2022-11-06 | manual: build action -> build task | Valentin Gagarin | |
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it is built. also it's easier to pronounce. proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store). | |||

2022-10-19 | Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths | Johan Herland | |
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a `nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

2022-09-30 | refactor rendering command documentation to markdown | Valentin Gagarin | |
idea: - make document structure visible, like in a template - order functions by descending abstraction - avoid nested let bindings | |||

2022-09-18 | address review feedback | Travis A. Everett | |
Mainly: - Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will not quickly grow stale. - Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests. - Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the installer test section. | |||

2022-08-26 | do not render relative links in help pages | Valentin Gagarin | |
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md` links showing up. it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline documentation is hopefully not a big deal. instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`: https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown/issues/105 | |||

the list style is supposed to give more structure. each property is explained as concisely as possible while trying not to sound too fancy. |
