Eelco Dolstra ae6fb27f18 * `nix-store --read-log / -l PATH' shows the build log of PATH, if
available.  For instance,

    $ nix-store -l $(which svn) | less

  lets you read the build log of the Subversion instance in your
  profile.

* `nix-store -qb': if applied to a non-derivation, take the deriver.

Eelco Dolstra b3d3700e11 * nix-build: check the exit status of `nix-store -r'. 2006-10-19 17:30:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a67556f71 * Special derivation attribute `allowedReferences' that causes Nix to
check that the references of the output of a derivation are in the
  specified set.  For instance,

    allowedReferences = [];

  specifies that the output cannot have any references.  (This is
  useful, for instance, for the generation of bootstrap binaries for
  stdenv-linux, which must not have any references for purity).  It
  could also be used to guard against undesired runtime dependencies,
  e.g.,

    {gcc, dynlib}: derivation {
      ...
      allowedReferences = [dynlib];
    }

  says that the output can refer to the path of `dynlib' but not
  `gcc'.  A `forbiddedReferences' attribute would be more useful for
  this, though.

Eelco Dolstra 9e30694f98 * Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), and
the semantic changes.

Eelco Dolstra be1961c9f8 * toPath: should be the identity on paths. 2006-10-17 11:07:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cba913c521 * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. 2006-10-17 11:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass
non-store paths to a builder.

Eelco Dolstra 7de5fe2fc2 * Do the path check on the normal form. 2006-10-17 10:57:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 46b631b6c4 * Don't generate an empty drvPath attribute in the manifest. 2006-10-17 10:15:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)

2006-10-12 20:13:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another
kind of notation for strings.

expression resides in the store.

Eelco Dolstra bd0c40e1e9 * import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make import (x + y)'
work, where x is a store path.
