Eelco Dolstra 2317d8f671 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a
top-level function.

Eelco Dolstra 0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
  with some modifications.  This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
  attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
  using `nix-env -i -A'.  Example:

    $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
    subversionWithJava  subversion-1.2.3
    subversion          subversion-1.3.2
    subversion14        subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
    xorg.xorgserver     xorg-server-1.1.0

Eelco Dolstra 57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f3725b167 * Better error messages (especially wrt types). 2006-07-19 15:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1c63dc362 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages. 2006-05-30 11:31:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b52e711910 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.

Eelco Dolstra dc719e6ba5 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45. 2006-05-02 13:39:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6cecad2be0 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library="
      + freetype + "/lib";
2006-05-01 09:56:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b69e469328 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23 16:43:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d1b1cafd * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute).
  E.g.,

  $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x

Eelco Dolstra b90c00e63f * Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed. 2006-03-09 15:10:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6dca5c9099 * When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
  "i686-linux"').  This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
  on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
  platforms.

  Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky.  In particular,
  due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
  disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.

Eelco Dolstra c6120352b3 * In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the
derivation(s) we're interested, e.g.,

    $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11

  List elements can also be selected:

    $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion

  This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation.  Of
  course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.

Eelco Dolstra 4eb637c799 * When querying all derivations, filter out syntactically equal derivations. 2006-02-08 16:15:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8688e83194 * When evaluating, automatically call functions with default arguments. 2006-02-08 15:22:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39f50db731 * Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr. 2006-02-08 13:21:16 +00:00
