2018-04-30nix-collect-garbage: little doc fixDanylo Hlynskyi
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/641

2018-04-12Add to glossary and clarify garbage collectionSean Seefried
While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure). This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection section.

2018-02-22Revert "Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default"Eelco Dolstra
This reverts commit ddc58e789636e1b94149c342575d92583251fbf6. https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1435322

2018-02-22Enable sandbox builds on Linux by defaultEelco Dolstra
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it. Issue #179.

2018-02-21Manual: Update chapter on remote buildsEelco Dolstra
Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store ssh://mac').
