2021-08-28doc/manual/local.mk: fix 'make install DESTDIR=...'Sergei Trofimovich
Install failure is observed when we try to install into inplace location as non-root: ``` $ LANG=C make install DESTDIR=$PWD/__i__ V=1 RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Unexpected error when constructing destination path 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Permission denied (os error 13) make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101 ``` The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.

2021-07-27Fix the generation of nix3 manpagesregnat
- Separate the generation of the manpages from their installation - Make sure that `make` generates the manpages - Make sure that `make install` installs them Fix #5051
2021-07-19Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpagesregnat
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the generation as part of `install`. Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by - Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS` - Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)

doc: builtins: use a definition list
2021-06-03Improve explanation of NIX_PATH prefix syntaxKeshav Kini
The previous wording seemed to imply that the "channel:" syntax would resolve to a github archive URL, which is not the case.

2021-05-05doc: builtins: use a definition listAlyssa Ross
This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful). Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this part of the documentation!

2021-04-23Merge branch 'remove-trailing-spaces' of github.com:NixOS/nixEelco Dolstra
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..).

2021-02-25distributed builds: load remote builder host key from the machines fileGraham Christensen
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.
2021-02-24Respect command registrations in plugins.Shea Levy
2021-02-24Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flagsShea Levy
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can actually define new subcommands.
