Eelco Dolstra d072485d28 * Get `nix-push' working again. It now uses Nix/Fix to create Nix
archives (using the package in corepkgs/nar).
* queryPathByHash -> expandHash, and it takes an argument specifying
  the target path (which may be empty).
* Install the core Fix packages in $prefix/share/fix.  TODO: bootstrap
  Nix and install Nix as a Fix package.

Eelco Dolstra bc57eb3c8a * Set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH as well as C_INCLUDE_PATH. Otherwise g++
won't see header files under Nix control.

Eelco Dolstra f66055fa1e * Set umask to 0022 on startup. 2003-05-30 20:53:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 383297e0e8 * Don't set MANPATH. It's not necessary. 2003-05-30 15:17:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84e235eae8 * Set MANPATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH. 2003-05-30 11:49:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5e01b220b3 * Fix the rsync destination. 2003-05-27 11:58:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d8bdf5b06e * Removed some debug code that prevented packages from building. 2003-05-26 14:19:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f8d91f20e6 * Nix can now fetch prebuilts (and other files) from the network, iff
a mapping from the hash to a url has been registered through `nix
  regurl'.

* Bug fix in nix: don't pollute stdout when running tar, it made
  nix-switch barf.

* Bug fix in nix-push-prebuilts: don't create a subdirectory on the
  target when rsync'ing.

Eelco Dolstra 7dd91d3779 * Prebuilt package sharing. We allow transparent binary deployment by
sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix
  descriptor).

  `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by
  consulting the paths and URLs specified in
  $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf.  The mappings ($pkghash,
  $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with
  Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when
  installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking
  $location.

  `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no
  prebuilt is known to exist.  It can then optionally upload these
  to the network through rsync.

  `nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy.  Nix provides the
  mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands.

Eelco Dolstra d6d930a975 * Bug fix: deleting the old links didn't work properly. 2003-04-25 15:20:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 243370bc52 * nix-switch now removes the link to the previously activated system
package as a root of the garbage collector, unless `--keep' is
  specified.

Eelco Dolstra f7526febe4 * A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage
doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their
  descriptor hashes.  So we can do

    nix info $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and

    nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to actually delete them.

Eelco Dolstra 30a6122f80 * When we activate a descriptor in nix-switch, remember its hash.
This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
  doing

    nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)

  which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
  referenced by them.  We could then garbage collect unused packages
  by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
  returned by `nix closure ...'.

Eelco Dolstra aa8fda4b54 * We no longer use nix-populate standalone, rather we use it as a
build action for `system' packages (like system.fix) that have
  dependencies on all packages we want to activate.

  So the command sequence to switch to a new activation configuration
  of the system would be:

    $ fix -i .../fixdescriptors/system.fix
    ...
    system.fix -> 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f

    $ nix-switch 89cf4713b37cc66989304abeb9ea189f

* A nix-profile.sh script that can be included in .bashrc.

Eelco Dolstra f56b7312b2 * Descriptor importing in Fix. 2003-04-08 15:36:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cc6eafb3d0 * FreeBSD / gcc 2.95 compatibility fixes.
* A script to generate prebuilt registration scripts.
