Source: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/067076287bf601f8fa2ffe4feff3057b96fa5be8/src/nix-build/nix-build.cc#L362-L381

doc: De-emphasize nix-env without -A
2021-11-17doc: De-emphasize nix-env without -AJan Tojnar
The manual uses `nix-env -i` without `-A` prominently, teaching a bad practice to newcomers.
2021-11-17Fix XDG_CONFIG_DIRS fallbackJan Tojnar
According to XDG Base Directory Specification, it should fall back to /etc/xdg when the env var is not present.
2021-11-04docs: Correct fallback user config pathJan Tojnar
This is in line with XDG Base Directory Specification, where ~/.config is supposed to be used when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset. It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.

The previous wording seemed to imply that the "channel:" syntax would resolve to a github archive URL, which is not the case.
2021-05-11doc/nix-shell: Remove outdated bashrc informationLinus Heckemann
This behaviour was removed in 65f6d5db6f5ef2724a3dc03e1773c510123287f1.
2021-04-23Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslashregnat
They are equivalent according to <https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>, and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig` actually specifies that − etc..).

2021-02-16Fix Haskell exampleMauricio Scheffer
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty. When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https. So this switches the example to a different http library.

Use "run" to avoid confusion with Nix evaluation. "evaluated" was intended to reference bash eval but it's ambiguous.
2020-10-29Generalize extra-* settingsEelco Dolstra
This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting "extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing "--<name> <value>" on the command line.

2020-09-18nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flagBryan Richter
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to nix-prefetch-url. I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little executable: 1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script 2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix 3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts 4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix 5. Run the executable I repeated the above while using --name, as well. I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with --unpack, but I have not tried it.
