2022-12-23nix develop: Set personalityEelco Dolstra
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.

2022-12-21update description of "store derivation" in installables sectionValentin Gagarin
a store derivation is not a store path itself, it has a store path.

2022-12-21Make `./mk/run-test.sh` work by itself; add `mk/debug-test.sh`John Ericson
First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a little easier. This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling. See the updated manual for details.

refactor rendering documentation of options
2022-12-07do not render links in man pagesValentin Gagarin
this is a follow-up on e7dcacb. most links are relative and this should not be too much of a detriment.
2022-12-07use HTML anchors for config parametersValentin Gagarin
this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown` neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML. this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.

2022-12-07Post build hook signing (#7408)endgame
* docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned store paths being copied into binary caches. See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details. Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all locally-built derivations with the private key.

2022-12-07Remove repeat and enforce-determinism optionsLinus Heckemann
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held: - The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in repeated builds), AND - The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND - No remote builders that can build the path are available. If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.
