Eelco Dolstra f83c5e3e5f * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
  .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
  if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)

Eelco Dolstra 078e20885e * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:
$ nix-instantiate --help
error: unknown flag `--help`
Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information.

Eelco Dolstra 5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-12-01 14:36:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e7ea52d3b3 * One-click installation :-)
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which
  contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches),
  unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the
  user's environment.

  For best results, associate the command `xterm -e
  /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type
  `application/x-nix-package' and visit
  http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.

Eelco Dolstra 7102455cba * Don't cache the manifest. 2003-10-27 18:43:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0eab306466 * NarPath -> NarName. 2003-10-20 09:08:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0a7a4e087 * Remove some debug output. 2003-10-16 19:24:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).

Eelco Dolstra 5fc7127643 * Keep sources (derivation expression) by default, `--no-source' to
override.
2003-10-15 10:34:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 08b7319f5b * Follow successors by default (use `--no-successors' to override). 2003-10-09 15:38:31 +00:00

* nar.sh needs a path.
2003-08-28 10:10:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 920193beb1 * Don't continue when the call to nix fails. 2003-08-25 14:36:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e374dbf89b * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix
store, and print its hash.
2003-08-15 10:13:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 01e30360d4 * Don't use a temporary file. 2003-08-15 09:39:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8035d06f2 * Allow a name to be given to a system configuration through `--name
NAME'.  E.g., on the losser Subversion server, I do `nix-switch --name 
  svn $(fix ...)' to atomically upgrade the server (the SVN server 
  uses the Apache and Subversion installations in /nix/var/nix/links/svn).
2003-08-06 14:48:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b9c9b461ea * Made nix-push much faster. 2003-08-05 12:30:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd30f52cfc * Made nix-pull much faster by performing all Fix instantiations at
the same time.
2003-08-05 11:14:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1cb030736e * Bug: Fix does not allow empty names, so don't generate them. 2003-07-29 17:56:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a01629894d * Use `--query --requisites' and include successors when pushing. Don't
use `--query --generators' anymore.
2003-07-29 15:19:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40f32ae00a * Typo: if -> elsif. 2003-07-29 14:42:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8846465934 * Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*.
Renamed `fstateRefs' to `fstateRequisites'.  The semantics of this
  function is that it returns a list of all paths necessary to realise
  a given expression.  For a derive expression, this is the union of
  requisites of the inputs; for a slice expression, it is the path of
  each element in the slice.  Also included are the paths of the
  expressions themselves.  Optionally, one can also include the
  requisites of successor expressions (to recycle intermediate
  results).

* `nix-switch' now distinguishes between an expression and its normal
  form.  Usually, only the normal form is registered as a root of the
  garbage collector.  With the `--source-root' flag, it will also
  register the original expression as a root.

* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--keep-successors' which
  causes successors not to be included in the list of garbage paths.

* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--invert' which will print all
  paths that should *not* be garbage collected.
2003-07-29 14:28:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce5fd1cc12 * Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks 
  up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another 
  glibc so loading barfs.

  Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in
  executables/libraries.  The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is 
  harder.  (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., 
  `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the 
  rpath for the libraries in LIST).  It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, 
  which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but 
  *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.
2003-07-28 16:07:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39ce70025b * Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.
* `make dist'.
2003-07-23 15:53:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e877c69d78 * Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are
substituting for (obvious, really).

* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
  path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
  preventing a path copy.

* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
  that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id.  This
  is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
  build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
  divergence.  It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
  that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

Eelco Dolstra d84931ee56 * Changed nix-pull to match nix-push. 2003-07-21 22:05:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c7bdb76fe4 * Syntax fixes.
* When pushing, put the hash in the file name so that the 
  client can verify (proof-carrying file names?).
2003-07-21 21:34:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7984cfc7c1 * Argh, another short-write problem. Added wrappers around
read()/write() to fix this once and for all.
2003-07-20 21:11:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab350eafd2 * Generate nar.sh, fetchurl.sh. 2003-07-18 07:42:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 54664b6fb7 * The write() system call can write less than the requested
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP.  
  This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes.

  Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix 
  --dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero 
  exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline.  
  Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements
  in the pipeline?  (In other words, is it at all possible to 
  write reliable shell scripts?)
