2022-04-20nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl commandckie
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs. ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help. nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs> Added 16118 variables. nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out" This derivation produced the following outputs: ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello [1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out hi

The uninstall instructions used to accidentally remove the nix-darwin LaunchDaemon, this was dropped. However, the original intent was to remove the Store volume mounting LaunchDaemon.

2022-02-22doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOStoonn
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.

2022-01-12Release Notes 2.4: add `--indirect` no-op changeProfpatsch
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/00d25e84577659ccf0bc360c61c47b6cd25d1c26 which was first included in nix 2.4. It is a backwards-compatible change since the flag will just be ignored.
2022-01-11Add link to explanation when introducing a new operatorTheodor René Carlsen
The logical implication operator is included in this section but never explained. It might stump new readers with a pretty uncommon operator, and it's never referenced explicitly.
2022-01-03add zipAttrsWith primoppennae
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general. nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.
