Mention number of derivations to be build/fetched in output
2020-06-18Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.Samir Talwar
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this. Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making installation a no-op. [Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html
2020-06-17Mention number of derivations to be build/fetched in outputJoe Hermaszewski
Also correct grammar for the case of a single derivation.

Unless I am misinformed, using the `nixpkgs` repository directly is now preferred?

2020-05-21focus on golden-path covering most scenariosTravis A. Everett
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing setup--not enforcing a best-practice... Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers: + no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume: All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use) + create new unencrypted volume: Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault + create new encrypted-at-rest volume: Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault Catalina, T2, no FileVault - require user to pre-create encrypted volume Catalina, T2, FileVault

2020-05-16Remove -j option from simple-build-testingJörg Thalheim
By default Nix/NixOS already set a reasonable default `max-jobs = auto` so we don't need to mention it in this tutorial. The option is still documented in other parts of the documentation if users ever stumble over this. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2531

General cleanup that makes it easier to search for the term.
2020-05-09Update "Upgrading Nix" documentationShao Cheng
This PR proposes two changes to the "Upgrading Nix" documentation: * Besides updating `nixpkgs.nix`, we also update `nixpkgs.cacert`, so that the certificates are up-to-date as well. * Add the instructions for multi-user mode on Linux.

2020-04-14add NIX_USER_CONF_FILESzimbatm
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files. Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding which user files Nix will load during startup.

2020-03-23doc: Files in the store have modes 444/555, not 644/755Greg Price
This line has been this way since it was written, in 9e08f5efe in 2006. I think it was just a small mistake then; Eelco's thesis earlier that year says the permission on each file is set to 0444 or 0555 in a derivation's output as part of the build process. In any case I'm pretty sure that's the behavior now.
2020-03-19Remove the --delete option for --gcjakobrs
Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation. $ nix-store --gc --delete error: only one operation may be specified Try 'nix-store --help' for more information. Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references to the (now gone) --delete option. Other information: * Path for Nix 0.16 used: /nix/store/rp3sgmskn0p0pj1ia2qwd5al6f6pinz4-nix-0.16
