Eelco Dolstra 3632019b73 * Quick hack to let nix-install-package set the package name properly
(e.g., "java-front-0.9pre15899" instead of "java-front";
  particularly important when doing upgrades later on).
2006-09-25 14:00:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d43565c3e8 * In `nix-channel --update', skip manifests that assume a Nix store at
a different location than the user's.  This makes channels usable as
  a source deployment mechanism for people who install Nix under
  non-standard prefixes.  (NIX-57)
2006-09-25 11:11:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68ae953d8a * Clean up calls to system(). 2006-09-25 10:44:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76c9710091 * Use builtins.toPath. 2006-09-25 10:29:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0bd5eb71a0 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9).
* `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause.
* Tests for nix-install-package.
* Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.

Eelco Dolstra ee5040421f * Try konsole and gnome-terminal in addition to xterm. 2006-09-21 11:29:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1b804f88e4 * Absolute path to rm (NIX-51).
* Don't hardcore /nix/bin and /nix/store.
2006-09-20 16:23:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 947e645789 * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54). 2006-09-20 15:14:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a060adf165 * Use paths, not strings, when calling the function that generates
NARs.  Fixes the impurity of nix-push (NIX-21).
* Better help.
2006-09-20 15:04:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7dd342e482 * Doh. 2006-09-19 16:40:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ee6cf99660 * Doh! Of course we have to take execute permission into account.
* Restore the mtime on modified directories.
2006-09-19 16:14:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6dbed1bf38 * `optimise-store.pl' reduces disk space consumption by hard-linking
all identitical files in the Nix store to each other.  (Previously
  it only computed the size that would be saved by doing so.)
2006-09-19 14:58:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07cec27848 * Cleanups. 2006-09-19 14:27:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9488ae7357 * `show-duplication.pl', a small utility that shows the amount of
package duplication present in (e.g.) a profile.  It shows the
  number of instances of each package in a closure, along with the
  size in bytes of each instance as well as the "waste" (the
  difference between the sum of the sizes of all instances and the
  average size).

  $ ./show-duplication.pl /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
  gcc 11
    3.3.6 19293318
    3.4.4 21425257
    ...
    average 14942970, waste 149429707
  coreutils 6
  ...
  average package duplication 1.87628865979381, total size 3486330471, total waste 1335324237, 38.3017114443825% wasted

  This utility is useful for measuring the cost in terms of disk space
  of the Nix approach.

Eelco Dolstra 2e210b2387 * Convenience option `nix-collect-garbage -d' (--delete-old): removes
old generations of *all* profiles in /nix/var/nix/profiles, then
  runs the garbage collector.  Quick way to get rid of all old stuff.
  Of course, one cannot roll back to earlier points in time after
  this.
2006-09-06 14:23:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e239a37ff * file:/ -> file:// 2006-08-09 19:37:23 +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 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
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 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 dcded7da47 * Don't try to do DNS lookups. 2006-07-21 12:28:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebcccbd358 * Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,
such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc.  This is
  inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other
  platforms.  Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in
  /proc/NNN.

  The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store
  paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that
  are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e"
  on a running program).
2006-07-19 16:49:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 04cf72287b * This may be useful in the future. 2006-05-31 09:24:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3c07782d1 * Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'. 2006-05-08 20:00:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 05bb644890 * Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,
$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache
2006-03-14 16:35:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9811815429 * Write messages to stderr, not stdout. 2006-03-10 09:41:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 120f00c04f * More online help. 2006-03-03 14:25:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d54312f87 * Rewrote nix-build in Perl, since sh is just too limited (turns out
that arrays are a bash extension, so it didn't work on FreeBSD).
  Also fixes NIX-8 (readlink(1) dependency).
2006-03-03 14:15:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 85793fa438 * Remove debug statement. 2006-02-24 17:10:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2f16b9cae * A script to remove from a manifest those patches whose base or
target no longer applies to any available release.  This is a
  partial fix for NIX-34 (when producing linear patch sequences
  between releases, the number of patches grows without bound).
2006-02-24 16:05:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5168f9bb00 * Canonicalise manifests a bit by sorting them. 2006-02-24 16:02:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43fa1c20e7 * Separate the cache reading code. 2006-02-22 14:35:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 928cce5922 * Directory for nix.cs.uu.nl manifest / cache maintenance scripts. 2006-02-22 14:13:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcec32a2c5 * Use right directories for NAR files and patches.
* Print errors to STDERR.
2006-02-22 14:10:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 982399bb14 * Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias).
Example:

    $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11

  So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression!
2006-02-10 17:37:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 151f10dbc7 * Add @bindir@. 2006-02-01 12:41:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83424eb71b * Don't force a build of derivations. 2006-01-26 23:18:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4d4969ae9 * New tools nix-pack-closure and nix-unpack-closure. These provide a
useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another
  machine.

  These commands provide functionality previously possible through
  `nix-push --copy'.  However, they are much more convenient in many
  situations (though possibly less efficient).
  
  Example:
  $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure
  (on another machine:)
  $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure

  Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a
  user environment.  One should do `nix-env -i
  /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that.

  Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine
  `scratchy' through ssh:
  
  $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure
2006-01-12 15:17:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab5c6bb3a3 * Change referer' to referrer' throughout. In particular, the
nix-store query options `--referer' and `--referer-closure' have
  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).
2005-12-13 21:04:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc528128cc * FreeBSD compatibility fix. 2005-11-17 13:58:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 221c79013f * Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21). 2005-10-29 18:17:45 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 15ff877438 add @coreutils@ to correctly use coreutils to create a profile. This is needed
for NixOS, where we might not know our PATH in advance.
2005-10-11 17:30:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 607a2f01e6 * Remove other uses of IPC::Open2. 2005-09-21 17:14:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95304172a5 * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file
  descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file
  descriptor.  So we just use the normal open() function instead.
  
  This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).
