Eelco Dolstra 7eed57e784 * Sync with changed substitute mechanism. 
* Accept the NarHash line.
* Clear substitutes in `nix-channel --update'.
 2004-12-20 14:57:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dca48aed34 * Allow an optional hash to be provided. This prevents redundant 
fetches.
 2004-12-13 13:35:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 88888160d2 * Fix nix-prefetch-url in setuid Nix installations. 2004-10-20 14:40:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37ee6cef99 * Adapted nix-pull to use the new substitute mechanism. 2004-06-21 09:51:23 +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.

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 beda10f5a2 * Make perl a dependency of Nix. 2004-03-15 15:23:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f0ed370da * Use $(storedir) instead of $(prefix)/store. 2004-02-20 11:32:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92e832348d * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands. 
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e.,
  `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended.
* nix-prefetch-url works again.
 2004-02-10 16:14:47 +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 ab0bc4999a * Maintain integrity of the substitute and successor mappings when 
deleting a path in the store.
* Allow absolute paths in Nix expressions.
* Get nix-prefetch-url to work again.
* Various other fixes.
 2003-11-22 18:45:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 563afb7fcc * Use passive FTP in wget. 2003-10-02 15:48:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e374dbf89b * A script `nix-prefetch-url' to fetch a URL, place it in the Nix 
store, and print its hash.
