128538ef06 nix-shell: Add --run flag 
‘--run’ is like ‘--command’, except that it runs the command in a
non-interactive shell. This is important if you do things like:

  $ nix-shell --command make

Hitting Ctrl-C while make is running drops you into the interactive
Nix shell, which is probably not what you want. So you can now do

  $ nix-shell --run make

instead.

049c0eb49c nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options 
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated
rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to
‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.

‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet 
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics 
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is
unnecessarily verbose.

792fd51f41 Fold two stack trace messages in derivations 
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations
are now much less verbose, since something like

  while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr':
  while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict':
  while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3':
  while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17':
  while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9':
  ...

now reads

2c1ecf8e81 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’ 
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction.  Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.

The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS).  That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:

  with import <nixpkgs> {};
  [ thunderbird
    geeqie
    ...
  ]

then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:

  $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir

to update the profile to match the specification.  (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)

Suggested by @zefhemel.

9de6bc5d05 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag 
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored.  This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them.  The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

bbc107ef1e Process binary caches in order of priority 
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.
The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority.  This
is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are
processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
