Eelco Dolstra 392b7e0f8e * Fixed a bug in the upgrade operation. 2003-12-23 22:13:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 833f2fc92d * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2003-12-22 16:40:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf0287c09e * Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt

  to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if 
  the latter has a higher version number.  This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not 
  installed.  Wildcards are also accepted, so

    nix-env -u foo.nix '*'

  will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if 
  available.

  The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most 
  cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator:

    TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0);
    TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1);
    TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1);

  (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater)

* A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'.  This is 
  the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful 
  output, e.g.,

$ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
2003-12-22 16:04:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3c9783846 * Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,
nix-env -i foo.nix subversion

  The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the 
  first dash not followed by a letter.
2003-12-21 23:58:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a81b621202 * -u' -> -e'.
* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, 
  /nix/var/nix/links/current).
2003-12-21 22:34:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 528f1d1867 * Bug fix: parallel builds of the same derivation failed due to lock file removal. 2003-12-21 17:09:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cff6fd22eb * Allow successors that don't exist but have a substitute.
* Integrity: check in successor / substitute registration whether
  the target path exists or has a substitute.
2003-12-05 11:05:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d3a1a8582 * Add missing files to `make dist'. 2003-12-02 12:37:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c804c6775 * Regression fix: query flags (e.g., "-qsf") were broken. 2003-12-02 10:21:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 078e20885e * Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:
$ nix-instantiate --help
error: unknown flag `--help`
Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information.

:-)

Eelco Dolstra 5d2b424804 * Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,

Eelco Dolstra ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so
that it can be used by multiple programs.
2003-11-19 11:35:41 +00:00

2003-11-19 10:04:03 +00:00

* More refactoring.
2003-11-18 12:06:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1117ef29d * nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate. 2003-11-18 11:38:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce92d1bf14 * "Nix expression" -> "store expression".
* More refactoring.
2003-11-18 11:22:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0f020929 * libnix -> libstore. 2003-11-18 10:55:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8798fae304 * Source tree refactoring. 2003-11-18 10:47:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 45610ae675 * An forward non-random access input iterator class for ATermLists. 2003-11-16 18:31:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e5a019a07 * Some utility functions for working with ATerms. 2003-11-16 17:46:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06ae269c7c * Do not filter when parsing. This is much faster.
* Add some rejections and lexical restrictions to the grammar to make
  this work.
2003-11-10 11:00:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 15801c88fa * Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since they
turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed
  would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity
  level).  This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%.

  gprof(1) is very useful. :-)
2003-11-09 10:35:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 90e26d392c * Allow null in derivation bindings. 2003-11-06 15:24:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cfaea07444 * `null' is a nullary primop. 2003-11-06 14:41:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 569e7940f8 * Allow `+' in path names. 2003-11-06 14:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa18f1f184 * Assertions.
* Logical operators (!, &&, ||, ->).
2003-11-05 16:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e17e95a828 * Print a shared textual ATerm if the term if very large. Due to
substitutions, Fix terms are very large when printed as trees (in 
  memory, they are quite compact due to sharing).
2003-11-05 16:20:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80bb477cc4 * Default function arguments. 2003-11-05 15:34:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0690c1c9c0 * Work around problems with the ATerm library.
The ATerm library doesn't search the heap for pointers to ATerms
  when garbage collecting.  As a result, C++ containers such as
  `map<ATerm, ATerm>' will cause pointer to be hidden from the garbage
  collector, causing crashes.  Instead, we now use ATermTables.
2003-11-03 20:30:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ff31324278 * Ignore options passed to the aterm library. 2003-11-03 18:21:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2655aa332 * Shorter list syntax ([a b c] instead of [a, b, c]). 2003-11-03 11:59:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ad0976f8d5 * Grammar changes. Attributes in attribute sets are now delimited with
semicolons instead of comma's.  Final semicolon in the set is optional.
2003-11-03 10:21:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40986312bb * Boolean constants. 2003-11-02 17:36:15 +00:00
