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)

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.

2021-02-16Fix Haskell exampleMauricio Scheffer
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty. When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https. So this switches the example to a different http library.
