Eelco Dolstra aac14222f5 nix-profile.sh: Revert to single-user version
Commit 6a214f3e06 copied most of the Nix
shell initialisation code from NixOS to nix-profile.sh; however, that
code assumes a multi-user install and is Linux-specific (e.g. it calls
the "stat" command).  So go back to the simple single-user version.

Fixes #49.

Eelco Dolstra 2605f4f4e6 nix-profile.sh: Don't set NIX_REMOTE on single user installations
Commit 6a214f3e06 reused the NixOS
environment initialisation for nix-profile.sh, but this is
inappropriate on systems that don't have multi-user support enabled.

Eelco Dolstra 477b0fbeca Subscribe to the Nixpkgs rather than NixOS channel 2012-07-25 16:56:56 -04:00
Michel Alexandre Salim 6a214f3e06 Update nix profile: - incorporate NixOS's configuration so that nix is usable by normal users - install as a data file, not a program file 2012-05-31 08:59:36 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 591aab7e21 Remove $FONTCONFIG_FILE hack from nix-profile.sh
It's no longer needed because Nixpkgs' fontconfig uses
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf as a default, just like other distributions.

Eelco Dolstra 9811815429 * Write messages to stderr, not stdout. 2006-03-10 09:41:28 +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.

Eelco Dolstra 66e94d3275 * Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.

Eelco Dolstra f899e8ce4d * Test whether the symlink, not its target, exists. 2004-01-16 15:17:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f83c5e3e5f * Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches
the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to
  .../links/current).  /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink
  if it doesn't exist yet.  Example use:

  $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake
  $ nix-env -p my_profile

  I don't like the term "profile".  Let's deprecate it :-)

Eelco Dolstra ce5fd1cc12 * Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh
dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks 
  up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another 
  glibc so loading barfs.

  Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in
  executables/libraries.  The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is 
  harder.  (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., 
  `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the 
  rpath for the libraries in LIST).  It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, 
  which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but 
  *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.

Eelco Dolstra 9c620e4afa * Generate the scripts so that we can substitute the prefix
etc. correctly.
* Fixed nix-switch.
