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).

Eelco Dolstra 8992fce3da * It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a
user environment, e.g.,

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv

  or 

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1

  This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
  entirely.  For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
  plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
  without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
  or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
  dependencies).

Eelco Dolstra a24b78e9f1 * Maintain the references/referers relation also for derivations.
This simplifies garbage collection and `nix-store --query
  --requisites' since we no longer need to treat derivations
  specially.

* Better maintaining of the invariants, e.g., setReferences() can only
  be called on a valid/substitutable path.

Eelco Dolstra 52bf9b86bb * In nix-store: added query `--referers-closure' that returns the
closure of the referers relation rather than the references
  relation, i.e., the set of all paths that directly or indirectly
  refer to the given path.  Note that contrary to the references
  closure this set is not fixed; it can change as paths are added to
  or removed from the store.

Eelco Dolstra 6a0a2d5593 * Terminology fixes. 2005-01-20 16:01:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96de272b48 * Renamed normalise.cc' -> build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->
`derivations.cc', etc.
* Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after
  they have been built/added.  This is so that we can check whether
  the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify').
* When registering path validity, verify that the closure property
  holds.
