Eelco Dolstra 0f827cc607 * Prevent repeated wrapping of closed terms
(closed(closed(closed(...)))) since this reduces performance by
  producing bigger terms and killing caching (which incidentally also
  prevents useful infinite recursion detection).

Eelco Dolstra f797cb5855 * Revive and update the SDF grammar for Nix expressions. 2005-07-16 14:07:35 +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'.

Eelco Dolstra d4879b4dfe * Add curl to the RPM dependencies. Should fix NIX-11. 2005-07-12 16:08:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 22d3587f3b * In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments
with default values automatically.  I.e., e -> e {}.

  This feature makes convenience expressions such as
  pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do

  $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix

  since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a
  default value (__thisSystem).

Eelco Dolstra 928a7c06dc * Don't create patches for archives >= 150 MB because bsdiff can't
handle it.  It crashed on the 234 MB tetex archive.  Probably we
  will never be able to handle archives of that size on 32-bit
  machines (because bsdiff does everything in memory requiring
  max(17*n,9*n+m)+O(1) bytes, so the address space simply isn't
  there).
2005-06-18 14:20:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 040140dd1c * Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
  attributes named `x' and `y' removed.  It is not an error for the
  named attributes to be missing from the input set.

Eelco Dolstra 109cde6706 * Ignore (with a warning) invalid garbage collector roots. 2005-05-10 14:56:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c09e47c68f * Some svn:ignores. 2005-05-10 14:43:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8be1db899e * Another typo. 2005-05-10 14:24:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cbc8d083ac * Make unpacking of patch sequences much faster by not doing redundant
unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths.

Eelco Dolstra 456f3251d2 * Typo. 2005-05-10 14:21:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9ec7e58aa4 * Handle store path arguments in `nix-env -i' correctly again. 2005-05-09 17:55:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bfe4875a5e * Use Berkeley DB 4.3.38. 2005-05-09 15:30:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8f57634c14 * Automatically upgrade the Berkeley DB environment if necessary. 2005-05-09 15:25:47 +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).

Eelco Dolstra edd145d2fb * Lazily compute the derivation and output paths of derivations. This
makes most query and installation operations much faster (e.g.,
  `nix-env -qa' on the current Nixpkgs is about 10 times faster).

Eelco Dolstra 426593162e * ATermMap needs an assignment operator, otherwise we are screwed. 2005-05-08 10:28:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77557a6f06 Commit 3000!
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy.  The expression
  `derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially)

    attrs // {
      type = "derivation";
      outPath = derivation! attrs;
      drvPath = derivation! attrs;
    }

  where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation
  instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do).  The
  advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and
  `nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to
  instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute.  (However,
  `nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always
  evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes).

  Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other,
  for example,

    webServer = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl";
      services = [svnService];
    };

    svnService = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = webServer.hostName;
    };

  Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).

Eelco Dolstra 52a2f41320 * Include some required header files. 2005-05-04 16:33:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26fd28432d * FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have stdint.h, use inttypes.h instead (which is
also part of ISO C).
2005-05-04 16:32:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5dea0622d1 * Idem (constness fix).
* `compare' in GCC 2.95 is broken.
2005-05-04 16:31:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a266e35d4 * GCC 2.95 compatibility fix in constness; strangely, I think this
should not have worked at all.
2005-05-04 16:31:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7b3cdbd91 * GCC 2.95 compatibility. Prevents internal compiler error in member
template friends.
2005-05-04 16:30:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ae6d9033a1 * The eof() state isn't guaranteed to be set non-lazily. GCC 2.95
compatibility fix.
2005-05-04 16:29:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d8a31da1ea * Use $(MAKE)' instead of make' for systems where `make' isn't GNU
make (such as FreeBSD).
2005-05-04 16:28:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 36fb29f8f0 * Merge remaining stuff from the nix-make branch.
* Add support for the creation of shared libraries to `compileC',
  `link', and `makeLibrary'.
* Enable the ATerm library to be made into a shared library.
2005-05-02 15:25:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 02f2da0142 * Merging from nix-make branch:
- Add __currentTime primitive (dangerous!).
  - Allow imports of derivations.

Eelco Dolstra 6842bc9ac4 * Be quiet when untarring a channel file. 2005-05-01 09:36:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f913283570 * Remove redundant message. 2005-04-13 09:20:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f3601a36c * Argh! The patch downloader was broken due to the renaming of the
`--isvalid' flag in nix-store.
2005-04-12 10:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3660b1c8c * Garbage collector fix: allow deletion of paths that have invalid
(but substitutable) referers.
2005-04-12 10:51:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d5219a351a * Damn. Disable the USE heuristic for now, since the deriver in the
database isn't always in the manifest (so the reference graph cannot
  be reconstructed fully).
