Eelco Dolstra 84a4dd5ff0 * Don't use fdatasync since it doesn't work on Snow Leopard.
* Don't refer to config.h in util.hh, because config.h is not
  installed (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/303053).
2010-02-24 15:46:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fae0427324 * ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS. 2010-02-24 12:25:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5954eadf67 * Remove the fdatasync check since it's no longer needed. 2010-02-24 12:16:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b4e6d98fc3 * configure: flag --with-sqlite. 2010-02-23 22:12:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c1a07f9445 * Convert the Nix database to SQLite. 2010-02-18 13:16:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2723d9b56e * If fdatasync() isn't available, use fsync(). 2010-02-02 11:57:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 53a4981fa2 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package manager work on OpenSolaris 2009-10-08 14:50:37 +00:00
Peter Simons 18f0ff003d configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file size support
Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e.
Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the
functionality in case of problems.
2009-10-06 09:14:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 51ad64cc07 * Use xmllint (>= 2.7.4) for RelaxNG validation instead of Jing. 2009-09-18 11:45:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a5599fd01 * Typo. 2009-05-07 11:33:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9856efc7b0 * Support doing a fully static build. Statically linked Nix binaries
will be useful as a fallback on platforms for which there are no
  RPMs/Debs available.
2009-03-26 12:22:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77d272623f * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
  isn't a NAR archive.
2009-03-22 17:36:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra be88248add * Make the version available to release.nix. 2009-03-09 15:05:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c504d90c11 * Support i686-linux builds directly on x86_64-linux Nix
installations.  This is implemented using the personality() syscall,
  which causes uname to return "i686" in child processes.
2009-01-12 16:30:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac36c6cd44 * Some hackery to make "make check" succeed on Cygwin. 2008-12-12 15:36:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b70a8e7c9 * Detect whether unshare() is available. 2008-12-12 13:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7c54f1603f * Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
  children.  So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
  won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
  anymore.  Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
  automatically when the builder exits.
2008-12-11 17:00:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d4eb9dd07 * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree. 2008-11-26 01:13:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ab09a55cf * Bump the version number. 2008-11-20 21:51:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 285d26374a * Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the Autoconf
default of /usr/local.  However, localstatedir and storedir are set
  to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're
  explicitly overriden.
2008-11-20 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0e92f6d47 * Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-06-09 13:52:45 +00:00
Michael Raskin b4bc8b7616 --proxy=proxy:3128 2008-05-07 14:18:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 658816ddc9 * Make really sure that we use bash. The line
NEED_PROG(shell, bash)

  actually uses the content of $shell if set, which often points at
  /bin/sh.
2008-04-10 09:54:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 895c953817 * Bumped the version number to 0.12. 2007-12-31 17:53:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df303666bc * Use strsignal if available to give better error messages for
builders that fail due to a signal.
2007-12-14 14:49:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5f8a203b55 * A rule to make a PDF version of the manual. 2007-11-01 14:42:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b95603595 * Depend on bash instead of sh (since we use a few bashisms). 2007-10-29 10:46:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 42d80d1170 * On FreeBSD, sys/mount.h needs sys/param.h. 2007-10-29 10:03:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d91cd30563 * Detect whether chroot / bind-mount support is available. 2007-10-27 16:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 93aefd9fc0 * Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable).  The
  top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
  attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
  {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}).  This makes
  attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
  e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
2007-05-01 23:16:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2716f9bc5f * It seems that svnversion prints a carriage return on Cygwin, so we
get a invalid #define VERSION.  Use "svnversion -n" to leave out the
  newline.  Fix provided by Marc Weber.
2007-04-16 12:00:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db1973d012 * Look for the openssl program at compile time. If not found, call
openssl through $PATH at runtime.
2007-03-01 13:30:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d03f0d4117 * Check for lchown. 2006-12-07 18:51:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84d6459bd5 * Use setreuid if setresuid is not available. 2006-12-03 14:32:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71e867c5f5 * Remove --enable-setuid, --with-nix-user and --with-nix-group.
Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
  platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
  FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
  binaries.
2006-11-29 21:06:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e790404318 * Don't use the result of `uname -p' on x86_64 as it gives wacky
results on some machines. (NIX-69)
2006-11-13 14:54:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d694eef4c * Require Perl 5.8.0 or newer. I mean, it *is* more than four years
old...
2006-10-19 19:20:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7bada48b36 * Bumped the version number to 0.11. 2006-10-06 13:45:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4cab35d1a6 * Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to support files >= 2^31 bytes
(NIX-22).
2006-09-22 11:13:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 22d13d6ec2 * Check for patch (NIX-59). 2006-09-20 15:28:47 +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 e5678b3435 * Map "ppc" to "powerpc" so that Linux on PowerPC will be reported as
"powerpc-linux".
2006-08-25 16:23:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1a9a1f2768 * Convert to DocBook 5.
* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2006-08-21 16:05:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d456fc35a * On Cygwin, set the system type to i686-cygwin, and disable dynamic
linking.
2006-05-31 11:50:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 03162f8f47 * Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the
externals directory.  This is in particular useful because though
  most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2,
  which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-04-25 10:45:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a4c63c6e8e * Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line. 2006-03-01 12:15:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ddb78dfc3d * Check whether "nix-store -q --graph" generates a valid dot graph.
* Test "nix-store -q --tree" as well.
2006-02-22 13:55:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6f586d0ea * Optional switch "--with-openssl=<PATH>" to use OpenSSL's
implementations of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256.  The main benefit is that
  we get assembler-optimised implementations of MD5 and SHA-1 (though
  not SHA-256 (at least on x86), unfortunately).  OpenSSL's SHA-1
  implementation on Intel is twice as fast as ours.
2006-02-13 19:52:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8291f6d968 * bsdiff updated to 4.3. This makes Nix depend on libbz2. 2006-02-01 16:48:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e38578433 * log2xml -> nix-log2xml. 2005-10-05 09:42:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 89cd0f57b1 * Use -all_load on Mac OS X. 2005-09-21 11:12:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4fe3bd5b1 * Bump the version number to 0.10. 2005-09-16 13:47:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d1d0271996 * Check for w3m. 2005-09-15 15:21:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 896c0b92f3 * This is not a GNU project :-P 2005-09-15 09:18:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c20a08293 * Build dynamic libraries. 2005-07-22 14:52:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6c88d67780 * Build .tar.bz2 files in `make dist'. 2005-05-07 15:45:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d86790910 * Bump the version number to 0.9. 2005-04-11 13:04:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 90905634ed * Doh. 2005-04-08 09:28:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab75a50ba4 * Fink compatibility. 2005-03-21 10:06:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62dbfbc45b * Remove Docbook EBNF dependency. 2005-03-15 14:38:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bacd3a6cfa * Purify all corepkgs builders. 2005-03-15 12:03:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d46b4262dc * Bump version number to 0.8. 2005-01-12 13:23:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f07ebc67e * Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source
  tree.  The license is a bit peculiar, but it does allow verbatim
  copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes
  to the sources).
2004-12-29 22:08:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d1b2101cc * Place manifests in /nix/var/nix/manifests.
* Use the new patch downloader.
2004-12-20 16:38:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d5318c2ff * Bump version number to 0.7. 2004-11-14 14:00:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ed09821859 * Use atdiff' instead of cmp' for checking test output.
* Don't use local file names in tests since they will produce
  different parse trees depending on the current directory.
2004-10-27 13:12:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3ade3e7721 * Revert r1594 - it didn't solve the problem. Instead add
svn-revision to distributions, which should fix it.
2004-10-25 13:51:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2248becfd3 * Make sure that the prerelease version is included in `--version'. 2004-10-25 12:15:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 47f87072ad * A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.
Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env
  etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user.  So for
  instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that
  the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so
  that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression.  Now we just
  switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and
  the like.  The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary,
  however.  Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in
  it is executed as the original user.

* Back out r1385.  setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new
  real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the
  original uid.  setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the
  manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it
  unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).
2004-09-09 21:12:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5396304c73 * Use setre[ug]id() instead of setres[ug]id(), since the former is
more common than the latter (which exists only on Linux and
  FreeBSD).  We don't really care about dropping the saved IDs since
  there apparently is no way to quiry them in any case, so it can't
  influence the build (unlike the effective IDs which are checked by
  Perl for instance).
2004-09-09 15:55:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e77fbe0fa2 * On systems that have the setresuid() and setresgid() system calls to
set the real uid and gid to the effective uid and gid, the Nix
  binaries can be installed as owned by the Nix user and group instead
  of root, so no root involvement of any kind is necessary.

  Linux and FreeBSD have these functions.
2004-08-20 15:22:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d35116c13 * Setuid support for sharing a Nix installation between multiple
users.

  If the configure flag `--enable-setuid' is used, the Nix programs
  nix-env, nix-store, etc. are installed with the setuid bit turned on
  so that they are executed as the user and group specified by
  `--with-nix-user=USER' and `--with-nix-group=GROUP', respectively
  (with defaults `nix' and `nix').

  The setuid programs drop all special privileges if they are executed
  by a user who is not a member of the Nix group.

  The setuid feature is a quick hack to enable sharing of a Nix
  installation between users who trust each other.  It is not
  generally secure, since any user in the Nix group can modify (by
  building an appropriate derivation) any object in the store, and for
  instance inject trojans into binaries used by other users.

  The setuid programs are owned by root, not the Nix user.  This is
  because on Unix normal users cannot change the real uid, only the
  effective uid.  Many programs don't work properly when the real uid
  differs from the effective uid.  For instance, Perl will turn on
  taint mode.  However, the setuid programs drop all root privileges
  immediately, changing all uids and gids to the Nix user and group.
2004-08-20 14:49:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 966bd9d19f * WTF? More canonical system name problems ("athlon-linux" instead of
"i686-linux").
2004-08-13 09:57:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39eaecbc98 * Slightly better heuristic for picking the canonical system type.
Now SuSE and Red Hat should yield the same type (`i686-linux').  Mac
  OS X should now give `powerpc-darwin' (i.e., the version number is
  gone).
2004-07-18 21:07:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37ee6cef99 * Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism. 2004-06-21 09:51:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e8411948ff * A Nix mode for Emacs. 2004-06-04 14:31:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 19479899fb * Don't set the rpath here --- it's not portable. 2004-05-18 12:57:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d08093b48 * Go back to the old way of generating the system name, and allow it
to be specified in configure (using `--with-system=SYSTEM').
2004-05-18 09:45:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 256eeab711 * Allow the location of the store etc. to be specified using
environment variables.
* Started adding some automatic tests.
* Do a `make check' when building RPMs.
2004-05-04 12:15:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd927c5d25 * Bump the version number. 2004-04-26 13:44:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bcce9c1ff5 * Only add `-preRELEASE' to the version if STABLE != 1.
* Documented release procedures.
2004-04-26 09:52:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4779abc04 * Pass SYSTEM through config.h, and allow spaces. 2004-04-23 15:16:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 21655a70f5 * Channels. These allow you to stay current with an evolving set of
Nix expressions.

  To subscribe to a channel (needs to be done only once):

    nix-channel --add \
      http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

  This just adds the given URL to ~/.nix-channels (which can also be
  edited manually).

  To update from all channels:

    nix-channel --update

  This fetches the latest expressions and pulls cache manifests.  The
  default Nix expression (~/.nix-defexpr) is made to point to the
  conjunction of the expressions downloaded from all channels.

  So to update all installed derivations in the current user
  environment:

    nix-channel --update
    nix-env --upgrade '*'

  If you are really courageous, you can put this in a cronjob or
  something.

  You can subscribe to multiple channels.  It is not entirely clear
  what happens when there are name clashes between derivations from
  different channels.  From nix-env/main.cc it appears that the one
  with the lowest (highest?) hash will be used, which is pretty
  meaningless.
2004-04-21 14:54:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f79e9c2d22 * Do initialise state (the DB etc.) when doing a `make install',
unless `--disable-init-state' is passed to configure.
2004-04-21 10:54:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0c9baf1b5 * EBNF grammar for the Nix expression language. 2004-04-08 13:31:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bf3863b546 * Fail if prerequisites are missing. 2004-04-06 08:40:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 03f1d1ecb5 * Switched from wget to curl.
* Made the dependencies on bzip2 and the shell explicit.
2004-04-06 08:18:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d2669d218 * Added a utility that can be used to produce nice HTML pages from Nix
build logs.  The program `log2xml' converts a Nix build log (read
  from standard input) into XML file that can then be converted to
  XHTML by the `log2html.xsl' stylesheet.  The CSS stylesheet
  `logfile.css' is necessary to make it look good.

  This is primarily useful if the log file has a *tree structure*,
  i.e., that sub-tasks such as the various phases of a build (unpack,
  configure, make, etc.) or recursive invocations of Make are
  represented as such.  While a log file is in principle an
  unstructured plain text file, builders can communicate this tree
  structure to `log2xml' by using escape sequences:

  - "\e[p" starts a new nesting level; the first line following the
    escape code is the header;

  - "\e[q" ends the current nesting level.

  The generic builder in nixpkgs (not yet committed) uses this.  It
  shouldn't be to hard to patch GNU Make to speak this protocol.

  Further improvements to the generated HTML pages are to allow
  collapsing/expanding of subtrees, and to abbreviate store paths (but
  to show the full path by hovering the mouse over it).
2004-03-15 21:51:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra beda10f5a2 * Make perl a dependency of Nix. 2004-03-15 15:23:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0dfdafdf6d * Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library. 2004-02-16 16:37:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f34de12140 * Allow the location of the store to be specified (--with-store-dir).
* Do not create stuff in localstatedir when doing `make install'
  (since we may not have write access).  In general, installation of
  constant code/data should be separate from the initialisation of
  mutable state.
2004-02-16 15:23:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c625718513 * Detect flex and bison; updated the manual. 2004-01-30 16:32:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e68af0ce3 * RPM sucks. 2004-01-02 16:09:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ff3657095 * Generate RPM spec file. 2004-01-02 16:04:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 833f2fc92d * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2003-12-22 16:40:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,
"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").

Eelco Dolstra 4da9316c8f * Use svn-revision to construct package version. 2003-11-25 16:49:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra af7e6fe22e * Don't use a hard-coded path. 2003-11-22 21:12:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9898746ef3 * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.

2003-11-19 17:27:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd7ac09f10 * Refactoring (step 2). 2003-11-19 12:03:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so
that it can be used by multiple programs.
2003-11-19 11:35:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 38946e1378 * Forgot this one. 2003-11-18 12:07:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1117ef29d * nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate. 2003-11-18 11:38:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0f020929 * libnix -> libstore. 2003-11-18 10:55:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8798fae304 * Source tree refactoring. 2003-11-18 10:47:59 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra 0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
2003-10-16 16:29:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 41730f5779 * Put the SVN revision number in the version string. 2003-09-23 14:26:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1c7d6bf5fc * Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on
GCC 2.95.
2003-09-11 10:23:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 710175e6a0 * Bumped the version number to 0.3. 2003-08-20 11:31:15 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra d551062ec4 * Scan for wget and use the full path in fetchurl.sh.
* Use nix-hash (not md5sum) in fetchurl.sh.
2003-08-06 09:35:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dec8fbc52b * Check for the pthread library (db4 needs it on some platforms). 2003-07-28 14:13:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 39ce70025b * Incorporated Berkeley DB and ATerm into the source tree.
* `make dist'.
2003-07-23 15:53:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ab350eafd2 * Generate nar.sh, fetchurl.sh. 2003-07-18 07:42:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e6363b05ae * Pass $(prefix) and other variables through -D..., not
through config.h, to prevent silly Autoconf problems.
2003-07-13 19:26:00 +00:00
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.
2003-07-10 13:41:28 +00:00

* Run `test' on `make check'.
2003-06-20 10:53:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fab7b128b9 * Automake sucks. 2003-06-18 08:07:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 34fcf5fa0c * Started integrating the new evaluation model into Nix.
* Cleaned up command-line syntax.
2003-06-17 21:12:58 +00:00
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.
2003-04-09 12:26:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f56b7312b2 * Descriptor importing in Fix. 2003-04-08 15:36:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d2b24cdd1 * `Fix' is a high-level descriptor instantiator for Nix. It replaces
nix-instantiate.
2003-04-08 12:00:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 814b256da4 * Better installation: make directories, create database.
* Fixed the register script.
2003-04-06 22:19:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 136c00e881 * Autoconf / Automake configuration and building. 2003-04-04 16:14:56 +00:00
