Allow to sign path as unprivileged user
|
|
`hacking.md` has gotten really big!
|
|
This avoids diff noise when more are added. Unlike with JSON, this is
allowed in JS.
|
|
User can now sign path as unprivileged/allowed user
refs #1708
|

This is done in roughly the same way builtin functions are documented.
Also auto-link experimental features for primops, subsuming PR #8371.

Any primop will do for this, so might as well use one that isn't impure.

- Improved API docs from comment
- Exit codes are for `nix-build`, not just `nix-store --release`
- Make note in tests so the magic numbers are not surprising
Picking up where #8387 left off.

Clarify docs on deleting generations, including fixing a mistake

hacking guide: use more self-descriptive section headings
|
|
Deleting store info corrected (there is a foot-gun in Nix with
`--delete-generations old`!)
Also a few things are cleaned up based on feedback.

split nix.conf man page into sections
|
|
|
|
|
|
this makes it easier to scan for specific information, such as the
format of command line flags
|
|
|
|
Uninstall instructions were moved to their own page in #8267. The
overall section link was redirected in #8286, but platform-specific
links (which I give out frequently when I triage installer trouble)
weren't included.

This is generally a fine practice: Putting implementations in headers
makes them harder to read and slows compilation. Unfortunately it is
necessary for templates, but we can ameliorate that by putting them in a
separate header. Only files which need to instantiate those templates
will need to include the header with the implementation; the rest can
just include the declaration.
This is now documenting in the contributing guide.
Also, it just happens that these polymorphic serializers are the
protocol agnostic ones. (Worker and serve protocol have the same logic
for these container types.) This means by doing this general template
cleanup, we are also getting a head start on better indicating which
code is protocol-specific and which code is shared between protocols.

While this is not actually a notion in the implementation, it is
explicitly described in the thesis and quite important for understanding
how the store works.

nix actually needs c++20 now
|
|
Add `nix-channel --list-generations`
|
|
|
|
packages and configurations are not really a concept in Nix or the Nix language. the idea of transforming files into other files clearly captures what it's all about, and the new phrasing should make the term "derivation" more obvious both in terms of meaning and origin.
|
|
document identifier syntax for attribute sets
|
|
|
|
Add support to --list-generations
as another way to say
nix-env --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels --list-generations
the way we did for nix-channel --rollback [generation id]
|
|

update documentation according to release notes
|

document `builtins.currentTime`
