Eelco Dolstra	66e94d3275	* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g., ... default -> default-94-link default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8... ... default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca... experimental -> experimental-2-link experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480... experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f... * `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S' * `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p' * The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles. $prefix/var/nix/links is gone. Profiles can be stored anywhere. * The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not ~/.nix-userenv. * The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not `.id'.	2004-02-06 10:30:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	d9f30fe7c7	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name. ... * `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.	2004-02-02 10:51:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	4a373a3e9a	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default ... path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.	2004-01-05 16:26:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	f83c5e3e5f	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches ... the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)	2004-01-05 11:18:59 +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	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. :-)	2003-12-01 15:55:05 +00:00
