Eelco Dolstra 4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

Eelco Dolstra 4874fd2d9a * Test for `nix-instantiate --eval-only --xml'. 2006-08-17 11:28:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24e234a2fa * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order
produced by ATermMap.  Necessary for testing.
* `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-17 08:53:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 22ba63df16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and
so on.
* Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16 21:59:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 18e4ac0fc6 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XML
representation instead of an ATerm.
* Indent XML output.

Martin Bravenboer 3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

Eelco Dolstra 7455fd8835 * Put the value in an attribute. 2006-08-14 14:24:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4250b641d8 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store
objects that would be freed.

Eelco Dolstra 92f7dfa5b7 * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder are
valid.
2006-08-11 20:15:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d19b6521fc * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in
  parallel).  Useful on multi-processor machines.

Eelco Dolstra a18d02e0b0 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated. 2006-08-09 15:08:47 +00:00
Armijn Hemel c0bfcbdd45 rework the --target flag. If this flag is used, a URI should be given. Default
values are not changed.
2006-08-08 15:42:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0607be7f4 * Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95. 2006-08-07 19:48:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a6b45e252 * In nar.nix, path -> storePath, otherwise we get a collision between
environment variable names on Cygwin (where they are case
  insensitive).
2006-08-07 18:22:57 +00:00
Armijn Hemel a61129c48c add coreutils to the default PATH for this scripts, so we know for sure we have tools like rm, mkdir, and so on 2006-08-05 00:33:52 +00:00
Armijn Hemel f1947cce93 prevent doing recursive chroots, by unsetting NIX_ROOT in the scripts. 2006-08-05 00:31:04 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra f4a502a09a * Use old-school pipe opens; the new style is Perl >= 5.8.0. 2006-08-04 11:51:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 981eff065b * Remove the dependency on `date', use strftime instead. 2006-08-04 11:45:50 +00:00

automated processing.
2006-08-03 15:52:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e267e2625 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that the
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03 14:49:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4750f6c5ed * Simple class for writing XML files. 2006-08-03 13:21:21 +00:00
Armijn Hemel fcb784051f urgh...for some weird reason this one-liner was not in svn. PEBKAC! 2006-08-03 11:48:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a29b64a231 * Better error checking. 2006-08-01 13:50:10 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 4fde308ec0 add a flag --target, so we can override the URL in the MANIFEST file. This
is only for local copies (so file:///)
2006-08-01 13:15:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 601a8eab79 * Ugh. Darwin's chmod insists that flags come before the mode
specification.
2006-08-01 12:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ac237e242 * Show some progress. 2006-08-01 09:43:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4661282fde * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed
to functions from the command line.
* nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28 16:03:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-28 14:01:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ca2238cf81 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-26 15:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2317d8f671 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a
top-level function.
2006-07-25 21:21:50 +00:00
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
2006-07-25 16:40:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b11aeb2c4b * Doh. 2006-07-25 13:15:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
e.g.,

  $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver

  The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
  names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
2006-07-25 11:53:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.
2006-07-24 16:35:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 88acffa20a * `touch' might not be in $PATH. 2006-07-24 16:19:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b545c669a0 * Tests for domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:50:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00
