2018-05-18manual: document why ~/.netrc doesn't workGraham Christensen
Maybe there is a better place to document this, which is more generic?
2018-04-30nix-collect-garbage: little doc fixDanylo Hlynskyi
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/641

2018-01-09nix.conf: builders-use-substitutesRenzo Carbonara
Fixes #937
2018-01-04Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute"Eelco Dolstra
Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".

2017-11-20Document secret-key-filesEelco Dolstra
2017-11-20signed-binary-caches -> require-sigsEelco Dolstra
Unlike signed-binary-caches (which could only be '*' or ''), require-sigs is a proper Boolean option. The default is true.
2017-11-20binary-cache-public-keys -> trusted-public-keysEelco Dolstra
The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution from binary caches, but when adding/copying any (non-content-addressed) path to a store.
2017-10-30Add option allowed-urisEelco Dolstra
This allows network access in restricted eval mode.
2017-08-31Rename a few configuration optionsEelco Dolstra
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
2017-07-30replace "Mac OS X" with "macOS"davidak
except in older release notes where the name was actually Mac OS X.
2017-07-17Make the hashes mirrors used by builtins.fetchurl configurableEelco Dolstra
In particular, this allows it to be disabled in our tests.
