Eelco Dolstra 9d2f128252 * Refactoring. 2003-03-24 11:50:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 20d165c344 * A command to run programs in Nix packages, that is, to execute a run
action.  Run actions are described by uniquely hashed descriptors,
  just like build actions.  Therefore run actions can have
  dependencies, but these need not be the same as the build time
  dependencies (e.g., at runtime we can link against a different
  version of a dynamic library).  Example:

    nix run 31d6bf4c171282367065e0deecd7c579

  will run the Pan 0.13.91 newsreader with gtkspell support.

Eelco Dolstra 2e59698b78 * Added a command to verify the consistency of the database. 2003-03-21 15:53:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e582ee67cd * Fetch sources from the network. 2003-03-21 14:10:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cadc3852e4 * nix-instantiate now instantiantes the closure of the set of
descriptor templates under the import relation.  I.e., we can now
  say:

    nix-instantiate outdir foo.nix

  which will create descriptors for foo.nix and all imported packages
  in outdir/.

Eelco Dolstra b3594e9eaf * A script to instantiate package descriptors from templates. 2003-03-20 16:52:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8999f923ea * Improved Nix. Resources (package descriptors and other source
files) are now referenced using their cryptographic hashes.  

  This ensures that if two package descriptors have the same contents,
  then they describe the same package.  This property is not as
  trivial as it sounds: generally import relations cause this property
  not to hold w.r.t. temporality.  But since imports also use hashes
  to reference other packages, equality follows by induction.
