Eelco Dolstra 11158028be * Cleanup. 2007-01-13 14:21:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1073b1780a * Remove debug message. 2006-12-13 14:29:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12 23:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the
names of the attributes in an attribute set.
2006-12-12 16:14:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).
2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.

Eelco Dolstra 7e85a2af5f * Fix importing of derivation outputs. 2006-11-03 16:17:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dd300fb48d * Some better error messages. 2006-10-23 16:45:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 17f4883bfe * Better message. 2006-10-19 17:43:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9bd93f7606 * toFile: maintain the references. 2006-10-19 17:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra daa8f85fcd * Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10. 2006-10-17 14:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24737f279e * Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests. 2006-10-17 14:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4bd5cdb90b * Print out the offending path. 2006-10-17 14:01:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58ff6939f4 * An awful backwards compatibility hack. 2006-10-17 12:58:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3059df0f1e * baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute. 2006-10-17 12:34:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra be1961c9f8 * toPath: should be the identity on paths. 2006-10-17 11:07:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cba913c521 * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. 2006-10-17 11:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass
non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17 10:58:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7de5fe2fc2 * Do the path check on the normal form. 2006-10-17 10:57:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another
kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-11 21:59:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4c5c2020 * Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix
expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10 21:23:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bd0c40e1e9 * import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make import (x + y)'
work, where x is a store path.
2006-10-10 15:07:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5fd44654db * toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the
argument.
2006-10-03 15:38:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
2006-10-03 14:55:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac19b333b3 * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. 2006-10-02 15:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7581cfdee4 * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. 2006-10-02 14:43:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e347033f71 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand
side should be a path, I guess.
* Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the
  store directory.
* Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24 21:39:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24 18:23:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22 15:29:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22 14:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)
2006-09-22 14:31:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e91d8621f * Fix comment. 2006-09-21 18:52:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1bdc152931 * Shut up a warning. 2006-09-20 16:36:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0623359fbc * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). 2006-09-20 16:15:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 01d169f817 * Support `++'.
* More follow restrictions on layout.
2006-09-11 13:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fc195519b5 * Sone missing #includes. 2006-09-05 08:54:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bafc1690fc * Move setuid stuff to libutil.
* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04 22:55:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e5a6c09b12 * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. 2006-09-04 22:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4be5443882 * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. 2006-09-04 22:08:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3ce954582 * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++
marshalling code.
2006-09-04 21:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aab8812732 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. 2006-09-04 15:12:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }
