Eelco Dolstra 9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet 
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Ricardo M. Correia 700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics 
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

Eelco Dolstra 36b90e72d7 nix-shell: Add --packages flag 
This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the
specified packages from Nixpkgs.  For example:

  $ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11 hello

will start a shell in which the given packages are present.

Eelco Dolstra 57386c9bae Binary tarball: Automatically create /nix 
The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere.  The installation script
uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist.  It also fetches the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.

Shea Levy 0c3e8a616e nix-instantiate: Add a --no-readonly-mode flag 
This allows running nix-instantiate --eval-only without performing the
evaluation in readonly mode, letting features like import from
derivation and automatic substitution of builtins.storePath paths work.
