.0 to foo-1.1

Eelco Dolstra 91dc023665 * Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual: 
Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is
  already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on
  normalising the derivation.

  The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have
  registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from,
  say, a network repository.  If the repository is down, the
  realisation of the derivation will fail.  When this option is
  specified, Nix will build the derivation instead.  Thus, binary
  installation falls back on a source installation.  This option is
  not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient
  failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from
  source (with the related consumption of resources).

Eelco Dolstra b113edeab7 * A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as 
much as possible.  (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.)

* Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when
  a build failed, but now we have to clean up.  In particular this
  means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang
  around until the worker exits.  So the worker now maintains weak
  pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection.

* Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.

Eelco Dolstra b0c9baf1b5 * EBNF grammar for the Nix expression language. 2004-04-08 13:31:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92e832348d * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands. 
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e.,
  `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended.
* nix-prefetch-url works again.

Eelco Dolstra 0616b7feea * Documented the most important nix-env flags. 2004-02-10 11:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 66e94d3275 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g., 
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.
