Eelco Dolstra	f7526febe4	* A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their descriptor hashes. So we can do nix info $(nix-collect-garbage) to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage) to actually delete them.	2003-04-09 13:03:00 +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

* A garbage collector for installed packages. nix-collect-garbage

doesn't actually delete any packages, it just prints their
  descriptor hashes.  So we can do

    nix info $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to print out the ids of the packages that would be deleted, and

    nix delpkg $(nix-collect-garbage)

  to actually delete them.

* 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
