2022-11-06manual: build action -> build taskValentin Gagarin
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it is built. also it's easier to pronounce. proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).
2022-10-19Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of pathsJohan Herland
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a `nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

2022-09-18address review feedbackTravis A. Everett
Mainly: - Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will not quickly grow stale. - Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests. - Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the installer test section.
