2020-08-19Improve margins between sectionsEelco Dolstra
The default CSS puts almost no space between sections, but a lot of space between subsections. This flips that around.

2020-08-06Add hashed-mirrors backMatthew Bauer
Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has. Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix. Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in \#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.

2020-07-26libutil/logging: extend `internal-json` logger to make it more machine-readableMaximilian Bosch
The new error-format is pretty nice from a UX point-of-view, however it's fairly hard to parse the output e.g. for editor plugins such as vim-ale[1] that use `nix-instantiate --parse` to determine syntax errors in Nix expression files. This patch extends the `internal-json` logger by adding the fields `line`, `column` and `file` to easily locate an error in a file and the field `raw_msg` which contains the error-message itself without code-lines and additional helpers. An exemplary output may look like this: ``` [nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix-instantiate ~/test.nix --log-format minimal {"action":"msg","column":1,"file":"/home/ma27/test.nix","level":0,"line":4,"raw_msg":"syntax error, unexpected IF, expecting $end","msg":"<full error-msg with code-lines etc>"} ``` [1] https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale
