<listitem><para><command>nix-env</command> selectors are now regular
|
|
|
|
|
expressions. For instance, you can do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
$ nix-env -qa '.*zip.*'
|
|
|
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to query all packages with a name containing
|
|
|
|
|
<literal>zip</literal>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Derivations can specify the new special attribute
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>allowedRequisites</varname>, which has a similar meaning to
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>allowedReferences</varname>. But instead of only enforcing
|
|
|
|
|
to explicitly specify the immediate references, it requires the
|
|
|
|
|
derivation to specify all the dependencies recursively (hence the
|
|
|
|
|
name, requisites) that are used by the resulting
|
|
|
|
|
output.</para></listitem>
