build logs. The program `log2xml' converts a Nix build log (read from standard input) into XML file that can then be converted to XHTML by the `log2html.xsl' stylesheet. The CSS stylesheet `logfile.css' is necessary to make it look good. This is primarily useful if the log file has a *tree structure*, i.e., that sub-tasks such as the various phases of a build (unpack, configure, make, etc.) or recursive invocations of Make are represented as such. While a log file is in principle an unstructured plain text file, builders can communicate this tree structure to `log2xml' by using escape sequences: - "\e[p" starts a new nesting level; the first line following the escape code is the header; - "\e[q" ends the current nesting level. The generic builder in nixpkgs (not yet committed) uses this. It shouldn't be to hard to patch GNU Make to speak this protocol. Further improvements to the generated HTML pages are to allow collapsing/expanding of subtrees, and to abbreviate store paths (but to show the full path by hovering the mouse over it).

builders to point to the store and the temporary build directory, respectively. Useful for purity checking. * Also set TEMPDIR, TMPDIR, TEMP, and TEMP to NIX_BUILD_TOP to make sure that tools in the builder store temporary files in the right location.

of the current profile, e.g., $ nix-env --list-generations ... 39 2004-02-02 17:53:53 40 2004-02-02 17:55:18 41 2004-02-02 17:55:41 42 2004-02-02 17:55:50 (current) $ nix-env --switch-generation 39 $ ls -l /nix/var/nix/profiles/default ... default -> default-39-link * Also a command `--rollback' which is just a convenience operation to rollback to the oldest generation younger than the current one. Note that generations properly form a tree. E.g., if after switching to generation 39, we perform an installation action, a generation 43 is created which is a descendant of 39, not 42. So a rollback from 43 ought to go back to 39. This is not currently implemented; generations form a linear sequence.

`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope. E.g., {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation { builder = ./bla; inherit stdenv libfoo; xyzzy = 1; } is equivalent to {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation { builder = ./bla; stdenv = stdenv; libfoo = libfoo; xyzzy = 1; } Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec {...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not* `rec {x = x}'.
