5ad89398d1 nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation
If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it.
So symlink all outputs in the user environment.

8eed07cda4 nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs
We now print all output paths of a package, e.g.

  openssl-1.0.0i  bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i

or (in XML mode)

  <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux">
    <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" />
    <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" />
    <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" />

6c98e6a5de Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes
This allows adding attributes like

  attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null;

without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms.

We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose,
but using null seems more elegant.

8b8ee53bc7 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language
version.  It gets increased every time a language feature is
added/changed/removed.  It's currently 1.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".

8d8d47abd2 Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation
If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download
those outputs that are actuallty needed.  So if we do "nix-build -A
openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded.
Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}.

The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different
outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the
corresponding derivation goal if that happens.

46a369ad95 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":

  $ nix-build -A pkg

produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.man

produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all

produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2

produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.

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.

17dc306aa3 Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path"
This reverts commit 2980d1fba9.  It
causes a regression in NixOS evaluation:

string `/nix/store/ya3s5gmj3b28170fpbjhgsk8wzymkpa1-pommed-1.39/etc/pommed.conf' cannot refer to other paths

f794465ca8 Disable use of vfork()
vfork() is just too weird.  For instance, in this build:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3330487

the value fromHook.writeSide becomes corrupted in the parent, even
though the child only reads from it.  At -O0 the problem goes away.
Probably the child is overriding some spilled temporary variable.

If I get bored I may implement using posix_spawn() instead.

ea89df2b76 Use vfork() instead of fork() if available
Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot
allocate memory’ errors.  vfork() is used for everything except
starting builders.

88164325fa Fix a segfault when auto-calling a "a@{...}" function
Since the called function can return its argument attribute set
(e.g. "a"), the latter should not be allocated on the stack.

e28b683324 download-from-binary-cache: Try next cache if downloading a NAR fails 2012-11-06 17:55:53 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra
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.

620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

c8daeba303 nix-push: Add ‘--link’ flag
If ‘--link’ is given, nix-push will create hard links to the NAR files
in the store, rather than copying them.  This is faster and requires
less disk space.  However, it doesn't work if the store is on a
different file system.
