We're not producing source tarballs anymore so this has been bitrotting.

2020-12-02Adds Nix CLI Guideline to docsRok Garbas
As we are working towards Nix 3.0 we want to make sure that we make a huge step forward in Nix's user experience. And once 3.0 is out of the door we need to make sure that all future commands and features keep up the standard of user experience. This PR adds a CLI guideline document to the Nix documentation. Consider this document a good starting point and a checklist when somebody will be (re)implementing commands. Clearly this guideline does nothing to improve user experience on its own and can only be useful as long as it is going to be read and cared for. But it is a first step into that direction.
2020-11-23Fix macOS sandbox buildFabian Möller
Since c4c3c15c19bc448a4797e5d9577539cc14890618 (#4251) building Nix for macOS with sandboxing fails: ``` getting status of /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs: Operation not permitted ``` This happens, because `EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` tries to access paths outside the sandbox. Since the state-dir is not required for doc generation, it is set to the dummy folder. This needs to be done for all nix invocations during doc generation, as `EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` is called unconditionally.

Use "run" to avoid confusion with Nix evaluation. "evaluated" was intended to reference bash eval but it's ambiguous.
2020-10-29Generalize extra-* settingsEelco Dolstra
This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting "extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing "--<name> <value>" on the command line.

2020-09-18nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flagBryan Richter
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to nix-prefetch-url. I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little executable: 1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script 2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix 3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts 4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix 5. Run the executable I repeated the above while using --name, as well. I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with --unpack, but I have not tried it.

Otherwise, the steps advertised in this document won't actually work (e.g. `make install` will fail, trying to access /usr, and `./inst/bin/nix` won't exist).
