Eelco Dolstra f41297fdce * Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'

  to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
  all-packages.nix).

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 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.

Eelco Dolstra c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.

Eelco Dolstra 50fe85f016 * For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listed
in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the
  builder.

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).

Eelco Dolstra 025086edea * Release notes in Docbook; ASCII release notes (i.e., the `NEWS'
file) is now generated from that using `w3m' and some XSL hackery.
2005-09-14 18:50:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 78c72bf10e * channels -> channels-v3, catamaran -> nix.cs.uu.nl. 2005-08-01 07:30:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a5ceb5bc0b * nix-build: default to `./default.nix' if no paths are specified.
So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and
  it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.
2005-07-13 17:39:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 88dea78cdf * Crazy: don't use real hashes of real components in examples, since
they cause Nix builds to have unnecessary retained dependences
  (e.g., on Subversion).
